Coldwell Banker Legacy

Gary Shaw has been a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Legacy for six years, following a career one might not connect to Real Estate. After graduating with a Mechanical Engineering degree, Shaw worked as a Product Design Engineer for 24 years while dabbling as a musician, competitive swimmer and cyclist, and photographer. As time rolled on, he discovered an appreciation for architecture and interior design, which supplemented his participation in music, the arts, and the design of many things. During his own home purchases, Shaw discovered a passion for real estate and became a self-proclaimed “Open House Junkie.” During a lull in his Product Design career, he obtained a real estate license and dove in head first. “I soon realized talents that could help others buy and sell homes,” he says. His technical background and aesthetic interests provide his clients a unique perspective on Realty, by combining know-how of technology, science, and numbers with insight to the subtleties of light, form, and function of indoor/outdoor spaces and the systems that envelope them. Shaw says, “At the end of the day, knowing that I can help and have helped people keeps me going.” And it works. Shaw was awarded Rookie of the Year for Coldwell Banker, co-Rookie for the Greater Albuquerque Association of REALTORS®, and continues to grow his business helping others.
