Shanara Carter is a successful real estate broker at At Home with Shanara brokered by EXP Realty LLC. Her journey into real estate began 22 years ago as an investor. Her interest gradually evolved into a passion for helping others find their dream homes or investment properties, leading her to become a Realtor in 2018. Before this, Carter had a 20-year career as a registered nurse, a background she credits for many of the skills she uses daily in real estate. She believes that her nursing experience, which involved supporting patients, problem-solving and attention to detail, parallels the requirements of a real estate agent in providing guidance and expertise to clients.

Carter’s deep understanding of the market, honed over two decades, is a key asset in negotiating the best deals for her clients. She emphasizes the importance of educating clients to empower them to make informed decisions. Her dedication is evident in her commitment to understanding each client’s unique needs and her extensive market knowledge. She’s a community market leader with impeccable digital marketing skills that can be used in any profession.

Beyond her work as a Realtor, Carter is expanding her expertise. She’s dually licensed in Illinois and Indiana, and is also in the process of co-authoring two books on real estate. Beyond her professional endeavors, she is deeply involved in philanthropy. She is the founder of Safe in His Hands LLC, a transitional program aimed at helping homeless, pregnant women on their journey toward homeownership. This initiative reflects her commitment to using her skills and resources to make a positive impact in her community.
