I have been in the auto salvage business for 29 years and when I decided that I wanted to retire and sell my business, I interviewed several business brokers and real estate agents before going with Doug Shaw. Doug lives in the Cobb/Paulding area and is a very old fashioned and honest type of person. He brought several potential buyers to walk through the property and business. When we lost a good offer due to the pandemic shutdowns, Doug and I went to work and found the perfect buyer that lives right here in our community. It took several months to complete our complicated business and real estate transaction, but Doug got the job done and I could not be happier. Now I’m retired at 58 years old and enjoying my children and grandkids and plan on doing lots of traveling. If you’re ready to sell your business or commercial real estate, I highly recommend that you choose Doug to get the ball rolling.    

We were a little apprehensive when it came time to sell our property given that’s it’s not something we had a lot of experience with. Doug took the time to explain the current market, suggested a strategy and guided us through the entire process. We adjusted the strategy slightly along the way with his suggestions and guidance.  We had multiple offers and had finalized closing in less than three weeks from listing our property. What we enjoyed most about working with Doug was his transparency and continued reassurance that anything we did was our decision, he was truly there to work for us and not make us feel intimidated. I would encourage anyone looking to invest in or sell real estate to spend some time speaking with Doug, get to know him and not hesitate to allow him to represent you.

When my business partners and I started working with Doug Shaw, we thought we were in an unworkable situation. During the previous years we had our business listed with different realtors. All the other realtors did not understand how to market our unique historic property and business as a total package. Doug was spot on from the very first day he guided us through the process of pricing our property to appeal to the diverse metro market. We participated in a marketing strategy meeting where Doug outlined all the avenues available to us. After less than three months on the market Doug brought us a solid offer. We are now retired and the business we started lives on in the community.
