Hi, I’m Shannon Banks! I’ve been a proud resident of Paulding County for over 20 years, where I’ve raised my four amazing kids, aged 32, 30, 21, and 14, alongside my husband of 14 years. Now, with our one precious grandson and four lovable dogs, life is always busy and full of love.
After years of dedicating myself to my family, I finally fulfilled my lifelong dream of becoming a Realtor in 2023. I waited until my babies were grown to pursue this passion, and I haven’t looked back since. Real estate has always been in my heart, and it’s my mission to help others achieve their dreams—whether they’re buying or selling their home.
To me, my clients aren’t just clients; they’re family and friends. I’m here to walk beside them every step of the way, offering loyalty, transparency, and dedication. I believe in building lasting relationships, and I’m committed to making sure every buyer and seller feels seen, heard, and supported.
