Shannon Witt

Shannon is California born and raised and moved to South Lake Tahoe in 1998 to pursue her dream of an outdoor lifestyle. She fell in love with the small-town spirit that Lake Tahoe provided and lived the young 20's girls dream. Graduating from Lake Tahoe Community College in 2001, She moved to San Luis Obispo to complete her college studies, graduating Manga Cum Laude with a BA in Psychology with an emphasis on family and child counseling and a minor in Gerontology from Cal Poly. Realizing that she was a mountain girl at heart, Shannon moved back to Lake Tahoe and planted roots. After working as a live-in care provider and probation officer for juveniles, she found her passion was in helping people locate the home base where they could raise and nurture family, so she obtained her California and Nevada Real Estate licenses in 2007. With a desire to expand her real estate knowledge and skills, she acquired her brokers licenses in both states in 2019. Working with the same brokerage firm for 16 years, in 2023, Shannon ventured out and found the perfect fit with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Drysdale Properties.

Shannon is very community minded. Seeing how small of a community South Lake Tahoe is and understanding the need for affordable housing in this day and age, Shannon, along with a group of like-minded locals, created the non-profit Tahoe Home Connection in 2018. Tahoe Home Connection was formed to unlock, utilize, and improve affordable housing for South Lake Tahoe locals in a scalable, self-sustaining way that allows for connections between homeowners, property managers, employers, and renters..
