Testimonials

I am so excited to recommend Shanon Tully for all your home sale needs! When I needed help the most, and needed it fast, she was there to save the day! I had already purchased another home so, I needed to get my existing home sold as soon as possible so I didn’t have to pay two mortgages. On top of that, I was also planning my wedding and had to watch my expenses. Thankfully, Shanon completely understood the pressure I was under. She explained the entire process to me in simple terms, was on point with the timeline for me to prepare my house for sale and did everything she could to sell my home quickly! Shanon truly demonstrated her skill when it came to pricing my home to quickly sell at a fair market value. She closely monitored the competition so that my home was always positioned appropriately compared to other homes on the market and explained that, as a home seller, you want to be ahead of the market, not trying to catch up to it. I also really appreciated Shanon’s warm and thoughtful attention. She examined my home thoroughly before listing it and carefully took notes so that she could highlight the best features of my home. Also, her re-design and staging work was simply amazing! She made several recommendations on how to best present my house and even brought in her own pieces of furniture, artwork, and decor to accent the rooms and make them look their best. Further, she reconfigured the furniture layout to maximize flow and emphasize the feeling of space. Afterwards, I remarked how I wished I had lived in the house like this from the very start! All this effort was very beneficial to me, as she showcased the true potential of my home. More than a terrific realtor, Shanon is also very personable and was consistently willing to give all the time needed to meet my needs. She helped me shovel the snow from my driveway when an unexpected snowstorm came through just before a showing appointment and met the water meter reader at the house when I couldn’t due to work. Shanon was always available to answer my questions and communicated effectively with everybody involved in the purchase. To me, it is important to understand that Shanon treats you as a unique client and is truly proud to be your agent! While some people think real estate agents are a dime a dozen, I want you to know that Shanon is the million-dollar real deal!

I was very happy with the real estate services Shanon Tully provided. She was extremely knowledgeable from the beginning of the sale process (THROUGH) the closing. On her initial visit to my condo, she went through the place with meticulous detail and told me item by item what needed to be removed and what needed to be moved into a better location. She found a painter for me to do some repair work to the walls and even told me what the proper height of my chandelier should have been over the dining room table. She helped me stage my entire condominium and even let me borrow furniture pieces so I wouldn't have to spend extra money to finish the rooms completely. And talk about going the extra mile for her clients! When my sister visited me she let herself in the condo when no one else was there and accidentally locked herself out onto the balcony. No one was available to get her back inside and so Shanon came to the rescue and was able to get over there quickly to let her in from the balcony. It didn't matter what questions we had or what we needed, Shanon was always available to answer them and to get us whatever was required. She consistently answered all my calls and emails within in an hour. Even though I only owned my condominium for a year before I sold it, Shanon, through her expert negotiation skills, was able to get me more than $20,000 ADDITIONAL MONEY ABOVE what I paid for the place. I would highly recommend Shanon Tully if you're looking for a real estate agent. Her skill level and dedication to every client is unmatched. And, she really does care!

Shanon is the best. She really is persistent and worked with my busy schedule. I am a business owner and have a hard time making appointments, but she was able to meet me any day of the week. I can't say how happy I am to refer her to friends and family. I had a very complicated 203k FHA loan, a renovation loan, and a Fannie Mae house which is a real estate agent's worst nightmare for most real estate agents, but not Shanon. She took control with ease and made it happen for me. Shanon is great and I can't say enough. I am so happy that I now have a new home. If I can get a house, you can too but you need Shanon.

Shanon was hard working and tireless in selling our house. Very knowledgeable about the market and what makes buyers buy. She ran open houses that were all successful and followed-up with all those who ‘walked-through’. She helped us greatly in staging the house and was always willing to go the extra mile. My wife and I give her 5-stars in all regards. And the results were fantastic for us.

Shanon was a real pleasure to work with, she met us in our home, conducted a thorough market analysis and presented a well-organized attractive, comprehensive CMA for us to utilize in determining at what price we would list our home for sale. When we requested additional metrics about her success with her listings, she provided them in less than 24 hours. The brochures and listing for our home were beautifully done with no detail left out. We found working with Shanon to be very easy and enjoyable, she was always on time, considerate of our time, answered all of our questions and concerns in a professional and timely manner. In addition, Shanon brought in a stager at her own expense to help make our home as appealing as possible to home buyers and it obviously worked as our home sold on the first day!! Shanon has extensive knowledge of the local real estate market as she has lived here most of her life. She goes to great lengths to gain knowledge and insights into the communities and posts information on the community through her blog and videos. Anyone contemplating buying or selling in Downers Grove, specifically within the Orchard Brook subdivision should consider partnering with Shanon. I know she will provide the same outstanding service to others as she did to us. I welcome the opportunity to work with Shanon again.

Shanon was a dream to work with on our recent home purchase! My husband and I happened to meet her at an Open House last summer, and we instantly clicked. When our home search became serious again early this fall, she was right there when we needed her. Shanon’s best traits are her communication, honesty, and knowledge of the area and the market. She is extremely responsive-texting us daily (sometimes hourly!) updates and keeping us informed on how things were going. Her extensive knowledge of Downers Grove helped us understand the market, what was most important to us in a home, and ultimately narrow down our search. Shanon understands the needs of today’s home buyer-she provided helpful feedback and guidance on the homes we had selected online and worked hard to find us our dream home. She was there with us every step of the way - through the purchase of our new home and the sale of our condo - and always made us feel like her number one priority. I cannot say enough good things about Shanon’s professionalism and work ethic - we couldn’t have asked for a better experience in both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our former home. I would recommend Shanon to anyone that is looking for THE agent to help them buy or sell a home.

Shanon was very responsive to emails and phone calls, and her "gut" impression with regard to the selling price of our home was almost right on. However, she also did a thorough objective analysis of neighborhood comps and other like homes that were for sale. She was quite energetic, she spent time staging the house, and we had an offer on our home in 23 days. She was forthright about the property's positives and negatives, with suggestions for ways in which the negatives could be offset. She is a lifelong Downers Grove resident and is very familiar with the Village. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home in DuPage County.

My wife and I met Shanon due to the strong urging of our next-door neighbor. Right from the first, Shanon was personable, friendly, and warm. As we dealt with her further, we discovered that she was also honest, fair and flexible. She dealt with every task as it came up briskly and efficiently. Shanon kept us on track during the literally months that it took us to declutter and sell or donate all the items that had accumulated from living in our house for 18 years. That Shanon was very knowledgeable became clear while deciding what color to paint the walls. Shanon strongly recommended Benjamin Moore Nimbus and we relied on her judgement although we could not visualize it ourselves. Once the house was painted, we were delighted with the results. Now that we are looking at homes to purchase, we see the same or very similar shades everywhere. One of the best decisions we made was to pay the slight premium to have Shanon stage our house. After removing all the items that were not going to be moved, we had holes in our decor. Shanon brought in a host of items including a sofa, armchairs, dining room chairs, artwork, a bed cover and pillows seemingly without end. After Shanon finished, our house looked far better than it ever had before. Shanon also knew and retained an excellent photographer. My wife and I are well beyond pleased with the resulting photographs of our home. The word ecstatic comes much closer. The ultimate test of Shanon's work consists of actually finding a willing buyer. We have a final contract in excess of 98% of our original asking price. We highly recommend Shanon for your consideration.

I hired realtor Shanon Tully to list my land for sale. Right away I could tell that I hired the right agent. She was knowledgeable about the process and came to all of our meetings prepared with the latest information and research. She noticed mistakes that were made in a previous listing by another agent regarding one of the best features of my property; that it was located on a brick street and corrected it in a new listing immediately. Eventually the property was sold by being subdivided. Shanon was able to put me in contact with all the right people, including village officials, surveyors, and attorneys to get the job done. She attended village and planning department meetings regarding the subdivision to provide support and made all of the necessary phone calls to professionals to ensure the timelines were met. It was a long process to complete the transaction, but Shanon made it as pleasant as possible by always keeping me informed and preventing problems before they occurred. I would wholeheartedly recommend hiring Shanon Tully for all your real estate needs. She really does care about her clients and reaching their real estate goals!
