A proud queer Realtor and Michigan transplant, I’ve called beautiful Portland home since 1998. I’ve since watched it grow from a quiet little city sandwiched between Seattle and San Francisco to its own distinctly cool enclave with walkable, accessible neighborhoods and a surge of amazing small businesses. 
 
While automotive design work drew me to Portland originally, I worked as a private Pilates instructor and dabbled as a sometimes dancer at Crush Bar (no regrets), and in 2007 I eventually found my way to the career I had wanted since childhood. I have spent the last 15+ years helping urbanites buy and sell in Portland’s inner core. I want you to love your home and I’ll never push you to make a purchase or sale you don’t feel good about. I am here to counsel and advise but, most importantly, I’m here to listen.
 

Sparked by walks with my aunt along Lake St. Clair and into some of Detroit’s most historic neighborhoods, I became enchanted with the styles of homes in the area. From Tudors to Arts and Crafts and everything in between, these architectural styles inspired my lifelong love of old homes. After moving west, my career in automotive design furthered an appreciation of architecture and modern, clean lines.

I aim to be a trusted resource long after closing, for not just real estate questions, but anything I can do to help make you feel more at home in this city that I love. I’m here for it – whether you’re looking for restaurant recommendations (I’m a big Portland foodie), looking to get out and explore the city on your bike, or a new favorite wine bar, you’re in very good hands. My love for biking and walking around town helps me discover Portland’s hidden treasures and I’m always amazed by the unique spots I find when on foot or two wheels.

I love a good jumpsuit (you may run into me at Wildfang), hiking with my rescue dogs, Murray and Penny, and working hard to make real estate easy for my clients. Whether you’re new to town or a long-time resident, I’ll help you find your perfect Portland oasis!

I've worked with Shannon now on two home purchases and one home sale over the course of the past 10 ish years. She is AMAZING! Super knowledgeable, responsive, and fun. She makes a really stressful and emotional process feel very approachable and really takes the time to get to know you as a client and makes sure you are totally comfortable throughout the process. I can't recommend her enough!

I couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Shannon Sansoterra. From our first meet up, Shannon sought to understand what I wanted in a new home and help me find just the right match. Responsive, flexible, encouraging, a great communicator, and she made it fun every step of the way! I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Shannon and now be living in my dream home here in Portland. Thank you, Shannon!

Shannon was so incredible in helping us buy our new house! She proactively reached out to us when a former offer didn't go through and helped work with us while we were overseas to close the deal - which was not easy! She went above and beyond to make sure our travel didn't get in the way of our dream house and even helped make sure we were credited for things even while we were rushing to make the deal. Can't recommend Shannon enough!

We loved working with Shannon to buy our first home. She helped us navigate a tricky market and showed a lot of patience as we searched and waited for our new home to come on the market. She gave her honest opinion and was a great soundboard for our different (sometimes wild) ideas. We never felt pressured, and always felt informed. Through the search, the offer, the inspection, the negotiation, and the closing she went above and beyond and I'm glad she was in our corner. When we need to sell our home or buy another, we plan to work with her again. Thanks Shannon!

Shannon and her team were fantastic and helped us through every step of buying our home. Right away Shannon made us feel at ease and we felt like we were in good hands. Shannon answered our myriad of questions, (we had so many questions as first time buyers) was patient and informative every step of the way. Aside from being professional, knowledgeable and helpful, Shannon is also very fun and made this such a pleasant experience for us. I would definitely recommend Shannon for anyone looking ti buy a home.
