Originally hailing from Northern Virginia’s Horse Country, Shannon grew up deeply immersed in all things equestrian—from competitive show jumping to training and teaching riding classes. After graduating from Ohio University with a bachelor’s degree in English and Sociology, she relocated back to the VA / DC area and began a position with a non¬profit group—creating opportunities for adults with s
evere and profound disabilities. She spent 10 years as an independent living consultant/job developer and was an integral part of moving people from controlled, institutional living situations into a new world, which allowed for, as she said, more “open doors, choices and yes I can attitudes.”
After visiting and falling madly in love with the mountainous region of Western NC many years ago, she decided, in 2005, that she would call Asheville her forever home. Since starting her career in real estate 17 years ago with The Cliffs Communities, she has been fortunate to work with many of the premier, master planned communities in Western North Carolina. Shannon’s dedication to the entire retirement / relocation experience is apparent in her ability to truly listen to each client and creatively pair their needs and desires, ultimately resulting in perfect solutions. In her spare time, you can find Shannon practicing hot yoga, hanging with Brian and Birdie (her 2 rescue pups) or checking out the many fantastic live music venues in downtown Asheville!
