"My wife & I own a few investment properties purchased from various companies and can unequivocally say that working with David Shaw and his team for the last few years has been the best choice we have made in our real estate investing career.  Dave is the most straight-forward, honest person we have dealt with in the real estate investment business. 

Dave is extremely passionate about what he does and always takes the time to explain or address any concerns or questions we have had and has always made us feel comfortable.  Dave is incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate business and understands what it takes to run a successful business as both a seller and an investor.  Dave has gone above and beyond to ensure we are happy and satisfied customers and it's because of his integrity and generosity of both time and knowledge that we will continue to be long time investors with Dave and West Florida Invest.  Thank you Dave and team for making real estate investing accessible, educational and enjoyable!"

Michael and Jennifer D, New York, New York

"From a Cashflow of $800 to $6400/mth"

"I wanted to let you know that we successfully met the terms of our 1031 exchange. 
So many people have contributed to this amazing milestone for us but I want to tell you specifically how you encouraged me on our first consulting call last March 2020.  

I did not feel like I was doing business with you.  I felt like you really sat with me in this process. Rather than sell or give a spiel, you mentored. I felt you virtually hold my hand and bring necessary calm and focus and professional perspective.  You made me relax, breathe and apply thought to what I wanted to do.  In short, I have learned much in our discussions but that first counselling was especially significant to me where you put aside the presentation and gave me the attention, questions and space so I could reflect and plan logically.  I held onto that strength and confidence you imparted to me.
​
Rather than sugar-coating, you have a way of confidently pulling back the curtain while keeping the calm as we delve in.  Of course, it was a whirlwind when we finally dove in, but I knew you are an able and trustworthy captain and that we'd make it through.  And we did!

(FYI, we went from 1 rental with a cash flow of less than $800, to 8 homes anticipating $6400/mo)"

"David is a wealth of information in regard to investing and the Tampa market. He spent so much time helping my husband and I when we visited Tampa showing us around. He is the most honest and transparent person and I would definitely recommend working with him!"

Megan Y - Costa Mesa, CA
​"Not only is David Shaw a consummate professional, but he is someone I respect as a person of integrity, honesty and hard work -- and who I simply enjoy working with! He really knows his stuff on real estate investing, and is extremely strategic in identifying good geographic areas in which to invest and appropriate levels of finish to maximize return for that area. I highly recommend him."

Craig T - McLean, VA
"David went out of his way to listen to what I needed and wanted, provided excellent recommendations that were right for me and did not just benefit him, and overall is a pleasure to work with! He's very transparent, knowledgeable, and easy to work with."
Kayla L - Oceanside, CA
"Hi David,
Wanted to personally thank you for paving the path for me and a successful 1031 exchange. Looks like I will get close to tripling my cash flow and now have five properties in Florida since working with you.
Apple and Travis have been great and am learning to be a better investor all the time.

​Hope you are well. Have a great Thanksgiving."
 
Bill S, California
"I have always found David Shaw to be trustworthy and hard working in pursuing our goal of developing a rental real estate portfolio in Florida. We've bought 3 properties through Torcana and they've all performed as planned and promised. MW"
 
Michael W - Gig Harbor, Washington
"I cannot recommend Dave Shaw and his team highly enough. Dave is one of the most straight-forward, no-nonsense business owner I have ever dealt with. His communication and responsiveness is top notch and his level of knowledge instills confidence. He takes his work very personally and will go out of his way to ensure you are satisfied. We have purchased three properties with Dave and will not hesitate to purchase our next investment property with him in the future!"
 
Michael D - Huntington, New York
“David was a great help in the purchase of my condo apt at Hamilton's Harbor Drive, S.C.. I continue to receive valuable monthly income from this investment.
Thanks a lot. A chara.”

Alan J - Baguio City, Benguet Philippines
“I first had contact with David in 2012 when I wanted to buy a property in Florida. From the first telephone interaction he was friendly and helpful I never once felt pushed or persuaded to buy. Every request for information was dealt with promptly and reliably. I was actually taking a huge risk, buying a property I had never seen, but I was sure that I was being dealt with by a true professional whose main interest was to find me a good property for my budget. I was not disappointed.

The property was excellent and I did have the pleasure of meeting David when I eventually travelled to Florida to see my apartment.I would not hesitate to contact David again if I ever needed his help in finding me another property.”
 
Patricia M - Kidderminster, Shropshire UK
“I have been working with David Shaw for about a year now.He is very professional, and goes above and beyond to help his clients. I had a few minor issues with property I purchased. David was very responsive and fixed issues straight away.

I am looking forward to continuing my business relation with him. I highly recommend David Shaw.”
 
Sanjiv S - Andover, MA
“I started off knowing David as the guy who sold me my first American property ten years ago. Since that time I have bought several more properties through him and David and his family have become good friends of mine. I know David on both a professional and personal level. He is a smart businessman with valuable knowledge and insight into the real estate industry. He is the guy I talk to for advice on purchasing income properties. I respect his ethics, morals and honesty. I have known other people in this industry and David is the guy I trust. He is the one who got me started and he is one of the main reasons why I’m hoping to leave my day job soon to live off my real estate portfolio and the income it brings me.”
 
Derek R - Yorkton, Sk Canada
“I have known David for over a decade now. We have worked together on projects. I have made investments with him and Colin and we have established a very good professional relationship

I think David is one of the brightest people I know in the real estate world. He has developed a deep understanding about the market in his part of the world. He has been able to identify properties that can be renovated at reasonable cost and generate good income for his investors.

David's new venture in new builds will expand upon his extensive construction management skills and he will be able to transfer what he has learned from restoring older homes into today's modern livable homes.

I look forward to continuing exploring investment opportunities with David around the world. I trust his judgement, his commitment, and most of all hiss ability to identify sound investment strategies in difficult investment environments.”

Randall M - Sacramento, CA 
“I've been working with David Shaw as an out-of-state investor for the last 3 years. I've purchased homes in several other markets and David has really earned my trust. He has provided valuable insight to help guide my purchases but has really shown his strength in helping handle some difficult situations. I had 2 highly unusual circumstances with property/tenant issues that David immediately stepped up to help handle.

​One situation occurred the Friday before a Christmas holiday. David met with several people including my property manager, subcontractors and tenant to resolve an issue my property manager had quoted me would cost several thousand dollars. David has exceptional ability to communicate with tenants, property managers and contractors which is exactly what I need as an out-of-state investor.”
 
Kurt N - Fargo, ND
"I met David a few years ago, while I was living in California and looking for real estate
investment opportunities. The first time my husband and I arrived in the Tampa Bay Area, David met with us. It’s hard to describe his hospitality, other than that he treated us like family members.He gave us a world class tour, and spent a lot of time showing us different neighborhoods for investing.  
 
His knowledge about the area and his high level of professionalism helped inform our decision to move to the area. After over 25 years of living in the San Francisco Bay Area, we moved to Tampa Bay and are so glad that we did. We invest, work, and thrive here.  Thank you David, we consider you a great friend. I would recommend David to any serious real estate investor in the blink of an eye!"

​Grace R - Clearwater, FL
​“It is a great pleasure to recommend David Shaw.
He is a straight up competent, real estate specialist and expert in the St.Petersburg Tampa, Ft. Meyer area. He has great personal integrity which includes to himself and his time. Respect that and he will make things happen for you like he has and will for me. I very much like working with him and have recommended him to friends and family. He is a long-term member of my wealth team.”
