Shannel Ryan

Recently recognized as the Most Influential Real Estate Leader, Shannel Ryan has been involved in the marketing and operations management of Colorado high-end residential real estate brokerages for more than 30 years.

Previously promoted to LIV President, Metro Denver, in July of 2020, Shannel is now responsible for all 11 LIV regions and operations as President of LIV Colorado. She also directs marketing and advertising, collaborating directly with the 20-member LIV Studio Marketing Team.

Shannel brings a wealth of experience and profound market understanding to her present-day role. After years of successfully navigating every real estate office responsibility, including personal assistant, broker, office manager, marketing director, managing broker, and most recently, senior vice president, Shannel moved to the Cherry Creek office in 2009 to become the managing broker, her first significant leadership role.

Shannel turned that assignment into one of the industry’s biggest success stories with her visionary approach. LIV SIR soon became the No. 1 performing Sotheby’s International Realty affiliate in the world and has since earned the highest per-agent productivity in the country. LIV SIR, along with its sister companies Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty and Summit Sotheby’s International Realty, ranked No. 15 in the nation based on total closed sales volume in 2022, according to the 2022 REAL Trends 500 report, collectively achieving over $16B in total closed sales volume.

“Shannel has connected with the LIV brand and our network at the highest level and earned the respect and admiration of her peers around the industry,” said R. Scott Webber, CEO, LIV SIR. “She has great integrity, energy, and commitment.”

Shannel is a 4th generation Coloradan and an active University of Colorado Boulder alumni member. She joined Fuller Towne & Country Properties, the predecessor to LIV SIR, 25 years ago. As President of Colorado’s leading luxury and lifestyle-focused real estate firm, she has innovated broker service models, creatively engaged with the business community, and delivered exciting opportunities for every broker and support staff associate to reach their long-term professional goals. Civic-minded and dedicated to service, Shannel fulfills commitments to big and small organizations. Recent achievements include The Hearts and Hope Gala, Denver Designer Showhouse, Red Cross International, and the Columbine High School Alumni Fund.
