From Real Estate Personal Assistant to CEO

Shawna Alt didn’t always picture herself leading one of Wisconsin’s largest real estate companies, but growing up, she was surrounded by the industry as her mom owned a brokerage. She took a job as a personal assistant at First Realty (later merged with Weber Realty to become First Weber) after college, and what began as an entry-level role turned into a journey of growth and leadership.

In 2022, she stepped into the role of CEO.

First Weber believes that buying or selling a home is more than a transaction — it’s a life-changing experience. That’s why the company combines technology with a personal touch, supporting agents with training, legal guidance and marketing tools so they can provide exceptional service to their clients. Its mission is to help its agents thrive so they can help their clients and communities do the same.

The First Weber Foundation has contributed more than $4 million to Wisconsin nonprofits. Funded by donations and matching company contributions, the foundation supports a range of causes — from food banks to disaster relief.

What I love most about my job is helping our agents achieve their goals. When they succeed, their communities thrive — and that’s what it’s all about.
— Shawna Alt
