His journey is a unique blend of entrepreneurship, impactful leadership, and even a touch of Hollywood. Shawn launched his independent brokerage, Strive Realty, in early 2020. In just four years, he grew the company to more than 80 Agents, establishing a reputation built on service, culture and high-impact leadership. In June 2024, Shawn made a strategic move—merging Strive Realty with United Real Estate DFW Properties. His Agents joined him in the transition, gaining access to expanded tools, national-level resources and a trusted leadership team.  > *“For me, the United merger was about providing more for my Agents—more support, more brokers to lean on, more opportunities to grow,”* Shawn shared. *“Having leadership I can call or text any time makes a big difference.”* But Shawn’s good news doesn’t end with real estate. This year, he also stepped briefly into the world of television. After being nominated by fellow local business leaders, Shawn was selected to appear as an extra in a major production—landing a spot in the opening of Landman Season 2!  ## What surprised him most? The scale and intensity behind the scenes. > *“We were there for around 16 hours just to film a one-and-a-half-minute clip,”* Shawn said. *“It really shows how much time, energy, people and money go into creating even the smallest moment of a full production.”*  > > While he’s not planning a career change, Shawn says he’ll *“never turn down a good opportunity.”* From growing companies to growing communities—and now even gracing TV sets—Shawn’s story is a testament to leadership, momentum, and saying yes to what’s next. We’re proud to have him as part of the United Real Estate Family of Companies and excited to support his continued growth and success.  #WeAreUnited   # Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Finfo.unitedrealestate.com%2Fblog%2Freal-estate-real-growth-and-a-little-hollywood](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Finfo.unitedrealestate.com%2Fblog%2Freal-estate-real-growth-and-a-little-hollywood) ## Keep reading ### [![](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/United%20Spotlight-30%20(1).jpg?width=2500&height=1308&name=United%20Spotlight-30%20(1).jpg) Teamwork Tuesday Keeps Collaboration, Growth, and Culture Thriving at Pearson Smith Realty](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/blog/teamwork-tuesday-keeps-collaboration-growth-and-culture-thriving-at-pearson-smith-realty) ### [![](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shawnee%20Doherty%20Good%20News%20Story.jpg?width=2500&height=1308&name=Shawnee%20Doherty%20Good%20News%20Story.jpg) National Recognition for Shawnee Doherty's Community Impact](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/blog/national-recognition-for-shawnee-dohertys-community-impact) ### Family of Companies ![white logos group\_URE](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/white%20logos%20group_URE.png?width=243&height=156&name=white%20logos%20group_URE.png) ![white logos group\_CRR](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/white%20logos%20group_CRR.png?width=243&height=156&name=white%20logos%20group_CRR.png) ![white logos group\_VPR](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/white%20logos%20group_VPR.png?width=243&height=156&name=white%20logos%20group_VPR.png) ![white logos group\_Leading Edge](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/white%20logos%20group_Leading%20Edge.png?width=243&height=156&name=white%20logos%20group_Leading%20Edge.png) ![white logos group\_Benchmark](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/white%20logos%20group_Benchmark.png?width=243&height=156&name=white%20logos%20group_Benchmark.png) ![white logos group\_TUR](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/white%20logos%20group_TUR.png?width=243&height=156&name=white%20logos%20group_TUR.png) ![Pearson Smith Logo white](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pearson%20Smith%20Logo%20white.png?width=243&height=156&name=Pearson%20Smith%20Logo%20white.png) ![white logos group\_Gallery](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/white%20logos%20group_Gallery.png?width=243&height=156&name=white%20logos%20group_Gallery.png) ![white logos group\_Platnum](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/white%20logos%20group_Platnum.png?width=243&height=156&name=white%20logos%20group_Platnum.png) ![white logos group\_PPR](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/white%20logos%20group_PPR.png?width=243&height=156&name=white%20logos%20group_PPR.png) ![white logos group\_MORE](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/white%20logos%20group_MORE.png?width=243&height=156&name=white%20logos%20group_MORE.png) ![Allison James\_white w crest](https://info.unitedrealestate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Allison%20James_white%20w%20crest.png?width=14928&height=2847&name=Allison%20James_white%20w%20crest.png) --- Privacy Policy · Legal · © 2025 United Real Estate.
