SHAWN KELLEY

I grew up in Rutland, Vermont and enjoy furniture refinishing, home decorating, golf, and sports.

I am very easy to talk to and a very good listener. During my adult life I have been exposed to people from all types of backgrounds and try to respect different points of view. Honesty and integrity is the personality trait that I appreciate most in other people. I hope that I am able to instill these traits in my children. I try to set examples in my life based on honesty, integrity, and conviction.

Advice to buyers and sellers – Just as we put our faith in our doctors, buyers and sellers should be able to put their faith in their real estate professional. I am committed to guide our clients through the buying and selling process.

The most important thing I can do in my life is to provide for a better future for my children.

PEOPLE ARE TALKING...

"Shawn Kelley epitomizes professionalism and integrity.  His knowledge of the market, negotiating skills and ability to glean from his client the information he needs to find the perfect home at the best price are extraordinary traits.   To be honest, I was very apprehensive about getting in to the home buying market.  My former husband and I bought a home some time ago and we did everything wrong.  Our agent did not serve our interests at all and, quite frankly, colored my view of the real estate industry as a whole.  I was very worried about getting “taken” again.  Within a very short period of time, Shawn earned my trust and respect.   I think every agent could/should learn from his example.  And I also believe that CENTURY 21 Advantage is very, very fortunate to have him among your agents.  He, as they say, is a “keeper”.  It has been a pleasure, truly, to have had the good fortune to work with Shawn Kelley and CENTURY 21 Advantage." Carolyn Bausch

"Everyone was really helpful and supportive during the extra-long process.  Shawn is completely devoted and did a lot of extra work!  He was realistic, but also pushed for a low price; we got a great deal. Shawn made many phone calls to bank officers and came to meetings to help push the process along when it was getting difficult.  It seems that in dealing with banks, absolute meticulousness is necessary, maybe above and beyond what we thought - like scanning and emailing every document to several people." Jane Bearden

“Shawn was committed to helping us find the perfect house to make a home.  It was a long time, but Shawn found it!  I'll certainly recommend Shawn!" Kristen Scavone

"We were looking to buy a home in Vermont after living overseas for many years. We would never have even considered buying a house from a distance of 3,000 miles away~ until we met Shawn. Instantly we were struck by Shawn's complete dedication to his customers and sincere desire to simply help us purchase our dream home. There was never a moment, throughout our entire process,  that Shawn wasn't completely and utterly there for us. As if by magic, Shawn listened, in detail, to what qualities we were looking for in a home, and turned it into a reality.  We purchased our house sight unseen with complete, 100% trust in Shawn... and with Shawn as our agent, we would do it again!   Shawn is one of the most professional, honest, efficient and caring professionals I have ever had the privilege to work with. He made what could have been a very stressful and worrying experience.. actually fun! Shawn's dedication didn't just end at the closing table, he continues to be a trusted source of help and information to us as new comers to our area. Mark Naylor and Wendy Lewis

"Shawn's enthusiasm, dedication and willingness to go "above and beyond" sold the place.  He is excellent.  Shawn really was put to the test with the complications of this closing and passed with flying colors.  He is really an excellent agent and I plan on using his services again." Michelle Trahan

"The office staff was always helpful and courteous whenever we telephoned.  Our agent, Shawn Kelley, has been in touch constantly throughout our search and during our move. We do not/will not hesitate to contact him for advice/assistance as we get settled. He was persistent in helping us find just the right property for us, even to offering advice when we considered for-sale-by-owner properties.  We greatly appreciate his assistance and his follow-up to make certain all is well with our move." Louis and Elizabeth Wilson

"To say that Shawn Kelley was a great Realtor and helped us in our relocation from Texas would be an understatement.  As a fellow Realtor coming from out of state, I thought I could do my own searching for a new home and then employ a Realtor to help us with the paperwork.  After looking and calling around to homes in the area, we found Shawn and he was able to show us homes we would have otherwise not seen.  Shawn showed us the pros and cons of each area we looked at and in the end helped us make not only a home purchase but a great investment! Shawn's dedication did not stop there.  After we closed, expecting to never hear from him again, Shawn provided us invaluable help in renovating our home and still checks in to see how we are to this day.  We would highly recommend Shawn to anyone looking to buy or sell a home as his service is unsurpassed!"  John and Darlene Hodges
