“My first home buying experience was a bit of a nightmare caused by the seller. Shannon acted on my behalf going far above the norm by constantly being in contact with the sellers realtor and my lawyers into the wee hours to ensure I received compensation due to me and that the deal closed with me in the house I love. I don’t think this deal would have gone my way if it wasn’t for her constant support and persistence. I cannot recommend Shannon Deckers – RE/MAX Grey Bruce Realty Inc. enough!”

Best decision ever! They worked their best to get me the best deal on my home! I got a fantastic price on my home. Still living in my home today. Shannon, I have known both as a friend and as a professional, for 14 years now. She is definitely the hardest and most dedicated worker i have met.
She will go out of her way, that extra mile to guide you in finding the home you are looking to purchase.
Furthermore, she is honest! Shannon is very much a person who will do her best to get you what you want, at the same time, she cares!! Difficult to find that these days folks. She genuinely cares about you, your family, your needs and putting a smile on your face.”
