Donald Shankle

It is Don Shankle’s belief to keep the process of buying or selling a home as simple as possible, providing his clients with as much useful information as possible so they can make informed decisions; they need to know where pitfalls may lie and how various provisions in a contract of sale may impact them, adversely or beneficially. There are hundreds of "bumps" in the road from contract to settlement and beyond settlement. Don’s experience has enabled him to know what to look for; anticipate the hazard and know how to avoid it. Don takes great pleasure interacting with his clients . . . Don listens.

The majority of Don’s business is developed from past business. Over 80% is from referrals, from past customers and clients, from acquaintances and loved ones. He has helped the children of clients and next-door neighbors of friends in their Real Estate needs.

Through the years, Don has truly enjoyed helping his customers attain their goal of home ownership. He takes pleasure demonstrating how home ownership and real estate investments can increase their net worth; analyzing the use of financing as a tool to increase the return on investment. After all, the goal is to develop a plan that increases wealth in future years.

Don’s mission is very simple. He shall complete the job as expected, eliminate the surprises that threaten a transaction, and treat all people the way he would want to be treated. If Don accomplishes the "mission," his reputation as a fair and knowledgeable Realtor will spread.
