With all the diversity she has enjoyed in her real estate career, Shawna took it to the next level and opened her own real estate company, Poppy Realty, in 2016. Her passion for real estate and how to provide amazing customer service on all levels, not only benefits her clients but now her agents as well.

Shawna has been very actively involved in her local and state Realtor associations and was on the Board of Directors for both, for over 5 years. In 2008, she was the proud recipient of her association's Realtor of the Year award.

Shawna earned her bachelor's degree in political science with an emphasis on pre-law. Some of her designations include GRI (Graduate, Realtor Institute), SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist), AHWD (At Home with Diversity), CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) and e-PRO (Real Estate Internet Professional).

Born in Palo Alto, California, Shawna has been a Bay Area native and resident for more than 40 years. She serves clients throughout Alameda, Contra Costa and Santa Clara Counties, focusing on residential real estate and specializes in foreclosures, short sales and multi-family homes. Since 2008, she has sold more than 300 properties - over $50 million in sales volume.

In her spare time, Shawna enjoys getting outside into nature, photography, digital crafting and gardening. She has an amazing daughter and just loves being a mom. She's also involved with Go Red for Women – Heart Disease Awareness, One Warm Coat and Lustgarten’s pancreatic cancer research.

"I'm passionate about my clients," Shawna says. "They are truly the most important thing in this business for me. It's exciting to see my clients days, months, even years later and hear them say they're so happy with their home."
