Shawn Woof was amazing to work with! This was not an easy property to sell. Also, the lead that resulted in the sale, came through the Sotheby's website.Thanks Shawn!

Shawn provided outstanding service helping our family secure our dream cottage on Lake Rousseau. He did an excellent job matching our needs and helping to educate us on the many variables involved in investing in a property in Muskoka. Shawn understood our specific needs and helped to find the property that hit all of our criteria. Finally, Shawn also brings a global perspective to buyers considering an investment in the heart of Ontario cottage country.

We worked with Shawn this past spring to purchase our Lakehouse in Torrance. Shawn worked diligently with the purchase and helped us understand some of the road blocks we encountered with the local municipalities. He was always available to answer our questions or concerns. We would highly recommend Shawn for your Cottage purchase! Thanks Shawn for providing a superior service!

Not only was Shawn professional, innovative in his marketing and attentive to our needs, his approach recognized the uniqueness of our property and our family circumstance. He works with heart and a passion which has been so appreciated by us. His ability to connect with his clients on both a personal and professional level is second to none, going above and beyond to get the job done. I stumbled across his profile video quite by accident and felt instantly that he would be a great fit for us. I was right. He’s one of the best!

We love our family cottage in Muskoka! Shawn was referred to us as an expert in the Muskoka area and that's exactly what he was. He knew the area very well and was knowledgeable on all the properties and lakes we visited. He was professional and great to deal with. With Shawn's help we were able to find a diamond in the rough and couldn't be happy with our summer getaway! Thank you Shawn!
Allan Lewis - Moon River
We have purchased two cottage properties with Shawn. Dealing with Shawn when buying our properties was a fantastic experience. A great communicator, extremely professional and knowledgable about the market. Consistantly going above and beyond all expectations, Shawn has integrity, honesty and knows the cottage and rental business market in and out. Highly recommended.

Laura Knudson - Lake Muskoka
About 8 years ago I was looking for my first vacation property. I had looked at a number of properties with different agents who seem not to be listening to what I was looking for and the priority of things I wanted in the property. I met Shawn when my geographical changed to Muskoka. I sat down with Shawn and told him what my priorities were for the property. He took notes, asked questions of what was my I was looking for and said he would get back to me. Shawn showed me 2 properties that totally matched what I was looking for and I found myself after months of looking with other realtors to be torn between 2 terrific properties Shawn found me. Since then, I have sold my original property within a few weeks of listing and bought another property through Shawn. The second property was bang on what I was looking for. Shawn has an eye for real estate, he is someone who listens to what you are looking for, gets back to you immediately, he works hard to bring properties to match what you want. I highly recommend using Shawn for any real estate purchases or sales in Muskoka.

Please accept this brief note as a sincere thank you for the assistance you and your team have provided us during our quest to find a dream cottage in the beautiful Northern Ontario.Although our search started some 2 years ago, it wasn’t until we met you and your colleague Keith (hope we got the name right) late last fall, that our dreams begun to take shape.From the first encounter to the many subsequent conversations and meetings, you have maintain an ultra-professional approach to the process including timely response to our enquiries (including many evening calls over dinner – thank you), offering options when properties sold before we arrived and always maintain positive outlook on our chances of finding that special place we’d come to call our cottage retreat or home away from home. Not only did you accommodate a winter purchase, but you also found a way to conclude the transaction during the difficult times our society faces today. Who can forget arranging a trip to see the cottage on snowmobiles in the middle of winter – talk about a unique showing… Or helping us arrange a lawyer when most law firms are shutting down due to COVID-19… Or helping us secure a boat slip at one of the local marinas for the 2020/21 season.All in all, you and your team have gone above and beyond to ensure our first cottage purchase experience was as painless as possible. Very impressed.s

Shawn had a very difficult client with a unique property that required the right buyer to recognize the value. Shawn showed patience and guidance through a long drawn out process. I would like to thank Shawn for sticking with me and working hard to get this property sold.
Paul Arkell, Port Carling
Shawn and his team did a fantastic job right from preparing the property through marketing, Social media, Staging And connecting with other agents I can't say enough how pleased My wife and I were with the whole Sotheby's team I would definitely recommend Shawn and Sotheby's

Selling during COVID 19
With Shawn at our side, we sold our house! While we might simply say that Shawn is knowledgeable and really listened deepy to our needs and wishes, those words do not even begin to describe the level of support and connection that he offered during these very challenging times. We sold our house during COVID 19 and navigating a sale through a world that was changing hour by hour required a special kind of person- and Shawn was it! Throughout, Shawn was thoughtful, he was always weighing the changing situation and offering timely advice. He was reassuring yet realistic, hopeful yet honest. With every conversation, he took the time to really understand how the new realities and new uncertainties brought on by the pandemic were impacting us. Shawn did more than just sell our house-he helped to keep us grounded, calm and focussed on achieving our goal. We are grateful for his guidance, his kind and supporting nature and for helping us achieve our goal.Sincerely,Pam and David Crawford

After spending the previous summer looking for the right cottage property with no luck, we were referred to Shawn by a real-estate friend of ours. Shawn listened to our wants and needs and we were able to find the perfect property in no time. We found Shawn to be easy to work with. He was knowledgeable about the ins and outs of purchasing a cottage property and was attentive and responsive to our needs and questions throughout the process. Thanks Shawn, our only regret is we didn't get to spend more time with you!
Tea Lake - Severn Township
Shawn, Paul and Christian were all very professional. I found them also very responsive and easy to work with. They worked well together, each bringing different expertise to the table! They attracted quite a lot of attention to the property given that it was not the ideal weather or time of year to show it. Thank you to all three of you! Carrie

In a turbulent time for real estate, especially vacant property Shawn and I worked through the process and achieved a very satisfactory result. He is very aware of the situation regarding costs for building and the process involved and knowing this helped me and the purchaser come to an agreement on price. Fantastic work from a skilled and very personable real estate professional. Thanks, Shawn!!

Our Forever Home
We began our search for a home about 3 years ago. I knew I wanted a realtor, but not just anyone. Shawn Woof really went out of his way, showing us homes that we asked about through MLS,the whole time making the journey all about us. Not once did we feel uncomfortable. During these challenging times in the market, we were getting very discouraged, and yet, his confidence in us finding a home for our family never wavered. A property came on the market a bit outside of our price range, and Shawn encouraged us, if we loved it, to make an offer, and lets not think about the many others that could be looking as well. The offer was accepted! We were beyond happy! We were able to stay close to Debbie’s family and her children’s father. The home checked off every box, including some boxes we never thought we would get!We truly believe we would not be in our home, if it was not for Shawn. Shawn, Debbie and I are over the top grateful for you and the Sothebys team. We appreciate you helping us, and getting us into out forever home. You helped shape the rest of our lives. Love always, Brian, Debbie, Dalton, Steph and Blue.

Shawn was recommended to me by a real estate agent friend in my hometown near Hamilton. After one phone call, I took the simplest approach: I let Shawn be the real estate expert that he is so I could concentrate on things within my expertise.Shawn made all the decisions during the sale of our cottage. He communicated the advice to me but I never wavered in taking that advice.Shawn is honest, communicative and very good at what he does; 3 traits that are often uncommon in many other agents.I would most highly recommend Shawn to handle all your real estate needs in the Muskoka region. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Professional, knowledgable and Empathetic
Shawn was a great resource for us when we were looking to purchase our first cottage. Shawn's experience and background made it easy to trust his advice which in turn helped us get an amazing cottage which we love! Shawn provided key information to help make our decision easier and asked the right questions which saved us thousands of dollars with upgrades and fixes before the closing. We did not feel any pressure with him, he was professional, knowledgeable, empathetic and very easy to access when we needed him. We would not hesitate to recommend working with Shawn!

Beautiful Muskoka Cottage
It's really a challenge to summarize in a few sentences just how amazing Shawn was to partner with to find our beautiful Muskoka Cottage.I guess it started with our first virtual tour where he patiently walked around a property and we discussed what was great and what was less than ideal. As we spent time with Shawn viewing properties over the summer, he really helped us shape what were our "Must Haves" versus what we might trade off.It all culminated in Shawn calling us on a Friday. A new property had just been listed and he was actually at the property and really felt this one we had to see. What was surprising to us was we had both reviewed the listing and did not feel this was a good fit for us but Shawn knew otherwise. We fell in love the moment we pulled into the driveway and it continued as we viewed the cottage and the lake. Shawn patiently helped us work on an offer strategy, and we ended up closing on a beautiful cottage we hope to enjoy for many years to come.None of this would have been possible without Shawn really spending the time getting to know our family and what we wanted.My sincerest thanks to ShawnThe Forkans

With the seemingly insatiable demand for lakefront cottages in Muskoka we were skeptical that a property could be found that would meet our needs. Shawn’s experience, expertise and quick thinking ensured that we did not lose out on a property that had piqued our interest but had a pending offer. We would highly recommend Shawn Woof.
