Shawn Merriman, Realtor®

As a passionate and dedicated real estate professional, I’m here to help you navigate the exciting, and sometimes challenging, process of buying a home. With over 20 years of collective experience through my team and hands-on experience in real estate, I have the expertise to guide you every step of the way—whether you’re buying your first home, relocating, or looking for your dream property.

Standing at 6'7", I know a thing or two about going the extra mile for my clients. Having played basketball at a high level, I understand teamwork, discipline, and the importance of strategic thinking. These qualities are further enhanced by my achievement of earning two black belts in martial arts, where I learned focus, persistence, and mental toughness. This translates directly into my real estate approach, where I work tirelessly to negotiate the best terms and find the perfect home for you.

In addition to my real estate experience, I am a Certified Moseley Instructor for pre-licensing, helping new agents enter the field with confidence. As a Certified Relocation Specialist, I have specialized training to assist individuals and families relocating to Virginia and North Carolina, ensuring a smooth transition no matter where you’re coming from.

Before transitioning into real estate, I worked as a government contractor for the Navy, gaining a deep appreciation for structure, attention to detail, and the value of trust—qualities that I bring to my real estate business every day.

I’m also deeply involved in my local communities, giving me firsthand knowledge of neighborhoods, schools, and the amenities that make Virginia and North Carolina such wonderful places to live.

Whether you’re buying your first home or relocating to a new area, my goal is simple: to make your real estate experience as seamless and rewarding as possible. Let’s work together to find the perfect place for you to call home.
