What Clients have been saying!
"Shannon is the consummate real estate professional. She's unflappable, reliable, knowledgeable, and, most importantly kind and caring. She takes the necessary time to truly understand what her customer's needs might be. Our journey to the final closing was not an easy one. The San Francisco real estate market isn't always for the faint of heart. Shannon remained committed, calm, and confident - even when we were disappointed with offers that weren't successful in this highly competitive landscape. Suffice to say, we couldn't be happier with the home we ended up buying! You will be in excellent hands with Shannon."

Shannon takes the San Francisco market to another level! One reason is the rare combination of her ethics/integrity coupled with intelligence, responsiveness and attention to detail. I would recommend Shannon to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Kathy M.
Shannon is knowledgeable, thorough and very responsive. She knew exactly what we wanted making the entire process was seamless. I would definitely use Shannon again and recommend her due to her high level of integrity and professionalism.

I used Shannon to sell my home. Shannon was incredible. She handled everything for me from start to finish while always giving me updates along the way. She dealt with the vendors since I had a few repairs to make and helped secure a stager before putting it on the market. She discussed pricing strategy and we got a few great offers which I think was due to the house but also to Shannon's pricing. I was very busy and did not have a lot of time to deal with the little issues that would come up but Shannon took care of those items for me. I am very fortunate to have found Shannon. She definitely deserves five stars.

Shannon helped me buy my first home, and I gladly recommend her to anyone! She's particularly concerned with her client's interests and tastes and would insist on *not* buying a property that doesn't fit.

We used Shannon to sell our home. She was very knowledgeable, thorough, and was always in contact with us every step of the way. All the advice she gave us was spot-on. I don't know what we would have done if we did not use her. There are many agents out there but Shannon is exceptional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

I decided to move back to the Bay Area after living on the East Coast for three years. I was very concerned that the overheated real estate market in San Francisco would make it impossible for me to find a suitable home, or be able to submit a winning bid. Tight deadlines and conducting a search from 3000 miles away added complications and stress to the process.
I was referred to Shannon by a friend, and am I ever glad I went with her recommendation!
Before coming to SF to look at houses, Shannon spent time on the phone with me to get a clear understanding of the types of properties that would work for me. When I got to the City, she had 8 properties lined up for me to see, and one was a winner. Her knowledge of the San Francisco market resulted in a winning bid. The listing agent tried to pull some underhanded stunts, but Shannon kept her cool and coached me through those negotiations and into the contract. Because I had to conduct the transaction from afar, Shannon was my eyes and ears during inspections and walk-throughs - we FaceTimed during the walk-through so I could join in from afar. She even took delivery of my key and delivered it to my friend's house so it's waiting when I land in SF in a few days.
Shannon is professional, ethical, detail-oriented, cool under pressure, not to mention incredibly thoughtful and kind. She was a delight to work with and has earned not only my very highest recommendation but my sincere gratitude.
Shannon worked miracles to prepare my property for sale and successfully managed to quickly obtain bids and put me promptly into a contract. It felt like she held my hand throughout and took such great care of us during the process; I couldn't have asked for a more professional and compassionate realtor. I give her my strongest recommendation.

Shannon's attention to detail, knowledge of the market, and level of service are peerless. She took care of everything to sell our house at a price that surpassed even our most optimistic expectations. I would enthusiastically recommend her.

Although my husband and I are not first-time buyers, today's real estate market is tough to navigate. Shannon is very thorough, honest, always kept us updated throughout the process, and made the transaction very easy. She is a delight to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Recently, I was under extreme time constraints, to invest in income property (1031 exchange). Inflated values and low inventory, make buying very difficult. Shannon's market knowledge and negotiation style made this process painless. She got me into the perfect property match for my needs. She held my hand through every step and there's a lot.. Even went with me to the title company and explained numerous pages of legal stuff, to my satisfaction. Best of all, with her negotiation skills, I feel, I paid the exact amount to get the deal and not a dollar too much. Couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Shannon Cronan has a magical kindness crossed with a terrier-style tenacity. She made our home sell when other homes nearby were not selling. Because of Shannon's guidance and effort, our home sold for over asking and with multiple bids. It's big money, terrifying market but she kept everything cool and on track. Shannon is extraordinary. She's the Tesla of real estate agents- serene, ridiculously powerful, and just.

I am a widow and a senior and wanted to buy a house. This would be the first time I had ever done anything like this on my own. My husband always handled all the financial business in our marriage. I felt very unsure and confused about how to find a house that was good for me and that I would be comfortable with financially. I was so lucky to have Shannon Cronan as my realtor. She was calm, patient and listened to my needs and wants. She knew the real estate business and the areas of different houses and the places that I might like to buy. She did research on houses so I didn't waste my time looking at homes that would never be right for me. As a result the purchase of my house, which I love, was a wonderful experience. She made it all seem easy and comfortable, and even enjoyable. Most of all I would say I trusted her and as a single woman that is very important to me. I would highly recommend her as a realtor.
Holly K.
I hired Shannon Cronan to help me find a property in a short period of time and in a very tight market. She showed me several properties that met my specifications and I was in contract in two weeks! She handled all the aspects of the transaction with great attention to detail. If you are looking for a realtor who is professional and will get the job done, I highly recommend Shannon Cronan.

I was referred to Shannon by a friend and that was the best referral of my life! Shannon put me immediately at ease as we began the process to sell my home. She handled every detail and kept me informed every step of the way. She got me top dollar for my home and I could not be more pleased. Shannon is kind, patient but also a tough negotiator. I could not recommend her more highly.
Janet M.
I couldn't be more pleased about Shannon's services. At our first meeting, she gave me an outline of what steps would take place and gave me accurate estimates of the costs. Her coordination of hiring the various contractors was seamless and at a reasonable cost. She listened to my concerns and addressed them. Her guidance and excellent communication eliminated much of the stress of selling the home and resulted in a very good outcome. She was very pleasant to work with.

Shannon recently sold my parents' house for $100K more than the asking price. Better, she and her partner at Paragon Realty took care of every step of the process, starting with the painting, floor sanding, and staging through the open houses, the sale itself, and all the follow-up paperwork. Best, she sold the house while we were out of town and the house was technically inactive--she never stopped working.
I am grateful to her for successfully taking me through what could have been a very difficult situation in a very professional manner. I would recommend Shannon to everybody looking to sell a house in The City.
