Shawn Langan
Vice President/Director | Commercial Real Estate Advisor
NAI Ruhl Commercial Company, Davenport, Iowa

With more than 25 years of business leadership and commercial real estate experience, I help business owners, investors, developers, landlords, and tenants make smarter commercial real estate decisions. As a Vice President/Director at NAI Ruhl Commercial Company, I represent clients in the Quad Cities region, Eastern Iowa, and Western Illinois.  I have closed over 675 sales and lease transactions, driving over $140 million in career deal volume. I serve my clients by giving honest advice, communicating clearly, following through, and always looking for the smartest path forward. My goal isn’t simply to complete a transaction. It’s to become a trusted advisor and earn the next call.

Before entering real estate, I helped lead two successful flooring businesses. Overseeing operations for companies that each generated more than $4.5 million in annual sales fundamentally shapes my approach to tenant representation and site selection. Today, I leverage that experience to help local and national clients with their property decisions. I have guided national brands like Dave & Buster's, Jimmy John's, Oak Street Health, and Five Below on their regional expansion.

My commitment to exceptional service and transaction success has earned recognition including the CREXi Platinum Broker Award from 2022 through 2025, as well as NAI Ruhl Commercial Associate of the Year, multiple Top Producer and Top Lister recognitions, Excellence in Customer Service honors, and Million Dollar Club awards. I stay actively engaged in the commercial real estate industry through membership in the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) and attendance at national ICSC and NAI Global conferences.
