Dineen Shanstrom
Candidate for 2025
CDAR Board of Directors
I'm Jared;
a leader, learner, navigating towards the future.
I’m running for the position of board of Director of CDAR because I want to be a catalyst that moves our industry towards the future, and a resource for those around me. I believe it’s important to be involved in our industry if we want it to continue to be successful, and that we must be proactive in guiding our industry through the dynamic changes it faces. I am excited for the opportunity to contribute my experience to our association. Having served on both the MLS and Government Affairs committees, I’ve gained unique insight and understanding of the issues impacting our profession. As a participant of CDAR’s Leadership Academy, I’ve further enhanced my knowledge of the industry and I’m ready to implement the experience I have at my disposal to represent our members interests.
CDAR is the foundation of our real estate community in the Coachella Valley. Its influence can be seen through our region and beyond, shaping policies, fostering relationships, and driving excellence in our industry. If elected as Director, I pledge to advocate for the collective voice of our members, back initiatives that promote sustainable growth, and uphold our current standards of integrity, ethics, and professionalism.
With your support we can navigate the changing real estate landscape with confidence. I am honored to stand for this position and thankful for your support in this endeavor.
A bit about myself:
To sum myself up in a few words: I’m a dad, a husband, a traveler, a student, and of course, I am a REALTOR®.
My professional career started with 10 years in the hotel industry. I worked my way up the corporate ladder, from front office and housekeeping, to events & sales. I fell in love with travel when I left the country for the first time to study abroad in Granada, Spain. After graduating from Eastern Washington University with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration focused in Marketing, and a Minor in International Business, my wife and I embarked on an eight-month trip around the world. Part of our trip included the Camino de Santiago, a 500 mile walk across Northern Spain, and four months in India and Southeast Asia. I treasure this part of my life, as it cemented my love for travel and forged a major part of who I am today.
Last year my wife and I welcomed our first child into the world, and I am so thankful to work in an industry that allows me to choose my own schedule and be there for the little moments that matter the most.
I still say that I’m a student, even though I graduated years ago, because I have a thirst for knowledge. I’m constantly working to improve myself. Either by taking continuing education courses, learning about other cultures when I travel to new places, learning from those around me or learning from my own mistakes. I am always ready to find a better way to do something and not one to say no new ideas.
