Fritzie williams

Fritzie Williams
Licensed Realtor

Born in the Philippine Islands, Fritzie has been a resident of Reno for over 20 years. Having lived in various cities across the USS, it was here — The Biggest Little City, she has always considered home.

Fritzie has a diverse background having worked in customer service, personal banking and sales consulting for nearly 10 years, but it has been through real estate that she has found the most reward in helping people realize their dreams through home ownership. Fritzie has a passion for God and family, and a love for art and music.

Having purchased her first home in 2010 as a single mother of two, she realized how empowering this feeling was. It would then help her to realize that she can do anything she put her mind to! Now married and having sold her first home to buy her second in 2015 with her husband Brandon, she recognized through the process again, how important it is to have a real estate professional who takes a personal interest in their family’s happiness. This would make her the real estate agent she is today.

“My goal is to be able to help people find a home to fall in love with, help inspire their dreams through the many opportunities that ownership brings or simply keep moving forward when life happens!"

Shawn Hand

Shawn Hand
Licensed Realtor, Property Manager

Shawn's tendency toward light-hearted perfectionism comes from his background in blah blah blah (marketing and brand management). Owning his own marketing business has given him the opportunity to help people realize their visions. Fun is his mission, laughter is his ammo. He's here to make a genuine difference in the lives of his friends, old and new.

Shawn and Aften approach real estate like they do their marriage: with care, communication, and a healthy dose of playful banter and fun! Shawn and Aften have been married 8+ years, and enjoy raising their three children. You can find them out in the sunshine with friends camping, traveling, coaching youth sports, and exploring nature around Lake Tahoe! Individually Shawn enjoys attempting to golf, sacrificing life and limb in softball's play of the week, running and cycling.

Thank you for your reviews!

"Shawn and the rest of the crew at Gandolfo Team were an absolute delight to work with. We had a situation that posed a minor hurdle in our ability to become home owners, but Shawn was always very informative and knowledgeable in options that were available to us. He genuinely acted in our best interest all around and helped our little family get into a home that was perfect for us! We couldn't have asked for better representation from beginning to end."

Elizabeth Ortiz

"The Gandolfo Team is absolutely amazing! Aften was so patient with us as we tried to figure out what we were looking for and found our dream home so much quicker than we thought would have been possible! She took care of us every step of the way, making sure we knew exactly what was happening and why. Loved the whole experience and if we didn't love our house so much that we never want to move, we wouldn't look anywhere else for a Realtor!"
