Rhianna Shemper

A career in real estate has been Rhianna’s passion since she began to think about what she wanted to do. Her major at the University of Georgia was a Bachelor’s Degree in Real Estate through the Terry College of Business. During her time at UGA she interned with one of the best, Debbie Sonenshine, and after graduation was invited to join the team. Eight years later as Debbie’s partner she is even more enthusiastic about this business.

Her Real Estate Degree provided a sound business basis for her career, but during her time with Debbie, she has learned not only the fundamentals of the real estate business, but the important nuances and sound negotiating. She understands that when you are counseling people about the most important investment decision they will make in their lives, nothing is easy or necessarily intuitive and experience counts for everything.

Not only has she learned the importance of customer service but the importance of being well informed, well educated and well prepared. Professional integrity is a hallmark of her career and of our team.

To Rhianna no detail is too small, especially when working with first time buyers. She enjoys working with new clients, helping them go through the process step by step. She loves helping them find their first home or the new home they need for a growing family.
