Shane Willcox ranks his Santa Monica home and surrounding Westside community as one of the best places to live in the world. That's a huge compliment coming from anyone, let alone a Real Estate Agent who grew up in Australia and lived in London before relocating to Los Angeles to pursue a job opportunity. Representing clients across Santa Monica and the greater Westside, he is proud to bring his winning combination of professionalism, humor, and authenticity to The Agency.
Shane's international upbringing and experience abroad have given him the innate ability to relate to individuals from all walks of life. With his attentive listening and injected humor, it's not uncommon for Shane's clients to feel instantly at ease, and for his role to blur the lines between trusted friend and expert Real Estate Agent. As an individual who settled in Los Angeles himself, Shane can easily relate to foreigners' stories of moving to the U.S. After all, being a Real Estate Agent isn't just about selling homes it's about working with people, getting to know them, and deciphering how best to accommodate their needs. Shane's lifelong fascination with technology and the ways in which it can improve daily life has carried over to his career in real estate. Committed to running his business in a paperless fashion, Shane offers his clients the most innovative ways of connecting, making each stage of the process flow as efficiently and effortlessly as possible. By embracing tools to help him keep track of his interactions with current and future clients, Shane's accessibility and communication in the field are second to none.
Shane is our go-to guy. He represented us when we bought our house in 2019 and then when we sold the house in 2023. He embodies all the traits you want to see in a real estate agent. He’s extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, knows how to be aggressive when necessary, and is available 24/7. Most importantly, he’s honest, and never puts his interest ahead of the client. Shane was referred to us by a friend and is firmly entrenched in our group – everyone uses him. Certainly, can’t emphasize enough how important it is to find someone like Shane, since you not only get Shane, but his entire roster of referrals. We also used the mortgage brok...

The home buying process is a maze where potential perils (real and imagined) abound. As first time home buyers this was especially true for us, which is why it was so fortunate that Shane agreed to be our agent. Shane exemplifies what it means to truly be an “agent”, and looked after our best interests at every turn with incredible attention to detail. His advice was always spot on–and he never shied away from telling us what we needed to hear (even if it wasn’t what we wanted to hear in the moment). Shane was also incredibly patient, and wasn’t happy until we found the absolutely perfect house for us.
It’s extremely important to find an agent you ...

Shane was able to sell my condo in LA and get the price I was aiming for or better super quickly. He is extremely knowledgeable, organized, professional, and hard-working. He is extremely efficient yet very personable and takes the time to explain every step of the process to your satisfaction. This was my first time on the selling side, but Shane made it so comfortable and easy. I even live out of state yet Shane was able to solve all the issues that came up and get everything ironed out without my physical presence ever being required.
I informed Shane I was trying to sell quickly, and due to his amazing work ethic, intelligence, and attention to...

Shane stuck with us for six months, finding us on and off-market homes and working very hard to get us the home of our dreams. He actually delivered and did so with grace and aplomb! I'm going to miss him now that I have a house…

Shane was an amazing agent for us. His patience and thoroughness couldn't have been more valuable to us as first-time home buyers. Not only did he take care of everything to ensure things went as smoothly as possible, but he did so while keeping us informed and educated along the way. More importantly, though, he provided objective advice and opinions. His knowledge and advice really saved us from some bad deals and homes. We were never pressured or pushed on anything, and his patience really paid off when we were able to find exactly what we were looking for at a great price. Couldn't imagine using anyone else, and we'd highly recommend him to anyb...

Where to begin? Shane is just amazing. He is extremely responsive, kind, caring and will go the extra mile long after the deal is done. His grounded opinions are never about the sale but about you, the client.
— David B.
Our first impression of Shane was his sincerity which is hard to feel when you are little skeptical about agents in general as first-time buyers in a heated market. It took us quite some time to find our 'perfect' home but throughout the search process, Shane was very patient and always made us feel as though we were his only client! Whenever a home that met our criteria hit the market, he tried his best to establish good rapport with selling agents and get us started to view the property asap. He was always there to view properties with us and gave his honest feedback. The whole process of finding our first home was very stressful and overwhelming ...

We chose to hire Shane as our listing agent given his intimate knowledge of our condominium building and extensive experience of selling in the surrounding area. When deciding on the listing price, we had open and frank discussions about numbers and our philosophies behind them. Shane listened to our perspective without ego and we settled on a number that was comfortable for both of us and he worked with us to develop a strategy if the listing sat stagnant for more than a week or two. Shane also offered valuable tips and small improvements to ensure a successful showing. Additionally, we were impressed by the level of professionalism and quality of ...

We definitely give Shane an excellent review and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell! We spent over 3 plus years working with him to find our perfect place to call Home. He was always professional and punctual with his knowledge of the ever-changing market. He was extremely attentive throughout the offer and escrow process. His extreme professionalism and detailed-oriented nature through the inspection process made us feel comfortable and we never pressured to make any decisions. Don't wait to begin working with Shane! Trust us, you will be so happy you did!

Shane is incredible! This was our first home and we had no clue what we were doing. Shane took an incredible amount of time to walk us through each and every step (sometimes multiple times) and even went with us to open houses. He took care of every aspect of buying a home and made a confusing and stressful process super easy. His follow up is second to none and his response time was always within minutes. Professional, cool, calm, collected, knowledgeable; Shane was our rock and we always felt like we were in great hands. We seriously wouldn't have our home without him.
— Jay P.
Shane was extremely helpful in both our search and close processes. He has great expertise, is responsive and communicative, and is also friendly and approachable. We were originally working with him to explore condos on the west side, and ended up purchasing a single family home in Sherman Oaks. Shane was very flexible and helpful throughout the process. He scheduled all of our inspections, met the inspectors at our house, and followed up with them throughout the process. We enjoyed working with him and highly recommend him.
— Cara V.
Shane did an outstanding job helping us find and secure a home. As first-time home buyers, we had some anxiety about buying, but Shane helped educate us and made us incredibly comfortable along the way. Shane was involved in the entire process, from sourcing houses to inspection, closing, and following up several times after closing to check how we are. We couldn't have picked a better professional to help us and we look forward to working with Shane in the future.

Shane sold a Santa Monica condo for me in summer of 2021, and I couldn't have been happier. He helped me through getting things repaired, staged, photographed, listed and shown. Within a week we had multiple offers, and sold the place 90k over asking within two weeks (Which we did not expect due to comps.) During the whole process he kept me in the loop while taking care of things, and we played it safe while still coming out on top. Slam dunk! Thanks Shane.
— Andrew M.
Shane did a very good job for me, both getting a good result and being thoroughly communicative throughout. We discussed mechanics and tactics and strategy regularly, so that there were few surprises that could not be overcome. He's also a nice guy, which helps a lot as well.
— Harvey K.
Shane is a total pro. He knows the west side of LA extremely well, including the idiosyncrasies of the Santa Monica real estate market. He's really well organized and I always felt he had my best interests in mind during the process. Highly recommend.
— Andrew C.
Shane was very impressive to work with. He presented good ideas to get the best sales price. He communicated quickly, and had great follow through. He understands the market and can pull off a sale even in a Pandemic.
