Jen Shaughnessy

Jen Shaughnessy is a member of John L. Scott’s Westwood office and became a real estate broker in 2007. She works throughout the Seattle area, including in Seattle, the vibrant West Seattle Junction, the South End, Burien, the North End and east to Issaquah. Jen’s clients often include residential buyers and sellers, first-time homebuyers and those who are relocating to or from Seattle.

The love for Seattle’s architecture and diverse neighborhoods inspires Jen’s career. She is driven by a passion to help others accomplish their real estate goals — whether that is to buy, sell or invest. Jen strongly believes real estate should be a personalized process and treats each client as if they were family. Accordingly, her approach includes hand holding as needed, client advocacy and attention to detail throughout the process.

When working with sellers, Jen employs a variety of strategies to reach her clients’ goals. She always ensures listing photos are top-notch and includes drone photography showing proximity to downtown or Puget Sound, if applicable. Additionally, she promotes listings on social media and creates a “Home Book” personalized to each listing, which provides neighborhood information that is useful to buyers. Jen also uses the John L. Scott Seller Listing Launch and takes the “launching” mindset seriously – when sellers list a home with Jen, she is not just turning out a listing, but rather launching it to the world.

Jen’s clients choose her because she possesses the energy, integrity, and fair-mindedness to ensure the process of buying or selling is a pleasant one. Her broad market experience, enthusiasm, strong interpersonal and analytical skills, as well as her detail-oriented approach, keep transactions on track. Jen feels honored to be a part of something as personal as buying or selling a home for her clients. She loves when her buyers find “the” place or sellers get the price they want.

Jen’s interests include family, her faith, fitness, yoga, and healthy eating. She is a big proponent of her local public schools and volunteers with school auctions, even though her daughters have long since graduated. Additionally, Jen supports the Southwest Seattle Historical Society’s efforts to designate landmark status to important historical buildings.
