FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Be sure to find ask your realtor about who they use as a lender. Get prequalified before you start searching for a home so you know exactly what you can afford.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Don't over think the process and let the feeling of being overwhelmed keep you from selling your home. We have a full service system that covers staging, photography and marketing included when we list your home.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
We had a client looking for a large property for their horses but the home needed a specific type of internet service as one of the clients worked from home. We spend about 6 weeks looking in every corner of the Dallas area metroplex and surrounding areas. Found many great homes but not enough internet service. I remember we did our best to keep the clients motivated and staying positive through the process. We were finally able to find them the right property, save them 30K on the list price and get the transaction completed in less than 30 days. these clients were so happy that we stuck through the hard time of searching and we didn't give up until we found them exactly what they needed.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I had previous experience in the Mortgage industry before my time in the military. I have always enjoyed sales and helping people. Real Estate gave me the flexibility to help people and also have more time with my family and children.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
CRLS - Certified Residential Listing Specialist. I also attend weekly training with my brokerage on all different types of topics related to real estate. As a military veteran I pride myself on honesty and attention to detail.

John and Jennifer helped us throughout the process to ensure it went smoothly. They were amazing to work with and couldnt have had a better experience with them! There are many companies, people involved in the buying experience and everyone they have to help with the process were thorough, quick and reliable. We found a home and closed within 4 weeks!

They were wonderful. They went above and beyond to help us relocate and help us through a tumultuous ordeal selling our old house. We would recommend them in a heartbeat. They even went so far as to bring us house warming gifts for my husband and I. And an additional gift basket just for our daughter. They were kind, attentive, and definitely the best team we've ever worked with in the realty business.

It was a pleasure working with John and Jennifer Shelby. They really understood our needs and went the extra mile to get us in the right home. We had to see many homes before we found the one that had everything we needed. They were always very professional and upbeat and always on time. I will definitely recommend them to anyone.

Team Shelby delivered service with uncommon professionalism and keen insight. My wife and I had considered selling our home to an investor / home buyer company just to avoid the aEURoehassleaEUR? of listing our home. Luckily, John and Jen took the time to talk with us after they did a walk-through of our house and provided us with insight, market analysis, and recommendations for repairs, just to give us an idea of listing process. Thankfully, we decided to list with eXp Realty/Team Shelby, and we got over $40,000 more than we would have if we had sold to an investor. Incredibly, we had 7 offers within the first 72 hours of listing the home, thanks to Johns masterful use of social media and online marketing, as well as Jens creative eye for staging and styling spaces. Our home was only on the market 4 days, and the process was silky smooth. In fact, it was actually enjoyable! Together, John and Jen Shelby are a tour de force in real estate.
