‘Selling Sunset’ is Cute, But For Agent Shanai Ragsdale, Real Estate Has a Greater Purpose

3 Min Read

Meeting Realtor Shanai Ragsdale for coffee in McKinney last Friday, she shared her early morning routine, starting her day at 4:30 a.m. “Oh, that’s how you do it,” I remarked.

When I first encountered Ragsdale at a MetroTex YPN holiday function, her packed schedule left me breathless. A full-time Realtor, mother of four boys (ranging from 2 to 20), President of the Women’s Council of Realtors in Collin County, and active member of numerous committees and associations, she scoffed at the idea of not being busy. “Yeah, that’s not a thing,” she chuckled.

“This is the life that I’ve prayed for and that I’ve worked for. It’s a lot, but I wouldn’t want it any other way,” Shanai Ragsdale affirmed.

Shanai Ragsdale’s journey in real estate is deeply rooted. Originally from Kansas City, she settled in Grand Prairie at the age of four and has been a permanent resident of Dallas-Fort Worth since 2007. Real estate runs in her family; her mother, Janie Ragsdale, is a seasoned Realtor and owner of Exit J Ragz Realty Elite.

Licensed since 2009, Ragsdale initially ventured into real estate while expecting her second child but postponed it due to timing. She pursued a career in corporate America, ranging from ad sales to global management for a tech company. However, the pandemic reshuffled her plans, prompting her return to real estate, encouraged by her mother’s franchise purchase.

Ragsdale’s involvement in real estate extends beyond family ties. Her father, Fred Ragsdale, joined the brokerage after retiring from American Airlines, and her sister, a former onsite sales counselor, also became part of the brokerage. Even her brother is engaged in commercial real estate at CBRE.

Transitioning to real estate full-time, Ragsdale immersed herself in advocacy work, notably with the Women’s Council of Real Estate, MetroTex Association of Realtors, and Collin County Association of Realtors. Her active participation earned her recognition as a leader, particularly within the Women’s Council.

Reflecting on the transformative era in real estate, Ragsdale emphasizes the enduring need for Realtors amidst industry shifts. Despite uncertainties, she advocates for focusing on client service and community impact over monetary gains.

Ragsdale’s narrative exemplifies the profound significance of homeownership, illustrated by her client’s journey. For her, real estate isn’t merely about transactions; it’s about realizing dreams and fostering housing security.

“Selling Sunset” may be entertaining, but for Shanai Ragsdale, the essence lies in ensuring housing stability.
