Bio

"When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life." I felt naturally drawn to real estate at a young age, having read the Real Estate section in the newspaper in my teens & following what homes would sell for in my neighborhood & surrounding areas.

Following that strong pull towards real estate, I obtained my real estate license in 2014. In 2020, the real estate market was heating up & big changes were coming. I felt that equipping myself with further education was going to be key to my success. In 2023, I started the journey towards obtaining my GRI designation & then my Associate Broker designation (total of 120 hrs combined). After completing the CE, you have to sit for a State test & pass. The experience was one of the most challenging of my life, but the word PASS on that screen was BITTERSWEET.

The profession is both challenging & rewarding - I LOVE IT! No 2 days are the same & you need to always be on your game. As a real estate professional, I have also owned & managed rental properties for over 20+ years & have dealt with many facets of the real estate industry, such as purchase & sale of properties, screening tenants, managing rental properties, maintenance of properties, efficient record keeping, resolving lease issues & maintaining properties up to local /state codes ++.

While working as a Realtor/Associate Broker, I have assisted sellers, buyers & investors in real estate transactions by applying my knowledge, experience & expertise in the industry to allow for successful closure of transactions. I believe relationship building is the core of a successful real estate career.

I currently work F/T at Cummings & Co Realtors as a Realtor/Associate Broker in MD & PA. I am a native of Baltimore County & currently reside in northern Balto County (Hereford zone) w/my husband where we have lived here for 28+ years & have raised 3 children (& 2 dogs).

“There are not enough words in the world to describe how instrumental and helpful Shawn was for our home sale and purchase. We felt like she had our backs every step of the way, from giving tips to prep our home for sale to advocating for what we wanted in a new home. Shawn made us feel so comfortable, even when the process itself was uneasy. She’s not only an amazing realtor but a gem of a person as well.”
