Turning Properties into Performance.
With more than 30 years of experience in design, construction, and real estate, I help turn properties into stronger, more functional, and better-performing assets.
I specialize in identifying opportunities, developing a clear vision, and determining what a property needs to reach its potential—whether that means renovation, repositioning, an addition, a change in use, or a more strategic approach. My experience spans residential, commercial, hospitality, historic properties, and public-facing facilities, with a particular strength in understanding the relationship between investment, construction, usability, and return.
I also believe great properties should have a point of view. I have a particular passion for bringing charm, personality, and a strong sense of place to the built environment—creating spaces that are not only well considered and functional, but distinctive and memorable.
For investors, property owners, and professional advisors, I provide real estate and project consulting focused on the bigger picture: evaluating opportunities, determining which assets to retain or divest, identifying where capital is best deployed, and developing strategies that strengthen both individual properties and overall portfolios.
I’m continually acquiring and transforming distinctive homes and properties, often in charming downtown communities throughout wine country. Some are offered for sale during the renovation process, giving buyers the opportunity to get involved early and become part of the vision. See current opportunities on the Homes for Sale page.
For project inquiries, consulting needs, or information on upcoming properties, please call or text directly.
"We bought one of Shannon's homes and love the attention to detail and her passion for preservation. We've invited her back to plan a future addition and are excited to continue the relationship. Much recommended!"- JENNY R.
"Shannon consulted with me on my first investment property and her advice saved me a lot of time and money. She has a great sense of humor and tells it like it is with no fluff. It felt good to have someone in my corner when big decisions needed to be made." - LAURENCE P.
"My husband and I had decided to diversify our retirement into some real estate but had no idea where to turn. Shannon started by really getting to know us, our goals and lifestyle. Once we locked onto a direction, she introduced us to the perfect realtor and we closed on our first proeprty in 2025. We highly recommend Shannon." - MARGIE AND NATE F.
