Patti Shannon is an extremely professional, thorough, and reliable agent. She was enormously helpful in selling
our house quickly, finding interim living quarters, and following up on the smallest detail. Patti is an asset to
the community and one of the most successful agents we have ever met. We have recommended her to several buyers
and sellers. Patti does what she says she will do and is honest and reliable.

Of the many, many real estate people my wife and I have worked with thru the years, Patti Shannon is one of the
very few true professionals. She was informed, thorough, and did a magnificent job of matching our requirements
with the available inventory. From the beginning to closing, the entire experience was enjoyable. We highly
recommend Patti to anyone interested in acquiring or selling real estate.

How do you decide which agent to list your house? Having bought 20 houses over the years, this is how I decided.
- I wanted an agent in the area. Some choose a friend, who happens to live out of the area. Then, when your prospective buyer calls to see the house, the first thought running through the agents mind is "How can I schedule this showing to avoid rush hour.", or, "Gee, I was just there yesterday, maybe I can delay this showing until tomorrow and maybe someone else will call for a viewing, and I can show two times for my travel." That's not the thinking I wanted. I wanted an agent to think "How can I serve this buyer best? How can I meet them at a time most convenient for them?" I knew she'd think my way.
- There are entry level houses, for entry level buyers. And there are expensive houses for those capable of paying for expensive houses. There are people that are comfortable with entry level buyers, and people comfortable with buyers that can afford the finest things in life. Patti has spent a lifetime accustomed to dealing with the later - social graces, King's English. I was selling an expensive house, and wanted an agent that could lead my qualified buyer, and make them feel comfortable.
- Almost without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Nothing bodes success like success. Choose an agent that is successful enough in real estate to work at it full time. If an agent is a part-timer, they are not successful enough to work at it full time, and that is not any agent I want.
- Talk with those who have sold their house, or even those with a "for sale" sign on the front lawn. Everyone likes to be asked their opinion. See if they are happy with their agents efforts. The sellers I talked with were happy with Patti.
- Finally, look for an agent that is constantly selling herself (himself). I liked seeing Patti's face on billboards about town. I knew that when buyers are looking for an agent to call first, as they look through the yellow pages, they'll call a familiar name. They may not know Patti, but they'll know the name. And that's enough for the call.

Allan & I want to thank you for the successful sale of our home. We had our house on the market for some time with
another Realtor without as much as an offer. We were encouraged to relist our home with you because of your
professionalism, knowledge and personalized service. Representing the seller and the buyer can be a very
challenging job and you made it a very pleasant experience, a win-win situation for both parties. If we ever move
in an area that you represent, we will look forward to working with you again. Thanks again for selling our home!
Allan & Linda Johns
Patti Shannon is just the right agent for me! She always returns my calls promptly and is ready to assist me. Her
knowledge of the area and the quality of homes available gives me great confidence we will find the perfect home.
Patti has a dose of enthusiasm and intelligence. I have already told all my friends she is ready to help them buy
or sell! Thank You Patti!

My wife and I live in California and wanted to buy a vacation/retirement home in the Lake Conroe area. We looked
for homes online and found one of Patti Shannon’s listings. Her virtual tour was so impressive that we felt we had
seen the entire home through the Internet. We made arrangements to fly to Houston to view several listings, but
were especially interested in Patti’s listing. After meeting Patti and talking with her about the home in Longmire
on Lake Conroe, we saw that she was very informed and knowledgeable about the entire area. Patti is very
attentive, returns our calls immediately, and is always ready to do what ever it takes to make everything run
smoothly. Our purchase, financing, and closing were all done via emails, phone calls, and faxes between Texas and
California, and Patti made it all happen with no problems. She has integrity and honesty and that is sometimes
hard to find these days. Patti is very loyal and always keeps us informed on the progression of our prospective
purchases. She has earned our respect and continues to represent us in our future buying or selling of Real Estate
properties in the Lake Conroe area. We are very happy with our purchase and look forward to being a part of the
Lake Conroe area.

Patti Shannon goes above and beyond the call of duty. Being a long distance landlord, I needed someone like her to
be my eyes, ears, voice, and hands. She has surpassed my expectations.

Patti, I just wanted to take the time to let you know how much I appreciated all of your hard work, the time you
spent with us AND helping our prospective buyer when they encountered some problems. I cannot stress enough how
much of a burden you assumed and relieved from me the selling of our home. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I have told many
of my friends about your services and will continue to do so. If you were running for a political office, you
would have my vote! I look forward to working with you when we are ready to purchase our property in the future. I
do not consider you as an agent, but a friend.
