Get To Know Me

Shawn Quinn’s passion for “all things real estate” led him to the industry in 1984. He first worked as a real estate sales associate and later as a real estate loan officer. He is a former owner and broker of a local mortgage company. Shawn applies his past experience in originating and underwriting mortgage loans to help buyers select financing options.

In 2008, during the depths of the market downturn, Shawn formed QRE Group, a real estate brokerage, and investment firm that specialized in the purchase of foreclosures at the courthouse steps, along with the acquisition, renovation, and resale of bank-owned and distressed properties. In 2012 he circled back to his roots of full-time real estate sales. Shawn finds great satisfaction in helping sellers properly prepare their homes for the market to sell for the highest possible price. He also takes a lot of satisfaction in assisting buyers in finding their dream homes.

Shawn calls upon his 36 years of experience in real estate to provide insight and information to his clients so as “to reduce or eliminate the fear of the unknown.” His forte is walking clients through seemingly difficult scenarios by breaking the complexities of buying and selling property down into basic steps. Shawn has personal experience with "fixer-upper projects," long-term and vacation rentals, along with 1031 tax-deferred exchanges.

Shawn holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and business from Westmont College, Santa Barbara, and a Master of Business Administration degree from Golden State University, San Francisco. He is an active member of the Rotary Club of Monterey, a former member and past president of the Monterey Bay Chapter of the California Association of Mortgage Brokers, and a former state director of CAMB (now known as CAMP). Shawn is the past president of the Toastmasters Club and the past president of The Pacheco Club. He lives in Pacific Grove with his wife and two children.

“Providing information empowers my clients to make intelligent, confident, and educated decisions.”

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Shawn worked with us for several years, yes years. The reason is that the California home market is extreme in pricing and value. Shawn was patient and courtesy every time we meet with him. Shawn spent countless hours with us in his office on numerous occasions until we narrowed down what we thought might work for our budget and housing needs, and then he would take us out to see those homes we selected ...
