Meet Austin Shadburn | Commercial Agent

We are excited to introduce Austin Shadburn, Commercial Agent. With 13 years of industrial maintenance experience, deep local roots, and a hands-on problem-solving approach, Austin brings a practical perspective and genuine community commitment to commercial real estate.

Spencer/Hines Properties is growing—and we couldn’t be more excited about who’s joining the team. Austin Shadburn officially came on board as a Commercial Agent in May 2026, and his background is anything but typical for real estate. That’s exactly what makes him stand out.

Austin has spent over a decade sharpening skills that translate directly into what clients need most. Someone who listens, thinks critically, and gets things done.

Who Is Austin Shadburn?

Austin is a Spartanburg County native through and through. He grew up here, built his life here, and has a genuine appreciation for the people, places, and traditions that define the Upstate. That kind of local knowledge isn’t something you can learn from a brochure. It comes from years of lived experience in the community.

Before stepping into commercial real estate, Austin spent 13 years working in industrial maintenance and repair. That career taught him how to diagnose problems quickly, think on his feet, and deliver practical solutions under pressure.

Away from work, Austin is a husband of 10 years and the proud father of two boys. Family is central to how he operates—both at home and in how he approaches his work with clients. He’s also an avid outdoorsman with a particular love for time at the coast. He has previously served as a committee member of the South Carolina Waterfowl Association’s Spartanburg Chapter, a role that reflects his commitment to the state he calls home.

What Austin Brings to Commercial Real Estate at Spencer/Hines Properties

A Hands-On, Problem-Solving Mindset

Thirteen years in industrial maintenance means Austin has seen complex problems from every angle. He understands how buildings work—mechanically, structurally, and operationally. For clients navigating commercial transactions, that practical foundation is a real asset. Austin can engage meaningfully with property details that others might overlook. He approaches every challenge with a methodical, solutions-first attitude.

Deep Roots in Spartanburg County

Local knowledge matters in commercial real estate. Understanding which areas are growing, which businesses are anchoring new developments, and how the community is evolving gives clients a meaningful edge. Austin has spent his entire life in Spartanburg County, and that familiarity shapes how he advises and supports the people he works with.

A Genuine Commitment to the Community

Austin isn’t just working in this community—he’s invested in it. His previous involvement with the South Carolina Waterfowl Association’s Spartanburg Chapter speaks to a broader pattern: he shows up, he contributes, and he cares about outcomes beyond his own. That same spirit carries into his real estate work, where he takes pride in seeing Spartanburg County continue to grow and thrive.

An Approachable, Trustworthy Style

Commercial real estate can be complex and, at times, high-stakes. Having an agent who is straightforward, easy to talk to, and genuinely focused on your goals makes a significant difference. Austin’s personality makes him the kind of professional clients feel comfortable calling with questions at any stage of a transaction.
