Jim is very knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. He helped us with buying a house and selling a house. He made the whole process very easy and smooth. Great job Jim! 11/10!

Jim was great to work with, in a competitive market turned selling one property and buying another into a seamless transaction. Very attentive, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive as well as an all around great guy! I would highly recommend if you're looking to buy or sell a property, thanks Jim!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jim Shaw recently and I cannot recommend him enough if you're a first time homebuyer. My fiance and I were total newbies to the home buying process and basically had no idea what we were doing. Jim was immensely helpful to us to the point where it's basically thanks to him that we are living in a home that we are blissfully happy with. He helped us every step of the way, found us a condo that fit all of the criteria we were looking for, answered all of our millions of questions, connected us with a mortgage company, and a lawyer. We never would have been able to find all of these people on our own with the speed and efficiency that Jim did. Everyone he recommended to us also treated us extremely well. In addition to his professional helpfulness, he's also just a super nice guy, really accessible, and really easy to talk to. He went above and beyond to help us at every turn. We are seriously pinching ourselves because we can't believe we got lucky enough to work with him when so many young people looking to buy a house have such a difficult time these days. We love you Jim!!

Can t say enough good things about Jim Shaw. As a first time homebuyer in this crazy competitive market, Jim was an amazing asset in finding us our dream home. Jim is extremely savvy with both the market and the area we were looking in, and set up numerous open houses with us until we found the right one. When it came to putting in an offer, Jim went above and beyond to ensure ours was competitive and ultimately successful. Jim was patient, extremely responsive to our questions and concerns, and walked us through this process until the end. I would recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy a home.
Jim and I very highly recommend Jim Shaw
My brother and I met with 4 other brokers before we met Jim Shaw. We had an initial meeting on a Monday and Jim came back on Wednesday with his game plan. We liked his approach and signed up with him on that day. On Thursday Jim Shaw called us and said, "that he wanted to show our house "as is, no staging" on Friday to a broker and her client. On Saturday we had an initial offer, but Jim thought we could do better and over the course of a Saturday afternoon in December we received an offer $150,000 over asking and the buyer agreed to our requirement to close in 90 days. Over the next 90 days Jim Shaw advised us on several nuances known more important than scheduling a Smoke Detectors Inspection by the Boston Fire Department. Jim Shaw then went above and beyond and schedule that appointment. While waiting for that Inspection, Jim advised us that we needed several new Smoke Detectors. Jim even picked them up for us!!
Jim Shaw insured that we were ready for the buyers inspection, so we could close on schedule.
Jim and I very highly recommend Jim Shaw, if you're looking for a Real Estate broker to get you; your best price!!

Huge thanks to Jim! He was very responsive and helpful, from our initial tour of our apartment to signing paperwork and getting keys. Apartment hunting and moving is always going to be stressful but he definitely helped make it a lot less stressful.

Jim is the most helpful agent I ve worked with during my 6+ years as a renter in Boston. He always answered his phone and replied to my messages quickly and thoughtfully. He had a really good understanding of the Southie market and listened to /provided information for all of my questions. Highly recommended!

Jim was great to work with and very knowledgeable. He was patient and accommodating. Jim was instrumental in helping us purchase our dream home.
I would recommend Jim to any of my friends and family.
Jim Shaw was absolutely wonderful to work with. He made the selling and buying process so simple. He was able to sell our home before market! Not having to go through the process of open houses was such a win! Jim was able to recommend a great mortgage company who got us an outstanding rate. He helped us find a local law office to close both properties. Jim listened to everything we wanted in our new home and was able to deliver our dream home for a fair price. Even now after closing, Jim is still in touch, making sure everything is going smoothly. He truly cares about his clients wants and needs. He is organized, stays in touch through the whole process, goes above and beyond for his clients. I would recommend Jim to any of my friends and family.

We have been working with Jim Shaw since 2009 when he helped us find our 1st rental apartment in Boston. From then onwards he has helped us buy and sell multiple homes. Manages our rental properties. I m proud to say that our relationship is a decade old and he has never steered us wrong. His clients for him out like family. He approaches both sides as if it s his money and try and get the best deal for his clients. We would highly recommend him to be your future agent you will not regret it.

I first met Jim when I was inquiring about a place I saw on Zillow. Jim got back to me within minutes. He then became our realtor to help sell our house. We accepted an offer on our house within 24 hours of it being listed. Jim was a great realtor to work with. Always responded when we had questions. Went above and beyond. Highly recommended!!
