I've worked with Shawn selling and buying property. I'm demanding and have high expectations. Shawn was the perfect realtor in both scenarios. He was always available to take my calls and answer questions and returned phone calls and emails with extreme promptness. He did research in my areas of interest when buying and on recent similiar sales when I was selling. Shawn always came prepared with listing print outs, house/neighbourhood facts and a multitude of other useful information, he brought snacks and was delightful to go on housing tours with. Shawn kept me up to date on my interests and my property for sale. He always went above and beyond my expectations. He helped me sell my tough sale condo and found me the perfect home in my ideal neighbourhood. In all my years of real estate dealings, Shawn's performance and dedication far exceeds that of any other that I've worked with. His fantastic personality, dedication/catering to each of his clients and ruthless work ethic makes him an astounding realtor and I look forward to working with him on a continuing basis! read more

This was our third property transaction with Shawn. This time, we hired Shawn to sell our East Van condo. Shawn had initially acted as our buyer's agent when we bought several years prior. The property was tenanted and while our tenants were lovely, Shawn and his team did a great job of preparing the home for photos and video. He and his team brought in a collection of various items that were used to achieve a 'staged' look. The result was lovely. Shawn also worked very well with our tenants. This was important to us. The marketing all turned out very well. We were delighted with what we saw. The sale wasn't easy. The market was not on our side and our first offer collapsed. Shawn quickly brought us another offer and then a back-up offer. It wasn't an easy sale but Shawn was very persistent and didn't give up. In the end, we got the property sold in less than a month and we were relieved with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Shawn and will continue to use him to help us in achieving our real estate goals. read more

I was referred to Shawn through one of my best friends. At the same time that Shawn was helping me to sell my Marinaside investment property, we were also hunting for my first family home purchase. My experience with Shawn during this home search was excellent. He was responsive, friendly, and made the process as enjoyable as possible. Due to a competitive segment, our search was not without its challenges and bumps. However, Shawn collaborated with me and guided me, always with a sound and comprehensive strategy at every turn. I ended up buying a newer half duplex in East Van. It was competitive, but Shawn was so on top of things and knew what he was doing and we were successful. Shawn also set me up with a talented designer - a member of his West Haven Group team - and we are currently in the midst of planning a stunning renovation. The result will be gorgeous!. Shawn in an expert in his field and I would refer to him to anyone looking to buy and sell in Vancouver read more

Being somewhat new to Vancouver I really needed to find someone who would guide me through my first time home purchase. I also wanted someone who would take time to understand my needs, and be patient in the process. Shawn Brown was exactly what I was looking for. He went methodically through my needs and set out finding me my perfect home. He was always available for showings, questions and just to listen to whatever small detail I was obsessing over at that moment. He went as far as to help me conceptualize decorating and entertaining in the space, which in turn made me more and more excited as we got into the process. In the end I would not have wanted to deal with anyone else. After the purchase Shawn brought me to tears with his thoughtful housewarming gift, knowing how much I love to entertain he gave me something to take it to the next level! I carry Shawn's business cards with me like a proud parent and recommend him time and time again! read more

Shawn's efforts towards helping us find our new condo made (and continue to make) me feel guilty about the effort I put towards my own job. He worked tirelessly with us throughout the entire process and, despite our tendency to be a bit on the "picky" side, was nothing other than patient and supportive. He was also happy to educate us on all of the many steps involved in buying a condo, this being our first purchase. When the perfect place eventually did come along, he was quick to act, negotiated a surprisingly good deal for us, and we couldn't be happier with the result. We enjoyed the entire process with Shawn. I'm not really one to write these sorts of reviews, but I've done so here on my own initiative because, truly, I could not recommend him enough. He helped us achieve our real estate goals in an enjoyable fashion, and has even (unwittingly) motivated me to work a bit harder at my own day job! read more

I was referred to Shawn through a colleague who had worked with him before to list and sell her Vancouver condo. I was interested in purchasing an investment property to rent out. While I was not a first time buyer, this was my first investment property so I had a whole new set of factors to consider in order for the investment to be viable...and so that I could sleep at night! Shawn listened to my criteria and my primary objectives and showed me exactly what I needed, not only to help me understand my options, but to find the right place. He is very knowledgeable about the market and incredibly hard working. We found the right purchase in a timely fashion and my investment is performing well. No regrets! I will certainly work with Shawn again and highly recommend him to others looking to invest in real estate in Vancouver. read more

I was having difficulty finding an investment property that I was excited about. I had been looking for a while but the options that I was seeing just didn't feel right. A good friend who had used Shawn several times suggested that we all meet. Shawn came very prepared and had already selected his top three choice. For each one, he had created a cash flow analysis to demonstrate to me why these were his top picks and so that I could fully understand how the investment would work. I ended up loving one of them on the spot and immediately wrote an offer. I am pleased with what we got and I trust Shawn very much when it comes to my real estate dealings. He has also provided incredible assistance since the purchase, which is above and beyond. I would certainly refer him to anyone I know. read more

I rarely take the time to write online reviews aside from exceptional cases. Shawn's helped my family through many transactions with nothing short of fantastic results each time. He was friendly, professional, patient and endlessly supportive during our stressful home searches and sales. His real estate investment advice has helped us maximize our returns in the market. I was continually impressed by his depth of knowledge on what areas have been developing and being improved in order to best "ride the wave". I suspect we wouldn't have climbed the property ladder to our a Vancouver apartment we now live in and love without his help! After this long string of successful transactions, we owe Shawn our highest recommendation, and so will anyone lucky enough to retain his services! read more

I came across a special loft listing online that had all the makings of my dream condo. I wasn't working with a buyer's agent at the time and noted that Shawn was the listing agent. I asked a few colleagues at the time if they knew of Shawn and one knew him well and spoke very highly, so I made a viewing appointment with Shawn directly to view the loft. I loved the loft and wanted to take action right away, with Shawn's help. Shawn did a great job of working with both me and the seller to make the deal happen quickly and seamlessly for both of us. Shawn was easy and pleasant to work with. I will definitely work with Shawn in the future and I would recommend him to any of my friends, family, or co-workers who are looking to buy or sell in Vancouver. read more

I initially met Shawn through my close girlfriends. He had helped one of them with a new home purchase and at that time was actively helping another with a rental investment. We already owned a great condo on the North Shore, but was looking to purchase a pre-sale townhouse that was larger. It was a competitive market for buying at the time and the demand for what we wanted exceeded the supply. Shawn was amazing! He managed to use his expertise, and contacts and did a great job of getting us on the list quickly, and he then was very much on top of it with following up and keeping in close contact with the sales reps. In the end, we got the townhouse that we wanted, which completes soon and is looking great. I highly recommend Shawn! read more

I decided after 17 years of owning a very successfull salon The Room on Arbutus St that it was time to sell. I saw that Shaun was selling another salon downtown so I contacted him to sell mine. He told me that only 9% of salons sell in Vancouver. He had numerous interested parties within a few days and sold my hair salon within a week and for the FULL asking price! I highly reccommend Shaun for any type of real estate as he really worked hard for me and did his homework . Selling a hair salon is not easy but he not only made the transition a lot easier for me he did it with grace and integrity . Thanks Shaun for making this possible for me and most of all for listening. You are a great real estate agent!!! read more

I was referred to Shawn from a contact who had observed Shawn's performance on a listing in the Commercial Drive area. We instantly trusted Shawn and could sense he was an expert in what he does. He guided us in preparing our Kits condo for sale. We changed out appliances, did flooring, fully re-painted, and added new light fixtures. The choices that Shawn helped us to make turned out great. Shawn's staging was awesome. We felt that Shawn's marketing was gorgeous and he set things up perfectly for a bidding war. His plan worked and we were thrilled with the condition-free offer at a high selling price. We would certainly recommend Shawn as a skilled listing agent and a friendly person to work with read more

Shawn helped my partner and I find our perfect home in Vancouver. I have since recommended him to anyone I know that is in the real estate market. You will not meet someone that will work harder for you. His charisma and energy was vital in getting us through so many showings. When it came down to closing the deal, Shawn effortlessly guided us through the paperwork. We were told that it was Shawn's description of us in giving the presentation to the seller that convinced them to close with us. He really gets to know his clients and strives to meet their needs on all levels. I have no plans of moving, but in a heart beat I would work with Shawn again. read more

Shawn assisted us in purchasing a couple investment properties downtown Vancouver. We found him to be knowledgable and to have a good grasp on the different buildings and the different neighbourhoods within each area. These properties were subsequently renovated and Shawn stepped in on many occasions to consult on the projects to to watch out for our best interests. We found Shawn to be skillful and caring in his approach to property searching and property evaluating. I would recommend Shawn to anyone looking to buy an investment property. He has plenty of experience doing this and value to finding these opportunities. read more

I'm currently looking for a property in Victoria, and Shawn has been instrumental in setting me up for success.

I'm confident that I will find my perfect home; and since Shawn is a delight to spend time with, I'll have fun along the way.
