Patti Shannon is an extremely professional, thorough, and reliable
agent. She was enormously helpful in selling our house quickly, finding
interim living quarters, and following up on the smallest detail. Patti
is an asset to the community and one of the most successful agents we
have ever met. We have recommended her to several buyers and sellers.
Patti does what she says she will do and is honest and reliable.

Of the many, many real estate people my wife and I have worked with
thru the years, Patti Shannon is one of the very few true professionals.
She was informed, thorough, and did a magnificent job of matching our
requirements with the available inventory. From the beginning to closing,
the entire experience was enjoyable. We highly recommend Patti to anyone
interested in acquiring or selling real estate.

"I had the privilege of working with Teri as a buyer and as a
seller. She is extremely professional and very attentive. She was always
in constant communication on both my purchase and sale. Since buying
or selling a home is usually one of the largest investments (or divestments)
a person will undertake, communication from the realtor is always critical,
comforting, and absolutely necessary. This is where Teri excels. Whether
it was a phone call or email, Teri always returned my inquiries immediately
(even though she might be tied up in a closing or showing). I would
highly recommend her on the buy or sale side. It was a pleasure doing
business with her to say the least." .

How do you decide which agent to list your house? Having bought 20 houses over the years, this is how I decided.
- I wanted an agent in the area. Some choose a friend, who happens to live out of the area. Then, when your prospective buyer calls to see the house, the first thought running through the agents mind is "How can I schedule this showing to avoid rush hour.", or, "Gee, I was just there yesterday, maybe I can delay this showing until tomorrow and maybe someone else will call for a viewing, and I can show two times for my travel." That's not the thinking I wanted. I wanted an agent to think "How can I serve this buyer best? How can I meet them at a time most convenient for them?" I knew she'd think my way.
- There are entry level houses, for entry level buyers. And there are expensive houses for those capable of paying for expensive houses. There are people that are comfortable with entry level buyers, and people comfortable with buyers that can afford the finest things in life. Patti has spent a lifetime accustomed to dealing with the later - social graces, King's English. I was selling an expensive house, and wanted an agent that could lead my qualified buyer, and make them feel comfortable.
- Almost without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Nothing bodes success like success. Choose an agent that is successful enough in real estate to work at it full time. If an agent is a part-timer, they are not successful enough to work at it full time, and that is not any agent I want.
- Talk with those who have sold their house, or even those with a "for sale" sign on the front lawn. Everyone likes to be asked their opinion. See if they are happy with their agents efforts. The sellers I talked with were happy with Patti.
- Finally, look for an agent that is constantly selling herself (himself). I liked seeing Patti's face on billboards about town. I knew that when buyers are looking for an agent to call first, as they look through the yellow pages, they'll call a familiar name. They may not know Patti, but they'll know the name. And that's enough for the call.

When our lake home sold on Lake Conroe, we had less than a month to
find another home that we could move into immediately. We turned to
Terri for help. We began by looking on the internet. With her know how
and guidance, we narrowed the daunting task of selecting down to where
we wanted to live and what we could possibly afford to pay for our next
home. Terri did all the rest faultlessly. She researched the properties
and took us only to homes she felt were worth seeing. Because of her
impeccable taste and attention to our needs we were able to find our
perfect home. After building our
first home, this seemed so easy and much less stressful. Terri makes
it fun and she will always be the first realtor we will call when friends
need help.

Allan & I want to thank you for the successful sale of our home. We
had our house on the market for some time with another Realtor without
as much as an offer. We were encouraged to relist our home with you
because of your professionalism, knowledge and personalized service.
Representing the seller and the buyer can be a very challenging job
and you made it a very pleasant experience, a win-win situation for
both parties. If we ever move in an area that you represent, we will
look forward to working with you again. Thanks again for selling our
home!
Allan & Linda Johns
Patti Shannon is just the right agent for me! She always returns my
calls promptly and is ready to assist me. Her knowledge of the area
and the quality of homes available gives me great confidence we will
find the perfect home. Patti has a dose of enthusiasm and intelligence.
I have already told all my friends she is ready to help them buy or
sell! Thank You Patti!

In November of 2007, I started my search for a new home. From the
first time that I met Teri, there was an instant connection and comfort
level. She never pressured me or complained, as I had her going from
one property to another. The fact that I was not going to purchase an
expensive, multi-million dollar, house never phased her. She was committed
to helping me find "my house". It took me about three weeks
and the experience could not have been made any easier. In the end,
I closed on my home and walked away feeling excited and comfortable
with my decision. Also, I walked away with a new friend. Teri and I
still keep in contact and I consider her a true friend.

My wife and I live in California and wanted to buy a vacation/retirement
home in the Lake Conroe area. We looked for homes online and found one
of Patti Shannon’s listings. Her virtual tour was so impressive that
we felt we had seen the entire home through the Internet. We made arrangements
to fly to Houston to view several listings, but were especially interested
in Patti’s listing. After meeting Patti and talking with her about the
home in Longmire on Lake Conroe, we saw that she was very informed and
knowledgeable about the entire area. Patti is very attentive, returns
our calls immediately, and is always ready to do what ever it takes
to make everything run smoothly. Our purchase, financing, and closing
were all done via emails, phone calls, and faxes between Texas and California,
and Patti made it all happen with no problems. She has integrity and
honesty and that is sometimes hard to find these days. Patti is very
loyal and always keeps us informed on the progression of our prospective
purchases. She has earned our respect and continues to represent us
in our future buying or selling of Real Estate properties in the Lake
Conroe area. We are very happy with our purchase and look forward to
being a part of the Lake Conroe area.

To anyone looking for a real estate professional: Hello, my name is
Michael Buckley and I have just closed on my real estate transaction
in Montgomery. Thirty days ago I decided to move from Dallas to the
Conroe area to establish a new company. A long time friend recommended
Teri Henkleman. I called Teri that same day and had a very nice conversation.
I told Teri what type of house, area and price point that I was
interested in. I met Teri that Saturday at her office and I immediately
felt comfortable with both her knowledge and listening skills. We spent
about an hour previewing houses via the internet. This gave us both
a chance to further develop what we wanted to concentrate on. We then
set out to see some houses and different subdivisions. All the houses
we viewed were close to fulfilling my needs. Although, I did not find
the exact house I was looking for, I knew we were close. I went back
to Dallas at that point to finalize my move. On Monday, Teri called
me with the house that would meet my needs. That weekend I previewed
the house - Teri was right. It was the house that I had been searching
for. Teri is without question a superstar. Being new to the area I looked
to Teri for numerous referrals, title company, inspection company, and
pool company. All of the recommendations have proved excellent. Not
only am I enamored with my house, I know I have made a good friend.
I will highly recommend Teri to anyone looking for a top notch realtor.
Thank You Teri, You are the best,
Michael. J. Buckley
Patti Shannon goes above and beyond the call of duty. Being a long
distance landlord, I needed someone like her to be my eyes, ears, voice,
and hands. She has surpassed my expectations.
Elizabeth Netting
Patti, I just wanted to take the time to let you know how much I appreciated
all of your hard work, the time you spent with us AND helping our prospective
buyer when they encountered some problems. I cannot stress enough how
much of a burden you assumed and relieved from me the selling of our
home. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I have told many of my friends about your
services and will continue to do so. If you were running for a political
office, you would have my vote! I look forward to working with you when
we are ready to purchase our property in the future. I do not consider
you as an agent, but a friend.
