Find the perfect Kettering real estate agent

Having grown up in the Dayton area I’ve lived here my entire life. I graduated from Wright State University with a Masters of Business Administration degree. During school I worked for myself cutting grass and landscaping so a move to real estate was kind of natural in the sense that the real estate field allows you to “cut your own path” so to speak. So, in 1993 I studied, took my test and received my license. Things have gone well since then. So well, in fact, that I was named as an Associate Partner in 2004. Most of my family lives in the Dayton area so I think I’ll stay around for a while. Outside of real estate my biggest interest has to be automotive. I really enjoy tinkering on my big block “71” Camaro and “86” Corvette Pace Car.

I have been in the real estate industry for over 14 years, since graduating from the University of Colorado with a BS in Finance. My early career years were spent as a loan officer helping clients with the financing of their home. My occasional opportunity to help clients select the best home for them was personally very rewarding and resulted in a career change for me as a licensed real estate agent. I enjoy assisting clients to buy and sell their homes in the Dayton area.

With 5 years experience in the marketing industry and many years as a military spouse, my career has transformed into serving my community in any way that I can. I specialize in helping buyers, sellers, and specifically those who may be relocating from out of state. My dedication to my clients, and attention to detail sets me apart from the rest. I truly dig deep, to help find the best home for you and your family! Contact me today, to start your journey to homeownership!

I have been passionate about real estate for as long as I can remember. So many of the stories we tell are about the idea of "home." But, as is the case for so many, I did not just grow up and become a Realtor. I actually had several careers before landing in this field, but that experience definitely helps with the many hats I wear with this career. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in English Literature with a plan of going to law school. Instead, I spent 15 working as a Litigation Paralegal where my duties spanned from interviewing accused criminals (in jail), to preparing and serving paperwork, to finally writing motions and managing complex commercial litigation files with paperwork that took up entire rooms and clients who were often worried about the outcome of their lives and livelihoods. I left that world to try my hat as an entrepreneur and I owned a popular and successful boutique for almost 10 years. In that span of time, I also was asked to be the marketing and public relations/media manager for a professional soccer team. Why do I mention all of this past experience? Because being a Realtor is not just about opening doors for people and looking at homes. It requires strong communication skills (speaking, writing and listening), patience and understanding working with people who are in emotionally charged situations and who don't always see eye-to-eye. It takes solid organization and management skills as well as an understanding of the contracts and forms and timelines to keep transactions together. It also takes the ability to advocate for clients and negotiate even in the most challenging and uncomfortable of situations. It also requires strong knowledge and "tech-savviness" in creative marketing and social media. It requires patience and the ability to think outside the box to come up with creative solutions when problems arise. These are all skills I learned and perfected in my various careers before becoming an agent. Becoming an agent is the best decision I have ever made. Since 2015, I have sold over 100 homes and rank within the top 5% of agents in the Dayton/Miami Valley market and across the country. I love working with clients through the entire process from the fun part (looking at homes!) to the more challenging parts. For buyers, that means helping them learn the process from start to finish (even if it is their first time), helping them get financing (sometimes involving credit repair or alternative loan solutions), and writing competitive offers to get the home of their dreams (even in a sellers' market). For sellers, that means coming up with a solid plan on how to get a home sale-ready within a specified timeline and advising them how to get the best price and with the terms that work best for them. It means coming up with a customized marketing plan and campaigns that find the most-likely buyers. For both, it means dealing with inspections and repairs, appraisals and deadlines. Sometimes everything goes smoothly, but even when things get challenging, I have the ability to think on my feet and problem solve. My clients repeatedly compliment me on my creative thinking, dedication, negotiation skills, compassion, professionalism, flexibility, responsiveness, sense of humor and clear communication skills. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I would love to help you with your real estate goals. Looking for additional resources? Check out my website at theWestheimerGroup.com.

"He was great and very helpful "

Neighborhood expert and top agent in the South Dayton market for almost twenty years, I have listed and sold over 1000 homes to people you probably know! An agent since early 2003, I have consistently been in the top 10% of the sales leaders due to my dedication to doing the right thing for my clients, and their referrals after the sale! I grew up in the West Carrollton area, lived in the Miamisburg area for 20 years, and now reside in Washington Twp. In 2019, I opened the Centerville office of Glasshouse Realty Group, on Main Street, in the historic Stonehouse right up the street from Bills Doughnuts! The Goris May Group is focused on helping families just like yours, not only find the best home, for the best price, but our goal is to excel in providing excellent service..... even after the sale. Every home has a story. Let us help you write your next chapter!

Visit Dakotasells.com Buying or selling a home is a monumentally important transaction, so it makes sense that you want a Realtor that you trust – someone who puts you at ease during a process that can be exhausting. Dakota Shannon understands this. It was his own unpleasant experience with a Realtor when he bought his first property that inspired him to earn his license and help families achieve their dream of finding the ideal home. A Centerville High School graduate, Dakota combines the elements of old school real estate that never go out of style (like genuine, friendly customer service and prompt attention around the clock) with the vital aspects of the industry today (like expert proficiency in implementing Internet, social media and other technological tools to reach the right buyers and sellers). Passion, high energy, due diligence, communication and commitment are traits that Dakota demonstrates and why he is respected as a Realtor you can trust. Raised by a single mother, Dakota Shannon learned the value of hard work; and the importance of character and integrity at a young age. As a boy, he dreamed of owning a house as fast as he could after high school. Becoming a homeowner was a symbol of progress and pride, and he reached that milestone in his early 20s. Inspired by a sincere commitment to providing clients dedicated service and maintaining consistent communication from the first meeting to the closing, Dakota has carved a niche as a Realtor who generates results. The longtime Dayton resident studied business management at Sinclair Community College, and he has a voracious appetite for professional development and personal growth. He is also an avid sand volleyball player, spends abundant time with his beloved dog, Shelby and girlfriend Ashley. And how many Realtors do you know who can represent you as a buyer or a seller, and make you laugh with jokes? Dakota infuses his sense of humor in YouTube videos that offer real estate tips. He was even a performer in The Last Realtor Standing event at Funny Bone Comedy Club. Whether you are buying or selling, Dakota is a Realtor who you can trust to protect your interests in every stage of the process.
