Robert (Rob) Shaw Reviews

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.

Great to work with. As our central point person, he helped guide us through everything; from how to interpret relevant findings in the inspection report, to helping us problem-solve our way through signing mortgage documents from the USA (probably helped more than the bank and broker). He had a calm cool approach to everything. We had 5 days in Campbell River to find a house before we moved and he lined everything up perfectly with a busy schedule that left us confident that we knew what was available in the market.

Rob was pleasant and easy to work with. He made purchasing our first home straight forward despite living out-of-province and working within considerable time constraints. He was always available for questions and was patient in guiding us through the process. He was exceptionally prompt and transparent with all communications. Overall I am quite happy with the services Rob provided as a realtor.

Rob was absolutely fantastic, I can not recommend him enough! He helped me navigate this new world of real estate and took the time and patience to listen to and answer all my questions. When the initial property I was interested in fell through he went above and beyond walking around the neighbourhood with me and reached out to contacts to see what else could potentially be available. I am so glad he was the real estate agent to help me achieve the first part of my dream of moving back to the island. Thank you Rob!

Rob provided an outstanding real estate purchase experience. He took the time to really understand my purchase must- haves, and delivered on these when we walked through a number of specific properties. Rob is passionate about being part of the Campbell River community, and possesses a deep knowledge of the area. There was no undue pressure and Rob was able to pivot to my changing needs, The end result of all these factor's, allowed me to make an informed real estate decision and purchase a property at a competitive price. Thanks Rob!

It was a great experience having Rob as our realtor for our move to Campbell River. Throughout the entire process he was professional, curtious, and very hard working to get our family to the finish line. He handled all details associated with inspections, contractors, and closing the purchase. Definitely recommend anyone looking for a realtor I'm the region to contact Rob.
