Shannon Harton

A Virginia realty professional for professionals.

What do Clients Say?

Shannon is simply fantastic to work with and is truly an expert on the Richmond market. With my wife and I being new to the area, he took the time to educate us on the area and provided a local's perspective on Richmond's changing landscape. Shannon was incredibly attentive to our needs throughout the home buying process. Although he was working wit multiple clients at the same time, I never felt ignored. He always responded to text messages and seemingly always had time to meet for home tours. I cannot stress enough that Shannon seemingly knows EVERYONE in Richmond real estate. From his relationship with other agents to his extensive list of contractors and service providers, Shannon absolutely has someone on speed dial for every situation. If you want an exceptional agent with a great sense of humor and top notch customer service, Shannon is your guy!

Home Buyer, Northside RVA

Shannon was an absolute dream to work with. He was extremely honest throughout the whole process. When it came time to negotiate, he guided us towards an offer that won out over four other offers on the home of our choice on the first try in an extremely competitive market. When snags threatened to derail the closing process, he swiftly stepped in to right the wagon and keep us all on track. I would 110% use Shannon again and highly recommend him!!

Home Buyer, Near West End RVA

Buying and selling a house in this market is a whirlwind. Shannon was the calm before, during and after the storm. We were so fortunate to have his help. We ended up with the perfect house for us. As for selling our home, he made sure we were fixed up properly and efficiently to get our home on the market for the biggest splash. The contractors and relationships he brought to help us get it done so quickly were awesome. The offers we received astounded us. Shannon's advice was spot on every step of the way. Plus, he and Heather are just the nicest folks to work with. We highly recommend!!!
