Our experience with Shawn Buryska has been amazing. I listed my father's house (selling on his behalf) with Shawn (Coldwell Banker Realty) and the service he and his team provided was nothing short of outstanding. Everything was processed extremely efficiently (but not rushed) and communication was great with all of my questions answered promptly (sometimes before I even had a chance to ask them). Shawn and his team including Shelly and Deb explained everything in great detail and remained readily available and accessible from first meeting thorough closing. I would highly recommend Shawn Buryska

Shawn Buryska helped me and my wife purchase the home we wanted in a very competitive sellers market. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and low pressure. His wisdom and advice made the buying process go very smoothly for us. He is very skilled at negotiating and making sure his clients are treated fairly.

It was a pleasure working with Shawn again, just like the first time. He is very knowledgeable, reliable, and responsive. Shawn will make sure everything is done right and help you resolve any issues that may possibly come along the way. If I ever need to buy or sell a house, Shawn is person I would go to.

Shawn Buryska was extremely prepared at our first meeting. He had done research on our property, neighborhood and other houses that had recently sold in our area and arrived with a folder full of information for us to review. We needed help with staging and ideas to make our home more appealing to buyers and he had excellent suggestions. He always explained what was being done and why. Shawn was quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the process.
Shawn and his team did a great job!

We listed with Shawn Buryska to sell my mother's home after she passed away. Shawn and team did a fantastic job for us. We received excellent advice in preparing the home for sale and knew exactly what to expect when the home went on the market. Everything went smoothly from beginning to end. We will definitely list with Shawn in the future!

Shawn Buryska did an excellent job in listing and selling our home. He provided us with insight on our homes value and backed it up with a detailed competitive market assessment. He took the time to explain his marketing strategies and then did exactly what he said he would do for us. His years of experience, excellent customer service and experienced support team served us very well. This is the second home that Shawn has helped us sell. We recommend him very highly.
