My real estate career began in the fall of 1996 in a resort community located forty-five minutes southwest of Fort Worth, Texas.  After nearly six years and achieving the 8th highest volume producing REALTOR in Granbury, we moved to Naples Florida.  Gorgeous white sandy beaches, lush tropical vegetation and the most wonderful sunsets in the world are just part of the charm that makes selling Naples effortless and enjoyable.

To be a Naples Realtor in the Naples real estate market takes a great deal of tenacity.  My enthusiasm for my career and the pleasure experienced from a job well done keeps me on the cutting edge of providing excellent service.    What makes me happiest is performing like a star for my clients.  This is my passion and the reason why becomming a great Naples Florida Realtor was a natural process.

Buying in Naples?

There is a great deal to consider when purchasing property especially if you're purchasing in a market you're not familiar with.  With my experience, I know all the right questions to ask so I can insure you're locating properties that best fit your requirements and also clue you in on aspects you may not have considered.  Not all buyers are purchasing for the same reason.  If you're an investor, typically, your eye is on the bottom line.  Looking for a vacation getaway?  Enjoyment and location may be more important to you.  Raising a family and want to be close to a specific school?  No problem!  I can easily help you identify what your objective is and help you accomplish your goal even if you may not know exactly what your goal is.

Here are additional services you can expect when choosing me to assist you with your purchase:

Automatic Property Notification:  It has never been easier to find a property you can get excited about.  Simply fill out a quick property profile and relax!  Listings fitting your description will be automatically e-mailed to you as often as every day or weekly.  When a property peaks your interest, give me a shout and we'll make arrangements to see it.  Please give me as much notice possible so I can make arrangements for your properties of interest to be available.    Set up Automatic Property Notification

Extensive Market Knowledge:  I know my market!  I help you make the best purchasing decision by giving you the run down about prices, locations, general market expectations and so forth.  In fact, if I don't know it, I don't do it but I know somebody else who does and I will happily share that contact information with you.  Why?  Who want's to work with someone less than an expert...furthermore who wants to be less than an expert at what they do? 

Excellent Negotiating Skills:  I can save you time, money and frustration by offering information that will help you land the best deal with the best terms.  It's important to have someone on your side that can assist you.  Sometimes agents mistake negotiations with a "lose-lose" mentality.  Unrealistic negotiation expectations or clueless business savvy more often than not will make a deal hard to complete or in some cases down right impossible.  I know the difference and can negotiate effectively even with others who have adopted this sort of theory. 

Effective Communication:  By keeping you three steps ahead of the game, you'll know what to expect and what not to expect giving you the best opportunity to game plan from first showing to closing.  Isn't it nice to have someone else watching your timelines for you on contracts so you don't miss important dates like mortgage loan contingency deadlines and inspection timelines?

One Stop Shopping:  I have a whole team of people who help me and my clients get a deal done on time and without a hassle.  They work like I do!  This means when you're looking for a lender, title company, attorney, inspectors, appraisers, surveyors etc. you can be assured that I have the contact information for the best person for the job.  You may need to depend on lots of people to get your deal done and sometimes there's nothing worse than when you have someone who doesn't know how to do their job effectively.  I've seen some service providers kill the deal for people and I can insure quality service regardless of what service you're looking for.

A Straight Forward Approach:  One of my favorite aspects about my job is giving you the information you need to make or in some cases, not make a decision.  Some agents confuse this concept with a, "you need to do as I say" or "you're on a need to know basis" mentality.  Not me!  My job is to tell you what I know, I might even tell you what I think (if you ask) but when it's time for you to tell me which way you want to go, it's all yours.  I respect your decision and know that there will never come a time when you say, "Gee Shannon, I wish you would've told us....". 

My concept is simple!  I want your deal today but furthermore, I want your sister's deal, your boss's deal, your grandmother's deal, your next deal, the one after that and the next one and...well I think you get my point.  The best way to achieve the luxury of your repeat and referral business is to offer an exceptional service.

Shannon Lefevre is a fabulous Realtor.  Her knowledge of the Naples housing market was second to none, she was always in control, and never seemed to be caught off guard or surprised by any situation that arose.  Shannon was always on top of my open houses and provided me with prompt and honest feedback so I could make important decisions with confidence.  Shannon was someone who listened to my goals and helped lead me in a direction that was so easy to follow.  Meeting my goals took no time at all, and when I was working with Shannon, I never felt like just another client.  Instead, I felt like I was her only client and also a friend.

To whom it may concern: 

I welcome the opportunity to briefly describe the excellent job that Shannon did in assisting us with our real estate problem.  We were attempting to purchase a property 60 miles from where we were living.  Shannon not only brought the contracts 60-70 miles for our signatures, but assisted in arranging for inspections, repairs and helped coordinate the closing date to coincide with all the various schedules.  Any calls placed to Shannon were answered promptly and always with a positive and happy attitude.  Shannon is one of those rare individuals who combine complete professionalism with a great attitude regarding her clients.  Currently we are involved in another property transaction with Shannon, which I know will be handled with as much enthusiasm and as efficiently as our first experience.

Shannon has worked really hard and went beyond the call of duty.  We never anticipated for things to move as quickly and smoothly as they did.  She is a pleasure to work with.

Sallie Bailey 

Shannon was extremely helpful and truthful.  She quickly answered our questions and I was very pleased with her personal care.

When we first met Shannon, we were both struck by her enthusiasm and dedication for her profession.  She was knowledgeable of property availability, financing options and the legal aspects of buying and selling.  Instead of just trying to sell us any house, she really set out on a quest to find us just the right house; one that would suit our needs and desires.  She was available to answer any and all of our questions from the writing of our contract through closing.  She acted with great diplomacy when dealing with the seller who was a seasoned agent.  Shannon walked us through our search for a home from start to finish and turned what can be a very intimidating experience into something very pleasurable.  Not only did we find the home we wanted, we found a new friend in the process.
