Shena's Reviews
5/4/21Charlie Barnes
Shena is a professional and very knowledgeable with Real Estate. She was able to perform dead-on comps, give input to help prepare the homes for the current market. Very detailed and very much in the loop. I never felt that I was second in her list.
Great communication and very attentive to the process which helps with the overall stress of the process. She is a real pusher! She Listed my house on Saturday, and I had a contract on Sunday (yes! One day). With the Real Estate market / current environment, you need someone that known the system and can get it done!
We were able to sell a couple properties and find our dream home in this crazy market. She NEVER slipped or wavered. Thank you Shena for the “A” game.

I would not be honest if I called Shena a realtor. She is much more than that. She has been a realtor, advisor, therapist lol through this home selling & buying process. She has help make this transition as less stressful as possible. She is family.

Shena was the absolute best realtor I have ever worked with. She is very profesional and knowledgeable in the field. During my time and process of purchasing my first home she was on top of everything for me and made sure she did what she had to to fight and get me the house of my dreams! I am forever grateful for all of Shena’s hard work and dedication she gave to me during this process. She is the best when you ever need a realtor whether it’s Chicago or Indiana she is your go to!!!
