Shelley began her career in healthcare, first as a surgical tech for a large ophthalmology group, then managing a retail optical department. Working alongside twelve doctors and a heavy patient load taught her to manage time, follow up on every detail, listen closely, and explain technical things in plain language. Her clients benefit from that today.
She came to real estate as a client. While she sold one home and bought another with three young children, a savvy broker helped her, then connected her with an agent who needed part-time help. Shelley built a website, flyers, and newsletters, sat in on appointments, and decided she wanted in. She was named Rookie of the Year in her first year.
Shelley has been in the industry since 2001 and licensed since 2003, with experience in both residential real estate and commercial land development. She started in Pueblo, where her work was all residential, then moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where she worked for a land developer on the commercial side. She returned to Colorado in late 2019 and started in Denver in 2020. Twice she started over in a new place with no network. She measures success by staying power, not volume, and her love of the work has kept her in the market through every high and low. Clients can count on her to be there for their next move.
She is with The Cornerstone Group at SERHANT., led by Brett Reasoner, and serves Denver Metro, including neighborhoods like Cheesman Park, Virginia Village, Indian Creek, and Highlands Ranch, as well as Castle Rock, Littleton, Parker, Arvada, and Aurora. She also serves Pueblo, Pueblo West, and Southern Colorado. Her clients include first-time buyers, investors, growing families, relocating buyers, and downsizers. She helps families ready inherited homes, lines up contractors for refreshes, stages homes, and works with an interior designer on builder model installs. Residential is her focus, but she still takes commercial work and has a commercial listing in Pueblo.
Shelley listens first, prepares the home, negotiates, manages every deadline, and stays in touch long after closing. She never pressures a client, never rushes a closing for a paycheck, answers every call and message, and delivers news right away. A longtime Pueblo homeowner had no budget or wish to update her house. Shelley respected that and priced to sell. Two offers came within a week, and the seller moved into a low-maintenance apartment with cash in hand.
Clients say Shelley is helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to trust, and that they feel they have known her for years. Most of her business comes from referrals, past clients, and community.
Shelley lives in southeast Cherry Creek. Her perfect day starts with a good workout. She loves biking, yoga, strength training, pickleball, and anything outdoors. Her three children and five grandchildren motivate her, and she hopes to inspire them and leave a legacy to be proud of. She enjoys live music, theater, and dancing.
