Shannon Kocur

**Professional Biography**

With over two decades of experience in the mortgage industry, I have dedicated my career to guiding clients through the home financing process with expertise and care. My journey began in 2001 as a Loan Officer, and since then, I have expanded my knowledge and skill set by working as a Settlement Agent for a title company and as a Real Estate Agent. This diverse background has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the home buying and lending process from multiple perspectives.

Holding a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Towson University, I initially pursued a career in teaching. However, an opportunity to join a mortgage lending company soon after graduation ignited my passion for helping individuals and families achieve homeownership. My background in education plays a significant role in my approach, allowing me to simplify complex financial concepts and guide my clients with clarity and confidence.

I am a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator, Title Insurance Producer, and Real Estate Agent, specializing in First-Time Homebuyers, FHA, and VA loan programs. My extensive industry experience enables me to navigate every aspect of real estate transactions, ensuring a smooth and informed process for my clients. At Coastline Mortgage, I have found a family-oriented and collaborative environment that aligns with my values, allowing me to offer tailored solutions that best meet my clients' needs.

At the heart of my business is a client-centered approach built on trust, transparency, and proactive problem-solving. I take pride in being approachable and patient, making home financing an empowering experience rather than a stressful one. Open communication is key, and I ensure my clients are informed and supported every step of the way.

Beyond my professional life, I am deeply committed to my family. I am married to Brian, who also works in the mortgage industry, and together we have three wonderful children: Cayden and twins Tyler and Kyla. Staying active through yoga, walking, and biking keeps me balanced, while my love for cooking and trying new recipes fuels my creativity. I also enjoy watching horror movies, a pastime I share with my daughter.

Looking ahead, I am passionate about developing financial education resources—guides, blogs, videos, and podcasts—to empower clients with knowledge about the mortgage process and available financing options. By combining my industry expertise, problem-solving skills, and dedication to clear communication, I strive to make homeownership an achievable and rewarding milestone for every client I serve.
