Kathy Shaw Durham, NC Real Estate Agent Headshot

Kathy Shaw

I earned a degree in Chemistry and a minor in Art History from the University of Tennessee and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. I began my post-MBA career in Boston working for a marketing consulting firm managing teams who were developing marketing campaigns for GM, Chevrolet, and AT&T.
 
After a few years, I went to work in the business development group of a large brand advertising firm on Massachusetts’ North Shore. Here, I helped to build the firm’s direct marketing capabilities and managed teams developing marketing campaigns for Eddie Bauer, Federated Investors, Harvard Vanguard, and others. I love being part of a creative business process and the thrill of delivering to exceed clients’ expectations.

Read what my clients have to say about working with me.
Resourceful, savvy, and supportive. Working with Kathy Shaw on our recent home purchase in the greater Chapel Hill/Carrboro area was a real pleasure. We began our search as out-of-town buyers and relied heavily on Kathy to explore several options on our behalf. She not only arranged private viewings of each of the properties we had targeted after identifying them through the various listing services, but also prepared short videos for our use. She then typically contacted the sellers’ agent to gather background information on the sellers and the properties in question. When we were subsequently able to make a home buying trip to the area in person, Kathy pre-arranged appointments for us to see several properties, and then worked late into the evening and on a holiday (!) to help us submit what was eventually a successful offer on a home that was in heavy demand. Throughout this process, Kathy proved herself to be resourceful, savvy, and creative – someone we came to trust implicitly. She used her extensive professional connections to put us in touch with mortgage brokers, lawyers, home inspectors, surveyors, structural engineers, and building contractors. On top of all of that, she was warm, genuine, and supportive – someone who was looking out for our best interests. I’d recommend her to prospective home buyers and sellers in a heartbeat.

Kathy is awesome! She listed and sold our home in 9 days in the middle of home quarantine and got us a full price offer (which was way higher than I originally thought we could get). She has great contacts for painting, repairs, and staging. The photos and video she arranged were phenomenal. She worked so hard for us to get our home the level of interest we needed during the challenging times with COVID. Then she helped us find our dream home to buy and represented us as our buyer's agent. She got our offer accepted, and we closed on time! We couldn't have been more pleased. Highly recommend!

Comprehensive services, knowledgeable, personable, integrity. We chose Kathy Shaw to represent us in the sale of our home because of the comprehensive services she provides, her personable demeanor in working with people, her knowledge of the real estate business, and her experience in the sale of properties. These characteristics, and her honest business integrity, made us feel comfortable having her present our property to the real estate market. During the sale process, Kathy was readily accessible and responsive to any questions or concerns that we had, and she handled all transactions with our complete satisfaction.

Kathy is knowledgeable about the area and easy to interact with during what is often a stressful process. She is smart, compassionate, and will help you find the right place for your family or get a fair price for your home.

Kathy was great to work with. She is honest, thoughtful, and hard-working. She had great contractors to help get the house prepared to market and kept a tight rein on the to-do list so that everything went smoothly. She also had great advice on pricing the house and knew the area and market trends. We had 20+ viewings in the first few days and an offer within a week. I recommend her without any reservations!

David T.
Kathy is truly exceptional as a real estate agent! She is extremely responsive and available. She inquired and listened very intently to what I was looking for in my next home. She applied her impressive knowledge to locate listings that checked off everything important to me and my family! She provided analysis on the local market and useful documentation for the listed properties. She is very patient and pleasant to work with! She followed up during the house hunting, through closing, and afterwards, providing a trusted list of service providers, whether for flooring, electrical, handyman work, etc., all of whom provide exceptional work at reasonable prices. I cannot recommend Kathy more!

Buyer
Kathy did everything for us! Kathy brought a full-price offer in seven days from a terrific buyer. She also supervised the updates and kept us on schedule before listing. We hadn’t moved in almost twenty years, so we needed lots of help, which Kathy was happy to provide.
