About this employer

Established in 1980 as a Chartered Surveyor’s practice, and known then as Berkeley Kersh, we became known as Berkeley Shaw in 2003 when Mike Shaw FRICS took sole charge of the Crosby based business. In 2014, Mr Shaw retired and John Baybut MRICS took over the running of the business, subsequently opening additional offices in Formby, Southport and re-establishing its presence in Liverpool City Centre.

Berkeley Shaw Real Estate has grown organically and by acquisition following the takeovers of both Robert Carswell Property Management in Southport, and Keppie Massie Residential (KM Real Estate) in recent years.
