ZillowVERIFIEDThe entire process of selling our house was flawless. I would highly recommend using Shawn and his team when looking to purchase or selling a home. From the offer to closing was very fast and there were no issues.

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn was great from the start. Uses the latest technology to help sell his homes. He sold our house in 10 days. Lastly, his team has the best communication and they are quick to respond.

ZillowVERIFIEDBarb Truchan was the best. We are on our 7th property and would not consider using anyone else moving forward. All viewings were set to accommodate our schedules as well as closing. She made everything a snap. I'm sure Shawn Spaw is happy to have her on his team.

ZillowVERIFIEDFirstly, Shawn's response time to any and all communications was amazing. Not only the initial communications to lock in a customer, but throughout the entire home selling experience he was very responsive and timely with any requests we had. Shawn has helped us and other members of our family and will hopefully continue to do so in the future.Thank you,The Schmitt Family

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn was very helpful as we went about buying our first house. He knew a lot about the housing market in the area, and was really good about offering his insight and expertise to help us through various issues that came up throughout the process. He was very dedicated, and when we needed something we were basically able to get in touch with him quickly 24/7 (or so it seemed). We had several late night and weekend phone calls when important decisions had to be made and documents signed/sent ASAP. Speaking of documents, whenever we made a major decision such as an offer, counter-offer, inspection report, etc, Shawn would have the documents prepared and sent over for digital signature usually within minutes - being able to get that stuff done so quickly was really nice. Even when Shawn wasn't personally available, someone from his team was always able to help us when we needed something. Shawn was also able to recommend reputable contractors and other services that became necessary along the way - everything from home inspection to trash pickup to chimney repair.

ZillowVERIFIEDI put my home on the market just as winter was coming, in a stock market downturn, a housing market slowdown, and with interest rates climbing. And...it was in a price range that doesn't move fast. It was not looking good. I was working with another realtor who was proactive and sharp, but I wasn't getting viewings or offers. I asked Shawn to look at it for me. I was immediately impressed by the detailed and insightful report he delivered (It was 64 pages of high quality analysis, compared to the sparse 2-3 page reports his competition produced). It gave me enough information to make better decisions about pricing in the current market. I switched to him immediately. Shawn and his team did far more in marketing my home than the previous realtor had done. Within the month we had a good offer on the home and the sale is now closed. Shawn knows the market, is quick to respond, is an excellent advisor, and utilizes better, and more thorough tools than any of the competition I interviewed.Thank you Shawn Spaw and team!!

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn has been an exceptional Real Estate Agent. We bought our house with him and we liked him so much we asked him to sell it as well. He would help us with every little thing that we needed with no complaints. He even went over on a late night to crack the pipes when there was a winter advisory for extremely cold temperatures. We were out of state selling our home and get got it sold fast and was fair and honest with us through every step. He always stayed in contact and we knew we could count on him. He always offered great advise and I highly recommend Shawn as your Real Estate Agent. He is one that will always go above and beyond and you will never be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIEDI found Shawn to be very responsive to every question or concern that I had. I felt secure that our house would be sold because we had hired Shawn as our realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are out of town buyers, and have been working with Shawn for the last eight months to try and locate two properties. We are looking for something specific, and Shawn has been available to show us properties on a number of occasions when we have flown in to town. We recently bought a property for my wife's mother, and thanks to Shawn's suggestion, moved very quickly to enable us to secure the property which had significant interest.

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn Spaw was recommended to me by a long-time friend and community member. Shawn worked diligently, in a tight real estate market, to find a place that met (and exceeded) my needs - all at a reasonable price. Shawn has also provided innumerable recommendations regarding local/regional businesses, trades professionals, restaurants, utilities providers, and recreational opportunities. You won't do better than working with Shawn Spaw on your real estate transaction, whether buying or selling.

ZillowVERIFIEDWould highly recommend the Shawn Spaw team. They make selling quick and painless. Great team! Shawn is wonderful!! Shawn immediately responded to all my questions. He made us feel like we were his only seller. My family lost both of my parents this last year. We had to sell their home. Shawn made this horrible time actually a great experience. He made us feel like family. The couple that bought my parents home are so sweet, I hope they love their new home as much as my parents did. Thanks again Shawn and the Shawn Spaw team. You guys are the best!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had the pleasure working with Darlene from the Shawn Spaw Team. AMAZING!!! She was extremely easy to contact Day/Night Weekdays/Weekends it did not matter! We sold our house "by owner" and ended up having the Shawn Spaw team conduct the sale of our house which made it a very smooth process when we bought our new house. Darlene went above and beyond all expectations, I wish I wanted to buy more houses just to work with her again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn was awesome to work with. We interviewed 3 realtors. Shawn was the last one. Once we met with him, we knew his knowledge couldnt be topped. He knew somebody that would be interested in our house before we even listed it. I understand that most sales dont go that way but Shawn showed his hard work and professionalism while we searched for a new home. He was able to get showings for us in as little as 30 minutes. I cant imagine using a different realtor than Shawn Spaw.

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn and his team were great from start to finish. My wife and I are new to Valparaiso and this was our first home. Shawn walked us through everything and made the process as easy as possible. He also had the best communication of anyone I have worked with, which is very important to me. He was always quick to respond whenever I had a question or concern. I highly recommend Shawn!

ZillowVERIFIEDFirst time home buyer and the process was pretty scary considering it was the biggest decision I've ever had to make. Amy and Shawn (Shawn Spaw team) made the process simple for me. After going to see several houses and looking at even more online, Amy was able to narrow down the search and find houses that matched my criteria. Finally we found a house that was perfect for me!Even a month later she checked in on me to make sure everything was going well, and to answer any questions I had. She is always quick to respond and get answers. I never had trouble scheduling a time that worked for me to see houses.

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn Spaw and his team did a great work and we are pleased with their efforts. Shawn's staff was very friendly, and during the process of finding and selling our homes they were responsive to our requests. We highly recommend this team! It was also wonderful working with Stacy -she is part of Shawn's team-. She has a great energy and awesome attitude. If you are looking for a professional agent that is easy to communicate with, listens to your needs, and really cares for you, Stacy is the one! She will adjust to what is important for your family and do everything she can to find your perfect home. On the top of that, she will be your friend and your kids will love her. We highly recommend Stacy when you are looking for homes!

Review for Member: Shawn Spaw
ZillowVERIFIEDBeware. This agent not only mis quoted my tax amount (elevated 3 time the original amount) on my listing he listed the wrong tax information, lot description and lot size. He was so arrogant he wouldn't listen or correct the listing for over 8 months. I had to finally get my accountant involved to prove to Shawn with my tax returns what I paid for property tax. He finally changed the amount but never corrected the listing. He refused to allow us out of the agreement. His quote " I have invested to much into this listing to give my commission to another agent". Finally after involving the managing broker (who was respectful and helpful) we were allowed out of the contract after 10 months of our home lingering on the market with every perspective buyer thinking the taxes were 3 time higher than with the homestead exemption. During this process Shawn continually told my wife and I people were not making offers because the taxes were to high and we needed to lower our price. When the entire time he had listed the wrong information on our home. Today the home is now priced below the appraised value and people think there is something wrong with the home. We have now listed with a new agent/broker who now has to explain why my home gas sit on the market for almost a year and what happened with the incorrect information on the listing. People make mistakes but a real professional with accept and correct their mistakes. With Shawn Spaw he has yet to appolgise or admit anything wrong.

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn Spaw was masterful in selling our house. He is savvy in social media - able to target specific buyers for your house. As we got our house ready for sale, he recommended numerous excellent professionals who got the job done well and quickly. He was always immediately responsive during the high tension of negotiations, and he gave us great advice in the process. We closed on the house within 6 weeks of putting in on the market. Remarkable. I highly recommend Shawn, and know you will be in great hands with Shawn.

Purchasing a new home can often be stressful but she has made this process enjoyable and exciting. Great job Stacy and thank you!!

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn was very responsive from the moment we reached out to him. With us being on a tight deadline -- due to 1031 exchange, Shawn was familiar with the process and gathered information very promptly. With us looking for investment properties, Shawn and his team took time to address our questions regarding local market and providing objective data regarding the rental market. This was our fifth time purchasing a home and going through the process, but this was the first time I felt that the process and communication was easy; and Shawn took extra communication steps that many other Realtors don't. I want to thank Shawn and his team for his hard work and effort and I highly recommend using him as we will again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDIn the fall of 2015 we decided to relocate to the beautiful state of Montana, thereby needing to put our home on the market. A member of our family had previously sold their home and highly recommended their agent: Shawn Spaw. We contacted Shawn and set up an appointment to have him come and view our property. We met with Shawn and were impressed with his professionalism and his assurance that he would work hard to sell our home getting the highest selling price possible. We signed with Shawn that day. Our home sold relatively quickly and we were pleased to sell at the price we wanted for our home.

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn helped my husband and I find our first house. The experience from beginning to end was great. Shawn is the ideal realtor, in my opinion. He doesn't hover or push his opinions on you, but he is incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to help when you need it. His is very responsive and easy to get in contact with, even with short notice. He has a lot of contacts in the community and a great app that makes it very easy to find properties. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience and have already recommended him to everyone I know.

ZillowVERIFIEDStephanie Cowger was always available to meet at short notice and for that we are thankful. Her approach is very low pressure. Unfortunately she and Shawn Spawn were not available for closing due to conflicting closing schedules, however, an assistant attended and therefore we were able to proceed without delay. Thanks again for helping us with our cute 1920's bungalow purchase, in the heart of downtown Valpo. I'll be sending her photo updates on all the refurbishing.

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn & his Associate did a good job in pre-listing assessment and feedback. We did follow their advice and repaired ceilings and painted areas where peeling paint diminished the initial home appearance. House sold at full Listing Price in 1.5 days; my concern was that we had under valued the home by $5,000. Buyer told me the comparables showed we were priced "competitively". Darlene was helpful to the point of coming over to assist my wife in moving furnishings prior to our listing date. We appreciated her help a great deal.

ZillowVERIFIEDI contacted Shawn after seeing a positive review on a local recommendations site. They were absolutely right! Shawn met with me 24 hours after initially contacting him and came prepared with local market data. He was able to answer my questions regarding the process and I put my house up for sale the same day. We had several showings and after only two weeks we had our first offer. Everything happened so fast- we were able to sell our home in a little over a month. Shawn was in contact with me almost everyday and made this the best experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn sold our home in 5 weeks! We were very impressed on how many qualified potential buyers came to our home in such a short period of time which eventually led to multiple offers on our home. Shawn was also able to negotiate the best deal of a life time in the new purchase of our home. The deal was so great that when I went to file my homestead exemption the folks at the employees at the county assessor's office thought someone had incorrectly entered the wrong purchase price of my home so they had me show them proof of the mortgage purchase. Once they saw the mortgage paperwork they told me that I was very lucky to have purchased the home at that price.

Review for Member: Shawn Spaw
ZillowVERIFIEDWhen my wife and I began to think about selling our home we did our homework online and read several reviews while searching for a realtor. It appeared clear to us that Shawn was of the highest rated and consistently had excellent reviews. Our experience with Shawn was no different than what we had expected. He was very knowledgeable, and even educated us on the entire process of selling our home - which was extremely valuable to us being that it was our first home to sell. He helped us have a good understanding of what was most valuable about our home, and good advice for how to maximize its potential on the market. I was also particularly impressed with his agency's use of technology - including a website for our home, and a mobile app to notify us of upcoming showings so we could fit them in with our busy schedule. He was timely and responsive for anything we needed. If it were not for our family moving out of the state and out of his market, I'd have kept Shawn as our realtor for good.

ZillowVERIFIEDI interviewed several realtors before I choose Shawn to list my home for sale. Shawn is very knowledgeable of the housing market in the Northwest Indiana. He came to my home and suggested a selling price 10-15 thousand dollars over what the other relators suggested, I thought he was crazy. He showed me comparables that had sold in his suggested price range. We listed the home for 5 thousand less then the top price he suggested. IT SOLD IN 5 DAYS!!!!!! and for 2 thousand dollars more then the asking price. I highly recommend Shawn and his team at Coldwell Banker. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDShawn was a professional in every sense of the word. He knew from the time he walked into our home to the time we received multiple offers on what we needed to do to get the home sold fast and for what we were asking! We received multiple offers in less than 5 weeks which made us extremely happy that we were able to move on so fast and most importantly we did not have to pack the kids in the vehicle and leave the home for a showings any longer!

ZillowVERIFIEDAt first I had listed my condo with a different realtor who was very hard to contact and did not give me updates. When i switched to Shawn I could not have been more satisfied. Even though the property was not a big ticket item Shawn was constantly working to get it sold. He kept me well informed at all times and was easy to contact and very responsive. He offered good advice and got us a fair price. I HIGHLY recommend him.
