About Shawn

Back in 2007 I took a road trip with my wife and dog to a camp spot just outside of Salida. I fell in love with Salida on my first visit and I knew that I needed to figure out how to move here. I understand why people want to live in Salida, vacation and spend time outdoors in this special place. I am a Real Estate professional because I want people to fulfill that same dream in the Salida area. Moving from Summit County, CO to Salida was easy. The change gave me an opportunity to get ingrained into our community and involved in local groups and activities. In addition to being a full time Realtor for First Colorado I help entrepreneurs in Chaffee County through the Small Business Development Center (SBDC). My background prior to Real Estate was owning successful businesses on the front range. I thoroughly enjoy working with entrepreneurs to help them succeed in their own business endeavors. My Agricultural Business degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, CA has helped me to work closely with local ranch and land owners. I grew up on a small family farm and my appreciation for rural communities and landscapes are ingrained. My wife and I enjoy anything outdoors, skiing and snowshoeing in the winter, summer on bikes, trail running, boating on the Arkansas, camping and hiking in the surrounding wilderness. I can help with purchase of a second home / vacation property, investment and commercial opportunities as well as ranch and land. I choose First Colorado because of the reputation of uncompromised integrity and the experience our firm has been built on. Let me help fulfill your Salida dream!

A True Expert

Shawn was professional, personable and most important to me, was a local expert. He is well versed in the nuances of local laws, codes and traditions. He was patient when I had wide ranging questions and found a way to either answer my questions directly or provide me with the resources to answer my questions now (and going forward). I highly recommend working with Shawn if you're considering buying or selling property in Rockies.

Did a great job for us under pressure!

We needed a realtor to help us purchase a lot in Salida, and a friend referred us to Shawn. We were heading up for a couple days just to figure out where we wanted to be. He happened to be leaving on vacation that weekend, but he put together a tour that he emailed to us. While we were only intending to look, we ended up making a decision in a day! So in the midst of his vacation, which also included a family member's wedding, he took care of everything and we went under contract! He worked with us every step of the way, and made the process incredibly easy. Highly recommend Shawn Allison.

Shawn is very knowledgeable, patient, and positive

Our contract was complicated and therefore it took a year to close. There were 7 amend/extend contracts before we were able to close . Shawn was very knowledgeable, and remained patient and positive the entire time.

Success due to expert advice and service in a challenging market!

For years I have known Shawn as a friend, neighbor, and fellow swimmer and he has always been available to share his advice based on his extensive knowledge of the Salida real estate market. Even in the face of a hardening market and volatile economy, Shawn provided me with expert advice regarding pricing, timing, and marketing of the single family home I was developing in downtown Salida. His counsel proved to be trustworthy and reliable, and was always available to respond instantly to even my most mundane questions. Whether you are a buyer, or in my case, a seller, Shawn imparts a calm confidence that clients need in these uncertain times! His professionalism, patience, and attention to detail were key components to a quick and stress-free transaction resulting in the sale of the home I had built. I would recommend Shawn without hesitation.
