Adam Williams

Broker/Owner

Adam Williams, originally from Louisiana, transitioned into real estate after a career in Information Technology Management within the banking and telecommunications industries. After purchasing and managing several rental properties of his own, Adam recognized a strong need for professional, reliable property management services for landlords.

He studied Business Administration and Computer Information Systems at the University of Louisiana at Monroe and began working in real estate in 2011. Over the years, Adam has helped grow both a previous co-owned company and Direct Realty into the successful property management firm it is today. He is Co-Owner and business partner with his wife, Shannon, and together they lead the company by combining complementary skills, a shared vision, and efficiently dividing responsibilities to deliver exceptional service to clients and tenants alike.

Adam is a Licensed Real Estate Broker in Texas and a member of the National Association of Realtors, Texas Association of Realtors, and MetroTex Association of Realtors. His background in technology and operations helps drive efficient systems, clear communication, and scalable growth within the company.

Adam lives in the Dallas–Fort Worth area with Shannon, their two children, and their two dogs. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time on their small ranch, where he recently went through a complete remodel project of the home to meet their needs better. He loves supporting his children in school activities, enjoying family time, and cooking or grilling when he can. 

Shannon Williams

Associate Broker/Owner

Shannon Williams, originally from Flagstaff, Arizona, began her real estate career after being introduced to property management through her husband and business partner, Adam. After experiencing frustration in her previous career field, Shannon transitioned into property management at Adam’s encouragement, where her attention to detail and problem-solving skills quickly proved to be a natural fit.

Shannon earned her Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology through the University of Texas at Arlington in partnership with Tarleton State University. She obtained her real estate license in 2016, working in leasing, buying, and selling residential properties. In 2018, she and Adam founded Direct Realty as business partners, and she earned her Texas Broker’s License in 2021.

With a background in science, Shannon brings a detail-oriented and analytical approach to contracts, compliance, and troubleshooting. As a lifelong learner, she regularly pursues continuing education to stay current with real estate laws and industry changes. Her early experience in customer service helps her build strong tenant relationships and effectively manage conflict when it arises.

Shannon grew up in the Hurst-Euless-Bedford area, where her children now attend school, and community involvement is very important to her. Direct Realty proudly supports local schools, including sponsorships of the Harwood Junior High Band and Trinity High School Band. Shannon previously served as President of the Trinity High School Volleyball Booster Club and currently participates in the Trojan Talk Mentorship program at Trinity High School, meeting monthly with students to discuss real-world topics and provide support.

Shannon and Adam work together as business partners, combining complementary strengths to lead Direct Realty efficiently and effectively. She is the proud mother of a son who is a senior in high school and a daughter who is a sophomore and active in club volleyball. At home, their family recently adopted a bonded pair of a German Shepherd and a Chocolate Lab, who keep everyone entertained with their energy and antics.
