Engel & VA?lkers Oceanside

Buying my first home in Island Park was a dream come true, and I couldnt have done it without Sho the Realtor. From day one, Shos deep local knowledge of Portsmouths waterfront community really shined through. Finding a home in Island Park literally steps from the beach, Sho understood the excitement I had about the potential! It needed a some work/TLC, but that was exactly what I wanted. What really set Sho apart was his creativity and persistence. He helped me leverage a unique program that let me present what was effectively a cash offer. Even though the seller had other buyers in line, Shomari stayed in close contact and made sure I was ready the moment things fell through for them. Thanks to his connections and tenacity, I was able to secure the house smoothly and even got early access to prepare for my big move. If youre looking for a local expert who truly cares and knows how to get the job done, Sho is your guy. I truly couldnt be happier with my new beachside home!

Selling my home by owner in Island Park was a big decision, and having Sho the Realtor involved truly made the process seamless. Although he represented the buyer, Sho went out of his way to ensure that everything stayed on track and that my timeline was respected. He introduced a great program that allowed his buyer to come in with a cash-equivalent offer, which gave me the certainty I needed. Even when other buyers fell through, Sho was ready and ensured his client was prepared to move forward without a hitch. What really stood out was Shos personal touch. At the end of the transaction, he personally met with me to deliver the check, making sure everything was handled smoothly and on time. Shos professionalism, local expertise, and genuine care made this a great experience for me as a FSBO seller. I highly recommend him to anyone in our community.

I was relocating to Newport Naval Station on orders and needed a home secured before July 1st with very little time to make it happen. A friend recommended Sho and I am grateful every day that I made that call. Sho put together five showings in a single day across some of the most sought after neighborhoods on Aquidneck Island, from Common Fence Point in Portsmouth all the way through Middletown and into Newport. He came prepared with a personalized itinerary, had already filtered options to match my must-haves, and made sure every stop was worth our time. I needed to be close to the base, have room for my dog to roam, and have enough storage for a military move. Sho found all three in one place and had it secured before I had to fly back. If you are PCSing to Rhode Island, specifically the Newport, Middletown, Portsmouth, or East Bay area, do yourself a favor and reach out to Shomari Lewis at Engel & VA?lkers before you do anything else. He knows this market, he respects your timeline, and he will go to bat for you.

Sho was the buyer's agent every relocating military family hopes for! I found Sho on Zillow about a year before I was ready to buy while getting a feel for the area, and Sho stayed connected that whole time, pleasantly persistent even when things on my end got hectic. Sho connected me with a lender who was the absolute BEST, going through so many different plausible options for the best deal, got me approved, and was extremely knowledgeable and informative. When I bought my new construction home in Prescott Point in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, Sho negotiated upgrades into the build and helped me through every finish choice, all while I was across the country working to sell my other home. He was the most trusted advocate. When the listing agent retired mid transaction, Sho handled it seamlessly, staying on top of builder issues, walking the inspection with me multiple times, and coordinating a full team of professionals from lenders to attorneys. He makes himself highly available to you, is incredibly diligent, and a fantastic negotiator, and I couldn't recommend Sho more. Sho made the whole process feel fun rather than stressful, and he is 100% genuinely invested in being that side by side buying partner!

I cant recommend Sho the Realtor enough! He helped my family and I sell my parents three-family home in Dorchester, MA, and the entire process was seamless because of his efforts. Sho was incredibly thoughtful and compassionate, especially after my mothers passing during the transaction. He went above and beyond, even cooking for my father, and helping him around the house. Sho was amazing in handling the tenants, working with them to ensure smooth transitions, and securing a proper lease for one unit. He also had great connections to get the basement cleared out, which was a huge help. Even though I was out of state and acting as Power of Attorney, Sho made everything so easy. His professionalism and care for my family were truly exceptional. If youre looking for someone who can handle complex family situations with kindness and efficiency, Sho is the one!
