SHERWOOD LUXURY GROUP

mily Sherwood, originally from Louisiana, learned the true meaning of southern hospitality and authenticity at an early age. Today, she is a quintessential Las Vegas luxury real estate professional. After attending college at the University of Kansas and the University of Colorado, Emily started her real estate career in Colorado, selling new homes for builders and custom developers. Emily moved to Las Vegas in 1988, opening the operations of a Colorado-based home builder. This move launched her career into the luxury market in Las Vegas. Celebrities, renowned public figures, Fortune 500 executives, professional athletes, and countless others have used the services of Emily Sherwood to assist them in finding their dream home here in the Las Vegas Valley. Her philosophy is to carefully evaluate each client’s dreams and desires and tirelessly work to match them with a property that exceeds their expectations.

Emily has established an impressive resume of real estate successes. During her

30+ years selling luxury properties, she has consistently remained a top producer. She maintained top sales status selling Spanish Trail, offering condos, townhomes, luxury homes and custom lots. She was also the Vice President/corporate Broker for the $4 billion dollar Lake Las Vegas development, pioneering its sales and marketing program selling luxury custom lots, builder products and other golf and resort properties for Trans-Continental Properties.

Emily continued to thrive, moving on to the startup of MacDonald Highlands as Vice President/Corporate Broker, debuting its custom lots and the opening of Dragon Ridge Golf club. Emily maintained her high level of sales and services at MacDonald Highlands, again helping clients realize their dream home on the perfect location. Due to requests from builder clients, Emily became managing partner of BOS Marketing Group, a consulting company offering full real estate sales and marketing services to builders and resort developments around the country.

After weathering the storm of the Las

Vegas recession, Emily joined Blue Heron, a local and successful design build firm. During her time with Blue Heron/ Pivot Modern, Emily was a trusted advisor to clients in finding their unique custom lot for the creation of a one-of-a-kind Blue Heron custom home selling over $180 million dollars in the custom home arena.

“I’ve been teaching Shannon about real estate since she was born. She loved seeing the models and the developments that I was involved in. My background was always working for high end developers and builders, from the early days of Spanish Trail, the startup of Lake Las Vegas and the early stages of MacDonald Highlands and Dragon Ridge Golf Club. While selling luxury custom homes for Blue Heron, Shannon also joined me there. This gave her some hands-on experience with the new home and custom process.”

In 2019, Emily and Shannon went all-in on the luxury real estate market. Emily shares, “I didn’t need to teach Shannon about customer service as it is part of who she is. The more we worked together, the more we realized that this partnership was something that both of us enjoyed. It was destiny!”

Shannon says she has learned so many things from working with her mother, but maybe the most important is how much time, care, and respect she makes for each client. She leads her line of work with the utmost ethics and honesty and that separates her in the real estate industry. “She doesn’t ever think about herself, it is always about finding the best new chapter for her client.”

Emily says she has learned a lot from Shannon too. “We’ve learned that although we are related, being in business together highlights our different personalities, skills, and work styles.”

Shannon is a Las Vegas native so she knows the city well. Shannon’s degree in finance from Wake Forest, her background in sales, and her bubbly personality have helped them to analyze many facets of their business while keeping a sense of humor when times are tough. They also always find time to still be mother/daughter or else the business always creeps in and takes over.

Given their passion and sheer knowledge of the market, it’s no surprise this team has cultivated, “clients for life,” says Emily. “Our business is close to 96% referrals and former clients. We’re making dreams come true. Buying a house or property is one of your biggest investments. It can be wonderful and exciting. The key is exceptional customer service. Well, that and the countless partnerships the team has on speed dial. The team is currently featuring their listing at 4195 W Badura Ave as seen in the photography- This 6,085 sq. ft. residence by Jewel homes truly elevates Modern living to today’s lifestyle. The living spaces in this home are sophisticated and elegantly designed revealing the stunning indoor/ outdoor lifestyle. Available to see by appt.
