Tim is a remarkable force. He is fiercely passionate about helping everyone reach their highest potential. He is tirelessly giving his time, energy, knowledge and support to the team and it shows. He has helped take our Group to the next level!

Joseph A. Myszka

We both bought and sold a home with Tim in 2014 Both transactions went farther smoother than they otherwise would have *only* because of Tim's expertise. SALES SIDE - Tim expertly handled all of the pre-sale work for our house, including arranging inspections, lined up handymen & trades people, developed a marketing plan and went to market all with very little support from us. He transformed a fairly lived-in place to a completely fresh model home at very little expense. Tim's pricing advice was spot on. Despite being in a tough location where a few other properties struggled, we had a solid offer in no time (above asking) and Tim saw the deal through to completion. He handled everything he could (of course he can't sign the papers) and made sure we were kept in the loop at all times. BUY SIDE - We had a pretty good idea of our "must haves/wants/don't wants" and we provided that long list to Tim. He helped us sort through which neighborhoods made the most sense for us, and we toured a number of places throughout the peninsula to get a sense of comparability and tradeoffs of each potential neighborhood. When a perfect house for us suddenly came up in our *ideal* neighborhood, Tim called us immediately and we were on site at the first opportunity. We toured the house a couple more times in the following days as we were making our decision. Tim's expert guidance helped us craft a perfect offer and avoid the ever-feared "bidding-war." (I won't share Tim's tricks of the trade - if you want to know how to do this you have to hire him). Tim also expertly managed our extremely quick closing, while we were laying on the beach in another time zone. Following closing, Tim managed a slew of third-party tradespeople that were required to get the house in tip-top shape before move in. TAKE AWAYS - Tim is extraordinarily professional,knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, dedicated and honest. Period. He's not gimmicky or looking to push you into the first deal that comes across. He's adept at modeling the cost for improvements and financing alternative, is patient, and appreciates that clients are not one-size-fits-all.

Tim was the reason we are now happily in our new home. We worked with him for about 4 months before we found our house. He was very patient, professional and most importantly showed us that he had our best interest at heart. He was super detail-oriented and noted important things in the disclosure documents that we needed to be aware of. His background in structural engineering also made him a great asset to have on our side when evaluating older homes. Even after we moved in, he was still offering his help to get us settled in and gave us lots of advice on remodeling and finding contractors. I highly recommend Tim if you are in the market for a new home.
