Realtor Intero Real Estate San Jose - Willow Glen 01828662
I love every aspect of Real Estate! Architecture, relationships, legal contracts, ongoing education and most of all, the satisfaction of helping others achieve their Real Estate goals.
I have an Executive Sales, Marketing & Leadership background which ended in an Executive Management position in the food industry. With that, I brought to Real Estate many skills that work to get the best price purchased or sold for a home, solid communication skills across the board from the beginning to the end of a transaction with all involved, insight into market trends, professionalism and a keen understanding of one's goals. I work to develop a plan on an individual basis. I will give an honest and educated assessment and then formulate a plan to achieve those goals for my clients.
I strive for excellence and offer a high level of professionalism, diligence and care to each individual. I'm motivated by doing a good job and will treat all clients with the utmost care. I'm a referral based Realtor and gain my business through the excellent service I offer to clients and their friends and family.
I was born and raised in what is known as Silicon Valley. I grew up in Sunnyvale on land that was once orchards now turned to office buildings for technological giants. My family was involved in Engineering with some of the pioneering companies such as Fairchild Semiconductor & Lockheed Martin. I'm a 3rd generation Italian/Irish American. My family started companies in the food business in the early 19th century, with my parents moving into Electrical Engineering in the early 70's.
I love architecture, with a special fondness for dwellings dating prior to 1950. I am on the Board of Directors for Preservation Action Council of San Jose, specializing in the preservation of historically significant architecture.
I also specialize in corporate relocation. I help many through the significant transition of moving from another country or state to the Bay Area.

Shanna was very attentive and accommodating by presenting a wide range of properties and locations for us to preview. She did her best to make a stressful company relocation as smooth as possible! We were very fortunate to have her on our side from beginning to end. Thank you, Shanna!

Shanna was a great agent for us through the process of buying our home. She made us feel comfortable with our financial situation despite our being in a bracket below most of the houses she sells. Shanna went out of her way to pick us up and drive us around to homes, as well as defended us when placed in difficult situations with our loan company. She explained each step of the home buying process and was very generous with her time and efforts. We appreciated all that she did for us, and continues to do as she checks in and recommends handy men, helps decipher tax statements, and gives advice on general home ownership tricks of the trade. She is a great real estate agent and makes herself a good fit for her clients.

Shanna helped me sell my townhouse in San Jose during one of the market peaks. She handled multiple offers with aplomb, and worked hard to get me the best price for my home. Later, she helped me buy a new home, and expedited a very fast close. Shanna works hard, is available to answer any questions, and is highly ethical. I will be recommending her to others.

Shanna is a professional, responsive, well informed and trustworthy Real Estate Agent for the South Bay area.
You'd normally expect these qualities in any professional you engage. So what makes Shanna stand out?
1 - preparation: lots of good questions and listening and observing to understand more what we wanted and who we were
2 - responsiveness: high alacrity in responding to questions, and in providing timely, pro-active guidance
3 - advice: in State / Country where noone seems to talk to you without getting you to sign 15 pages of liability waivers, it was a welcome tonic to be given frank views and insights that were so scarce to obtain for new comers.
