We loved working with Kathy and Don Shannehan. They quite literally went out of their way for us, helping us search far and wide for a house. And when we found one they were always right on top of the process, keeping us informed and on track. We would work with them again in a heartbeat. Jennifer Leighdon Wu, Harold Zernike

Don and Kathy were outstanding in every aspect. Whenever we required support, they were there. I believe they were instrumental in achieving the sale at the price negotiated, which were pleased with. Eugene & Patricia Creighton

Don Shanahan is a trustworthy professional, always knowledgeable, prepared, quick to respond to calls and early to appointments. As I am relatively new to property acquisition, I am truly grateful to be able to call on Don's expertise and advice. Suzanne Kerr

My rating and likelihood of recommending William Pitt Sotheby’s are specific to Don and Kathy Shannehan. They were exceptional at preparing my property for listing. Consequently, we had a very strong offer within the first week of listing! They were thoughtful and realistic with their approach yet vigorously represented me to make the deal happen. I intend to make referrals to them in the future! Nancy Simonds
