About
Meet Shane Jorgenson
Shane’s parents were both involved in the real estate industry as he was growing up, so it is only natural he would be attracted to it as well. But he was not – well, not originally.
After high school, he moved to Daytona Beach, Florida, to follow his passion — aviation. “I studied at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University where I earned my degree in aeronautics and a minor in business administration,” he explains. “Growing up my parents use to say ‘Oh, Shane, you’ll change your mind 100 times about what you want to do for a living when you grow up. But I never wavered from wanting to be a pilot.”
Shane’s father made a deal with him when he was a child that for every six books he read his dad would buy him a one-hour flight lesson. So, from the age of 7 until 15, Shane took flight lessons. By the age of 21, he was a pilot for a Delta Airlines subsidiary, and at 26, he started with JetBlue.
Family, persistence, and consistency
While Shane’s superman-like grandfather instilled in him a love of flying, it was his father that showed him that it is consistency and persistence that yield success, no matter what it is you aim to undertake.
It just so happens that these two qualities are required if one is to be successful in assisting real estate consumers in the sale and purchase of homes. It was also his dad who encouraged him to get his real estate license.
So he moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth Area in 2007, obtained his license and now has two careers that he loves. “I can’t say working in real estate became a second passion; it became my ultimate high in life,” he says. “Sure, flying airplanes at the speed of sound is fun, but helping others nail a deal? Well, it’s nothing short of awesome!”
In 2012, Shane moved to Jacksonville, Florida, where he has continued his career in real estate and helping others meet their real estate needs. When Shane is not flying or working on a real estate deal, he can usually be found on the water, boating with his wife and furbabies.
