As someone who has always been skeptical of realtors, I typically would not consider spending time making recommendations. But, I would recommend Shawn Battle in a heartbeat. He is pragmatic, personable, witty and intelligent. I always appreciated his responsiveness and willingness to address questions and listen to concerns. He saw the transaction through from start to finish. Moreover, the brilliant marketing blitz Shawn engineered for my property was simply stellar. He knows his market and he quickly learns the needs of his clients. All these impressive qualities led me to recommend Shawn to good friends of mine who are currently looking for a larger condo unit in Arlington.
Shawn Battle was highly recommended to us by a friend who had nothing but pleasant things to say and we plan to do the same by referring him to ALL of our friends and family. We were extremely impressed from the first time we met with Shawn, from his sales plan to the previous portfolio of listings. He did not have to "sell" his work, because his pure knowledge and experience spoke for itself. It was also satisfying to know we were on the same page regarding price and plans to get the house on the market. We originally planned to sell the house in the Spring, but decided to wait until the Fall and Shawn was respectful of our decision and very patient with us until we were ready. Shawn did an exceptional job handling all aspects of the sale. He made the entire process so effortless, we always felt comfortable asking for his professional advice and trusted his judgement. He went above and beyond our expectations in order to get the house on the market, guided us through the entire process and gave us the proper advice when we needed it. We were also impressed with the resources he used to keep up with the current technology (showings app, video with drone footage, etc.), the utilization of social media and direct marketing. He was easy to work with, easy to get in touch with and always on top of everything! He continuously provided updates and not once did we worry about anything. His hard work and dedication is reflected on the quick sale of our home with multiple offers. We can't say enough kind things about Shawn and how much we appreciated his efforts in getting our house sold. We have already referred him to several of our friends and can't wait to go back to him when we are ready to buy again!
Shawn Battle far exceeded my expectations throughout the sale process. Shawn is hard working and dedicated to achieving the best result for his clients and is always well-prepared for any meeting or discussion. I researched a few brokers in the area and Shawn's background and experience selling Orange line condos and units in my building made Shawn an easy pick. His experience prepping units for sale and deciding renovations was also key. I lived outside of the area and had been renting the unit for several years and the unit needed some updates before listing for sale. Shawn recommended excellent people to perform the work, helped select the best colors, etc. and coordinated the renovations for me before listing the unit. Throughout the sale process, Shawn proactively communicated and provided regular updates on showings, feedback, general market activity, etc. all of which was very valuable for me as an out of town owner. I knew Shawn was doing everything possible to sell my condo at the best price and shortest time possible. As the slow summer sale season hit, Shawn continued trying new marketing ideas to drive showings and interest and we consistently had more showings than other similar units in the area. Once I received an offer, Shawn did an outstanding job negotiating the final contract and other details, keeping me fully informed throughout the process. Shawn made the closing process go very smoothly as well. I highly recommend Shawn Battle and would definitely work with him again if I'm buying or selling property in the area.
My selection of Shawn came as a result of a search made by a good friend, commercial broker, and very smart business woman. She looked him and up and I decided to go with Shawn. I was glad I chose him because I felt comfortable with him from the first moment we met. He was friendly and professional and seemed to have the experience I needed to get the job done. Excellent experience. Shawn Battle has the experience and patience to do an excellent job. Overall, he is honest and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone. It was a great pleasure working with Shawn. His easy going and calm personality kept my stress levels low and I appreciated that. He was quick to reply to my questions or concerns and made sure I did everything I needed to do to get my house sold.
A true real estate professional, Shawn is knowledgeable and excellent in negotiating the best deal possible in a highly competitive market. We were pleased with Shawn as our broker and will use him exclusively on future transactions.
