Shanda Norton
Sales Agent
Shanda Norton was born and raised in Colorado. She graduated from Meeker High School and married her high school sweetheart later that fall. Her husband completed his training with the Colorado Police Academy and they moved to Monte Vista CO, located in the San Luis Valley, for him to start his career in Law Enforcement. He excelled and was later elected Sheriff of Rio Grande County. He served the community for 30 years and has recently retired from Law Enforcement. They raised 2 beautiful daughters in Del Norte CO that are the lights of their life and now have 2 beautiful Grandson’s that keep them on their toes! They purchased property in Del Norte CO and owned and operated a small farm where they raised herford cattle and butcher hogs. “Our farm was a fun place to visit. We had all sorts of critters; quarter horses, miniature horses, miniature pigs, chickens, large sized pigs, cows, a parrot named Paco, parakeets, fish, cats, 6 dogs, turtles, and numerous small critters over the years. It was a lot of fun and taught our children how to care for and nurture animals”.
Shanda was a licensed Realtor in Colorado for many years and when her husband retired from law enforcement they decided to move to Idaho. She says, “We chose to live in Orofino Idaho because it is surrounded by so much recreational area, and it is so pretty here”. Shanda attended the North Idaho Real Estate Academy in Coeur d’Alene Idaho and joined our United Country Steelhead Realty team in Orofino. Shanda’s favorite part of being a Realtor is helping people find their dream property. Shanda specializes in home and recreational properties but also loves helping people find investment and timberland properties. Being able to continue her career in Real Estate after moving to Idaho was an easy decision for her. It is important in life to find a job that you love to do and every day is a
vacation here! Shanda loves the outdoors and spending time with her family. Hunting, camping, boating, riding horses and ATV’ing are some of the outdoor actives she likes to do. Shanda and her family purchased a home on property that borders public land and they can be found either horseback riding or ATV’ing right out their back door. Shanda says,”With the Dworshak Reservoir, Clearwater River and Snake River all within a few minutes of our home and being able to border public land is why we chose to live here. I want to help other families find their dream property here too. Orofino is truly one of Idaho’s best kept secrets. Being able to hunt rocky mountain elk, white tail deer, fish for small mouth bass at Dworshak
Reservoir and for steelhead while boating on the Clearwater River and working within a few minutes of my home are what my dreams were made of and I would love to help other families find their dream here too. Every day I wake up and look outside and think, I must still be dreaming!”
