Meet Henry Shim

"We just found the home of our dreams through Henry Shim! Henry and his team have been amazing to work with. They are responsive, on time, easy to work with and worked hard to find us just the right home. Their guidance invaluable and execution when the time came, was spot on. They helped us learn when to wait when we felt hurried, and yet were right there to “jump” when the right house became available so that we could secure the contract and close on the house. I highly recommend Henry Shim Group. What an awesome experience!"

"We can’t say enough great things about the Henry Shim Real Estate Group. After trusting Henry and his team through three separate home purchases plus two sales of our homes, it’s clear they are far more than just real estate agents; they are true partners you can rely on. Every step of the way, Henry demonstrated exceptional expertise, honesty, and guidance. He took the time to truly understand our needs, whether it was finding the right home for our family or making smart decisions from an investment standpoint. We never felt rushed or pressured, only supported and informed. What truly sets the Henry Shim Real Estate Group apart is the level of trust they build. Real estate isn’t just a transaction; it’s about family, long-term goals, and financial confidence. Henry treats it exactly that way, always acting in our best interest and providing thoughtful advice backed by deep market knowledge. If you’re looking for a team that values relationships over transactions and delivers results with integrity, and are looking in the greater Seattle areas, we wholeheartedly recommend the Henry Shim Real Estate Group. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. He's an expert in Seattle and beyond!"

"I knew when it was time to buy a home again, I had to reach out to Henry Shim who was stellar on my first home buying and selling experience ten years ago. Henry taught me the ropes of home buying (condo) and made my decision to sell an easy one as well. This time we had the pleasure of working with Akash Sandhu and the experience was just as delightful and rewarding. Akash worked with our very tight timeline and budget while providing so much knowledge on buying a single family home. My two girls loved seeing him every time we went to a potential home. The best compliment I can give is when we pulled up to our new home for the first time after the sale and my 3 year old asks "Where's Akash? He coming?" That right there melted my heart and validated why we recommend the Henry Shim Group."

"Henry is absolutely top notch. You'll notice the different right away in his communication, knowledge, and experience in the industry. He's available when needed, dependable, and we absolutely we will plan on working with him and his team again in the future- both on the buying and selling side."

"My husband and I were first-time homebuyers and were SO lucky to have worked with Henry and Akash. We started the process with zero knowledge about what to look for when buying a home, but they guided us every step of the way with incredible patience and insight. Thanks to everything we learned from them, when we finally found our home, we felt 100% confident and happy with our decision. They are absolutely great people to work with."

"We bought our home in Seattle in late summer 2025 with Henry -- he is amazing and we loved working with him! Henry was super knowledgeable and experienced, responsive, and all-around fun to work with. He is really good at his job and got to know us and our preferences as we worked together through the summer. Once we were ready to make an offer, he walked us through the process and helped us get the house at a great price. Would definitely work with him again the next time we buy/sell!"

"Henry is one of the best agents and humans I know. He worked with us for 2 years to find the right house. He was detailed and candid on his thoughts of each home. He looked around the corner on things we couldn’t see and saved us a lot of future headaches. There were plenty of opportunities where he could have just agreed with us and moved on but he always spoke his mind and worked with us to find the absolute perfect house. He was also proactive on ensuring title closing, financing, and punch lists were completed. Thank you Henry !"

"Buying a home in the Renton Highlands was a big step for us—we wanted to be closer to family and friends, but needed more space as ours was growing. The Henry Shim Group didn’t just help us find a house; they helped us find the right home. From the very first tour, they were honest and thorough, pointing out things we overlooked so we didn’t make a decision we’d regret. They were always responsive, patient, and truly cared about what mattered to us. Their local expertise gave us confidence, and thanks to their guidance, we made an early offer that beat the competition and closed quickly—all without breaking the bank. Now, we’re settled in and couldn’t be happier. Our new home is everything we hoped for, and we’re so grateful for their support during such an important chapter in our lives. I can’t recommend the Henry Shim Group enough!"

"Two awesome realtors and people. They were so easy to work with and really listened when we spoke. The years of knowledge and eagerness to keep up with the market is unmatched. Even with the craziness of the market in 2023 and other things beyond their control, we still felt we had their attention and were being taken care of. It's been 2 years in our forever home and it would have never happened without Henry and Akash. Forever grateful for their friendship and will always recommend them to anyone and everyone."

"Henry is an exemplary professional with unmatched resourcefulness and practical knowledge around home buying and selling. He has the fastidious eye of a top-notch appraiser and a lucid understanding of real estate economics. His empathy and candor make him an ideal guide on the daunting journey of a home buyer. I wholeheartedly recommend the Henry Shim group."

"Thank you so much, Akash and Henry, for guiding us through the process of buying our home. We spent a couple of months searching for the perfect place, and Akash was amazing in touring us through so many homes until we finally closed on the one we wanted. We truly appreciate your patience, support, and expertise throughout this journey!"

"We were referred to Henry & Akash via a friend. On day one Akash listened, took notes and in no time he had things rolling. The house was placed on the market and that evening we had a walk through from an interested couple. By end of day they made an offer and the house was off the market. All this because Akash and Henry have just the best professional personalities that mesh well."

"Henry and Akash are the best in the business. Our process of buying a house took over a year and throughout the entire time they were always patient and never rushed us into making any quick decisions. They really took the time to understand our needs and were always transparent and honest with us from the beginning. Not only did they show us houses but they also taught us things along the way. Things to keep an eye out for, the good stuff and the bad. We loved the learning process. Their dedication, availability, and most importantly their knowledge throughout the process is something we are so thankful for. Buying a house can be stressful process but they made it easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!"

"Henry and Akash were an absolute dream team! They went above and beyond throughout the entire process of listing and selling our home. We could not have asked for anything more. Truly the best!"

"I highly recommend Akash and Henry as real estate representatives and professionals! At time of my listing, Akash was much more enthusiastic about getting us top dollar for our listing in Tacoma than other realtors we contacted (…2 other very experienced realtors estimated a lower price (nearly 10 %!)). Akash found amazing stagers and performed a pre-inspection on our behalf. He successfully negotiated a full asking price as a result in a short time period. Thru-out the sellers inspection and up to closing he successfully managed working with very demanding buyers and their agent to represent us to ensure only minimal repairs were actually needed to be performed. Akash and Henry clearly have gained much experience thru-out their careers in challenging Seattle markets and listings and I highly recommend them."

"Henry and his team were outstanding partners throughout both the sale of our home in West Seattle and the purchase of our new home in Edmonds. He made what can be a complex and stressful process feel smooth, easy, and as frictionless as possible every step of the way. Highly recommend Henry and team to anyone buying or selling in the greater Seattle area."

"We just closed on a house as first time homebuyers and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience because of Henry. Before meeting with Henry, we had zero experience in the home buying journey; no clue as to what to look for in a home; how to invest wisely for future upside; and how to have the right expectations for this whole thing. Henry guided us through the whole process, was super responsive, answered questions he knew we’d have before we would even ask them, help us build a strategy for the first house we made an offer on, and ultimately got our offer accepted. From the first contact through touring homes, negotiating, securing finances, and closing, he guided us step by step. He’s a skilled agent who can instantly build a rapport with anyone. I especially appreciated the extra dimension of considering resale. Although I’d love to think we’ll be in our house forever, the reality is that we may one day want to or have to move. In having us consider making decisions not only to get us into this home but also to be able to invest in a property that would be desirable to sellers in the future IF that’s what it came to, I felt he was not only taking care of us today but also he was looking out for our future selves. Knowing you’re putting your trust in someone who not only has your best interest at heart today but also tomorrow and years from now, especially when there’s so much money involved, is a rare and priceless feeling."

"As first-time homebuyers, we could not have asked for a better partner than Henry. During our home walkthroughs, his expertise was invaluable; he pointed out critical details we completely missed or hadn’t thought about, from roof types and flooring to layout functionality and potential ways to remodel. He was incredibly honest about the pros and cons of every property, proving he genuinely put our interests first.Henry worked seamlessly with our schedules and made us feel fully supported. When it came time to bid on a house, the process was intimidating, but Henry walked us through the exact mechanics of the offer. He made sure we were completely comfortable, deployed brilliant bidding strategies, and secured the exact home we wanted. If you want an agent who acts as a true advisor and master strategist, hire Henry!"
