Getting to know Shelley Griffin

I know your home is not a number on the mailbox, and not just a building. It is a place to grow, to love and to learn. I wake up every day and get to help my clients with their homes by solving problems, providing advice and education, and making a complicated process more enjoyable. My daily goal is to help you reach yours, which is why I am in business.

Raised in a real estate family, I have been working in the business since the early 90’s. I started as an unlicensed assistant for Sandy Garner, then took a few years off to raise my family, and returned to real estate as a licensed agent in 2002. In January of 2017, I became co-owner of the business with Sara LaFaver and Erica Davis. We are very excited to grow Harcourts The Garner Group, together.

My background has allowed me to become one of the top producing agents in the Bend real estate market, and across the west coast, for both new construction and total residential sales. I was blessed to achieve the #1 Sales Agent for Harcourts USA for 2018, 2020 and 2021.

Born and raised in Central Oregon, I consider the region’s culture an integral element of my life. I believe in giving back to the community I love, and I am active in community affairs. I am a member of City Club of Central Oregon, the Bend Chamber, and I am an alumnus of the Leadership Bend Class of 2016.

With my husband Dan, I enjoy fishing, reading, knitting, swimming, traveling and spending time with my family and friends. I have two fantastic kids, Lindsay and Ben. Ben and his wife Jordan just had our first grandchild, Abel. We are all so excited that our family is expanding.

Through my career, I have earned the following professional designations; NAR Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), GREEN Broker, and Earth Advantage Broker.
