Sean Shepard

Real Estate Agent in OR

With a journey that began in 1993 as an assistant to his mother's real estate business, Sean Shepard has long since established a legacy of clientele through a knowledge of Lake Oswego's luxury real estate market, coupled with a concierge level of customer service. While his expertise spans the entire Portland metro area, the Lake Oswego, West Linn, and Tualatin triangle has long been his backyard!

With a heavy focus on corporate relocation and new construction in his early years, Sean quickly learned to provide a level of service tailored to the more discerning clientele, while still bridging the gap and managing relationships with builders and subcontractors. Now with over two decades as a licensed broker, he has successfully navigated residential and commercial development, condo conversions, new construction, 1031 exchanges for investment properties, corporate relocation for numerous firms, and most importantly, guiding individuals through the purchase and sales of their personal homes!

Sean doesn't have a single client that he couldn't call a friend and often says, "I'm not in a sales business, I'm in a relationship business. My expertise just happens to be used to professionally navigate clients through their transactions.”

As a former Lake Oswego brokerage owner, he recognized the benefit of transitioning and partnering with a local firm rooted in technology and more importantly with a culture and heart to serve. Opt Real Estate’s local presence, as well as their expansive network, allows the Shepard Group to expertly guide their clients through detailed property analysis and transactions throughout Oregon, around the nation, and across the globe. Above all, this partnership enhances the curated, concierge level of service provided to every client, regardless of price point or geographic market.

While consistently recognized for his production and high level of customer service, Sean does prioritize fun and adventure with his wife and teenage daughter. Depending on the season, you'll find him snowboarding, golfing, waterskiing, climbing, mountain biking, hiking or running his dog on the beach somewhere.

Sean’s life does truly live out this verse: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others more significant than yourselves.” Phil 2:3

My Happy Clients

"Sean is an amazing person and an amazing agent. He is dedicated to his clients and really goes above and beyond to make the client and seller happy. He has lived in the Portland area his entire life, so he is very knowledgeable about the area and is always quick to help you find the right side of town to call home. He responds quickly and professionally and is always working hard for you. What an awesome agent! Way to go, Sean!"

Jessica Hall

"Can't say enough about Sean. Very knowledgeable, super straightforward, and assertive enough to guide me through the ups and downs during the purchase process. I always knew what the next step was, what I needed to do, and what he was doing to support me. I will never use anyone else again."

J. Crowthers

"There are a few key characteristics I consider essential when working with a realtor – being collaborative, solid local expertise in the market, and a great communicator throughout the process. Sean Shepard (aka, “Shep”) not only nailed these but went well above and beyond during my experience with him as we sold our home in Tigard this past month as we move out of state. Throughout the entire process he listened to us while providing valuable feedback that helped us secure multiple offers in less than 3 days. His real value emerged during the back-and-forth negotiations with the buyer’s realtor. His knowledge of our needs combined with his rapport with the other agent turned out to be a winning combo. I’m still amazed but the “extra effort” he put in like buying a smoke detector for our upstairs – and installing it! How many other realtors do that? He cares and it shows. I’d highly recommend him to friends and family. We look forward to working with him again when we move back into the area. Thanks Shep! "

David Mills

"Sean was fantastic to work with. He took so much time to show us the ropes and was very knowledgeable about the market. His help with negotiating through the purchase was invaluable. We can't thank him enough for the work he did making our dream of home ownership a reality."

Buyer

"We have worked with Sean for buying and selling personal and investment properties. He is a true professional who understands and exudes customer service. His willingness to make things happen are what makes him unique. He always goes well beyond what we would expect from an agent. We highly recommend him! Not mention he sold our last house in 3 days well above asking price!"

Zillow Seller

"Sean Shepard's expertise and knowledge of the area made him an obvious choice for us when relocating from the East side. Sean worked tirelessly to find the perfect home for our family, listening to our very particular needs including location close to multiple schools, specific neighborhood desires, budget, house and yard size to name a few! Sean went above and beyond as a broker seeking out the perfect home for us and we are so thankful for him!"
