Their Story
Their partnership is built on shared values, resilience, and service. After both experiencing the loss of their spouses, Shawn and Shenneth found each other and beautifully blended their families. Their shared life experiences have shaped them into empathetic professionals who truly understand that real estate is more than transactions—it’s about life transitions, new beginnings, and building a place to call home.
Family is at the center of their lives, and when they are not serving clients, they enjoy working out, travel, music, art, cooking, entertaining, and spending time with loved ones. They are proud parents and grandparents—and joyful “Dog Grandma and Pop Pop” to Onyx and Bailey.
They also remain deeply committed to giving back and proudly support Veterans Affairs, Gold Star Wives, Gold Star Families, and the American Cancer Society.
