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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Working with Jan Burkhardt and Kevin Shaw is always a pleasure. Jan was our primary contact during our sale and she went over and beyond. We highly recommend Jan and Kevin. They are a great team.purchase from Kevin and we couldn’t be happier with his service. We rolled a sale and purchase into this one and though it was hectic, Kevin assured us at all times that things would go smooth and as planned, which they did. Kevin is very responsive and reassuring, always there when called. He goes above and beyond, we would recommend him to anyone.

I am honored to write this testimonial for Kevin Shaw. Kevin has been the Leasing Agent for our condo in South Down Shores, Laconia, NH since February 2012. He has managed our short-term and long-term rentals.
We live in Boston, Massachusetts, and have never had to worry about our condo since leaving it in Kevin’s hands. Here are a few of the skills and attributes that we value in Kevin and that make our lives easier as rental/investment property owners:
- 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;
- He provides “concierge level service.” He is always professional and responsive to both renters and property owners, with a warm/welcoming personality. He manages relationships well and is a pleasure to work with.
I would never hesitate to refer business to Kevin.

We had a great experience with Roche Realty and Kevin Shaw, who was actually the seller’s agent but helped us out immensely as buyers of a Laconia condo. He was honest, extremely knowledgeable about the area and property, and went out of his way to correct a minor miscommunication post-sale.
Highly recommend Kevin and Roche Realty!
