Robert (Rob) Shaw Reviews

Rob went above and beyond to assist me with my complicated buying situation. He was very both professional and personable.

If you are looking for a realtor that goes above and beyond, call Rob. I can't say enough good things about him. I purchased my home with Rob and he constantly went above and beyond any expectations that I had of any realtor. This guy is truly amazing and you definitely want him in your corner. He is kind, thoughtful and his understanding of real estate is exceptional. Even though I was in a different province, he helped me through each and every step of the way and made sure that I understood everything. Rob doesn't treat you like a number, he treats you like a person and actually cares. I will 110% use Rob again as my agent.

Rob was so helpful always patient even when we were not clear what we did wanted. When there were problems he always sought solutions. When you are moving to a new community it is great to have someone as knowledgeable as Rob on your team.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Rob. As first time homebuyers, we went in with little knowledge of the home buying process and were overwhelmed to jump right in. Rob answered all questions while guiding us and giving relevant tips to make this process seamless. At the very beginning, he took the time to break everything down step-by-step and made us feel more at ease to dive into this process with him. Not once did he ever make us feel pressured to close on a deal. His patience, kindness, dedication, & expertise is what really made this experience enjoyable. We would recommend Rob to anyone!

Rob helped us sell my parents home. We had run into some unexpected issues and Rob helped navigate everything. Rob expertly guiding us when dealing with potential buyers and their agents.

We had a fantastic experience working with Rob Shaw and can’t recommend him enough to anyone buying or selling on the North Island. After a frustrating start with other realtors—missed opportunities, poor communication, and pressure to settle—we were referred to Rob when a property we liked dropped in price. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He arrived early, had everything ready, pointed out issues we hadn’t noticed (even security cameras!), and encouraged us to negotiate hard, which he clearly enjoys. He researched comparable sales, shared them with the listing agent, and helped us submit a strong offer. When the inspection came back with major concerns, Rob joined us on-site, climbed the roof with the inspector, and helped us ask the right questions. In the end, we decided to walk away, but Rob never pressured us and made us feel completely supported. Next, he listed our home—and again, he went above and beyond. He helped stage it, decluttered, rearranged furniture, and brought in a professional media team for photos, drone shots, and a virtual tour. The listing looked amazing and we got multiple offers within a week, selling near asking price. We still needed to find a new place, and the pressure was on. Rob was relentless—texting new listings within minutes, canceling personal plans to get us in quickly, and scrutinizing every detail during showings. He checked crawl spaces, tested appliances, and flagged issues we’d have missed. Just as we were about to book an Airbnb, Rob found us a vacant acreage that checked all the boxes. The house was beautiful, the location ideal, and the property had room for a few critters. Even though it was newly listed, Rob encouraged a bold offer, and we negotiated a successful deal that made sense for both sides. Now, we’re living on our dream property in the Comox Valley, and we credit Rob for making it happen. He’s professional, quick to respond, detail-oriented, and deeply knowledgeable—but more than that, he made us feel like friends, not just clients. He doesn’t just open doors—he works like he’s finding a home for his own family. If you want someone who truly has your back and knows how to get deals done, Rob’s your guy.
