Shane Hedges

Colorful and adventurous describe the life and successful career of Shane Hedges. Ambassadors, CEOs, sports icons and Washingtonians of all walks of life rely on Shane for their real estate transactions.

This fourth generation Montanan left the sweet alfalfa fields of the cattle ranch settled by his great grandfather so he could lead in the bustling corridors of power in Washington DC. Shane's story isn't just one of achievement and accolades, though he has plenty, but also one of laughter, learning, and an endless desire to explore the vast expanses of our wonderful world.

Shane's adventure began in a small town of fifty residents where cattle outnumbered people by thousands and where he was famously one half of his 8th grade class's entire enrollment. And don’t you worry for even a moment; he was, in fact, the valedictorian. It wasn’t easy clawing his way to top 50% of his class, but it wasn't long before young Shane traded in cattle for Capitol Hill, arriving in Washington DC at the tender age of sixteen to serve as a page in the United States Senate. If politics were Hogwarts, consider this his sorting-hat moment.

Having fallen in love with the power and prestige of America’s capital, he chose American University for his undergraduate degree, followed by an MBA from the University of Maryland.

The political arena taught Shane how to win, an arena where he excelled so much that in 1998, he was the youngest statewide campaign manager in the nation. Running political campaigns was just one of the ways Shane learned to chart courses through turbulent waters, never losing a race he ran.

Yet, it was leading a $100M international education company, with operations across five continents and 30 US states, that Shane really learned to steer the ship. This experience wasn’t just about leading a team of a thousands; it was about guiding people to their destinations through education and the literal crossing of geographical boundaries. And all this while maintaining his unique brand of humor, because, for Shane, a day without laughter is a day wasted.

What do you do after conquering the worlds of politics and global education? If you’re Shane, you become a widely respected and utterly joyful real estate agent. Shane understands that a home is more than just four walls and a roof; it’s the foundation of the American dream, the canvas on which countless families paint memories that last a lifetime.

Of course, Shane’s greatest role - and the one he’s most proud of - is being a husband and father. Parenthood taught him to wield empathy and compassion not as mere tools, but as guiding principles, helping to shape the aspirations and dreams of his most important audience yet.

When Shane isn't orchestrating the next big win, leading teams to global success, transforming lives through real estate, or practicing empathy in action as a dad, you might find him with his nose buried in a book, globe-trotting (either physically or vicariously through the memoirs of fellow adventurers), attempting to golf, or simply enjoying the company of people who add chapters to the fascinating story of his life.

Did we mention he has an infectious laugh? Or that his sense of humor and optimism have a magnetic pull? Well, they do. Montana's governor once quipped, "Shane always takes his work seriously, but never himself." Shane learned long ago that the key to success, whether in personal or professional life, is to keep things light, keep things moving, and above all, keep things fun.

Now call him to sell some real estate. He’s always on your side.
