Native Houstonian Gregory Shaw has built a portfolio of stellar achievement and service as a residential Realtor. Gregory understands the lifestyle requirements of senior clients as well as those with young families, professional couples, and empty nesters. "Whether my clients are purchasing or selling their home, I'm their advocate from the beginning of the process to the closing and beyond," he says. "We are in it together." A skilled negotiator, Gregory always represents his clients" best interests and is exceptionally empathetic to each one's unique situation and needs. He appreciates the magnitude of the investment his clients are making, and is sensitive to the importance a home plays in people's lives. "I was a teacher for 11 years before switching my career to residential real estate sales in 2008. I understand that my client's home is more than a structure; often, it's where they hope to raise, or have raised, their family. They are making a big change and I want to help them to navigate through it successfully." Gregory takes an active role in community and professional concerns. He holds the Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation and has served on the Houston Association of Realtors Public Affairs Committee. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in history and a Master of Public Administration from the University of Houston, graduated from the United States Marine Corps boot camp, and received an honorable discharge from the Marine Reserves. When time permits, Gregory is an ardent soccer fan and enjoys watching English Premier League football (soccer) with his wife.
