If I could give 10 stars, I would.

My husband and I began our search for a home in March, during Covid in a hot market. We reached out to Tim and gave him a location we were interested in. We quickly realized we were priced out based on the fact that the market is so hot- you have to overbid to win. We flexed our plan and location a few times but Tim never got upset, in fact he helped us understand what was needed to succeed. It took four offers to finally get our home, and we couldn't be happier!

As first time homebuyers we were very green to the process. Tim was patient and answered all

Dreams do come true and not all heroes wear capes!

My husband and I have been dreaming about owning a home for years. Since the pandemic, our desire to own a spacious and beautiful house became stronger. We didn't realize how difficult it could be to lock-in a house until we began our journey in search of a home.

There were so many things we needed to consider to become a prospective buyer. Little did we know, the market was not on our side, which made us go back to the "drawing board" several times.

Our search required someone that knows the territory really well, that is honest

Tim will get you a house. We actually got the first house that we viewed and on which we put an offer. I attribute this to Tim's guidance and perseverance. He was very honest about what a strong offer would be and this kept us in the running until we ultimately got the house. He knows the market extremely well and is able to ensure that his clients have a good chance of getting a home. He was responsive to our questions and took time to make sure we were comfortable throughout the whole process.
To give you a sense of how quickly we moved... My husband and I drove down to CA from WA on a

Tim was referred to me by my bank. As a first time home buyer, I quickly learned my lesson: in order to win the deal in a competitive market, how important it is to have a sharp-eyed and trustworthy agent like Tim by your side, and that cutting-edge prediction algorithms as of today still can't beat an experienced agent! I was impressed by Tim's calm demeanor, authenticity, attentive to detail, and acting quickly at the right time. Highly recommend.

My wife and I were anxious about moving. As you may know, its so much easier to think about it then actually doing it. Tim and Sophia made the process so incredibly easy and helped us get what we wanted.

My wife and I wanted to stay in the Bay Area and Tim and Sophia were excellent about providing all the options on what to buy. We never felt rushed nor ever felt like they were passive. They were so helpful talking through all the different options while taking the time to answer all of our questions.

We are so thankful for Tim and Sophia and appreciate their ability to get all the right pieces

Tim was referred to us by some friends and we couldn't have been more happier with him. This was our first home buying experience so we had plenty of anxiety related to that. Our first visits were done over Zoom (in a Covid-19 world) and he asked relevant questions about what we were looking for in a home and listened to what we had to say. After that, the process went very quickly - we met every weekend and he was flexible with our schedules. He knew the tri-valley area well and knew good areas to look for homes. He was very communicative over call, Zoom, and text and very punctual from beginning

My wife and I were trying to find our first home and were very overwhelmed by options and logistics regarding our first home purchase.
We found Tim through a work connection and everything cleared up from there. He truly guided us through every step of the process from choices, go financing to appraisals before close.
Throughout the process he took every precaution to ensure that the environment was clean and sanitary.
Buying a home with Tim was such a smoothe and joyful experience
I highly recommend him

Tim and his team are amazing! I live in the SJ area and Tim would come to SJ to support us consistently and patiently. He was honest and did not want us to jump into anything we weren't ready for. Tim made the process enjoyable and smooth.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Tim and will definitely keep in contact for future support!

Thank you once again Tim and Sophia! We are now home owners!!

Tim helped us sell our home in Pleasanton CA. Among other qualities, what stood out were his attention to detail, trustworthiness and knowledge of the Pleasanton real estate market. He was able to close the deal in quick time and was always on top of things; whether it was paper-work, communicating with buyer's agent or managing the selling calendar. We highly recommend his services and would be happy to provide a reference.

Being a Veteran, I wanted to educate myself as much as I could about the VA loan, so the first thing I did was look for a VA loan seminar here in the Bay Area. I saw that Tim held a seminar but I was a couple of months late. From there, I emailed Tim asking if we could meet for me to learn more about the VA loan and the home buying process. He replied quickly and was able to answer all of my questions and concerns over coffee. Tim gave great insight on the type of expectations we should have, and helped us think through some of the decisions we brought up.

Simply put, my wife and I are so

I had the honor of working with Tim through a mutual client.

He's very detail oriented and gives great advice. He helped our client get into their dream-home with ease and no stress. Everything went smoothly, he was great to work with.

He's truly the definition of a man with integrity, he is a U.S. Veteran, and served in the military. Thank you for your service and thank you for your service in the real estate industry. I would highly recommend Tim and his team!

This review is long overdue but better late than never!

I bought and sold my house in Walnut Creek with Tim and his wife Sophia, and I couldn't have made a better choice.

While there are many Realtors in the San Francisco East Bay to choose from, Tim and Sophia are the dynamic duo who know the East Bay and Tri-Valley areas very well. In fact, when we were looking for homes, we toured Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and Concord Areas before settling on our dream home.

My husband is an Army veteran like Tim, and sure enough, they hit it off immediately! Tim is the

Writing this on behalf on my aunt and uncle who recently moved to the east bay and bought a home with Tim and Sophia. We were concerned since we had a VA loan and many agents told us that it would be hard to get our offer accepted.

Luckily we were referred to tim and he was familiar with va loans since he has a veteran himself! We explored areas and landed in the trivalley. Although we were just moving out of san francisco, we felt like we were moving out of area since it was a completely different market in the east bay.

Tim and Sophia made it super easy by meeting us to answer all of our questions

As a first time home buyer, I couldn't have asked for a better realtor and home buying experience. I was overwhelmed with the entire process and Tim helped me through every single step. Tim was patient, very responsive and extremely knowledgeable. Tim knows the Contra Costa County area very well which was really helpful during our search for the perfect home. Tim was available to us at any time and he helped us close our offer very fast without any difficulty. He referred us to a wonderful loan officer as well. Thanks to Tim, I now own a beautiful home in Concord. I would recommend Tim

Tim helped my wife and I buy our first house, and we made it as difficult as we could for him,(Low down payment, low approved loan amount, short time frame to buy. And he was amazing throughout the process. Even though we weren't buying a big expensive home we always felt like we were Tim's top priority. He spent countless hours educating us on the buying process, and helping guide us along the path when we didn't understand what was going on. He spent several late nights on the phone with my wife and I,_ helping us through the process. He is a West Point graduate, and his Character

If your looking for a realtor who truly has your best interest in mind when selling or buying and placed your needs and peace of mind first before his own needs, then Tim is your guy. His knowledge and dedication to his job and customers is like a rear gem within his local competition. I witnessed this first hand more than on one occasion.
Highly recommended!

As a first time home buyer Tim wasn't too pushy nor was he passively aggressive toward us in making decisions. He journeyed with my wife and i through the process of finding a home and was patiently willing to search with and for us no matter how long it took to find a home. We did make two bids on places that we lost out on and while we were discouraged, Tim was ever so encouraging and had us press on... reminding us to be patient. The third bid was a charm as we finally own a new home. Merci, gracias, obrigado, mahalo, xie xie, salamat, and arigato... many thanks to Tim and Sophia.

Tim recently helped my finance and I get a house. The market proved to be a challenge and made it so we had to act fast to gain any traction. Tim's responsiveness to text/email/calls helped move things along and is the only reason the offer we made was accepted. Even after closing Tim has been helpful with coordinating the rent back and interfacing with the current tenants to make the transition as smooth as possible.
