Amazing Success Stories
“Shannon was an amazing real estate agent for us. We purchased a home in the Bressi Ranch neighborhood of Carlsbad, and the home-buying experience was unparalleled. He turned what we thought would be a stressful experience into a truly pleasant and seamless journey. From the beginning, he walked us through every step and provided detailed updates during our buying process. Shannon was always just a call or message away, responding quickly to our questions or concerns, no matter how small. Even before our home purchase, he helped us secure a rental in Carlsbad when we relocated from the Bay Area at the end of 2024. After our Bressi Ranch house closed, Shannon was a valuable resource for contractors that we needed for minor remodeling. He truly was a full-service realtor for us. We can’t thank Shannon enough for this hard work and commitment, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent who is not only incredibly skilled and experienced, but also an absolute joy to work with.”
“Shannon is the definition of a true professional. On a couple different occasions, Shannon proactively identified property issues and rectified them before they could become a problem. Working with him on a successful closing was a stress-free and collaborative affair. No transaction is seamless, but when people can work together, anything can be accomplished. 5 stars. I would jump at the chance to do another transaction with him.”
“We had the great privilege of working with Shannon Elias on both the purchase and sale of a home recently, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. The purchase was particularly challenging, involving complex negotiations with the HOA, the city, and the property owner’s Power of Attorney. Shannon navigated these hurdles with expertise and dedication, streamlining what could have been an overwhelming process. Very few agents in San Diego would have the capacity to handle a home purchase with so many complexities and helped save this homeowner from foreclosure. Following our renovation of the home, Shannon once again demonstrated his commitment by ensuring seamless communication among all parties as we prepared the home for sale . His attention to detail, proactive approach, market knowledge and willingness to go above and beyond truly set him apart. Shannon is a hardworking, dependable professional who is eager to tackle any challenge to support his clients in achieving their goals. Whether buying or selling, you can trust Shannon to deliver exceptional results. We wholeheartedly recommend him for your next real estate transaction.”
“I just want to thank Shannon Elias for helping us from the beginning and always reaching out to make sure we were okay. He made the process of selling as simple as possible. If you’re in the market for buying or selling, Shannon truly is the best, you won’t regret working with him.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Shannon Elias on many occasions in the course of Escrow transactions representing both sellers and buyers. I know Shannon to work ethically and responsibly in the representation of his clients, he is a savvy problem solver, engaged in every transaction and is a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Shannon Elias as a well-respected Real Estate Agent in our community of San Diego. He is fantastic!”
“Working with real estate agent, Shannon Elias, positively shaped my home-buying experience, as he helped my family and me purchase our dream home in Winchester, CA utilizing a VA home loan. My home-buying journey with Shannon started in 2024, although our paths first crossed in 2022 at a home showing. He made a good first impression; however, purchasing a home was not within my means then. Shannon's commitment to his career is evident, which is reflected by his extensive knowledge and field expertise. He takes the time to understand his clients, ensuring he knows precisely what type of home they want. His educational approach and guidance were clear throughout the process. He provided the required documents for my review well in advance of our initial meeting and meticulously went over any details I did not comprehend before signing. He maintained open communication, was always available to answer my questions, responded quickly, sought out answers diligently (when necessary), consistently followed up, demonstrated exemplary professionalism, and conducted himself ethically. The process of buying a home can be intimidating and stressful, especially when it's unfamiliar territory. Being represented by Shannon brought me peace of mind, as he provided excellent support throughout the process. His dedication, compassion, and patience towards his clients are evident; he treats us like family. He enjoys capturing moments throughout the home-buying process by incorporating thoughtful details, allowing us to fully focus on enjoying the experience. His attention to detail ensures that every step is memorable and significant. His personal touch clearly sets him apart from other agents. Our agent-client relationship did not end at closing. He has continued to support us even after the purchase and is reliable to turn to if we need any assistance with our home. It's obvious he loves his work and takes pride in it. He played a crucial role in making our home-buying journey a positive one. I am confident in recommending Shannon Elias to friends, family, and acquaintances. Having Shannon as my real estate agent was a privilege. I am genuinely grateful to Shannon, as my family and I can now begin to enjoy our new home. Thank you Shannon! -Elvia & Family :)”
“Shannon is the utmost professional. We had a long list of requirements for our first home, and Shannon was able to lead us through the rough real estate market. He provided his expertise and guidance that helped us avoid potential pitfalls. His honest feedback was essential in getting us to realize the current state of the real estate market and how to structure offers accordingly. I highly recommend him as a real estate agent.”
“Shannon was a true professional. Hope to do more business with him in the near future.”
“Shannon is hands-down one of the best realtors I have worked with! As a lender, I have the opportunity to work with a lot of realtors. From our first communication, I could tell Shannon was extremely knowledgeable about the market, organized and efficient with his communications, and PERSISTENT! We are in a very challenging market for buyers and Shannon went above and beyond to give our buyers the best opportunity to land their dream home. His offers were always cleanly crafted, his communication to the listing agents, buyers, and myself, always thorough. In the end, he founds the buyers exactly what they were looking for, and negotiated a massive price reduction before close! I had to do a double-take to make sure I read it correctly! This is definitely a guy you want on your side as a buyer or a seller!”
“Over the past eighteen months, Shannon Elias with Compass Realty has handled the marketing of my rental property, as well as, the sale of a patio home in the Village Park area of Encinitas. Shannon has proven to be extremely knowledgeable about both the rental and homes sales market(s) in the Encinitas area as well as the general coastal San Diego areas. He has provided valuable staging advise and realistic guidance on setting pricing. He was great in keeping us apprised of the status of the marketing of the property. We would use Shannon again to market one of our rental properties or if we were buying or selling real estate in Coastal San Diego and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy, rent or sell a property.”
