Shannan L. Lareau - RE/MAX Select One

I am a Southern California native; grew up in Mission Viejo and attended Capistrano Valley High School. Growing up my dad had an enthusiasm of open houses and this is where I developed my passion for real estate. In 2003 I decided to quit my job, sell my home, and move to Las Vegas to pursue my dream of being a Realtor. As luck would have it I jumped into the market at the perfect time.... I often wondered why everyone didn't sell real estate? The market was fun and exciting! With property values doubling in just a few short years Las Vegas seemed to be the "meca" of the real estate industry! It was during this time that I realized how amazing it is to hand someone the keys to the home that they will raise their family in, retire, or vacation in. I have always felt proud that these folks chose me to represent them in one of the biggest investments they will make in their lifetime.

Although Las Vegas was only a 4 hour drive I just didn't see my family enough so I returned home in 2010. I started a career as an insurance broker but people just didn't seem as excited opening their insurance policies as they did opening the door to their new home so I am once again pursuing my dream so I can help others pursue theirs.
