The interview

What surprised you most about working with Shannon?

I think what surprised us most about working with Shannon is how much she advocated for us the entire way. She was clearly team us through the entire process. At no point did we feel that she didn't have our back. She was extremely professional and has basically become the image in my mind of what a realtor should be because she advocated for us so strongly on every point.

Who are you and where do you live?

I am Reggie Hudson. And I'm Chrissy Hudson. And we live in East Point, Georgia, in Jefferson Park.

What services did Shannon provide for your family?

We purchased our first home with Shannon and more recently, my mom passed away and she helped us with selling that house as well.

Why did you choose Shannon over other realtors?

She was already part of the family. We had friends who had worked with colleagues of hers, and through this colleague we met Shannon. As we worked with Shannon and got to know her we basically fell in love with the way she worked with us and the way she took care of us.

How did your experience evolve during the home search?

We worked with her for well almost a year trying to find our first home and the longer we worked together the more in tune we were getting. She knew what to show us and she would point out exactly why we did not want to see a particular house.

How did she help you find your current home?

When we finally landed in this house, it was crazy the way she showed it to us. There is a huge open area with the kitchen and connecting living room. Reggie is the best cook I know and she knew that. She held off and showed us the kitchen last and said, 'okay, this is going to be his selling point.' We finally found it.

How did she handle the transition of selling your mother's home?

Before my mom passed, we met with Shannon because my mom wanted to sell the house. About a week later she actually got really sick and so we transitioned from selling her house with my mom still here to selling her house after she had passed. She was super supportive throughout the whole process.

What was the final outcome of your experience?

The outcome we were most pleased with was just how much she understood what we were looking for in a home and in a neighborhood. She nailed it; we fit right in with the rest of our neighbors. She stuck with us through close to 100 houses and was still super positive all those months later.

Frequently asked

How does Shannon handle long-term home searches?

Shannon remained positive and dedicated over a year-long search. According to Reggie and Christine Hudson, she toured nearly 100 houses with them until they found the perfect fit.

Is Elements Real Estate Atlanta supportive during difficult life transitions?

Yes, Christine Hudson noted that Shannon was 'super supportive' and 'hands-on' when their needs shifted from a standard sale to an estate sale following her mother's passing.

Does Shannon understand specific buyer needs like kitchen layout?

Shannon specifically tailored tours based on the couple's interests; she saved a kitchen reveal for last because she knew Reggie was an avid cook, which became the final selling point.

Crissy And Reggie Hudson (00:00) I think what surprised us most about working with Shannon is how much she advocated for us the entire way. She was clearly team us through the entire process. At no point did we feel that she didn't have our back. She had her back through the entire way She was extremely professional. Like she's basically become the image in my mind of what a realtor should be because she advocated for us so strongly on every point and explained to us through the entire process what was happening. I am Reggie Hudson. And I'm Chrissy Hudson. And ⁓ we live in East Point, Georgia. Jefferson Park. we purchased our first home with Shannon and more recently, my mom passed away and she helped us with selling that house as well. Well, what made us decide to work with Shannon over other realtors was that she was already part of the family. We had friends who had worked with colleagues of hers, and through this colleague we met Shannon and as we worked with Shannon and got to know her we basically fell in love with the way she worked with us and the way she took care of us. So it was pretty easy once we started working with her to keep working with her. My experience evolved as we worked with her. We worked with her for well almost a year trying to find our first song and the longer we worked together the more in tune we were getting and so she knew what to show us and And she would point out exactly why we did not want to see a particular house. When we finally landed in this house, was crazy the way she showed it to us. There is a huge open area with the kitchen and connecting living room. And Reggie is the best cook I know. And she knew that. And so she held off and showed us the kitchen last and said, okay, this is going to be his selling point. And I hadn't seen it yet either. Opened the doors and went, okay, yeah, thanks. We finally found it. So it was pretty amazing. before my mom passed, we actually met with Shannon because my mom wanted to sell the house. And it was about a week after meeting with Shannon. and she came to our home and my mom was here staying with us at the time and so we all had a meeting, talked about next steps and it was about a week later that she actually got really sick and so we transitioned from selling her house with my mom still here to selling her house after she had passed. So she was hands-on in the beginning, came to meet my mom, it was really great, But she was super supportive throughout the whole process beginning when it was going in one direction and then also afterwards. I couldn't thank her enough. One of the sweet things I remember from that whole process too was she said typically when she sells a house, she gives somebody a bottle of champagne. This time around she gave us Hydrangea to plant in the yard and remembered some of my mom, which was super sweet. I think that the outcome we were most pleased with, I will start with buying our current home. Just how much she understood what we were looking for in a home and in a neighborhood and in the community and how much. she nailed it like we fit right in. But just nailing how we fit in with the rest of our neighbors was. chef's kiss. our overall experience working with Shannon has been amazing. I would highly recommend her to anybody that I know that is looking to buy or sell a home. She stuck with us. We looked at, I want to say close to 100 houses, 100 houses. Yeah. There was that many. And she was still super positive all those months later. And we finally did it with her help. We never could have done this without her.
