Our Story

Our Story

Tiffany Shell and Jen Svoboda first met in 2016. At the time, they were working for rival brokerages to close a deal on a beautiful mid-century modern home—Jen representing the sellers, and Tiffany representing the buyers. They were immediately impressed by each other’s professionalism. They clicked right away over their love of MCM houses, design, and music. They became fast friends. When getting together socially, they invariably wound up sharing experiences from their combined 39 years in real estate. It occurred to Tiffany and Jen: if they joined forces, they would be unstoppable! That’s when the Svoboda Shell group was born. With Realtor Tammy Nilsen, Transaction Coordinator Cindy Swaykus, & assistant Rexus Suarez, the team was complete!

Jennifer is amazing! She helped me and my husband sell our 1st home. Jen sold our house in one weekend, we were in a time crunch and she was right on every single part of this sale.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Tiffany helped us buy a house in 2015 and sell the house when we moved out of the state in 2021. I can honestly say I dread having to work with any other Realtor®!

She was patient when we asked a million questions, gave real answers even if it was telling us something we didn't wan...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

One roadblock after another was removed by Jen Svoboda. First, the appraisal came in low and the buyer was unable to make up the difference. Jen stepped in to manage the appraisal review and second appraisal to help them move forward with the original offer price. Next, we never heard of backup offers, but Jen had and she managed this exactly as needed so that we had options just in case. As for communic...
