Meet Shawn

Numbers Guy. People person. Ancaster and Hamilton's biggest fan.

When emotions and stakes are high, we all need a trusted advisor who is prepared, positive, patient and objective.

I'm a health professional by training and a real estate professional by choice, blending the two in a way that protects my clients and empowers them to make the best decisions with confidence. I'm a logical thinker and a people person—and it seems like the perfect combination of head and heart.

There's a reason why I consistently outperform the real estate board average*.

I know how the market works. I know how lenders think. I know my colleagues, both at RE/MAX and other brokerages. I know how to use technology to your advantage. And I know how to develop winning strategies in negotiations.  

Leave the market analyses, property comparisons, market predictions, buying and selling strategies to me—I'm good at them and will explain them so they make sense to you.

I love Ancaster, Dundas and Hamilton, particularly the west end of the city. Together we will spend as much time as you need to find the right home for you and your family. We will sell your current home for the best possible price, using strategy and street smarts.

Yes, it's about the destination. But I'll make sure we enjoy the journey, too.

What Clients Are Saying

I have purchased and sold through Shawn over the last several years. As a lawyer, I appreciate efficient communication and a REALTOR® who gets things done. Shawn lined us up with tradespeople to complete renovations, always offered extremely accurate market valuations for our property and responded on a dime to any questions we had. In 25 years of buying and selling and of dealing with real estate agents on a professional basis, I have never encountered such a level of professionalism and decency. He wants the deal but he clearly also wants to see client's happy following closing and is obviously in vocation for the long term. I cannot recommend Shawn highly enough.
