Meet Darren Shaw

Darren Shaw founded and leads ShawWood Property Management, bringing over 20 years of experience managing residential rental properties.

Darren is an Institute of Housing Management graduate from Humber College, completing the program in 2010. His approach is built around clear owner communication, consistent documentation, practical problem-solving, and reliable follow-through.

Owners work with a local decision-maker who understands the property, coordinates the people involved, and remains accountable for what happens next.

How ShawWood Works

Accountable Management

One coordinated management process keeps property information, communication, decisions, and follow-up connected.

Clear Decisions

Owners receive the context needed to approve repairs, understand tenancy concerns, and decide what happens next.

Flexible Service

The management approach reflects the property, from one rental home to a duplex, triplex, or small multi-unit building.

Serving Durham Region and Kawartha Lakes

ShawWood serves residential rental owners across Durham Region and select Kawartha Lakes communities. Availability is confirmed according to the property location, unit count, and the practical service network required.
