We have trusted Shawn to assist us in both buying a house and selling a house. Both transactions were complicated and Shawn was always more than willing to help guide us through from start to finish. Shawn has deep knowledge of the industry and is able to offer such useful advice to both buyers and sellers alike. We couldn’t recommend him more!

I didn’t have to do much to sell the house. Shawn did most of the work. If they are Korean, I would say, go to Shawn Yu. If he was English or American or whatever, I would say go to Shawn Yu.

I asked Shawn to help my aunt get her home sold during a very contentious divorce situation. I could not be more pleased with Shawn, he is everything a Realtor should be and more! He is incredibly detail oriented, professional and gracious. From the first contact to after closing, he showed all along the way that he has the skills necessary to get a home sold for the absolute highest possible selling price. He assisted with staging, recommended repairs, and was an amazing communicator with all parties all along the way. This sale didn’t make him much money, but he treated it like a million dollar home. I am so grateful for Shawn and that I can refer clients to him in the future. I would recommend and encourage all of my friends and family to use Shawn in the Portland area! If you are looking for a Realtor to help you buy or sell your home, look no further than Shawn Yu.

I chose to work with Shawn Yu after interviewing 5 other agents to sell my home. I was an out of town property owner and wanted to have someone who would be my “eyes and ears” at the property, to help review all repairs and make sure that the property was being cared for while it was on the market. Shawn cam across a a very genuine and caring agent with great integrity, and he did not disappoint. It was a great pleasure to work with Shawn and his team and I highly recommend him!

Shawn Yu and team were excellent to work with. We had previously listed our home with another agent and it did not sell. After taking it off of the market for a bit, we interviewed multiple real estate agents and found Shawn Yu. Other agents interviewed included top selling teams in the PDX area who did not seem to want to list our house without dropping the price dramatically. During interviews, it was clear that we also needed someone who would respectfully guide us through our options and work to sell our home while navigating the selling process with small children in the home.
Shawn did not over-promise, but gave us feedback and ideas to make our house a little more marketable. From the first phone call, we appreciated his pace and conversation style. He took time to listen and gave us great feedback. We had a tremendous amount of activity on our house which required quite a bit of coordination and communication. It was all seamless.
Our home was listed at the same price as our original listing, and successfully sold. We are extremely happy with the result.
Shawn and his team worked with us on the purchase of our new home simultaneously with the sale of our previous home. On our purchase, we were in a multiple officer scenario where Shawn clearly laid out our options. We were able to discuss the positive and negatives for making our offer stand out and then we decided what would work for us. Thankfully, we were the selected offer and now live in our dream home. This could not have happened without Shawn and his team working so hard for us.

Shawn Yu and his team were wonderful to work with! Shawn is a very professional, very hard-working agent. He helped us sell our unique home. Shawn spent a great deal more time on our property than most agents would have. He gave us such good care. There was a time where our first set of buyers backed out, and we had to start all over marketing the property. Through the many challenges, Shawn was unphased and continued to come up with strategies to get it sold. As a result, we sold our home in the city, and were able to move into the country with our young children, to our ‘Dream Home’! Thank you Shawn and the Shawn Yu Team! We would recommend you to anyone.
Shawn helped us not only sell our home, but also in buying our new ‘Dream Home’. He worked really hard to get our home sold for us.
We had a somewhat unique property and Shawn held multiple open houses. He communicated often about different strategies he wanted to use to get it sold. He kept at it, and even after our first buyers backed out, he aggressively marketed and worked hard to get it sold. We always felt like he was extremely professional and had our best interests at heart. He got it sold, and we were able to move on to our next adventure!
Thank you Shawn Yu and Team. We are very happy!

Shawn is patient, kind, honest, and did I mention patient? We found Shawn through a friend’s recommendation, and are so grateful to have had him by our side for our first home purchase. Buying our first home during a pandemic in a crazy Portland housing market was tough. Shawn always kept our confidence up as we placed offer after offer on houses. He was always honest with his opinions and our chances at getting a house- never sugar coating, but always keeping our needs in his best interest. Shawn wrote 10 offers for us over 5 long months of house searching, and finally helped us find our new home in the exact neighborhood we were hoping for. When you spend 5 months looking for a home day in and day out, your realtor becomes a part of your family for those months, at least it felt that way with Shawn. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I stumbled upon Shawn at one of his open houses we visited on the day our initial real estate agent cancelled on us. The following day he met with my wife and me to spend a few hours learning about what kind of house we were looking for. We’re new to the Portland area so he educated us on the different neighborhoods throughout the city and we discussed the areas that were best suited for our needs based on our price range and work commute time. The most beneficial part of Shawn’s fiduciary service was preventing us from overpaying for a house we fell in love with. He calculated a market value and negotiated with the seller’s agent to get that price along with credits toward needed repairs on the house. Even after we closed on the house, Shawn continued to help us by coordinating with contractors to get some work done prior to us moving in. He did a fantastic job advocating for us and guiding us through the home buying process.

Thanks to Shawn’s assistance, patience, and advocacy, we are now living in our dream house! We highly recommend him to anyone buying a home!
A realtor located in Washington referred us to Shawn in case we decided to buy in Oregon. Even though we hadn’t yet moved to town and hadn’t narrowed our search to a particular area, Shawn agreed to speak with us over video conference. He made us feel comfortable and understood, even though we didn’t yet know what we wanted. Over the following couple of months we corresponded over email, and Shawn revealed his knowledge of the different areas in and around Portland, and helped us to figure out which areas would most fit our lifestyle.
When we moved to town, Shawn was readily available to show us houses. He made himself available to show us many houses. He helped us to recognize and articulate our priorities, as we discovered them while touring houses. It was almost as if Shawn figured out what we wanted before we had even realized what we wanted. We appreciated his honesty because as first-time home buyers, we were nervous about such a monumental purchase, and we wanted to be sure to make the right choice. And did we ever!
Shawn flawlessly navigated the negotiations with the seller, discussing offer and counter-offer strategy with us with candor, but still leaving the final decisions to us. He got us a really great deal! His professionalism carried us through the rest of the process, with him and his team addressing our questions and keeping us on track throughout. It was clear to us that he is well-respected by the others involved, including the seller’s realtors and our title officers. He seems to have a great reputation in the industry.
We highly recommend Shawn Realty!

We recently moved to Oregon from Massachusetts. When my wife arrived in Portland to begin the home search, she interviewed three referred realtors. She opted to go with Shawn as she found him to be the most knowledgeable and well-spoken. We worked with Shawn and his team for two and a half months. During that time, we sold our house on the east coast, moved across the country and made offers on three houses in the Portland area. We retracted the first two offers after inspections uncovered expensive problems we would rather not deal with, then successfully concluded the third transaction.
Four things struck me as we worked with Shawn. First, he is a very good communicator. He kept us up to date and was always certain that we understood our options and the rationale behind his recommendations.
Second, Shawn has a keen sense of the market. He reminded us several times between September and October that the market was shifting from a seller’s to a buyers’ market and what had been the case a few weeks ago may no longer be true.
Third, Shawn was working in our best interests at all times. We wanted to get into a new house quickly so were more interested in getting an offer accepted than it being the lowest possible offer. He could easily have run with our higher offer proposals, but knew it wasn’t the best deal for us long-term and convinced us to go lower.
Fourth, and certainly not least, was his support team, especially Bo. We had little time to research and contact inspectors for each home, so it was a great relief when his team offered to provide a list of recommended inspectors and then coordinated appointments with all of the parties. Being new to the city and state, we really appreciated the information and experience his team provided.
We would enthusiastically recommend Shawn and his team to anyone looking for a realtor.

Shawn helped us to buy a house last August after we had looked for over a year. We first met him while he was working as a seller’s agent at an open house we stopped by. We hadn’t committed to working with an agent because we didn’t want any extra pressure put on us. Both my husband and I really liked Shawn’s polite and knowledgeable manner right away and decided to give him a call when we were ready to work with someone.
Shawn was exceptionally patient and non-pushy throughout the whole buying process. I would say that we were probably more particular than the average client and Shawn never tried to persuade us down any other path. I would say there are a few attributes that really set him apart from other realtors we have previously worked with. #1: KNOWLEDGE. He knows houses, in and out, what to look for and what to be weary of. There were so many things that we didn’t notice that he made us aware of. #2: INTEGRITY. He’s not looking for a quick sale. Shawn is very genuine in his desire for you to be happy with your choice and it shows. #3. DILIGENT. He works HARD to get you the best deal he can, see it all the way through and steps into help whenever obstacles arise.
Shawn’s experience and knowledge make the process of buying a house so much easier. He would answer ALL of our questions and give his HONEST opinion when it was asked for. We are looking forward to working with him again in the future.
Thank you Shawn!

Finding a home that I like, making sure it has future resale value, and getting it at right price all together is not easy. Buying one for the first time, I had no idea how I was going do the second and third part myself.
Shawn was respectful and easy to work with throughout the whole process. In addition to being truly professional in getting things done, he was always willing to work extra for whatever was reasonable. Nicest thing about him is that he wants his client to be happy in the long term. He will tell you when the things don’t meet his standard, even if it means more work for him. He made sure that I was paying reasonably and treated fairly by all other parties. As a result, not only did we manage to avoid a multiple offer situation, but we also earned some good seller’s credit as well as a home warranty, in such a strong seller’s market. I had an out of state online lender. While things were mostly smooth, they didn’t work for almost a week and then tried to finish the closing document in the last minute. As they were causing lots of unnecessary noise and making every other nervous about whether closing will happen on time, Shawn stepped in and appropriately sorted out the situation. I’d be happy to work with him again in the future as well as recommend him to others.

Honest, sincere and courteous of our priorities. Shawn worked tirelessly to understand our aspirations for a home, while being mindful of our welfare while making a 20+ year investment. We sincerely appreciated his care, expertise and empathy while navigating the home purchase experience.

Shawn was easily the most communicative realtor (or even person!) I’d met. As a first- time home buyer, I felt like I didn’t know my left from my right sometimes, but Shawn was right there to help me each time. In the rare times he wasn’t sure about something, he was very honest about it and was prompt to follow up on it. He worked around our busy schedule, and made himself available whenever we needed him, oftentimes in the same day. He also went the extra mile by clearly explaining each form we signed, and double-checking that the sellers met their ends of the bargain. He followed up so that we wouldn’t have to. Without hesitation, I can honestly say that we couldn’t have done this as quickly and easily without Shawn’s help. Thank you Shawn, for helping our American Dream come true!
