About Adam Shamus

Born and raised in Newton, MA, I have been a Boston native most of my life. Upon graduating from Ithaca College's award winning Park School of Communications I moved back to the Boston area and started my career working in the Community Relations Department for the Boston Red Sox. The highlight of my time there was being a part of the 1999 All Star Game festivities which were held at Fenway Park. In 2004 I segued into Real Estate. I began my career at a small boutique firm in Jamaica Plain where I was mentored by two of the most successful Realtors in the greater Boston area. In the spring of 2005, I was recruited to join William Raveis Real Estate and after 7 years in their Boston and Newton offices, I made the exciting decision to move to the Keller Williams family. My decision was made after I saw first-hand the training, systems and tools that KW gives to both their agents and their clients thus making the real estate sales experience truly one of a kind. Since moving to KW, my entire perception on selling real estate has changed. I have gone from having a job to running my own business. In 2010 I obtained my SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) certification through the National Association of Realtors. My goal is to focus a portion of my real estate practice working with these ever-expanding demographics " Baby Boomers and Seniors. (Very few Realtors nationwide are focusing their time and efforts on these rapidly growing groups). I feel I have the personality, skill set and understanding to be an advocate and resource for my clients who meet these criteria. Additionally, in 2014 I received my Global Real Estate Property Specialist certification. This allows me to market my listings in over 18 languages in 100 countries to over 500,000 international real estate professionals. With one in every twelve home sales now being a foreign buyer, this gives me a significant leg up on my competition. When I'm not working hard for my clients, I am spending time with my Goldendoodle Riley who is a therapy dog. Together we visit hospitals, colleges and various other institutions and help make people feel better. I also enjoy playing golf, seeing movies and spending time on Cape Cod where my family owns a home.
Community Involvement
my dog Riley is a therapy dog and we go to Boston Children's Hospital to visit staff and patients twice a month
HOBBIES/INTEREST
Tennis, golf, movies
FAMILY
parents and brother all still living in Newton where I grew up

Adam was a dream to work with. In the beginning he helped us to identify our interests and focus our search on the few neighborhoods that checked all of our boxes (we didnt make it easy on him). He was quick to respond to any questions that we had and as he accompanied us on several walk throughs, he raised questions that we would have never thought to ask. When we finally found our dream house, he helped us with our offer and then ran point throughout the entire closing process, checking-in regularly with our attorney and our lender to make sure there were never any surprises. He is a kind and genuine person and a fantastic realtor. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a house.

This is the second time we have worked with Adam as our buyer broker. And just like the first time (helping us purchase our first home), we had a great experience with him. He was extremely helpful in guiding us through the process and keeping everything on track for the closing. It was just a great process. We love our new home and owe Adam a big Thank You for helping us purchase it.

As Adam would say I am a #happyclient!!! I am actually a #VERYHAPPYCLIENT.When Adam was referred to me he took the time to truly listen to my wants, needs and dreams. I am an aEUR~older buyer and my prospective new home is my aEUR~forever home. I had a dream to be near the ocean in a new contemporary aEUR~Coastal home and in my wildest dreams I never thought he could find the perfect fit!!! He did!!!I purchased my dream home in June 2019 and after a long year of building and waiting through COVID I closed in August 2020 and throughout the whole process Adam was right there every step of the way.They say that this can be an emotional process and that was especially true towards the end of this for me as we came to quite a few unforeseen delays with the building process. Adam listened to my frustration and concerns and spoke to the Construction Coordinator in a way that was forceful but not aEUR~pushy. I just sat back, trusted him and let him take over to deal with the issues. He was able to communicate clearly and effectively with the construction team which really helped make the end of the process a lot smoother and less stressful for me.I cannot say enough about Adams professionalism, competence, experience and knowledge. So needed in todays real estate world!! Having Adam on my side was KEY in my buying experience. I HIGHLY recommend Adam Shamus for ALL your Real Estate buying and selling!!!

Adam has helped me buy and sell 3 times. -I purchased my first home for under ask and sold it for over thanks in large part to Adam's guidance. - My fiance and I purchased a house for asking price. The purchase of this house involved some tense negotiations and here is where Adam was such an asset. Through it all Adam was a calming presence, referring us to the right people and allowing us to make our own, informed, decisions. We almost walked away at the 11th hour and even then Adam was never pushy or sales driven. Real estate can be contentious and full of surprises. Adam was rock solid, informed, patient and he got me great value.

Adam was fantastic to work with. He was always quick to respond and helped to get us into the homes we wanted to see. Adam was also always honest with his perspective on properties. He made the home buying process, which can have such highs and lows, bearable.
