What clients say about this agent....
The Taranto group is hands down the best! From start to finish their attention to detail, love for their clients, and professionalism, is above and beyond what most people offer these days in the real estate business. Charlie Candy and Shawn each bring their unique giftings to the table. Charlie the master negotiator with his attention to detail, Candy the discerning spirit and amazingly talented home stager, and Shawn the steady and consistent helpful hand, friend, and organizer of all things. This family has strong ethics and values and offers an incredible full service experience leaving nothing to chance but covering all bases in research work ethic and true care. We have bought and sold with them twice and would absolutely without question use them again and again. My husband and I LOVE the Tarantos!!!
Shawn was amazing! He exceeded all of our expectations. He communicated continuously with clear information and requests. We could not have been happier. I would highly recommend he and his team.
Shawn was the realtor we had been looking for but failing to find for months to show us the kinds of properties we wanted to see. He is extremely hard working and always available with the answers we needed to make the correct decision. We cannot thank him enough for helping us through the buying process!
My wife and I appreciated Shawn's thoroughness and professionalism. Through our 41 years of marriage we've sold and purchased several homes and have used many different real estate agency. Shawn was one of the best and we highly recommend him and his agency.
It was our good fortune to recently purchase a home with the help of Shawn Taranto. Throughout the process of finding and buying our new home, Shawn's help was essential, professional and exceptional. We currently live out of state and were only able to search for homes during a few, periodic visits to the Coeur d'Alene area. With such constraints, searching for the right house could have been very frustrating. Shawn responded to that challenge and helped us focus our search effectively so that we found a great house despite the challenges resulting from our time/distance constraints. Shawn accomplished the task of effectively enabling our semi-remote search/purchase of a home by: 1. spending the time to understand what we were really looking for in a house. This enabled a very effective pre-filtering of the MLS listings that he streamed to us. 2. being willing to show prospective homes remotely over FaceTime. 3. spending time familiarizing us with the various localities in the region that allowed us to focus the limited time that we had available to drive around the area. 4. responding promptly and thoroughly to all of our questions. The timely and professional answers and conversations were essential to making progress in all aspects of our home search and purchase. 5. bringing in others with expertise in home construction/repair, mortgage financing and related areas that enabled us to reach confident conclusions regarding the various homes/financing we considered. 6. extending himself to help with the logistics of our remote search/purchase that could have otherwise proved very time-prohibitive/costly as the result of more airline flights and/or long drives 7. being positive, supportive and enthusiastic through the process. His positive attitude made all the difference! The bottom line is that throughout the entire process of finding/buying a home, Shawn thoroughly earned out trust. He worked hard and always fulfilled his commitments/promises completely. We knew we could depend upon Shawn. Given the potential uncertainty involved with buying a home, especially semi-remotely, we knew that with Shawn's help we could reach clarity at various decision points in the process. Such confidence in Shawn proved essential when making important decisions, especially given all the ambiguities with finding the right home at the right price. We also learned that we could trust the various experts he referred us to at key points, as we knew he wouldn't refer us to anyone that he did not himself trust. We are greatly appreciative of all of Shawn's truly effective help during our home purchase. Without his help, we have no doubt that our home search/purchase would have been a much more difficult, stressful endeavor. Thanks, Shawn!
I am very fortunate to have made Shawn Taranto?s acquaintance during my Idaho property search. Being from out of state, I had a lengthy list of properties throughout the panhandle that I was hoping to check out within a limited time frame. I provided Shawn with my list two days prior to arriving and Shawn promptly turned around a schedule over 3 days that included a tour of each house with supporting MLS details. Shawn is a low pressure, down to earth, and thoughtful host and quite gracious with his time. Shawn (seemingly) dropped any plans he may have had to spend 3 days taking me around the panhandle to tour a range of properties. As you might expect with Shawn?s professionalism and industry experience, he has a rolodex full of quality resources that he can call on for support on short notice. Shawn brought tremendous value to my real estate experience, I can?t recommend Shawn highly enough!

It has been a pleasure working with Shawn. We would highly recommend him and his team . We appreciate him going out of his way to accommodate our needs . Steve and Marisa
What an absolute perfectly orchestrated and incredible blessing to meet Shawn and his family (The TarantoGroup). On a whim, my wife and I attended an open house they were showing, met Shawn and later his dad, ate some wonderful, homemade brownies from his mom, got pre-approved on site, and completed our offer in our truck in the driveway! Shawn prayed with and for us... Such a treasure! We did not get that home, but Shawn has been incredibly available, personal yet still professional, and hard working as we continued to search for and purchase our bare land. This purchase process was down to the wire and Shawn really dug in and helped to shepherd us through this stressful time and guide our deal across the finish line! Humble and so kind. Fun, funny, and professional but never pushy. Friends! You will be WELL cared-for and can feel relaxed when you have OUR Realtors at the TarantoGroup Realty working with you.
Shawn has been a God send for us! The process of finding just the right house has taken years and Shawn has been with us every step of the way. He really listened and communicated well and was always keeping us in the loop on new listings. When we finally found the perfect house there were unforeseen hurdles to jump and he really went the extra mile to help us through the whole process and to finally cross the finish line. We have worked with MANY agents through the years and Shawn is definitely in the top 1%. I highly recommend him!
