Fairy Godmother

Shannon Engelbrecht, a.k.a the fairy godmother of real estate, is in the business of helping families purchase homes in San Francisco's high-priced market. After cashing in her stock options at the technology company she worked for, she decided to invest her small fortune in a way that was socially conciouss. By purchasing the buildings herself, and then providing her tenants with a lease-to-own contract she has given families a chance of realizing their dreams.
