Meet Shawna Friend

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 relationships I make during the process. 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. 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 long distant 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 more than 25 years of customer service experience in various areas. Most of my prior experience was spent in Event Coordinating and Project Management for corporate events, conventions and conferences nationwide. I then spent over 5 years working as a personal assistant and office administrative coordinator for a residential architect. My prior experience has helped me cater to any client’s needs, while providing a premium level of service.

Not only do I love being a Realtor®, I am proudly 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 FoxCitiesHeroes.com.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my husband Jacob, our three children and three dogs. You will often see us out and about enjoying all of the reasons we have chosen to call the Fox Cities our home town.
