Shane Bonanno is a seasoned Realtor with nearly three decades of experience along the Connecticut shoreline. Raised in Westbrook and now based on Main Street in Old Saybrook, Shane has spent most of his life in the communities he serves and brings deep local knowledge to every transaction. Shane firmly believes in providing every client with truly professional advice and service—something he feels only a small percentage of Realtors consistently deliver. Buying or selling a home is a complex process that demands experience to achieve the best results, and his goal is to make that process as stress-free as possible from start to finish. Known for his honesty, integrity, and calm guidance, he represents both buyers and sellers across a wide stretch of the shoreline. After a standout athletic career at Westbrook High School in soccer, basketball, and golf, Shane attended Elon University in North Carolina, where he thrived both academically and socially. His ability to connect with many different people there has carried directly into his real estate career. He began his professional path in Charlotte, NC, working as a Mortgage Consultant for two years before returning to Connecticut in 1999 to join his father, Peter Bonanno, in real estate. Together, they built a respected family business known for strong results and long-term client relationships. An experienced Realtor with a demonstrated history in the industry, Shane is skilled in new home sales, short sales, foreclosures, single-family homes, and condominiums, with strong capabilities in marketing, real estate transactions, banking, and contract negotiation. Now, as part of Linda’s Team at William Raveis Real Estate, Shane combines his extensive experience with the team’s dedicated support and resources, allowing him to focus even more on what matters most: guiding his clients and protecting their best interests. Shane lives in Old Saybrook and believes this is a wonderful area to raise a family, with its great shops, restaurants, and close-knit community. His daughter, Sophia, is his pride and joy. He treasures the time they spend playing tennis together and also enjoys golfing as a member of Fenwick Golf Club.

      The service provided was outstanding. Linda's Team took care of us from beginning to end and was always in constant contact with us and always addressed our concerns with the sale and purchase of our homes. They were always more than accommodating during busy times and we couldn't be more pleased with the level of professionalism and anyone else we had to come into contact with during our numerous transactions.
    • Lynn Mathews

      Ben Zupan was an AWESOME agent. Really had our best interest at heart. I will recommend him to anyone I know who needs an agent.
    • Laura
      We would highly recommend Kira to help you buy or sell your home. Kira is very knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive! We were shopping for a home by the shore and lived 1 1/2 hours away. Kira kept us posted on newly listed homes and was always able to accommodate us in looking at a home. She also helped to guide us through the financial, contractual, and emotional aspects of buying a home. She was patient and very supportive. Thanks so much, Kira!

    • Jessica Jackson
      Linda and her team did an amazing job selling my house. I was given great advice on what would help make my house look better and sell faster. I had offers within minutes of my house going online. Linda gave me excellent advice on how to proceed. The whole process was a great experience and I’m very thankful for their help! I would definitely recommend Linda or anyone on her team if you are selling your house!
    • Elise McDermott
      I have known Linda O'Hara for more than 25 years. In that time she has helped us and our daughters buy and sell many homes. We just sold our home this October. Linda is a straight shooter and has always been honest with us on the value of our homes. Not only did she negotiate a great deal on the home we bought, but she sold our prior home in one day! It was a clean, smooth transaction and I highly recommend consulting with Linda and her team for your home needs.
    • Melissa Spencer
      I've known Linda a long time and knew she's where I'd turn when ready to buy my first house. I was absolutely right, the whole team was great. My agent, Ryan DeLuca was perfect for the job. He responded quickly to any and all questions I had, and did a great job coordinating meetings and such with the whole team. He was very personable and a true pleasure to work with. The closing was December 30th 2022. What a great way to start the year. I would recommend Linda's team for anyone looking to buy a house.
    • Yuz Alesh
      Linda & Tim, I would never be able to do it without you guys! You put so much thought, energy, and imagination into selling my house. You did for me what I could not at this difficult point in my life. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Irene
    • Douglas Allen
      It was very beneficial to us to have Linda’s team throughout the sale of our house. They were able to advise us on the best methods to sell our house and we couldn’t be happier.
    • Betsy Clifford
      I have used Linda's team in selling two homes and buying a house. They are extremely professional and always looking out for their clients' interests. When we were selling our first house, Jim Foley went above and beyond to make sure some repairs were done properly prior to sale while I dealt with a family illness. I just used Jim and Linda again to sell a home, and their professionalism was outstanding. They advertised, staged and sold the house quickly and with no issues. Linda is a fierce negotiator on behalf of her clients and her years of experience show in any advice she might offer. I would highly recommend Linda O'Hara and Jim Foley. They make a great team.
    • Daniel Daley
      Linda's Team at William Raveis Real Estate I just purchased 22 Woodlawn Ave in Branford CT. Great experience in under 30 days. I have had Sarah represent me in several real estate transactions. She always follows up with me and is a pleasure to work with.
    • John Serbent
      Linda's Team was exceptional. They were very well thought out with their marketing plan for the sale of our house, and they were more than willing to assist us with even the smallest of issues. Most importantly, they delivered on their price promise, and then some. For a stressful time, it was a positive experience.
    • Robert Olson
      We were pleasantly surprised that our house sold after only two weeks on the market. We thought that we would be doing open houses and showings for months! Linda and her team were very professional and handled all of the details for us. They also had contacts for reliable people to assist us in our move to the southwest. We thank Linda and her team for helping to make a stressful life event much easier for us. Highly recommend!!
    • Emily Kelly
      My boyfriend and I are first-time home buyers, and could not have been in better hands than Paige. She lead us through the entire house hunting/buying process with expertise, ease, and the utmost professionalism. Paige is very knowledgeable about the area, was excellent at suggesting negotiation tactics when it came to putting our bid in on the home and was on top of everything during the closing process! Even after buying the home, Paige acted as our point of contact when working with the original owners to discuss post-purchase problems/solutions. We loved working with Paige, and would highly recommend her to anyone planning on moving into the areas she operates in!
    • Sean Carroll
      Oftentimes, effectively and successfully executing major life decisions requires building a large amount of rapport and trust in a short amount of time. This is in direct opposition to how some people operate—myself included—until my wife and I met and hired Paige Slocum to list, advertise, show, and sell our home. In our first meeting Paige laid out the process, answered all of our questions, and told us exactly how the selling process would work. There was not a single step in the process that Paige did not predict almost 8 weeks in advance. Paige truly made this process as painless and transparent as possible. We recommend her to absolutely anyone looking to list or buy a home. She will be the advocate you did not know you needed.
