Put simply, Bob is a Real Estate Whisperer. He understands the markets he works in, develops a strong & lasting rapport with his clients, and runs rings around his competitors. I’ve known and utilized Bob’s services for over 20 years. His understanding of the details and nuances of buying & selling properties is unmatched. He doesn’t BS, and if he doesn’t have an answer, he tells you and then researches to find the answer. He knows when to listen when to let you take the lead, and most importantly, when to advise the best course of action to create a successful transaction. When we first started working together, he took the time to educate us on the finer points of evaluating the properties we looked at, but never pushed us to make a choice or offer that didn’t make sense. Bob (and his team) truly are consummate professionals that you will learn to trust and work with time after time.Rich.May 30, 2024
I don't know how to thank you or express how impressed I have been with your handling of this transaction. As you know I have been the principal professionally in at least 100 deals over the last 30 years and I believe that I would qualify as an expert in any court. You are the best. Your advice and suggested strategy was spot on and definitely yielded top price. If there is anything I can do to vouch for you or give you more please let me know. I would be
honoured to speak or write on your behalf at any time.Michael Grassmueck

Bob is the absolute best. He’s extremely hard working. He’s passionate about doing the right thing, all while lending incredible advice and navigating the stresses that come along with house buying. I can’t say enough good things about Bob. Trust him with everything, he won’t disappoint! Thank you, Bob!

I have worked with and recommended Bob Zawaski many, many times over the last 20+ years. His unfailing commitment to excellence for his buyers and sellers and years of experience stand out clearly from other agents. He has prompt and clear communication and strong negotiating skills. He truly cares about his clients, and I am happy to recommend him to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home.John Bruce February 12, 2019
I never am the person to give five star ratings on anything. Bob is the exception. He is an incredible agent that is patient, knowledgeable, understands the market, agents, buyers, sellers and everything in between. We were working with him for TWO YEARS looking for a home in this highly competitive market. Not once did we feel pressured or that we were not in good hands. Bob met us on countless listings. Helped us negotiate on numerous bids and advised us as if we were his own family. He masterfully and professionally navigated the negotiations, had good intuition on where the sellers and agents were at, as well as suggesting very smart and tactical bids. Bob is kindhearted, thoughtful and always quick to respond. He is punctual, observant and just a pleasure to work with. He knows his ins and outs of real estate, what the market commands and what type of costs is related to a fixer upper. His list of references for contractors and people he works with are stellar just as Bob himself. You can always tell the character of a man by his friends or in this case the character of an agent by is contractors and peers. I would recommend Bob any day of the week. He has helped my but two homes that I currently own in the past 12 yrs and will be an agent I come back to again and again. Simply put. There is no one better.

'No one gets rave reviews from his clients like Bob Zawaski does. Bob's real estate knowledge and attention to detail are astounding. More important is his passion for his clients and their outcomes. He listens well, works hard, negotiates strategically and solves problems like no other I've seen in my 20 plus years in this business. When I have real estate transactions of my own to do, there's only one agent I'll hire- Bob Zawaski."

Bob handled the purchase of a home we own with our daughter a little over a year ago...and he did an amazing job. Would recommend him highly for his easy going personality, professionalism and knowledge skills, but mostly for his integrity...which goes a long way with me!

I've purchased several properties with Bob's guidance and his communication skills, knowledge & tact in negotiating on my behalf have always resulted in a positive outcome far exceeding my initial expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bob to any of my Family, friends or co-workers.

Bob knew the markets better than others we have ever spoken to and we felt that he was always working in our best interests as buyers. He went above and beyond in trying to make contacts with other selling realtors and they could learn a thing or two from him as well. He was never late for a meeting at a home and was very knowledgeable in what to look for as an investment or "fix-it" issues. We would recommend him in a second!

Bob was an invaluable resource in locating my first home. He guided me in every aspect of the home buying process. After almost a year of looking he never gave up on the search. I always felt as though Bob was continuously working for me and my family's best interest. He never missed an appointment and he was always exceptionally punctual. Even after our home was located Bob continued to go above an beyond and ensured the process went as smoothly as possible. I would strongly recommend Bob to any-one!

My father recently passed away suddenly and left us his 65 year old home. We didn’t know where to begin. Bob Zawaski was highly recommended and now we know why. He looked at the house and suggested a sales price. In addition told us what we would need to do to get the house ready for sale. Frankly, we were going to spend extra money which would not have increased the sales value. We calculate that Bob saved us more than $5,000. We followed his list as you would follow a recipe. The result was that the house was sold for more than we had imagined and it was sold in one day! We would highly recommend Bob to anyone without hesitation!
