Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
Hi, I’m Shawn Watson, co-founder of The Watson & Switzer Group at RE/MAX Northwest. I proudly serve clients across the dynamic Portland–Vancouver metro area and throughout the Willamette Valley—from Salem to Eugene.

With two decades of experience and over 1,000 clients served, I bring a strong foundation in real estate, marketing, and negotiation to every transaction. I hold a master’s degree in Real Estate & Construction Management and a bachelor’s degree in Business.

Before real estate, I served in the U.S. Coast Guard and worked as a K9 officer with the New Mexico State Police. I’ve also served as a city councilor and planning commissioner—roles that deepened my commitment to community and smart growth.

My business is built on referrals, and I’m proud to say that more than 90% of my clients come from trusted relationships and personal recommendations. My focus is simple: deliver great results, earn trust, and make the process as smooth and rewarding as possible.

I called Shawn to help sell my home after it had been sitting on the market for six months with no success. He quickly assessed the situation, suggested smart updates to make the property more appealing, and had it under contract within just a few weeks.

Because I was living out of state, the process could have been stressful, but Shawn handled countless details, reminded me of things I would have overlooked, and kept everything on track. From the moment I hired him, I felt confident I was in good hands, and that feeling never wavered—even when unexpected challenges came up.

I can’t recommend Shawn highly enough. Every realtor I work with in the future will have to measure up to the standard he set!

Shawn Watson helped navigate our home thru a VERY contentious divorce! His positive attitude and going above and way beyond his scope as a Relator speaks volumes! Shawn is more than an EXPERT in Real Estate! He is one of the kindest and fairest people you can ever meet. He worked hard to get the best price for our one of a kind estate! IF you need a Relator, you will have a hard time finding a better Relator anywhere. I have worked with several others, Shawn Watson is miles above the others I’ve worked with!!! You can’t go wrong with Shawn Watson! FIVE THUMBS UP.
THANK YOU SHAWN!!!!

Shawn is great to work with. We have known him for years and he has helped us with selling two of our houses during that time. He’s never pushy; likes some realtors we have met in the past, but always helpful and super responsive. He’s also just a really, really nice guy. ?? I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

I'm so glad Shawn was my realtor when I was buying my home in Oregon. He's a wealth of knowledge about the area and the real estate market, and he's always willing to go the extra mile for his clients.

I was a first-time homebuyer, and I had a lot of questions. Shawn was always patient and understanding, and he took the time to answer all of my questions. He also helped me find the perfect home for my needs, and he negotiated a great price for me.

I would highly recommend Shawn to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in Oregon. He's a great realtor, and he's a pleasure to work with!
