Kevin handles all facets of real estate within the Lakes Region, and also handles property management.

What Our Clients Say

I am not here to sell homes. I am here to educate buyers and sellers. The more informed my clients are, the more comfortable they are. A home is the largest investment most people make and I want them to be confident that I am there to protect their interests and put them in the best possible position. I am extremely grateful to all my clients to allow me the opportunity to work with them.

Margaret Stevens

Client

Kevin Shaw made selling my home a great experience. I never had to worry about a thing. He is an amazing realtor and an amazing person! Thank you, Kevin!

Jay Redmond

Client

I would highly recommend Kevin Shaw of Roache Realty. I met Kevin when I first came to the Lakes region and formed a lasting relationship with him. Kevin has sold properties to many friends and acquaintances, all of whom, reported being very satisfied with him. 
 Kevin’s low-pressure approach to finding the right property for the buyer is often commented on. This low-stress approach has helped friends relocating to the lake enjoy shopping for property with Kevin. Kevin’s vast knowledge of current listings and properties that will soon be coming available make him a true resource for folkes new to the area.
 Give him a try. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Dirk Nadon

Client

Selling a house, especially when it’s a HOME, is a business transaction, a big personal decision, and can often be a mixed bag of feelings.

Regardless of the market conditions, I’ve found that it’s especially important to have a Professional Agent handle the delicate matters of when to sell, how to price the property, and how to get to the finish line and closing. So many factors like surprise complications, negotiations, items that are out of your control or even a clash of personalities can derail what might otherwise be a successful transaction.

From my experience, and observing the successes and failures of others, I think it’s beyond important to have an ADVOCATE in your corner. Someone who specializes in this work every day to help you get from beginning to successful end when selling a home. I believe Kevin Shaw IS that Advocate. And in my case, we had a few hurdles to overcome in the sale of my home. All throughout, Kevin was available, stable, reasonable, and always prepared with solutions to problems so all parties get to their goals and enjoy success.

I just wanted to offer my highest compliment and thanks to Kevin Shaw for his composed, positive, and helpful hand getting me get to the finish I wanted.

We have used Kevin for both our personal and investment properties. He is truly a pleasure to work with and has a vast knowledge of the real estate industry. Professional, Responsive and the only Realtor we or you should ever use.

Keith Stevens

Client

Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We had not been looking for a home for long before we found him, and it was clear we didn’t need to look any further. He was responsive every step of the way. Sent us houses on the market, or that were going to be going on the market. We live pretty far away, so he was very flexible in arranging times to show us places (including on short notice). He also knows everyone, so he was able to recommend good handy-men/women, contractors, landscapers…
He also knows or finds out all the different rules (such as HOA) that come with each property in certain neighborhoods. He goes above and beyond and we really enjoyed working with him.

Heather Toole

Client

Kevin Shaw was a pleasure to work with and made the sale of our home easy! He was so knowledgeable about the market and what constitutes a good offer, and guided us through the process of selecting the best offer for us. He was a partner in the process, working toward getting us the most for our home, as painlessly as possible. His relaxed demeanor and attention to detail kept the stress level low from start to finish.

Johanna Buoncontri

Client

Kevin Shaw came highly recommended to my husband and I through friends who also worked with him. We worked with Kevin on both a property search and a property sale in the Southdown Community. Kevin is everything you want in a RE professional. He knows the whole South Down/Long Bay community very well along with the rest of the NH Lakes Region.

Along with being a great guy and enjoyable to deal with Kevin is an expert at his job. He’s creative, flexible, resourceful and does what it takes to get the job done. We are grateful to have worked with Kevin. He made it easy and painless and we really couldn’t recommend Kevin Shaw anymore! Definitely call him – you will not be disappointed!

Deb Vargo

Senior Fixed Income Portfolio Manager

Kevin is one of those rare individuals who truly listens to what is important for our needs. We have known him for many years and he has responded to many fact-finding requests that didn’t result in any transactions but we never felt that he was not willing to help. So, when we did have opportunities to make changes in our real estate we felt very comfortable reaching out to Kevin for expert help. Our experience has been that he is receptive, informative, and available in a ‘non-pushy’ way. We are happy to provide insight to anyone wanting to hear additional comments.

Marie Odonnell

Client

Kevin Shaw is the best!! We first met Kevin when we went to an open house, he had listed but we had the wrong day. The owner of the condo called Kevin and he came right over and was able to show us the house and give us a tour and info on the community of South Down Shores. We had just sold a lake house we had for 20 years in another state and knew nothing about the Laconia area. Kevin is very knowledgeable about the area and community. He is honest, professional, funny, and makes you feel comfortable by not pressuring you into any deals. Kevin responded to our many questions right away and was very flexible with his time as we were coming from another state to view properties. Thanks to Kevin he found the perfect place for us. We highly recommend Kevin Shaw and the Roche Group for any of your real estate business.

Gabe Gabrielli

Client

Kevin Shaw made our purchase extremely easy and even pleasant. When we were serious as buyers, he made recommendations based on vast experience of the South Down/Long Bay development to best present our offer and move quickly, again if we were serious.

Kevin dealt with the selling agent well into the evening to make sure he was able to present our best foot forward, and ultimately was successful. He put us in touch with a recommended finance company and offered his local office for the closing which made the whole experience as easy as it could be.

He also got us connected with all the involved parties in the development, to make sure we could have any questions or concerns answered.

Can’t really say anything else except he knows his job, does it well – AND is one of the nicest guys you could meet.

Chris Phelps

Client

I had an outstanding experience with Roache Realty Group, specifically with my agent Kevin Shaw. My parents needed to move into an assisted living facility, and I had the task of selling our family home of 50 years. To say it was a stressful period for me would be an understatement. To make matters more difficult, I live in Connecticut, nearly four hours from Laconia. Kevin was thoughtful, he listened, he gave insightful advice, and he went ‘the extra mile” for me when I ran into communication/travel difficulties. Kevin, and Roche Realty, made an emotional process manageable.

 

 

 

Anthony Cheek

Client

We recently sold our house in Gilford and used Kevin Shaw as the listing agent. Kevin and the Roche team had the photos taken and the listing prepared and posted quickly. The house was under agreement within a week. Kevin is great to work with and stayed in touch throughout the sales process. Kevin is also dedicated to the community, and youth sports in particular. He donates both time and money to local organizations and that is a primary reason we chose to use Kevin-knowing the commission we paid will stay local and part of it will support great causes we believe in. We highly recommend Kevin to anyone in the Lakes Region in need of a realtor.

Tom Judge

Junebug

Client

I’m very grateful that I was able to connect with Kevin Shaw as my realtor this year. As a first time home buyer I really needed to lean on the expertise of an experienced and knowledgeable realtor. I could tell right away that Kevin knew what to look for in a home and gave me very informed answers to my questions. I could also tell that kevin was more interested in finding me the right house than he was just making a sale. I remember becoming discouraged in the search and Kevin saying “don’t worry the right ones gonna come along”. I’m not sure I believed him … lol but he was right.
Kevin knew the kind of house I was looking for and was very committed to helping me find what I needed. He reached out to me right away when the right listing showed up.
The entire process couldn’t have been smoother and I am loving living in my new home!!
I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking to buy or sell.
I praise and thank my Lord Jesus Christ for answering my prayer for a home. 🙏 it seems He moved Heaven and earth to do so ….and i am confident that He chose Kevin to facilitate the whole process.
Thank you Kevin for doing such a stellar job!!

  • His has a thorough understanding of the real estate market and the needs of renters and investment property owners, as well as buyer and sellers;
  • He is a great resource. He is well connected and respected by his peers, customers and vendors; and when an issue arises Kevin always recommends a solution;
  • His excellent attention to detail. He is meticulous, organized with great follow-up/follow through;

Client June 2021

My husband and I just purchased a condo in Laconia and we fully acknowledge that we wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Kevin. His network in the area and knowledge of the region were instrumental in helping us find our place. Looking for a property on the lake while living out of state and during a worldwide pandemic could have been overwhelming and frustrating. Yet, Kevin was able to make the process easy and stress-free. He connected us to properties quickly, was responsive to all of our questions, and gave us honest and candid feedback along the way. If you are looking for a place in the lakes region, set yourself up with the BEST partner and call Kevin.

I had the good fortune of working with Kevin Shaw at Roche Realty with the sale of my condo. Kevin had all the marketing materials, including the professional photos set within a day of signing on with him as seller’s agent.

I can’t thank Kevin and the team at Roche Realty enough for making it easy to do business.
