A Louisiana native, Shannon McLeod takes pride in her Cajun roots. The southern charm, creole cooking, and soulful music have left their mark on her love of great houses. Graduating from Loyola University New Orleans, with a degree in drama, Shannon always knew it would come in handy. "If I didn't know how to do something, I could just act like I did." After studying some financial planning, she combined her dramatic flair with her natural interest in real estate. She knows that some people have bad experiences with real estate agents, and she dislikes being categorized as a "desperate" person. Shannon loves what she does and believes that everyone should own their own home. Shannon's personal sales philosophy: "I can only sell something if I love it."
