Franco Shamoo
With over 25 years of experience in corporate finance and a proven track record in real estate marketing, Franco Shamoo brings unparalleled expertise and insight to every client he serves at The Shamoo Team. Operating locally in Newport Beach, across Orange County and Los Angeles County, Franco combines deep market knowledge with strategic financial acumen to deliver exceptional results.
As the former manager of a nationally recognized direct-lender office in Orange County, Franco mastered high-impact marketing campaigns across social media, radio, print, and direct mail. This expertise enables him to craft targeted, data-driven strategies that maximize demand, drive qualified traffic, and position properties for top-dollar sales, while identifying the best opportunities for buyers at the right price.
Franco's extensive background in real estate finance gives clients a distinct advantage in navigating loan options tailored to their specific needs. His lending experience also equips him to guide buyers and investors through complex transactions, including investment properties, bank-owned assets, and commercial real estate.
Notably, Franco has successfully closed more than 500 distressed properties—including short sales and luxury distressed homes—providing critical negotiation skills and creative structuring to help clients secure ideal deals even in challenging markets.
Alongside his wife, Jennifer, Franco joined Shamoo Real Estate Group at Innovate Realty to deliver white-glove luxury service, unmatched financial guidance, and innovative solutions through one of the industry's most forward-thinking brokerages.
A 20-year resident of Newport Beach, Franco is passionate about helping clients achieve their real estate dreams—whether buying, selling, or investing in the region's premier properties.
Outside of real estate, Franco enjoys adventure travel with Jennifer and their two children, competing in triathlons, marathons, CrossFit, and Strongman events, and speaking fluent Assyrian.
Franco is committed to building lasting relationships and looks forward to partnering with you to create a successful future in real estate.
