MeetShauna & Leita Covington

Shauna Covington is a consummate professional with intimate knowledge of the local market, keen negotiating skills, and in-depth experience with the transactional process. Not to mention a joy to work with! Her guidance and recommendations during the 2 transactions she recently represented us on, (home purchase and sale) were invaluable. She was always one step ahead of the game. We would choose Shauna again in a heartbeat.

Shauna has been in town for a very long time, and it seemed she was always selling homes, so we reached out to her to get a feel for the market. She came with her daughter and listened to our thoughts and concerns. She explained the various tools she uses to market homes and gave us her opinion as to how best to sell our home. I told her we would think about it all and get back to her. It took about a week to decide if we wanted to sell and the whole time, Shauna did not call or try to pressure us. That was such a relief. We wanted to make the decision ourselves and did not want pressure. When we decided to sell, she was "on it". She was very organized, and had movers, stagers, everyone on speed dial. Our house was on the market for less than a day, and we closed in 7 days. We did not want to have the house sit or sift through low ball offers and do the bidding war game. She knew what price to list the home to avoid this. We sold for more than what we expected, and it went as smooth as possible given a 7-day escrow. I would use her again in a heartbeat. She is a true professional.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shauna and Leita. They were truly stellar in every way. Their expertise made a huge difference (how to price, how to work with neighbors, how to get it staged when I had a shoestring budget, how to attract buyers, how to get a great price, etc. ...the list goes on and on). They were tireless in running open houses and had the best attitudes about anything that needed to be done. If you want a top realtor and need to buy or sell real estate, they can handle it all and they understand the special considerations luxury real estate entails. On top of everything, they were super positive, knowledgeable, and responsive every step of the way, and their reputation and connections were major assets in getting my home sold as fast and as lucratively as possible. I am forever grateful to this power duo!

After interviewing several top local agents , I noticed Shauna was the only one that seemed to sense that a higher value could be obtained. We agreed that a lite remodel would help . She coordinated with stagers , and advised us on material selections . She truly had her finger on the pulse of what todays buyers were seeking . Result? House went into escrow within 5 days at full price. ! Bravo Shauna and Leita!!

I have had the pleasure of working with Shauna Covington on more than one property sale and I would not consider calling anyone else. She is proactive, knowledgeable and very well connected with other realtors in the area. This helps in finding the right client for each property, and shortening the time that it sits on the market. This time she was fantastic as well. She sold my multi-million dollar property, during the Covid19-ridden year, in record time. She is simply the best and I will call her each and every time I am considering buying or selling a property.

After having no success with our first agent, we listed with Shauna who sold our home. As other’s have said Shauna is an incredibly hard worker -always responsive and very determined to sell your property. She was professional and knowledgeable, taking that extra effort to make things work out. We would definitely recommend her.

I have 20 years of building experience, mainly of high end homes. After dismal results with another realtor, Shauna took over my listing in Laguna Beach, and within two months, had it sold. No doubt she is the very best realtor in Laguna Beach. Hiring anyone else would be a mistake.

Shauna is a rare breed. It's very hard to secure the services of a broker as capable as Shauna. Shauna steered us to a property offering secure, long term upside value. Her local knowledge was evident in surfacing accurate sales comparables to aid us in our decision to buy the chosen property and steer clear of another property we had investigated. Her process expertise was evident in her interactions with the title company specifically concerning CC&R issues. Further, Shauna interacted well with our attorney, providing information requested. Her responsiveness was in full view regarding the timeliness of comments helpful to our attorney and finance information provided our CFO Her negotiation skills enable us to reach agreement with the seller. Especially this skill was on display in our final sit down meeting with the seller where all open items were agreed. These qualities ...depth of experience , breadth of knowledge and advocacy are not often found in one person based on my experience. I almost hate to " let the cat out of the bag" with respect to my recommendation but , I suppose, it wouldn't be fair to Shauna . She's terrific in all respects.

Let me preface my comments by saying that I have bought and sold many homes as an owner and investor. Being that Shauna is the #1 Agent in Laguna Beach and the #4 producing agent in the USA I contacted her and decided to have her her handle my whitewater view Laguna Beach property. It was a wonderful and rewarding experience from start to finish. Because of her UNRIVALED knowledge, 30 years experience and her multiple contacts for repairs, landscaping, painting, staging etc. (All with very reasonable pricing.) I would very strongly advise any prospective seller of Laguna Beach (Or nearby) property to not even consider another agent! I found her recommended escrow company to be first rate, extremely professional and very accommodating! However, I did find their rates to be higher than expected, but one call to Shauna and the rates were reduced!

We were beyond impressed with Shauna! We had our house listed with another agent for 7 months, with no contract. In a short time, Shauna re-staged our home and found a great buyer. She is an incredibly hard worker -- always responsive and showed up for all the showings herself! She has a great sense for people, gave us excellent advice along the way. Can't recommend her enough!
