I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with some amazing people! I’ve asked them to share what it was like to work with me
“Discount Broker.” “You get what you pay for.” Get ready to hear those phrases a lot when you ask brokers from traditional real estate firms, or even friends, about using Redfin to buy or sell a house. And let me unequivocally state: Yes, Tim isn’t on the same levels as those traditional brokers – he’s better. Much, much better. We bought our new house AND sold our old house with Tim, and he shined in every aspect of both transactions. He was ultra-knowledgeable of the market, gave us the exact right advice as far as pricing, was super-present and returned calls and texts immediately, helped connect us to the myriad of folks who provide every service you need during this time (inspectors, plumbers, electricians, handymen, etc.), calmed us down when we needed it, pumped us up when we needed it, and became the best ally/friend/professional you could hope for during these stressful weeks you’re upending your entire life. His demeaner and attitude were always perfectly suited for whatever the situation required – from Zen calmness to appropriate aggressiveness. That’s not an easy spectrum to cover, but Tim did it effortlessly and with aplomb. He also managed to perfectly time the escrows on our sale and purchase, an almost impossible task. So, understand that when competing brokers try to talk down Redfin, they’re doing that because the business model is changing and, quite frankly, their excessive profit margins are in danger. They’re scared to death of Redfin and agents like Tim. And they should be. I wish “now me” could talk to “then me” and tell me not to hesitate at all and hire Tim – ask Tim for my number because I’m happy to talk to you as well. Save on that commission and hire a top-notch agent who’s also a wonderful person -- it’s a no-brainer. You’re welcome.”

"Tim did an amazing job!! We were working with a VERY difficult seller and he handled it beautifully!! He always kept me in the loop and told it to me straight! There was unfortunately always a hidden agenda with the seller but NEVER with Tim!! He definitely made a very unpleasant situation as pleasant as he could!! I would work with Tim anytime!! Thanks again Tim for everything!! "

“Tim did a great job with helping us list and sell our house. He handled all the leg work, made the job easy and seamless. Was willing to go the extra mile for us the entire time. He's incredibly efficient with his communication, and he maintained focus on my goal for selling our home the entire process. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, and honest with all potential scenarios. I look forward to working with him again soon with purchasing our next home. Its incredibly helpful to have a realtor that we trust, and that pays attention to the little details that are very important to my family & I. Thank you again Tim! ”

Tim is excellent to work with and was of immense help during our search for a home in the Malibu area. Tim kept us informed throughout our home search and buying process and helped us connect with insurance agents, home inspectors, and others during closing. Tim is a great agent. We are happy to have worked with Tim.

“Buying and/or selling a home is scary and it's usually a person's largest investment. You must have an expert who can advise you and hold your hand every step of the way. Tim has been that person for both me and my daughter, and I can't praise him highly enough! He is my favorite person I've ever done business with in any field, bar none. Tim first sold and then bought a home for my daughter and her family. Then within ten days he also bought and sold a home for me too. He had infinite patience as he showed us both various houses and really honed in on our needs. He made the process so personal, and took our calls even in the middle of the night when we were worried or didn't understand something. As the Seller agent for both our homes, I feel Tim really looked after us and we got paid fair value. Then as the Buyer agent for us when we each bought new homes, Tim literally held our hands all the way through. He helped us strategize making the offers and walked us through the entire loan process until we closed escrow. He checked in every day to make sure we were feeling safe and cared for, and gave us timelines that were accurate. For our new homes, Tim also offered lots of design ideas for remodeling to make sure we'd love our new spaces. Tim shared his personal contacts for Remodeling, Cleaning, Painting, Electric, etc... and they were all A+. The work that was done was top quality and finished in record time. In fact, I am writing this as the movers are here packing me up to have our first night at the new address tomorrow! Tim just called and is going to stop by next week to see it and celebrate with us! Bottom line, if you are considering buying or selling, contact Tim. I can see why he's helped clients buy or sell 11 homes in the past six weeks - making him one of the top agents in LA. He is a joy to work with, and you will be in safe hands! Thank you Tim for all you have done for me and my family!.”

"Tim has been amazing through the entire process. He took the time to understand the unique needs of our family and supported us through some unexpected family emergencies. He is an incredibly skilled realtor but more importantly he is a phenomenal human. Our three human kids all love him as do our two dogs! I've already recommended him to my mother who is already in the process of buying a house with Tim. He has the patience of a saint in walking us through the crazy process of selling and buying and has consistently looked out for our best interests. We truly cannot say enough about how grateful we are to have found Tim. "

Tim’s expertise, experience, reliability and enthusiasm were exceptional. It made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Tim has excellent communication skills. He took the time to ask me questions and to really listen to my responses in order to determine my likes and dislikes in regards to type and style of a home-as well as location and budget. Tim is also a great manager. His dedication and assistance extended beyond the closing as he helped me settle into my new home. I appreciate Tim’s hard work and would not hesitate to recommend his services to others.
