As first-time homebuyers we found Shawn to be an excellent fit for us. As far as neighborhoods, Shawn kept our tastes/preferences in mind and introduced us to a variety of neighborhoods that we would not have otherwise explored. We easily found a number of homes we liked and as soon as we were ready to make an offer, Shawn was very knowledgeable in appraisal issues, which helped us make a reasonable initial offer. During our inspection a number of issues arose. Shawn helped us discern issues that were important to address with the seller versus the issues that could potentially hurt our offer. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with our new home. Our experience with Shawn was beyond our expectations and we absolutely recommend his service to others.
