As Shawn’s personal assistant, Annie helps with all of the legwork in keeping things running smoothly. She is involved at the beginning of the listing process with responsibility for preparing the Comparable Market Analyses and the initial listing set up. She researches comparable listings which Shawn will use in identifying your asking price range
Annie has a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Management and Communication from Concordia University with a background in leadership. Annie also:

Once you have a signed purchase agreement, responsibility within the office for closing on your home shifts to Debbie. She oversees all details from when the offer is accepted through closing, coordinating the parties involved and serving as a go-between for the buyer and seller. Much of Debbie’s job is behind-the-scenes to keep things running smoothly.
Debbie has worked in the real estate industry in Rochester since 1976. That entire time she was with Shawn's company that ultimately (following buyouts and name changes) is now known as Coldwell Banker Burnet. Debbie was Coldwell Bankers office administrator in charge of the day to day operations of the entire Coldwell Banker Burnet office. She left the corporate office in 2002 and went to work solely for Shawn and has been an invaluable asset to his team ever since. She also:

• gets copies of the signed purchase agreement to all relevant parties including title company, lenders, seller, and the other agent
• follows up on items needing to be done before the sale can close
• submits copies of receipts for completed repairs/upgrades to all parties
• maintains contact with buyer’s lender to verify that closing will proceed
• coordinates with title company

Megan attended the University of Minnesota and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. She entered the Real Estate industry in 2000 as Shawn’s marketing and listing coordinator, providing her with extensive experience working with sellers and an overall knowledge of the field. She currently puts this experience to work as a licensed Realtor for both buyers and sellers.

Her true passion within the Real Estate field is new construction. Together with her husband, Braden, they own Markham Homes LLC, a company with a true focus on quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. Building both model and pre-sold homes, Megan takes care of the creative aspects and works with the home-buyer throughout the entire building process to ensure a smooth, stress-free, and positive experience. She provides the highest level of customer service through prompt and efficient communication, allowing for a well-informed building process with no surprises. With a love for design, Megan thoroughly enjoys guiding clients with the important details and selections from changes on the blueprint to the perfect paint colors. She works hard to ensure that the home-buyer's vision of a dream home becomes a reality.
