Shannon V. Malone, Realtor with United Real Estate Lexington

"When you love what you do you never work a day in your life."

Change is the only constant in this business and in order to do the best for my client and customers I need to stay on my toes. I work very hard to keep up with what is going on in my community and local market. I stay involved.

I love my job for so many reasons. Being a Realtor has allowed me to do the things I have always wanted to do and some things I never dreamed of....

The most important people in my life are my family and friends - and they can also be my biggest referrals. If one of my friends knows of someone selling a house or looking to buy they will always recommend me. Whenever one of my friends is ready to sell their home and move into a new one, I am the first person they call.

Real Estate is a relationship business and I love the relationships I build with my clients and customers. Going through the home buying or selling process will form strong bonds. I feel such warmth and affection for all my Sellers and Buyers. I love keeping up with them through the years.

Working as a Realtor allows me to constantly learn new things. When I make mistakes, I hope I learn from them and how to do differently next time. Every time I meet new people, or sell a house, I grow from it. I cannot even begin to list all the ways I have benefited from working with such a wide range of people and personality types, from all over the US and internationally with varied backgrounds. I learn something from everyone of my clients and customers.

I absolutely love meeting and talking to new people. This is a huge bonus for me! Since buying a house isn't an every day occurrence, I don't work with the same people all the time. I am constantly building new relationships.
