Shannon Witt ,ABR
Buyer Specialist, CA / NV

I moved from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe in 1998 to pursue my love for outdoor activities. I received my AA from Lake Tahoe Community College in 2001 and moved to San Luis Obispo to attend Cal Poly where I earned my Bachelors in Psychology in 2003. I returned to the lake in the summer of 2003 and started working for Douglas County as a counselor for troubled youth. I moved my career up to the lake and worked with El Dorado County as a probation officer in 2005. I decided to change career paths and received my real estate license in 2007. I have been a home owner in the basin since 2005 and did a full remodel on my home allowing me to work with various companies within the basin and to build relationships with them. I love being up in this area with the four seasons offering outdoor activities of ones dreams for all seasons and the community oriented spirit that this town envelops.
Shannon joined the Deb Howard & Co. Team in April of 2007 and looks forward to providing you with real estate services that are "Above and Beyond" your expectations.

David Seifert
Buyer Specialist, CA

David moved to South Lake Tahoe in 1975 and began working for The Tahoe Savings and Loan Association. While there he became the TS&L's "In House Appraiser". In 1980 David started his own Real Estate Appraisal business, working in both the residential and commercial / income property appraisal fields. During this time he also taught Real Estate Appraisal courses at Lake Tahoe Community College and obtained the licensing from The Appraisal Foundation to instruct the National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice Courses. After 30+ years of appraisal work, David felt the desire to move on with life. Thus he sold his practice, and after a brief retirement, he felt the desire to extend both, his professional experiences in Real Estate and his enjoyment of working with others, thus it was a natural transition to enter the Real Estate Sales field. Now, after receiving his Realtor's License, David has been given the opportunity to work with Lake Tahoe Real Estate-Deb Howard & Company.
