My husband and I recently relocated to Wilmington. We were waiting for a house to be built, but had sold our previous home up north. We rented a new, beautifully furnished apartment with a 4 month lease from the professionals at Shaw. The apartment was beautifully decorated and provided us with everything we could ever think we needed. I mean EVERYTHING, including a 1000 piece puzzle for those nights when there's nothing else (never happens in Wilmington). The attention to detail was amazing and it was centrally located. The women in the office were so accommodating, we could not have asked for

Honestly, the best customer service and loyalty to a renter I have ever experienced. I grew up in Wilmington and rented many different properties. To say that Shaw Real Estate is a great rental agency is an understatement! They go above and beyond to ensure home repairs were done which is something most of the "slum lords" of Wilmington do not have in their vocabulary. They are owned and operated by women and they always made sure I felt safe and taken care of in my home. I appreciate them and would always rent from them!

I have despicable tenants upstairs from me, they slam, stomp, bang, scream, yell, etc etc 24/7. I have lost countless days of sleep. These people upstairs are malicious immature individuals with no respect for anyone and shaw real estate will do NOTHING regarding this. Seems with shaw realty, everything is on the tenant. Pay them, that's all they care about, but their tenants well being, well apparently that's just on us. I'm disgusted with this rental and the things I'm forced to deal with as a renter here.

After renting from Shaw for 3 and a half years I can honestly say that they are a caring, understanding and professional real estate group. Samantha and Sherry are some of the nicest ladies you'll ever meet. Anytime a problem arose, these ladies would be right beside you helping to fix whatever it may be. I could not have asked for better from a real estate group!

I have been going through Shaw Real Estate for only a year now, and will continue to do so through my time in Wilmington. Rental properties are difficult to come by that allow students and they were very willing to let us move in. I am able to call anytime of the day and Sherry and or Samantha have been more than helpful with any concerns weve had. If you are a responsible/respectful tenant there are ZERO issues. Love love love my house. :)

I have rented a property with Shaw real estate since 2018. As a college student, this rental is the nicest, most spacious house, at the best price! Sherry is the easiest to work with and she is always willing to go the extra mile for us! The street is super safe and perfect for anybody looking for a welcoming neighborhood. Maintenance and amenities are top notch and well kept and are always prompt with communication and service.
