Summary of Real Estate Experience: It’s Sharon's great sense of adventure that compels her and her husband, Barry, to take a quick weekend getaway to see the famous Iditarod dog sled race in Alaska…or to take a quick 4-day shopping trip to Istanbul with a friend…

It’s her keen sense of humor that brought her to throw an April Fools' Day Surprise 40th birthday for her husband….on his 39th birthday! Or to hide Barry’s wallet in the freezer so that his cash would not burn a hole in his pocket!

And it’s her fierce loyalty and dedication to her clients that repeatedly inspires them to send their friends and family to Sharon Benson when they need a Realtor.

Sharon has been a top residential Broker in Pierce County since 1995. Respected by her peers, Sharon was elected to be the 2016 President of the Tacoma Pierce County Association of Realtors and was the 2016 Realtor of the Year.
