Shawn made the entire process of purchasing a home in Rehoboth Beach very straightforward. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local area and was able to provide detailed advice and answer all the questions we had. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and given the chance, I'd rely on his expertise again in the future.

Our experience with Shawn was exceptionally good. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable of the current local market. He created an aggressive. timeline and agenda for selling the house. He identified excellent and affordable contractors who could make timely repairs. He generated a sales brochure and package including photos of the house, rooms, and local area. He rapidly organized an open house and the house sold at the open house. He interacted with us and gave excellent guidance on the price negotiations. He provided detailed advice in the legal processes for settlement. He attended the settlement in our absence and suggested reliable, quick movers for us. We were very happy with his assistance and guidance throughout the selling process. I highly recommend him and his team.

"WOW....I can't say enough about the service Shawn provided our family. We looked at multiple homes and Shawn extensively educated us on the Rehoboth Beach area. He was proactive in finding what has turned out to be the perfect beach house. He asked great questions, listened, and guided us along every step in the process. Shawn negotiated well with the sellers and exceeded our expectations. I do not hesitate to highly recommend him for any of your local real estate needs. We have found the only Delaware real estate agent we will use in the future!!! :-) Thanks again Shawn!"

This is the second home Shawn acted as our agent - he is thorough, professional and helpful from beginning to end, offering advice along the way. He did a video walkthrough, sending us the links as we are out of town. I highly recommend Shawn for his professionalism and expertise in the market!

We cannot say enough about what a great job Shawn McDonnell did for us! We first met Shawn when he hosted an open house next door to us, and when we started exploring the idea of selling and moving, Shawn was happy to help. He walked through our house, and gave us frank guidance about what we should do if we wanted to list it, and how much he felt we should ask. Over the course of two years (!), Shawn patiently showed us well over a dozen properties, from condos to million-dollar listings, as we worked through the process of figuring out what we really wanted. When we finally found an area where we wanted to be, Shawn helped us meet with several builders to try and create our dream home. In the end, when we fell in love with a spec home under construction, Shawn helped us through the offer process, while simultaneously getting our existing home on the market. To our amazement, we were able to sell our home in just over a week, so quickly that we were homeless for a month before our new home was ready! Shawn helped us through both settlements, and has continued to follow up since, to make sure that everything has gone well for us. All in all, Shawn and his team made a difficult and stressful process as efficient and painless as possible, and truly made us feel that we have a friend in the real estate business.

Shawn was very aggressive at marketing my house. He was also very good at communication and responding to questions or concerns. He exceeded my recommendations. I have recommended Shawn to another potential seller.

Working with Shawn to find a home was a pleasure. He was professional and very easy to work with. We were purchasing a home from out of state and we needed a realtor who we could trust, be responsive and to ensure that the process went smoothly. Shawn was that person. With Shawn’s help we were able to find our dream home in two days. From the time of our initial offering to the closing, Shawn kept us informed of the process. In addition, Shawn responded almost immediately to the many questions we had. My wife and I have purchased and sold many homes and this was by far the most enjoyable experience. Shawn is knowledgeable and has a strong focus on his client’s needs. Without a doubt, I would recommend Shawn to anyone who is looking for a home in this area.

Shawn is an excellent realtor. He is knowledgeable about the local area, home construction/systems, negotiations and is very responsive by phone and email.

We felt that we were in very capable hands as he guided us through our search, purchase and settlement for our new home while answering our questions and making helpful suggestions in an easy manner.

Shaw is delightful to work with
Made the experience of buying a second home easy.. He is professional, understanding and very helpful
Even after closing I still can reach out to Shawn with questions and he is quick to response and to provide me with information I need
He is definitely a keeper ??

Shawn was awesome. He is very knowledgeable about the area and about real estate in general . He was very patient with my many questions and always available . He made our buying experience easy and I would definitely recommend him. I will call him again should I have any further real estate needs.

Shawn helped us find our home in Milton, DE. We were looking for a home that would serve as both home and business. I first contacted Shawn December of 2017, but did not meet him till February of 2018 due to my knee surgery. From the first moment we met him, Shawn understood our needs and immediately showed us possibilities that we were not even aware of.

There is no better realtor than Shawn McDonnell. He was friendly and easy to work with. He was patient and responded immediately
to all our text message and phone calls. Shawn understood what we were looking for and worked diligently to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. Shawn never gives up and when we finally found our home, we had many obstacles and Shawn worked hard to make sure the deal happened.

Shawn also is very connected to the area and knows a lot of people. Since we would be moving from Brooklyn, NY, we did not know anyone and asked for a lot of recommendations: lawyers, mortgage lenders, contractors, architects, accountants, handyman, landscaper, housecleaner. He has a great resource directory and we actually used most of his recommendations and they were all fantastic.

Shawn is the best and you will be in great hands in working with him. We highly recommend him!

Shawn could not have made our first time home buying experience any better. With my wife and I being completely new to the area AND first time home buyers, he had his work cut out for him. But he took care of everything throughout the home-search and home-buying process - any issues that came up were addressed immediately and in a professional manner. If Shawn hadn't been as proactive as he was with communicating between ourselves and the sellers, we wouldn't have been able to close and move in as soon as we did. Needless to say we would highly recommend him to anyone in the market for buying a home.

Shawn McDonnell was a true professional. He helped us buy a home in Milton, Delaware. He knew the area, the market, and helped us find just the right home for us.

Shawn was very professional but at the same time he did not Pressure us. He quickly figured out the type of home we were looking for and found several to show us. Once we made our decision he walked us through the entire process. We saw, offered, and settled in 3 weeks, WOW. I very highly recommend anyone to have Shawn be your realtor. He's also very sociable and funny.

Shawn was really great. As out-of-towners, not super familiar with the area, he was extremely helpful in helping us find what we were looking for; knowledgeable about the town of Lewes, as well as the surrounding area. He listened to what we wanted in a house, and was able to tailor a lot of the listings he showed us to those requests. Shawn was always very responsive, getting back to us right away, even later at night and on weekends. I would absolutely recommend Shawn as an agent if you’re looking for a house in the Rehoboth area.

The process of buying this house was very smooth. I was an out of state buyer and Shawn was instrumental in helping me navigate the closing process. He went above and beyond on all the aspects of this sale. When I had questions, he responded very quickly as he understood the timing was crucial. I would recommend Shawn without hesitation!!

Shawn was the ultimate professional and exceeded our expectations. His responsiveness and attention to details were a differentiator. He really cares about his client and their needs and consistently goes above what is needed. We will always use Shawn for our future needs.l and highly recommend

Shawn is very professional and knowledgeable about the local real estate market, and provided valuable insights for our recent home purchase. He responded quickly to our questions or concerns, and was very helpful through the entire home buying process. On top of that, he is a super nice person, and it was a pleasure working with him. We would highly recommend Shawn to others and would definitely work with him again.

Shawn exceeded all of our expectations. He went above and beyond to make sure that our house sold, and our new purchase went smoothly. He was easily accessible, contacted contractors on our behalf, answered lots of questions. You'll be in good hands with Shawn.

Shawn was an excellent resource and agent. He spent many weeks showing us around without any complaint or hesitation. When we purchased our house we were convinced it was the best fit for us. Today a year later we still feel this was the best house for us.

Shawn is the most energetic, professional and knowledgeable realtor we have ever dealt with. He helped us prepare our home for sale, priced it appropriately, marketed it expertly, and negotiated a ratified contract in 8 days! We could not have been more pleased and highly recommend him!

We can't say enough about what a great job Shawn McDonnell did for us! We couldn’t be happier about how smoothly both the sale of our previous home and purchase of our new one went, and it was all because of Shawn. We first met Shawn when he hosted an open house next door to us, and when we started exploring the idea of selling and moving, Shawn was happy to help. He walked through our house, and gave us frank guidance about what we should do if we wanted to list it, and how much he felt we should ask. Over the course of the last two years (!), Shawn patiently showed us well over a dozen properties, from condos to million-dollar listings, as we worked through the process of figuring out what we really wanted. When we finally found the neighborhood we wanted, Shawn helped us meet with several builders to try and create our dream home. In the end, when we chose a home already under construction, Shawn helped us through the offer process, while simultaneously getting our existing home on the market. To our amazement, we were able to sell our home in just over a week! Shawn helped us through both settlements, and has continued to follow up since, to make sure that everything has gone well for us. All in all, Shawn and his team made a difficult and stressful process as efficient and painless as possible, and truly made us feel that we have a friend in the real estate business.

We could have not asked for a better, more thoughtful, very knowledgeable and conscientious realtor than Shawn. This was our sixth home we have bought, so we are well versed on the home buying process but this was our first “second” home, in a different state. Shawn could not have been more accommodating to anything and everything we needed. He made the entire process, particularly through the worst (and unknown ) stages of Covid 19, the least stressful as possible. He took pictures, videos, helped with the purchase of furniture, advice and references to painters, electricians. You name it and he did it. He is not only an outstanding realtor, maybe even more importantly, he is simply put, a truly nice and very honest guy. We would without a doubt recommend Shawn to anyone for their next home purchase!

Shawn was a great Agent. He is persistent in his follow ups. Professional and responsive to his clients needs. Shawn was able to show us the house before it was listed. We bought it on the spot.

Shawn did a great job selling our lot. He was very professional and helped with all our questions. It was very hard as our land was owned by 4 siblings, and all had to agree and to sign documents from different parts of the country. He made the process easy for all of us and we appreciate the good help and service.

Shawn did an excellent job helping us navigate all the steps of buying a home. we were from out of state and not familiar with Delaware real estate. Shawn took his time to explain everything to us, schedule house showings around our schedule and followed up with the seller's agent to make sure the transaction goes smoothly. With us being far away, he helped us out up to the day of settlement. We really appreciated all his help and knowledge. We definitely recommend Shawn.

Shawn worked tirelessly for us to get our property. He is a consummate professional and so easy to work with; I cannot recommend him enough. Even after closing Shawn was helping us with details.

Shawn was amazing to work with. He was knowledgable, prompt with communication, and kept our needs top of mind. Shawn went the extra mile when listing our home and was able to see it in less than 3 days. He is top notch!

Shawn provided us with the best service. We really appreciate the time he spent with us while we were selling our home. We were so fortunate to have him guide us though this process. We faced competition with other homes in our community and the hardship of COVID-19. BUT, he reminded positive and encouraging. He always responded promptly to questions and concerns. We were so impressed by his wealth of real estate knowledge.
We would HIGHLY recommend him to others.
Thank you Shawn,
You are the BEST!
Cathy and Tony Harper

Shawn is a rock star agent! He is very proactive, responsive, efficient, and reliable. We’re so glad we worked with him to buy our Rehoboth Beach property. We plan to work with him again for future properties, and we’ve already referred him to other buyers.

Shawn McDonnell of the Carrie Lingo Team is an outstanding agent and what every person who is buying or selling a home needs in an agent. Extremely competent, professional, knowledgeable, resourceful, respectful and honest. From listing to closing, sold our home in one month! Outstanding customer service skills and kept us informed every step of the way. Answered our questions, offered suggestions and never pushy. His team works well together and is respectful to each other and their clients. Phenomenal experience working with Shawn and would recommend him to anyone who needs an exceptional real estate agent that will go the extra mile. Thank you Shawn!

As an out of state agent looking to sell our property in Rehoboth, we were very selective in regards to choosing an agent. A true standout amongst the agents we spoke with was Shawn McDonnell. His knowledge of the market, professionalism, responsiveness, and the superior way he presented and marketed our home were all outstanding. An over list price offer was received and accepted within six hours. Never once did we feel like just another listing, we felt like a valued client and friend. Whether you are looking to sell or buy, save your time and give Shawn a call.

Shawn and Amy were spectacular in my first home purchase. They are very knowledgeable about the local area and were extremely timely and accurate in their work. Best in the business and can’t thank them enough!

Shawn and his team were exceptional to work with. He was quickly responsive and easy to communicate with. He was attentive and listened to our needs. We felt very comfortable with him as our realtor and highly recommend him!

Shawn is not only the best realtor I've ever worked with (there have been a lot!) But he is also one of the nicest people I've ever met!
He and his staff were available 24/7 to answer any questions or concerns.
They helped make a difficult and confusing time run very smoothly.
I highly recommend them for anyone moving to the area they cover in Delaware.
THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!! ***************** (stars)

Shawn has been outstanding to work with. He is always available and able to provide expert answers to our questions and concerns. If he does not immediately know the answers, he is very diligent about finding them and following up to make sure they are the correct answers.

If you are looking for an attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and diligent real estate agent - Shawn is the one to work with when looking for a home in Lewes/Rehoboth Beach. We were so pleased with his attention to detail and his complete understanding of our likes and needs. As a result of this business and real estate sense - we found our FOREVER HOME! You can't go wrong with Shawn!

Shawn went above & beyond for us in our search for a new home. With his knowledge & expertise in Delaware real estate SHAWN guided us & made sure our purchase was the right one for us. Steering us away from homes he knew were not a good fit for our family. All this was crucial as we are relocating from Long Island and had to trust & rely entirely on SHAWN. I highly recommend SHAWN for all your real estate needs.

Shawn is one of the best agents I have ever had the pleasure to work with!
Very thorough and very focused on getting the property sold.
Even in an unexpected snowstorm.. he went the 25 extra miles and bought heaters and put them in our property so the pipes would not freeze.
He gets the job done... no whining, no complaining, ..just solving problems!

Shawn seems very knowledgeable in all areas so I would expect his negotiating skills are excellent also.
He is very timely with his responses to us whether via email, text, or phone.
We sold our condo with him Feb. 2021 and the process was seamless, we are out of state so one visit at closing was all it took!
Since then April 2021, he also assisted in finding a lot to build our forever retirement home.

Shawn is a rock star agent! He is very proactive, responsive, efficient, and reliable.

Shawn went over and beyond for us! If you are looking for a real estate agent that is exceptional, look no further. His attention to detail and follow through are superb.
