Opportunities in the Puget Sound market are time-sensitive. As our Google reviewers highlight, keeping you in the loop from start to finish is the staple of our business—whether by phone, text, or in-person consultation.
Whether pricing a move-in ready home in Tacoma, a 55+ residence in Orting, or URM-zoned multifamily acreage in Milton, we do the deep market homework upfront so your property is positioned to win.
Connor holds both the ABR® (Accredited Buyer’s Representative) and SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designations—equipping him to serve first-time homebuyers as well as seniors downsizing into single-level living.
With Dale Shoemaker’s background as a Managing Broker, Realtor® Emeritus, and former Owner/Instructor of the Gateway School of Real Estate, every contract contingency, title detail, and negotiation is handled with precision.
My experience with Connor Shoemaker was awesome! I had never sold a house before and Connor made it seamless. He sold my house in less than 2 weeks. He did his homework and knew exactly how to price it. He is a very smart and intelligent young man. You can't go wrong having Connor sell your house. He will always go the extra mile.
Connor was fantastic. Very professional from start to finish—kept us in the loop through the entire process.
Very helpful, kept us updated on everything we needed to know. Definitely would recommend Connor for buying a house!
