What Clients Shared About Working With Shayna
Shayna is a very rare find! She is professional, responsive, intelligent and most of all truly passionate about helping her clients. We gave her an impossible task and she found us the ’unicorn’ allowing our Daughter to move from MN to FL with peace of mind. After all said and done, I don’t belive her commissions will cover her gas expenses, regardless of that, she treated us like her biggest client. I truly appreciate all she has done for us and would not hesitate to recommend her services.
Shayna sat down with me and went through the association rules before I made an offer, so I knew about the guest and parking rules ahead of time. Every question got a clear answer, and nothing about closing caught me off guard.
Shayna walked through our home like a guest would and gave us a short, practical list of what to finish before photos. The showings were organized around our schedule, and we always knew what was coming next.
I was moving down from up north and needed a lease before I knew the area. Shayna helped me get my paperwork ready early and explained the lease terms in plain English. Renting first was exactly the right call.
Shayna helped us line up every document and question before we made an offer, and that saved us a lot of stress. Calm, organized and always quick to call back.
My mother was buying in a 55+ community and I was helping from out of state. Shayna kept both of us in the loop, sent the documents we needed to read, and made sure we had our association questions answered first.
We wanted to lease our home for a season before deciding whether to sell. Shayna helped us check the association leasing rules and get the house ready. Thoughtful, polished and easy to work with.
We were comparing Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Parkland and had no idea where to start. Shayna asked how we wanted a normal week to look and helped us narrow the map from there. It felt like having a concierge for the whole move.
Selling my unit meant dealing with the association approval steps, and Shayna had the paperwork lined up early so buyers could review everything quickly. Warm, patient and very attentive.

What to sort out before a Boca Raton move
Luxury homes, 55+ communities and rentals each raise different questions. These cards cover the ones that come first and where to check the answers.
How should you compare Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Parkland as places to start a search?
Compare Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Parkland by commute, daily errands and the kind of home you want, rather than by any ranking. Spend time in each place at different hours. List what a normal week needs before narrowing the map. Check commute times with current map sources.
What should you know before buying or renting in a 55+ community near Boca Raton?
Before buying or renting in a 55+ community such as Valencia Palms, Valencia Falls or Boca Delray Golf & Country Club, read the association rules, ask what the fees cover and confirm any age requirements. Ask about pets, guests, parking and leasing rules too. Rules can differ between buildings and sections. Confirm rules and age requirements with the association and a qualified legal source.
What should a luxury buyer review before making an offer?
A luxury buyer should review inspections, insurance quotes, association rules and carrying costs before making an offer. Line up financing or proof of funds early. Ask for property records and recent repair history. Refer lending questions to a lender and inspection questions to a qualified inspector.
What should you ask about insurance before buying in Palm Beach County?
Before buying in Palm Beach County, ask insurers for quotes early and ask what flood, wind and hurricane coverage would cost. Insurance can change the true monthly cost of a home. Ask about roof age, windows and any mitigation features. Check flood zones and coverage with official sources and qualified insurance professionals.
Should you rent in Boca Raton before buying?
Renting in Boca Raton before buying gives you time to learn neighborhoods, commutes and seasonal rhythms first. Choose a lease length that fits your search. Ask whether an early exit is possible if you find a home. Have lease questions reviewed by a qualified legal source.
What do newcomers often not realize about daily life in Boca Raton?
Newcomers to Boca Raton are often surprised by how much seasonal traffic and the time of year shape daily routines. Test your commute and errands in more than one season if you can. Visit at busy and quiet times.
