Testimonials

Jennifer played a key role in working with us to sell our home in Big Canyon. She was extremely engaged and creative in thinking through how best to market the home. She was also fantastic at following through immediately to take care of questions or issues as they arose. Her interpersonal skills are extraordinary which made a big difference to our buyers. Finally, she is a real pleasure to work with. We are so appreciative of her professionalism, expertise and help!

It was to my good fortunate that I met Jennifer Shaw through members/friends of mine at Big Canyon Country Club. She has the uncanny ability to listen carefully and observe what her clients goals are. My home was not formally on the market yet Jennifer facilitated the sale, representing both parties, based on knowing that 9 Rue Cannes was exactly what I had described in my search. Her professional approach form the onset and through the closing was impeccable.

We were referred to Jennifer Shaw by Pat Foley, a resident in Big Canyon and a personal friend. Chuck and I were embarking on a huge lifestyle change moving from Aspen. Jennifer was extremely patient and understanding while at the same time nudging us along, looking out for our best interest and opportunities. We wanted what everyone wanted at the time, a home with a master bedroom downstairs. Jennifer was instrumental in finding our home, and has stayed a good personal friend as well.

We decided to move from Rancho Santa Fe back to Newport Beach. Our first choice was Big Canyon. We were very specific and narrow in the type and size of home that we wanted. Due to her tireless and professional approach, Jennifer Shaw helped us find the perfect residence in a short period of time.

I would recommend Jennifer Shaw to anyone looking for a new place to live or listing their current residence. She is a knowledgeable, experienced professional that is thoughtful and always put her client interests first. Jennifer sold our home and worked with us for over a year to find the right home for our next move. We could not be happier with the advice and assistance she provided.

Jennifer and Natalie were instrumental in the sale of our family home in Big Canyon. The catalyst to our successful conclusion was their professionalism and support. With Jennifer / Natalie we relied on their expertise to address numerous details. We were very pleased with how they represented our family in all aspects of the transaction.

Jennifer and Natalie Shaw represented our family in the purchase of a residence in Big Canyon in 2012. We found their knowledge of that specific area in Newport Beach, along with their ability to communicate with us, and their attention to details through the closing process invaluable. They will be our first choice for future real estate needs in Newport Beach.

I have been a real estate broker since 1974. I usually represent myself in my purchases. This time we are glad we had you as our broker in this short sale transaction in Big Canyon. Jennifer, you went above and beyond the call of duty. Your knowledge and performance was outstanding. We thank you for your friendship and professionalism. Any seller or buyer will be lucky to be in your caring, capable hands.

To Whom it May Concern: I spoke with Jennifer back in May 2011 about listing my home in Big Canyon. This was the smoothest real estate transaction that I have ever been involved in. She took care of the inspections, paper work, phone calls, every tedious step that goes into selling a home. Jennifer and Natalie’s expertise, patience, cleverness, and professional business performance was absolute perfection I recommend Jennifer and Natalie Shaw for anyone no matter what the situation because they know how to handle anything and everything; not only getting you your perfect price but for taking care of the unexpected. Please feel free to call me.

Jennifer and Natalie Shaw were everything we were looking for in a real estate advisory team. They are professional, courteous, engaging, and have an excellent understanding of the real estate market cycle. We were able to rely on them to assist with every issue, whether it was complex or mundane. They do not miss the details, and their timeline throughout the process of selling our home was consistently accurate. This was particularly important because of our busy work schedules, and having two young children. Our primary residence was sold within 30 days, and the process went as smooth as we could have imagined. The Shaw Team comes highly recommended by us, and we will be happy to provide a reference.

Thank you both so much for helping us find our new home in Eastbluff! We had been looking in the neighborhood for several months unsuccessfully and worked with several other realtors in the area, but because of the challenging market and their lack of experience and expertise, we discarded all of them. We were almost ready to give up on Newport Beach, but then we found you two and and our luck changed. If you have anyone that is interested in using you as a realtor and wants to speak to a reference, we would be happy to speak with them. Thank you!

I had the good fortune to be referred to Jennifer Shaw and Natalie Shaw when I decided to sell my home in The Bluffs in March of 2013. Their knowledge of the area is impressive, and their professionalism in handling the entire transaction made the process seem far less stressful than any prior home sale or purchase I've made. I would absolutely work with them again, given the opportunity, and would wholeheartedly refer them to anyone looking the buy or sell in The Bluffs.

Jennifer was referred to me by friends that have known her for the 30 years plus that she has been in business. I had a very specific and unusual parameters, that she appreciated and considered tremendously. I fell in love with an REO that should have been relatively simple. We discovered that it had an unknown title defect and was owned by a bank that was non-existent at least in conventional terms. Jennifer diligently worked through the issues with professionalism and compassion for me as a buyer. She continued to encouraging me to be patient and kept instilling in me that it would be well worth the wait. She was right and I am so very happy. Anyone should call themselves lucky to have Jennifer on their side with her infinite passion and broad knowledge for Real Estate.

Jennifer Shaw is an extraordinary Realtor. This was the seventh property I've purchased and being a foreclosure, it was Jennifer's experience and eye for detail that not only made this transaction happen, but actually close early. What I admire and respect most is her sincerity.

When my brother and his wife purchased their home, they turned to our long-time family friend, Jennifer, to help them through the process of bidding on a foreclosure, with a lot of potential, and a lot of complications. So when we felt ready to take the plunge into homeownership ourselves, of course, we called Jennifer too. We met one morning for a casual coffee date to give her a general feel of what we might be looking for, and ended that meeting with plans for a more detailed discussion the next week. Just a few hours later, Jennifer called my cell phone to say that a property had just come on the market that fit all our criteria. With her encouragement, we made an appointment to see inside later that same day, to make sure the listing wasn’t too good to be true. As soon as we walked through the door, my husband and I looked at each other with a sense that this was it. Despite how much we liked the place, we were hesitant to jump in, because we had started our home search just that morning. But with Jennifer’s wise council and years of experience, we took the leap and made an offer that night. The house received a number of other bids that first day, and without Jennifer’s guidance, we would not have been able to stand out from the crowd. She gave us great advice on how to make our offer attractive, and included a personal letter about us. After the sellers considered all of the offers before them, they picked us as their first choice! Now my husband and I wake up every morning and tell each other that this is too good to be true, because we can’t believe we live here, in the house we bought in one day. Thanks Jennifer!

I met Jennifer Shaw on an open house in the Bluffs. She counseled me on financing that allowed me to purchase a home for my family. The financing involved an FHA loan in an extremely competitive market place, competing with all cash buyers. Jennifer positive determination and expertise negotiated a successful transaction on our behalf one year later. She never gave up and had the ability to gain the sellers’ confidence in our ability to perform. We cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone wanting a professional, pleasant real estate experience.

Amber and I want to thank you so much for your assistance, patience and responsiveness! Our neighbor recommended you and we met as complete strangers. You have fulfilled every promise and over-exceeded our expectations. In my career, I have witnessed this service many times. I am certain the trust you build with your clients is the key to your success. You are a true Real Estate Professional with an excellent support team and we will recommend you to anyone!

Jennifer and Natalie are the very, VERY best, working is hardly the word; work – no -- list, leave, sell, return, close, you two produce wonderful results. WOW. Thank you both for a truly wonderful experience, this was our ninth home, and NEVER have we experienced an easier, MOST professional, but, personal experience. From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much.

Thank you so very much for your help selling Vista Nobleza. I was mentally reviewing the process last night and realized we have been working on this since May!! I greatly appreciate your patience, persistence and creativity in order to get this deal over the finish line. You and Natalie have really been a joy to work with over the past eight months. I have worked with dozens of realtors over the past 20 years and you and Natalie are far and away the best I’ve experienced! Without hesitation I would refer friends to you.

I had the privilege to work with Jennifer and Natalie Shaw on the sale of my home. Having never met them, but after coming highly recommended from a mutual friend, they handled my sale efficiently and professionally. Not only were they both extremely knowledgeable about the market and more specifically my particular neighborhood but they were extremely easy to work with. They were able to procure a buyer very quickly and secure a price that had never been reached with my floor plan. Also, Jennifer and Natalie went above and beyond the call of duty in working with tradesmen to prepare the property for market. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Shaw Team to anyone looking for experienced and knowledgeable representation especially properties in Big Canyon Villas.

About two months ago, my wife and I decided to visit an open house in our neighborhood. We weren't certain that we wanted to buy anything, but were interested in learning more about the market. The listing agent, Jennifer Shaw, greeted and showed us the property. During our tour and ensuing conversation, my wife described to Ms. Shaw what would most interest us: a very specific, difficult to find property. Jennifer immediately said she might have something; not listed, but possibly for sale. Five weeks later we closed escrow on a wonderful home. I've bought many homes in my life. I've never had an agent manage and marshal an escrow the way Jennifer and her daughter Natalie did. It was seamless, smooth, with no surprises. They were consummate professionals. Should I buy another property my first call will be to Jennifer and Natalie.

I received a letter from “Jennifer Shaw” of Villa Real Estate. She stated that she had recently sold 733 Avocado and she had a woman who was looking to buy a 2 bedroom/2 bath home in Sandcastle community of Corona del Mar. Of course, I was reluctant because I get those sorts of letters all the time. It turns out that the letter was sincere. After several phone calls and a visit to my home, Jennifer put together an offer. What I liked about Jennifer is that she determined a price based on her research and knowledge of the area. Jennifer and her daughter, Natalie, who is also a pleasure to work with, made this the most professional and easy sale I have ever entered in to. Jennifer sold my condo from start to finish in 12 days. Jennifer Shaw and Natalie Shaw really took the time and made me feel like I was the only person on the planet that was in Escrow. They know what they’re doing and it showed. I was kept well informed on a daily basis and when I questioned anything, they had an answer for me.

I have worked closely with Jennifer Shaw when she sold 4 units in the Big Canyon Townhomes Association that I manage. She is a well-established real estate agent in the area and one of her specializations is in the McLain Big Canyon community. During the escrow phase, as a representative for the HOA, I have been involved in the transactions and Jennifer has exemplified true professionalism. The transfer of each property has gone smoothly. It is a pleasure working with her.
