Robert (Rob) Shaw

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.
