Shane began his career in the construction industry after receiving his degree in Carpentry and Business Trade. He took night classes to earn an Associate Degree in Computer Aided Drafting, with an emphasis in Architectural drafting. After a few years building homes, he decided to obtain his real estate license in early 2009. Shane knew he wanted to be under the RE/MAX balloon, and decided on RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts. As his business began to flourish, he opened an office in Polk City and began adding office staff. Shane built a strong business over the years and also saw an opportunity to become a mentor to other agents. He accepted the offer to become a Broker/Owner with RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts in 2013, and he became a principal owner of RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts in September 2016.
Shane currently resides in Polk City with his wife and three kids where he is involved with various, local organizations.

    Andrew is excellent to work with. After helping purchase our first home years ago, we were glad to work with him again. He helped make the entire complicated process easy, and worked through all of our challenging requests. We will definitely work with him again the next time!

    Going into my first homebuying process was a bit stressful at times, but Patrice Noble, from the Shane Torres team, made me feel comfortable and at ease during this process. I greatly appreciate all her guidance, knowledge, feedback along the way. I couldn't have asked for a better team in assisting me! I highly recommend using this team with your next home buying adventures.

    Trevor Gearhart, who is a member of the ReMax Torres team, is doing a great job as our Real Estate Agent!! He found current listings that we were interested in and he worked around our schedule to schedule property showings. He was alert to homes that were just listed and got us showings right away so that we could have the earliest opportunity to look at them. If we wanted a second look at a property, he also was happy to schedule those. He was very helpful during the showings and he explains things very well. He is very knowledgeable and does research which also helps. He was tuned in to any hesitance we may have had on something and strived to make sure that we were satisfied. He helped us find our new future home and he explained all the forms and paperwork to us. We were able to electronically sign which was great! He comes readily to the inspections and takes notes for us. We love working with Trevor and will continue to work with him and ReMax in selling our current home. Trevor Gearhart and the Torres team do a great job and we would highly recommend Trevor to find the perfect home for you!!

    Mallory was wonderful to work with! She's very prompt in her communication with us and gets answers to our questions in a very timely manner. She's super friendly and knowledgeable. When looking through houses we were very interested in, she never made us feel rushed and gave us all the time we needed.

    We had a relative that lived 1+ hours away from all of us, and after his passing the Torres team not only helped us get the acreage sold, but transferred documents internally so we didn't have to travel long distances. Would hire them again should the need arise.

    Helped me buy home
    Overall the team was great to work with! We started our search in mid-April, found the home we wanted mid-May and closed a month later. The team worked quickly to keep up with our pace. We wanted to be in a neighborhood before school started and they made it happen. They were very thorough with the offer process and our agent would give us a heads up of the documents that were coming with an overview of what they were so we could quickly sign. The only challenging thing we experienced was our agent taking vacation and we didn’t have a backup agent. We tried calling the office a few times to have an agent help show a house and couldn’t get ahold of anyone. The house we wanted went on the market around noon on a Friday and we had missed out on prior homes so we knew we needed to tour and put an offer in quickly. We had our lender update our pre-approval right after we saw it go on the market. We knew the listing agent so we had to contact him to get in for a tour because we couldn’t reach anyone from our team. We were able to see it at 4 through him and had an offer placed around 7 pm so the Torres team was able to come through quickly to help with the offer (I think our agent even updated the documents while on vacation which we appreciated very much). The rest of the process was incredibly smooth and they helped negotiate a few repairs that came up on the inspection that we weren’t even thinking about asking for (because we wanted the house that badly). A bonus was after closing we received a credit to help with some of our moving expenses! It was a nice surprise. All in all, we were very pleased!

    We are first time home owners and found Shane and Gina and they're amazing! They were beyond helpful and always available during a competitive house market. I highly recommend Gina Allen! She listens, cares and isn't afraid to speak the trust. They're the only ones we'll ever use in buying/selling homes moving forward!!

    Has been a terrific experience working with our realtor and the team. Trevor is very attentive and on top of everything. If he miraculously didn’t have info or an answer he reached out to someone on his team and got back to us in a timely manner. Would absolutely recommend the Torres group t others
