Shannon Atkins Agent

Shannon has proudly called Delaware County home since 1985, witnessing its transformation from a tranquil farming community into the vibrant suburbia it is today. A Buckeye Valley graduate of 1996, Shannon's journey has been deeply intertwined with the growth of this area.

Alongside her husband Mark, who owns a successful construction company, they've embarked on numerous real estate ventures. From purchasing bank-owned properties and flipping homes to building from the ground up and intricate remodels, their hands-on experiences have shaped her passion for real estate investments, property rentals, and budget-friendly design. Their early days even saw me mastering the art of furniture refinishing.

Recently, Shannon Atkins managed the closure of three separate estates, collaborating with the Veterans Administration, Medicare, Medicaid, Hospice, Home Health, banks, probate courts, estate lawyers, family members, and funeral homes. This challenging experience further honed her skills in navigating complex processes with compassion and efficiency.

As her youngest son turned eighteen and they wrapped up the last estate, Shannon found herself pondering, “What's next?" Given her extensive background, real estate emerged as the perfect fit.

Shannon Atkins understands the stress and emotional investment involved in buying or selling a home—often the largest financial commitment people make. With experience in contracts, inspections, repairs, and negotiations, she offers valuable advice, assurance, and support throughout every step of the process. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, dream home, income property, retirement condo, or settling an estate, Shannon is here to serve all your real estate needs with dedication and expertise.
