Shawna Friend, REALTOR®

About Me

My career in Real Estate began in the fall of 2019, and my passion for what I do grows with each and every transaction. It isn’t about the work I do, but the connections and friendships I get to make along the way. Whether it’s a first time home purchase or relocating across the country, being part of someone’s “story” gives me the enthusiasm and a desire to make each transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Originally from Southern California our family relocated to Janesville, Wisconsin during the summer of 2009. Then in January of 2013 we relocated again to the Fox Cities where we became deeply connected to its beautiful, loving community and now call it our hometown. These major relocations have helped me to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of how complex the relocation process may become.

Prior to Real Estate, I have over 25 years in customer service at various levels. Most of my previous career was in Event Coordinating and Project Management for conferences and conventions nationally. Through relationships made during my years of coordinating and managing events, I connected with an architect and contracted as his personal concierge and office administrative coordinator for over 5 years. My previous experiences help me cater to a client’s needs, while providing a premium level of service.

Not only do I love what I do, I proudly became affiliated with Homes for Heroes®. This national program provides me the opportunity to give back to our community heroes through my work as a Realtor. Whenever a hero buys or sells a home with me, they will receive a Cash Reward Check after closing on their transaction. Qualifying heroes include Firefighters, EMS, Law Enforcement, Military (Active, Reserve & Veterans), Healthcare Professionals, Teachers, and all of their supportive personnel. For additional information on the program, please visit Fox Cities Hero Rewards.

When I’m not helping others with their real estate needs, I enjoy traveling with my husband and three children, spending time with my three dogs, cooking/baking and gardening. You will often find us out and about reinforcing all the reasons we have chosen to call the Fox Cities our hometown.
