Marcus Shannon

With passion, enthusiasm, and over 20 years of experience in the Atlanta marketplace, Marcus Aurelius Shannon joins Coldwell Banker as a seasoned, licensed Realtor. Marcus’ interest in real estate began in high school, where he worked part-time jobs to attend real estate seminars while his friends were surfing the California coast. Although he achieved major successes in finance and accounting—spending years at CNN, Turner Entertainment, and SunTrust Mortgage—it wasn’t until he transitioned into real estate that he realized what his family and friends had known all along.

Marcus believes it is essential to guide clients through the real estate process based on their unique needs. By taking time to sit down with clients and paying close attention to their location, size, and budget requirements, Marcus conducts exceptional online and in-field market research to match them with their ideal homes.

His positive attitude and willingness to assist have helped him build strong relationships within the real estate community, leading to smooth transactions and cooperation with other brokers. Because they respect and trust his professionalism—and know he works diligently to overcome obstacles—other agents are eager to show his listings, and listing agents encourage sellers to strongly consider his buyers’ offers.

Sellers benefit from Marcus’ proven, cutting-edge systems designed to secure maximum value. He also believes “The Right Home Sells Itself,” so buyers experience a zero-pressure approach. Marcus likens a real estate transaction to an airplane ride—you’re bound to encounter turbulence. However, with Marcus in the captain’s seat and his team as the flight crew, you’ll have the skill and experience on your side to avoid turbulence and enjoy the ride. Yet, knowledge, systems, and skills aren’t the most important reasons clients love working with him—the most important reason is trust.

Marcus has dedicated his career to serving clients for life. As a result, most of his business comes from referrals by friends, family, and satisfied past clients. They refer him without hesitation because they know he will give his honest opinion—even if it means “no sale.” They trust him to protect their interests with a “win-win or no deal” approach to negotiation and to work tirelessly to resolve any issues while keeping the Golden Rule in mind.
