Qualifications

Shawn is a seasoned real estate appraiser with experience in eminent domain for both government agencies and property owners. She is detail
oriented, but without losing sight of the big picture. She understands courtroom dynamics and is able to relate well to jurors. At a trial in Pasco County, her thoroughness and ability to distill complicated appraisal concepts to the jury was the reason our client was able to receive such a great result.
