    We moved from another state to Minnesota to be closer to family in Rochester. No one here had a suggestion for a realtor, so I did several Google searches and Shawn Buryska kept coming up at the top of the results. We reached out and Shawn responded right away. We had a long, detailed discussion on the phone about the process, with his recommendations for the best approach. We're moved in now, and the sale of our home in another state and the purchase in Rochester went exactly as Shawn first explained to us. We gave Shawn a list of our preferences, and Shawn regularly emailed us with relevant listings. We made several house-hunting trips and Shawn arranged for multiple houses for us to look at. He pointed out the good and bad of those houses, especially with potential code violations. We also went to several open houses, and the realtors there had great respect for Shawn when we mentioned that we were working with him. When we selected a house to bid on, Shawn made good suggestions regarding the bid, dealt effectively with the selling realtor, and helped bring the transaction to a conclusion. He quickly arranged for an inspection with a knowledgeable inspector and went through the house at the final walk-through testing all of the house's systems to make sure they were functioning properly. Throughout the process, Shawn responded quickly, gave us good advice, was highly knowledgeable about real estate in the area, and was a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to work with Shawn on any future transaction and highly recommend him as a real estate agent.

    We had a great experience working with Shawn to sell our home. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Shawn brought a level of professionalism, market insight, and strategic thinking that set him apart. He walked us through every detail of the selling process with patience and clarity, helping us feel confident and informed at every step. Shawns marketing approach was top-notch aEUR" the photos, listing description, and overall presentation of our home were stunning and truly highlighted its best features. His pricing strategy and timing recommendations were spot-on. Were so grateful to have had Shawn by our side and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

    Shawn and his team were so professional and knowledgeable. He was fast in answering any questions, efficient in setting up each step of the home-selling process, and most importantly, communicated each step with me very clearly. I always knew what to expect next in the process. He and his team sold my house the first day it was on the market and I am so grateful for their expertise. The title company with which Shawn works was also professional, helpful, and communicated well. I had several questions about various documents and these questions were answered quickly and efficiently. There were no unnecessary parties and I always knew who to contact to provide reassurance through the process. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

    Shawn and Shelly make a great team. He hit a price point for our house that allowed it to be sold in only 2 1/2 days. He was responsive to any questions and concerns and kept us informed about each step in the process. He is highly knowledgable and skilled at his job.
