Shawn provided me with no-nonsense, competent, ethical, quality services in a professional manner throughout my search and the transaction, which was handled in part remotely. He has deep knowledge of neighborhoods and values, and he always kept my interests and preferences in mind. Because I often was out of state, Shawn went above and beyond in taking care of details and ensuring that everything happened as it should when I could not. He’s an effective negotiator and communicator and conveys a realistic assessment of the situation. I did not purchase an expensive property, but I feel that I got the same service I would have if I had bought something three times the price. Shawn’s wife, Paula, is quite helpful with details and getting Shawn’s attention in the rare case he might be preoccupied with other matters. Buying a home is always stressful, but being represented by a competent realtor like Shawn minimizes that greatly and provides much needed reassurance. In my experience, he seemed less concerned with earning a commission than representing me effectively — a rare but essential aspect of a professional relationship with a client.
