Shelly Coussens — Mel Foster Co. Top 10 Realtor
Helping Quad Cities Buyers & Sellers Move with Confidence
Whether you’re buying your first home, selling to move up, or building new, my goal is to make your move feel effortless. With over a decade of experience in Quad Cities real estate, I help clients sell quickly, buy confidently, and enjoy a smooth, stress-free process from start to finish.
Born and raised in the Quad Cities, I began my real estate career in 2011 after earning my degree in Business with a major in Marketing. My background in building, remodeling, and investing has given me a deep understanding of home value, design, and construction — knowledge I use to help clients make smart and confident decisions.
My husband and I live in the area with our two young daughters. We love staying active and attending local events around the Quad Cities. We also own several rental properties and are always working on our next home project, which keeps me closely connected to every aspect of homeownership.
I’m also proud to work with Aspen Homes as a co-listing agent for Ivy Acres in Eldridge and Tanglewood Place in Bettendorf, two sought-after communities offering customizable new construction options. I’d love to share more about what makes these neighborhoods special and how to build your dream home here.
