About Shelby Bortone

My Client-First Philosophy

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.

That said, in my experience as a Duluth real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

 

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

 

Pledge to Clients: First and foremost I am loyal and trustworthy. I am a good listener and look for a home for you with your needs in mind not my own. You can be sure I will work with you from beginning to end to make your dreams come true. I will take the worry about your real estate transactions and make it my own…

 

Professional Experience: I have been a licensed Realtor® for  8 years. My first seven years in Florida and now in Minnesota. I have been a “Top Producer” 6 out of those 8 years.  I have been a business women for many years. Having had a data base business and created extensive data sets for State and Environmental groups.

 

Education: I am a licensed Realtor in Minnesota and Florida. I have an AS degree in Business Administration. I attend continuing education classes each year for Minnesota and Florida as well as many non required classes to expand my knowledge base.

 

Outside Interests: Over the years I have been lucky enough to belong to and participate in the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, Mentor Duluth, Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation, Sanibel Beautification, The Ocean Conservancy, and many fund raising events. Giving back to the community makes me feel more of a part of it. Photography and traveling are my passions. I have been lucky enough to have traveled and lived in twenty different cities and visited twelve countries.

 

 I look forward to hearing from you and starting to work on your dreams.
