Client Testimonials
“If you’re looking for a Realtor in the Helena area, look no farther than Shawna Korth. How did we meet Shawna? My wife and I were being job relocated to Montana from Florida. We are also a military veteran family and wanted to use our VA loan benefits. We did our due diligence and spent hours searching online agent reviews. Shawna fit the bill. She is not only a Homes for Heroes and VA loan specialist, but also highly recommended relocation specialist. Our first contact with Shawna she took the time to listen to and understand our wants and needs. Shawna did not waste our time. She got right to work and selected a few properties that fit the bill and scheduled showings immediately.
Not being in Montana, Shawna conducted property walkthroughs for us and needless to say, we put in an offer in the first few days on what has become our dream mountain home. Shawna negotiated us a fantastic deal and then took over the entire process to closing. She took away the typical worry and headaches that come with home buying from a far.
Shawna put the process on cruise control for us. Simply Amazing. We got a detail-oriented hands-on agent that provided a stress-free transaction from beginning to end. Shawna communicated every aspect of the purchase, answered all our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. It couldn’t have been any easier.
Here is what you’re not getting with Shawna. You’re not getting a part-timer that has another job. You’re not getting a start-up inexperienced real estate agent. You’re not getting a realtor at the back end of their career. What you are getting is a highly experienced local area realtor in the prime of her profession that lives and breathes real estate.
Not to mention that Shawna is high-tech. With her skills of email, text, skype, facetime, and electronic document signings etc... we could have been in China and she would have effortlessly got us to the closing table. We are not ones who typically write reviews. But in this case we felt compelled to acknowledge the exceptionable competency and professionalism of the service Shawna provided us. There is no doubt we were in good hands from start to finish. If you’re like us and just want results then Shawna is for you. Don’t waste your time shopping real estate agents in this area. Shawna is a full-service real estate agent that knows this area and market better than most. If you need to interview a few real estate agents then do so, but do include Shawna. Shawna easily get 5 Stars from us and rate her best in this area. As a matter of fact, we rate her the best we ever had. Give her a call. You won’t be disappointed.” -David H.
“If you’re looking for a great realtor, look no further than Shawna Korth. I’ve had many realtors but none compare to her. We’re a undecisive couple but Shawna was patient and kind with every showing we made her find us. When we finally found our forever home, she walked us through the process, which at times was very long and frustrating. She was attentive, kind, reassuring, always professional, yet also a lot of fun. By the end of it, we couldn’t be more thankful to have her by our side and felt we’d made a friend for life. You just can’t go wrong with Shawna.” -Claudine S.
“Shawna was amazing. She took the time to know what I was looking for and helped me find my dream home very quickly. She is amazing with communication and follow-through and I never had to question if she had my back or not (she ALWAYS did). I would work with her anytime!” -Christine S.
“My wife and I are so thankful to Shawna for her support in getting us into our first home! Shawna was quick to communicate and schedule showings to us, provided us with valuable insight on what to look for, and helped us navigate the offer and closing processes. She is incredibly knowledgable and personable without being pushy. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for a home in Helena!” -Andrew M.
