About Shawn
I first discovered Salida in 2007 on a road trip with my wife and our dog. We camped just outside of town, and I instantly knew this was where I wanted to be. Like so many others, I was drawn to the beauty, the lifestyle, and the sense of community here. Today, I’m grateful to call Salida home—and I love helping others do the same.
After moving from Summit County, I quickly got involved in the community and found a real sense of belonging. In addition to being a full-time real estate agent with First Colorado, I work with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) to support local entrepreneurs. Before real estate, I owned and operated several successful businesses along the Front Range, so helping others launch and grow their ventures is something I truly enjoy.
My degree in Agricultural Business from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, along with my upbringing on a small family farm, gives me a strong connection to rural properties and a deep respect for land and agricultural communities. I’ve worked closely with local ranchers and landowners and understand the unique needs of buyers and sellers in this space.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outside—skiing in the winter, biking, trail running, hiking, or camping in the summer, and spending time on the Arkansas River.
Whether you're looking for a second home, an investment property, ranch land, or a place to build your dream, I’m here to help. I chose First Colorado because of our strong local reputation, deep experience, and commitment to integrity. Let’s make The Arkansas River Valley dream a reality.
Client Review
"Shawn Allison Realtor has been great to work with to find and purchase our home in Salida, Co. He was at first willing to show us available property in the area and spent an afternoon with us showing us the area and available homes. He is well connected with people, and businesses, and knows what Salida has to offer as a place to live. Shawn was helpful throughout the process putting us in contact with lender, title, inspector, etc. He was always available to answer questions and prompt with updates and information. He was a very good buyer's advocate during negotiations and in contact with seller's agent to assist us when needed. Shawn continues to help us after the closing as we begin to enjoy our new property in Salida. I highly recommend that one choose to work with Mr. Shawn Allison when looking for property in the Salida, Co area."
