    About Shawn Watson

    Hi, I'm Shawn Watson, co-founder of The Watson & Switzer Group at RE/MAX Northwest. I proudly serve clients across the dynamic Portland-Vancouver metro area and throughout the Willamette Valley--from Salem to Eugene. - With two decades of experience and over 1,000 clients served, I bring a strong foundation in real estate, marketing, and negotiation to every transaction. I hold a master's degree in Real Estate & Construction Management and a bachelor's in Business. - Before real estate, I served in the U.S. Coast Guard and worked as a K9 officer with the New Mexico State Police. I've also served as a city councilor and planning commissioner--roles that deepened my commitment to community and smart growth. - My business is built on referrals, and I'm proud to say that more than 90% of my clients come from trusted relationships and personal recommendations. My focus is simple: deliver great results, earn trust, and make the process as smooth and rewarding as possible. - I work closely with my partner, Daniel Switzer, who brings his creative energy and marketing expertise to every aspect of our business. With a background on Broadway and a master's degree in Communication: Social Media & Advertising, Daniel brings a vibrant, client-focused perspective to how we present and showcase each property--ensuring they stand out and leave an impactful impression on prospective buyers. - With offices in both Portland and Eugene, we're grateful for the opportunity to live and work throughout this diverse and welcoming region of the Pacific Northwest. We seamlessly share our time between the two places we call home--Portland and our family's second home in Lowell, Oregon, overlooking beautiful Dexter Lake, just outside of Eugene. - Whether you're buying, selling, or relocating within the region, we offer a highly personalized, inclusive, and relationship-driven approach to real estate. - I'd be honored to guide you through your real estate journey.

    I called Shawn to help sell my home after it had been sitting on the market for six months with no success. He quickly assessed the situation, suggested smart updates to make the property more appealing, and had it under contract within just a few weeks. Because I was living out of state, the process could have been stressful, but Shawn handled countless details, reminded me of things I would have overlooked, and kept everything on track. From the moment I hired him, I felt confident I was in good hands, and that feeling never waveredaEUR"even when unexpected challenges came up. I cant recommend Shawn highly enough. Every realtor I work with in the future will have to measure up to the standard he set!

    Shawn is great to work with. We have known him for years and he has helped us with selling two of our houses during that time. Hes never pushy; likes some realtors we have met in the past, but always helpful and super responsive. Hes also just a really, really nice guy. ?? I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

    I'm so glad Shawn was my realtor when I was buying my home in Oregon. He's a wealth of knowledge about the area and the real estate market, and he's always willing to go the extra mile for his clients. I was a first-time homebuyer, and I had a lot of questions. Shawn was always patient and understanding, and he took the time to answer all of my questions. He also helped me find the perfect home for my needs, and he negotiated a great price for me. I would highly recommend Shawn to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in Oregon. He's a great realtor, and he's a pleasure to work with!

    My partner and I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Shawn! From beginning to end, we could tell he had our best interest at heart. A true professional, Shawn took the time to understand our specific needs and preferences and made the entire home buying process a smooth one, something we are both so grateful for as first time home buyers. We appreciated his guidance and positivity during a difficult market. Overall, we feel incredibly grateful to have been able to work with Shawn. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property as his knowledge, professionalism, and exceptional service were second to none. We are grateful for the efforts he put into getting us our first home and could not be happier with the results. Thank you, Shawn!
