Long time Realtor and sales manager Jim Beal. MVB: Shannon, how do you like working with your husband and father-in-law? Shannon: Jason and I work really well together. I now have an appreciation for what he does more than when I worked a 9-to-5 job. I have a better understanding of why he can’t make it home for dinner or has to show a house on Saturday. I’ve stayed late to write up offers. When he gets a call on a Saturday to show a house, I say go forth and prosper. Jason: We’re a deadly pair when we show houses together. Shannon’s background is in mortgage and titles. And she has a creative eye when we show homes. Jim: We balance each other. She tips the scale to get things done. Shannon: I’m the third vote.
Shannon: At the end of the transaction, you have happy people. MVB: What does the future look like for JBeal? Jason: My plan’s always just to sell, sell, sell. Shannon: To continue what we’re doing. Jason: We want to keep on the path we’re on. I’ve diversified into commercial property and management so we’ll see growth there. Jim: Age-wise, I’m close to retirement, but I don’t want to retire. With this business, I can just keep doing what I’m doing every day. . MV
“Our passion for the community is very important. It’s going to be there for many years to come. I got that from him,” said Jason nodding to his dad.
MVB: What do you like best about the real estate industry? Jason: The variety. You get to meet a lot of great people. You’re not tied down to a desk. There’s flexibility with day care needs and school concerts. We don’t miss a lot.
