In 2014, Shane Stiles launched his real estate career as the office manager for a high-producing team at Keller Williams. In this role, he was entrusted with far more than day-to-day oversight—he played an integral part in managing a substantial volume of transactions while simultaneously refining internal systems, streamlining workflows, and strengthening the team’s operational infrastructure to support continued growth.

Recognizing the value of expanding his capabilities, Shane obtained his real estate license in 2017, positioning himself to provide a more comprehensive and elevated level of service. Shortly thereafter, he established himself as an independent, freelance transaction coordinator, offering strategic support to agents across multiple brokerages.

Since that time, Shane has been directly involved in facilitating the successful closing of nearly 5,000 transactions—a testament to both his expertise and the trust he has earned among top-performing agents. His experience spans a wide range of markets and brokerage environments, enabling him to deliver consistency, precision, and professionalism critical in today’s fast-paced real estate landscape.

  • Closer to Closed carries a $500,000 private errors and omissions insurance not linked to any real estate office or brokerage. This serves as a safety net for us, you, and your clients. In our 10+ years of doing business, we have never had to use it as attention to detail is what we do.

  • When you're in need of support, the last thing you want to do is take extra time to train them. Given our vast body of experience and our professional work ethic, you can take comfort in knowing that hiring Closer to Closed means not having to teach anything other than your personal preferences.

  • All systems used by Closer to Closed are built with privacy in mind. Your files are not visible to other agents and your information / business practices are never shared with other agents. Every client exists within a bubble with no cross over. While we would like to think our reputation would be enough, we are more than happy to sign non-disclosure agreements if it makes you more comfortable.
