He said he chose real estate “partly
because as I was looking for an apartment
and having a really hard time finding one, I
realized what kind of condition the real
estate market’s in. I currently am selling
newspapers and I thought I’m doing pretty
good at sales, so why not find a product that
I can sell where I can make a little bit more
money than I do here,” Shaun said with a
smile.
Many know Shaun because of his dog
Scippio. She’s been living with friends while
he’s been working toward his license, but
she “is doing really well,” Shaun said.
“She’s living with her sister out at
Overlook Park and lots of people
who love her. She gets to run
,
around all day and be a free
dog and have a good time.”

When we’re born,
our life brand new,
Time is all we have.
but as we grow,
Time goes slow,
we long for what’s ahead.
Midway through,
our wants denied,
but time is on our side.
Career and growth and family too,
our life is undenied.
But as we age,
Time speeds away,
no time for what is dear,
only thoughts of
what we missed,
and then regrets are clear.

haun Followed received the keys to his
apartment in March through a
Supportive Services for Veterans and
Families grant as part of Multnomah
County’s efforts to house every homeless
veteran in the area. Since getting inside,
he’s been a busy man, selling Street
Roots on a daily basis to pay for
basic necessities while
simultaneously studying to
become a real estate agent.
Shaun obtained his real
estate license in late July,
with the help of Easter
Seals. It took him about
three months to finish
the classes, and he spent
a lot of time in the Street
Roots vendor computer
lab studying the
material.
The license “allows
me to help people buy or
sell real estate,” Shaun
said. “I’m currently
working out at Realty
Direct Northwest in
Beaverton.” It’s been a U
slow start, primarily
doing comparison
properties for buyers
and sellers around the
country interested in
the Portland market.
