About My Journey
Welcome to my real estate journey! I'm Brian Chaney, a proud Kentucky native. Growing up on a farm in Jackson County, I developed a strong work ethic and a genuine appreciation for the beauty of rural landscapes. While the fields and barns of my youth hold a special place in my heart, I've transitioned my love for community and connection into the dynamic world of real estate.
​
After earning my degree in accounting from the University of the Cumberlands in 2008, I pursued and secured a Master's in Business Administration in 2009. Armed with a solid educational foundation, I embarked on a fulfilling career in the electric utility business, accumulating over 15 years of experience in the industry. This journey allowed me to refine my problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence – qualities that seamlessly translate into my role as a real estate professional.
​
On a personal note, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been married to the most wonderful wife for over 15 years. As a proud father of three remarkable boys, family is the heartbeat of my life. Their unwavering support has been the driving force behind my ambitions and endeavors. In addition to relishing precious moments with my family, I find immense joy in passionately cheering for my beloved UK Wildcats and the Tennessee Titans. Beyond sports, I am an avid reader with a profound love for delving into the pages of history and fiction, continuously seeking to broaden my knowledge and understanding.
​
In 2023, I embraced a new challenge by obtaining my real estate license. Joining the esteemed team at Shawn Rogers Realty Inc., I am thrilled to channel my passion for connecting with people and my in-depth knowledge of the region into helping individuals find their dream homes. Each transaction is an opportunity to combine my professional expertise with a personal touch, ensuring a smooth and rewarding real estate experience for my clients.
