Professional, knowledgeable, punctual, honest and genuine are a few adjectives that come to mind when I mention Shawn. When we had questions about the details regarding the sale of our house he had all the answers! If he did not have an immediate answer, he found it then got back to us without delay. Shawn was 100% up front with us about everything, from how much we could expect to get from the sale, to our chances of selling in the middle of winter. He was positive from the very beginning that our home would sell and that he could move it quick. The house was on the market for less than a week and we had an offer! Shawn's positive attitude is evident from the moment you meet him. If you are looking to buy or sell, do not hesitate to give him a call!

Absolutely Above & Beyond our expectations! That's how I would describe Shawn & his team & the whole process of selling our house. My sister & I live out of State & from the moment I went to meet with Shawn & show him the property to the moment of the closing everything was so incredibly easy & professional. I would absolutely highly recommend Shawn & his team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Shawn and his team went above and beyond our expectations during the sale of our house. He consistently reassured us on all of our questions and concerns. He took great pictures of our house and sold it for more than we thought possible in a relatively short time span. We definitely recommend him and his Dream team!

Buying my first home was extreamly stressful for me. Shawn and his team were right there every step of the way making sure that I had all the information that I needed to make buying my home an awesome experience. Shawn and his team went the extra mile to make sure my nerves where calm through every little hiccup on the sellers side of things. He made home self available for every question I had and was one of the first people there at closing. Great job Shawn thank you
