Shawn Koppenhaver REALTOR

Experienced & Easy Going; I Promise to Make Buying or Selling Real Estate Fun and Profitable for You!

Who Am I?

My name is Shawn Koppenhaver, and I am here to help.  

Whether you are looking to buy your first home, sell your last home, or anything in between, I’m your guy! 

What Brought Me to Real Estate?

Growing up, I didn’t know what I wanted to do for a career, but I did know at a young age that I liked to be helpful.  I liked to be productive and I liked things in order.  So much of the real estate business is what I like to refer to as “organizing chaos,” taking a giant puzzle and putting things together towards an end goal.  I found a career that embraced these personal strengths and that’s what brought me to Krall Real Estate in 2005.  I won “Rookie Of The Year” my first year and I haven’t looked back since.

Why Choose Me as Your Realtor?

Some consider Realtors to be salespeople, but I don’t sell houses.  Houses sell themselves.  What I offer is a service.  And like any service (a carpenter, lawyer, barber, etc.) those practicing it are not all created equal.  The same can be said for real estate agents.  Some buy their leads, and some earn them.  I will do my best to earn your trust and loyalty.  My goal is to leave you happy and eager to tell your social sphere about the great experience you had buying or selling with me.

Have you heard the phrase “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime”?  It’s sort of the same philosophy by which I practice real estate sales.  I could sell a house and do the bare minimum and get that 1 paycheck but never hear from that client again OR I can give excellent service and create a bond with that 1 client who will not only use me again but will also refer me to their friends, family and co-workers.  That is what I strive for in every transaction.  I don’t pay 3^rd parties for leads and I don’t spend a lot of money on advertising looking for folks to choose me.  I value my repeat clients and their referrals.  This truly has kept me doing what I love for all these years.

I will never shy away from giving you feedback and tactful advice. 

I will never pressure you.  Some people buy the first house they see but most do not.  And some look for 10 years and don’t buy anything.  I may offer advice, but I will never push a property on you or get frustrated or angry with you.

I will be your FULL-TIME real estate advocate, negotiator, paperwork handler, advisor, counselor, and friend in the trenches.

If you choose me as your agent, you can expect honest and timely communication, a commitment to excellent service, speedy completion of tasks, near round-the-clock availability, over 17 years of experience, a background in sales & advertising, a degree in marketing, and a fun yet educational & productive experience. 

Is The Process Easy?

Being a real estate agent is certainly not how it seems on cable TV.  My day usually does not consist of showing 3 houses, meeting at a coffee shop to discuss an offer, then magically skipping over all the hard parts, and getting to happy homebuyer at settlement.  There are many unseen tasks and hurdles to overcome to get to the settlement table and put those keys in your hands, but I try to make each transaction as smooth as possible.  Like a duck on a pond, I try to make it tranquil to the naked eye, all while kicking my legs underwater to keep everything afloat.  My goal is always to produce results for you and to make your life easier.  From scheduling showings, to writing offers, to negotiating through inspection & appraisal results, to getting everyone to settlement, and everything in between, I will be your personal real estate coach and liaison. 

Do You Owe Anything If I Don’t Produce Results?

Not a cent.  I only get paid when your property is sold and settled OR you receive the keys to your new home.

How To Get Started?

Contact me however you’d like.  Phone, email, social media direct message, or text. 

If you are a buyer, my first recommendation is to get you prequalified.  Don’t have someone in mind or where to go or who to contact?  I can help with that, too.  After that, let’s find out what type of home you are looking for, what area, and price range.  I can then begin sending you homes via email and when you see something you like, I’ll set up a showing and we’ll go look at it in person.

If you are a seller, let’s schedule an appointment for me to see your property so I can give you a free opinion of value.  It just takes a 20-minute appointment at your home.  Afterward, I will send you a CMA report with my findings so you can decide how you’d like to move forward.

If you are a buyer AND seller, let’s start with a meeting at your home.
