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).

“The best decision of our house search was working alongside Shawn. Throughout the entire process she was very professional, has extensive knowledge of the market and always made us feel priority. Shawn took the time to show us different houses until we found the right one. I would recommend her to first home buyers like us and everyone looking for a house. Thank you Shawn!!!”

“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.”

"Jessica Powell kept us informed every step of the way as we sold our property. She sent timely and helpful emails, offered sound advice, and worked tirelessly on a fast settlement. We strongly recommend she and her team!"

"Michael and Melodie made a potentially stressful situation manageable. We were completely supported and informed throughout the entire journey. From our first meeting to the final closing, they demonstrated a deep understanding of our situation. They were both knowledgeable, responsive and extremely personable. Their negotiation skills and calm demeanor were instrumental in securing a positive… Read MoreRead Less

"Michael and his team were absolutely fantastic in both finding an amazing home for my family AND with selling our old one. He was incredibly helpful, flexible and professional in searching for a home that made sense for us both in terms of space but finding us a "deal" or at least the best price we could get in the recent market. Our old home was sold to non-investors and at full asking! We too… Read MoreRead Less

"Mike and Melodie were superb. They were diligent, friendly, tactful, and responsive. We dealt with two other realtors before we found them and were disappointed with their service. We were new to the Baltimore market and required assistance. We got that and more from Mike and Melodie and purchased a beautiful home. We would recommend them anytime to anyone."

"Fred Valentin ( a very humble and honest man) sold my house and property in a professional manner and managed to blow away all of my expectations. Fred did all of the market research, scheduled professional interior / exterior photographer, and registered it on all of the apps. I even had REALTORS with Buyers scheduling visits to look at my property before my home even hit the market! All I reall… Read MoreRead Less

"Fred provided excellent knowledge and service and is well-informed regarding local communities. Thanks for all you did!"

"Fred was great to work with! I especially appreciate his continual communication throughout the process."

"Working with Steve was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! His professionalism, market expertise and resilience in navigating challenges were truly remarkable. No matter what obstacles came up, he remained calm, focused, and determined to find solutions that worked in my favor. Steve truly listened to my needs, provided invaluable advice, and went above and beyond to make the process seamle… Read MoreRead Less

"I’m really happy to have had Steve as my realtor. Steve has a lot of integrity and knowledge, so the process made me feel super safe. All of his recommendations worked out really well, especially with me being a first time homebuyer. He was able to help with negotiating and getting seller credit, while also finding a great lender and inspector. He helped me understand each step of the process so t… Read MoreRead Less

"This may not be everyone’s opinion, but when you’re choosing a surgeon, the one who’s “Insta-famous” for funny posts is not the one I want operating on me. I want the one who’s focused on their craft, not their follower count. Same goes for realtors IMHO. There are realtors—the sales reps —and there are REALTORS—the ones who actually care, think, and do the work. John is a REALTOR. The kind of … Read MoreRead Less

"John was recommended to us when we started the journey of buying a house, and we are very grateful that he was. We found that having John as your agent is to benefit from his ability to not only break down every step of what is a very intimidating process but to also benefit from his ability to guide you through those steps with patience, attention to detail, and with clear dedication to you as hi… Read MoreRead Less

"John went above and beyond for my partner and I as we were buying our first home. He took us through each step of the process, so we clearly understood what we needed and answered all of our questions along the way. He made sure that the home we were buying fit our current and future needs. He even came and picked us up for closing in the snowstorm so we wouldn't lose our parking. Highly recommend… Read MoreRead Less

"We recently purchased a home in Baltimore while living in Texas, and we cannot thank John Maranto enough for making this process seamless and stress-free. From our first conversation, it was clear that John is deeply knowledgeable about the Baltimore market, pointing out nuances in neighborhoods that we never would have known from afar. He is incredibly attuned to the needs of his clients; he lis… Read MoreRead Less

"John did an outstanding job selling my home. He has deep knowledge of the local market and helped price the house perfectly, which made a significant difference in how quickly it sold. His suggestions for minor improvements were spot-on and directly contributed to generating strong interest and a fast sale. He oversaw the recommended updates and managed the process seamlessly, which made everythin… Read MoreRead Less

"John Maranto was absolutely stellar to work with. He invested a lot of time in both my wife and I to ensure that not only did we buy the house we wanted, but also bought the house we *needed*. John made the home-buying process easy for us and as first time home-buyers, he made sure to educate us along the way. John is incredibly knowledgeable and answered questions before we had them. Deal with co… Read MoreRead Less

"Working with John was great. He’s a straight up and straightforward agent. Really took care of me and got me into a home that was right for me. During the process he was very informative without being overbearing. And pretty much got me exactly what I was hoping for. Also had a meeting with him upfront. We set expectations and goals and I think that meeting went a long way to easing my anxieties a… Read MoreRead Less

"In my book, Kelly Wise was the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. She knew the market and helped us successfully sell our father’s house. Kelly supported us at every decision point with expert guidance - making recommendations but providing the space to ask questions, which enabled us to get to the right decision. We lived at a distance during the entire process, and Kelly consistently stepped in… Read MoreRead Less

"Our home buying experience with Kelly could not have been better! Even with it being the start of a seemingly endless seller's market, Kelly kept us extremely motivated while the houses that we liked were going under contract in what felt like seconds after listing! Then we found the perfect home.. Kelly could tell by our faces that this was the one we loved. She was able to help us come up with t… Read MoreRead Less

"My husband and I bought a house early this year. We are so happy we crossed paths with Kelly. Kelly accommodated for the evening showings which were what fit our schedule at the time. We had her driving up and down but she always had a smile! When we found the home for us, we were closing within a month. Kelly made sure she was on top of everything and made it happen even though there were some hu… Read MoreRead Less
