Recently I was involved in two condo sales and a house purchase. I worked with Shawn on each of these transactions. One the two sales, Shawn and his team did a great job on the staging and marketing. The homes looked wonderful and inviting and all of the online and offline marketing pieces looked excellent. One sold in 9 days and the other one sold in 13 days, in a market that wasn’t hot. On the buy side, we worked well together and secured a great house for a good price. As a team, the experience went smoothly and we achieved strong results on each of the three properties.

I met Shawn at a showing at one of his listings. I didn’t yet have an agent, and Shawn was personable and very knowledgeable of the market. He was able to provide insight and guidance into home buying process, start to finish. And had a wealth of industry knowledge.

I was lucky enough that Shawn became my realtor after this. He was able to discern what was important to me in a home (from location, features, price point, etc.) and quickly set up several viewings. After each viewing Shawn guided me through further refining what I needed in a home. With this clear vision, he prepared to secure the home I loved, when found, by also having me referred to a mortgage broker (who's rates beat my own bank, and even shocked the lender I ended up with).

As a first time homebuyer, I would recommend Shawn because he was an effective teacher and made a stressful process seem much more straightforward and structured.

I was referred to Shawn and was looking for a condo on a tight budget. We could not find anything freehold, in a good building, and that was a good size. However, I was open to renovating. Shawn and his mortgage broker figured out a renovation financing option and Shawn and I found a fantastic North Van condo that fit my budget but needed a renovation. Shawn referred me to the designer and contractor, and the end result in a condo that is wroth notably more than what I spent on it, including the renovation. It’s also completely new on the inside and looks awesome. I would absolutely work with Shawn again.

Shawn helped me to sell my East Van condo recently. It was tenanted and facing a huge upcoming project. Shawn worked well with my tenant, and no issues arose relating to showings and access. They two collaborated well together. Shawn also approached the big project in a way that comforted buyers: he had all of the information and drawings prepared, and demonstrated the buyers the positive side of getting this project completed. Shawn was able to get the property sold within 9 days and for the highest $/sqft in the building’s history. I would definitely recommended him!

We worked with Shawn to find a property that would compel us to leave the one we had been living in for quite some time. We had been looking for several years, without success. It was difficult finding something that offered enough space for our budget. However, Shawn found something that offered us space both inside and out that made a lot of sense. With his help, we acted on it immediately and Shawn helped us to secure it before others viewed the property. It’s been a good fit for us and a rare type of property.

We worked well with Shawn and would recommend. We never felt any pressure from him to put offers in on properties that weren't a good fit and he was extremely honest and highlighted pros and cons of each property. We have worked with other realtors in the past and I can say that Shawn stood out above the rest. We felt like he really cared about finding us the right property, not just a property. He was patient when we had doubts and acted quickly when we needed him to.

I worked with Shawn to purchase a family house in Chilliwack. Shawn was very quick to respond and together we secured a sought-after house on the first day in hit the market. Shawn collaborated well with the other side, persuading them to take our offer vs waiting for others to view the house. We also reviewed inspection results together and felt that dialogue both taught us what we needed to know, while keeping things in perspective. I would definitely recommend Shawn!

My wife and I worked with Shawn to purchase a condo in Olympic Village. We found that working with Shawn made our experience efficient, straightforward, and we found him to be responsive and he got us what we needed, when we needed it. I would recommend Shawn to others and would work with him again!

I recently worked with Shawn as my buyer's agent. My partner and I were looking for a 2-bedroom condo in East Van and we retained Shawn to help us. From the outset, Shawn knew what he was talking about, and it was clear he had a lot of experience. For what we were looking for, the market was highly competitive. But, as a group, we had a good plan. Fairly early on, we found a property that we felt would be a good buy. Our offer initially wasn't accepted as the sellers felt they could get more, but Shawn was persistent and submitted our offer two more times over the following 2 weeks. On the third try, the sellers caved and came down substantially - enough that we decided to move forward. Our subject removal period went very smoothly, and we are about to close on our new home! I would recommend Shawn to anyone looking for strong real estate expertise in the Vancouver market.
