Testimonials

My siblings and I contracted Shanon to sell our mother's house after she passed away earlier this year. I had interviewed several realtors (by phone) who had sold homes in this subdivision, and Shanon by far seemed the most knowledgeable about Downers Grove in general and the Bruce Lake neighborhood in particular. AND she was, hands-down, the least egotistical. Instead of yapping on and on about her prowess as a realtor, she asked a lot of questions and listened to our concerns. She talked about what her approach would be for a house of this vintage and condition and made practical suggestions for what did and did not need to be fixed before it could be sold. She focused on all the positive features and how she would highlight them in descriptions, social media posts, and marketing photos (which were beautifully done, including drone videos of the property and the lake park).Shanon was highly professional and expertly diplomatic dealing with 3 siblings, one in-law, the executor for the estate, and the estate lawyer, as there was very little that all 6 of us agreed on. [I was praying that she wouldn't get so frustrated with us that she'd want to quit...]Offers came in almost immediately after her open house for other realtors, and the property closed in a very reasonable amount of time, for considerably more than I expected we would get for it. I highly recommend Shanon and am happy to have a conversation with anyone who might be considering hiring her to be their realtor.

Shanon was the best! She helped us in more ways than we expected. She was more than willing to take us to many different houses in many different locations. She answered all of our questions anytime, day or nite. If she didn’t have the answer, she would find it. She also recommended a great attorney that that handled the process smoothly. She also gave us a very thorough home inspector who took the time to explain everything to us. She fought for us when we wanted credit for much needed repairs. She helped to make the experience less stressful. Thanks to her sense of humor, it was also fun. I would gladly recommend Shanon Tully to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!

Shanon successfully helped us through the difficult process of selling our home. We encountered several unexpected obstacles throughout our home-selling journey and Shanon gave us valuable insight and guidance on how to navigate through it. Our home had cosmetic issues that buyers were unwilling to look past, but Shanon was able to show the home to a potential buyer herself and sold the buyer on all the great qualities that the house still had. In the end, we were able to avoid doing a lengthy and expensive renovation and make some compromises to sell the house in a suddenly difficult market. I would definitely recommend her as an agent for selling a house in the Chicago suburbs.

Listing my home with Shanon was pure joy! At our initial meeting, she walked me through the complete process which included showing me examples of the brochure that would be created as well as her overall marketing plan. I was pretty direct on what timelines I wanted and she was very willing to accommodate. Communication was ongoing. In fact, the day before the house was to go on the market, she asked to increase the price of the townhouse due to the market as well as the condition and location of the property. We received offers quickly and set a deadline for best and final offers almost immediately. Within less than a week, we accepted an offer. The experience was wonderful.

Shanon went above and beyond for us during our house search. We were looking for a house in Illinois while living out of state, which poses some challenges. Shanon made this process as easy as could be by providing us virtual tours with detailed commentary, emphasizing areas of concern and highlighting qualities we were looking in a home. Her attention to detail as well as understanding what we were looking for gave us the confidence we needed to make an offer on our dream house without even seeing it in person beforehand and we couldn't be happier. She was available anytime we needed to call whether it was for a showing or to be a voice of reason. We can't thank Shanon enough for all she's done for us and highly recommend her for anyone looking to find their next home.

Shanon Tully is simply the BEST! She is extremely competent, engaged in her work, the client's best interest, and to a successful outcome for all involved in the real estate sale. Shanon made sure I was fully aware of my responsibilities to ensure compliance and feel confident in the steps from contract to closing. Additionally, Shanon understands how to sell a house, and truly "understands" when more than just a house is being sold. Her insight is veracious, and her approach to matters outside a usual sale (e.g. house in irrevocable trust, family dynamics, cancelled first contract, etc.) is always professional. I won the "real estate agent" lottery when Shanon was recommended to me! I will always be appreciative of my experience and I highly recommend Shanon. Thank you, Shanon!!

When we decided to sell our home, we needed to do it asap and hopefully without glitches. We looked at some realtor ads and decided to see what Shanon could do for us. After the interview, we both agreed that she would do a good job for us. Shanon then took complete charge of setting up the house for sale. She had professional pictures taken and pointed out a number of things that we could do to expedite the sale. We had some lookers two days after the house was listed but both needed to sell their own homes first. However, they both offered full price for the house which we thought revealed good marketing and excellent pricing on Shanon’s part. The sale and closing went very well thanks to Shanon’s coordination efforts. On a personal note, when Shanon was doing a final walk through just prior to the closing, she found a sentimental item that was left behind after the move and she promptly arranged for its delivery to me, for which I was very grateful! I would certainly do business with Shanon again any time in the future.

"[We] were first time home buyers looking to move from the city out to the suburbs. We luckily stumbled upon Shanon via a listing we wanted to check out. We were extremely lucky in doing so. Shanon has excellent knowledge of the area we were searching in (Downers Grove, Lisle, Lombard, Willowbrook, Hinsdale, and surrounding areas). She's local to the area so often she would say something like... "well let me call some of my friends to find that out for you" or "I have a few folks that I can provide introductions to so you can get a good estimate for that", which we found very helpful as we're new to the area. On many occasions, we'd see a home pop up on Zillow in the morning, and we'd have a showing that afternoon thanks to Shanon. What we liked most about Shanon is her patience. After a few showings and discussions, she really had a good sense of what we were looking for and was patient enough to show us stuff that she even knew wasn't going to be a fit. She never pressured or was impatient with us, which is what we needed in such a crazy home buying environment where we weren't willing to get into a bidding war. Ultimately when we found "The One", Shanon was able to give us a "realistic" expectation of value on the property, which enabled us to move quickly. I'd recommend Shanon to any home buyer. She was excellent."

My sister and I needed to find a realtor fast in order to sell our father’s condo after he suffered an unexpected health condition. Received a referral for a realtor Shanon Tully from a family friend. The moment we spoke to Shanon on the phone, we knew there was something special about her because she made an appointment to see us immediately. Shanon was very pleasant and patient with us because we had many questions and needed help understanding the sale process. She always answered our questions honestly and made us feel as comfortable as possible given what we were going through at the time. The thing that made me so impressed working with Shanon was the time and thoughtfulness she brought to the process of selling our father’s condo. She meticulously planned out every aspect of the sale and more importantly, spent hours planning the marketing of the place. She brought in furniture, bedding, accent pieces, mirrors, and accessories to make the place shine. It was an amazing before-and-after transformation! My sister and I could not believe it was the same place! All of her work paid off for us because we got an offer and were under contract in less than a month for exactly the price Shanon said it would sell for. She also helped us understand what was happening in our local marketplace and knew what we needed to do to meet the expectations of today's buyers. Shanon also helped us find an expert real estate attorney that we could afford and helped us through our particular and complicated situation. I would wholeheartedly recommend that you call Shanon Tully if you want a real estate agent that takes care of your needs before anything else if you want the best chances of selling your home. We couldn't be happier in the way everything turned out for us and we are grateful to Shanon for helping us in our time of need.
