Ratings & Reviews

Molly D (River North)

Tim is a fantastic realtor. He was incredibly responsive from day one of working with him all the way up to the end. Even when he was out of town he never failed to check in and respond quickly to questions I had. He made feel very comfortable and relaxed and never made me feel like I was bugging him. The buying process went so smoothly thanks to Tim and team and I had an overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

Sonny & Mary (Bridgeport)

Tim Knipper is great! He was very knowledgeable and honest. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family. We couldn’t be happier with our new house!

Constanza and Daniel (Portage Park)

We bought our first home in 2014 with Tim and we were amazed at how simple, stress free and wonderful the entire process was. Tim worked around our schedule and made sure that each of the homes we saw, met our requirements request. When we decided to move out of state and sell our house, in 2018, there was no hesitation on who we would call to list it. Again, Tim was wonderful from beginning to end. If we were in the market for another house, Tim would be our only option. Tim offers top notch professionalism and his entire team is a joy to work with.

Matt (Edgewater)

I can't say enough great things about working with Tim. I have worked with a couple realtors over the past few years and Tim's knowledge of the city is 2nd to none. It took him all of about one visit to completely understand my style and what I wanted. He never gave up, even though I'm sure my list of wants didn't exactly meet up with my budget. After a summer Tim found me the perfect condo and then managed to negotiate the price to match my budget. From there he gave some great advice on some future advancements I could make and has check back a few times even though the sale is done! I'm happy to say in the process of finding a house, I also got a great new friend!

Lisa and Gerry (East Lakeview)

Last April I had my second experience with Tim (the first was when he worked with my husband on our current place)- I was selling my place and could not have been more pleased with the outcome. I will definitely work with Tim again- he is the best!!

Stephanie and Brad (Edgebrook & Lakeview)

Tim has been excellent to work with in selling our condo in Roscoe Village and helping us find our new home in Edgebrook. Tim has also been
great in helping us with finding qualified renters for a rental property and then selling that. Very responsive and easy to work with.

Jonathan M (Edgewater)

I have worked with Tim to sell, rent, and now buy a property. Tim is a consummate professional in so many aspects. I look forward to working with him again while I also recommend him to all my friends. His follow through, timeliness, and genuine desire to both understand your needs - help find you a home are qualities that set him apart from others I’ve worked with in the past. While working with Tim I sometimes feel I am his only client regardless of how wild busy the market is. I have both strong trust and appreciation of his advice/recommendations. I could not be happier with my experience working with him.

Gloria S (Streeterville)

Tim is a highly dependable, strategic, and humble realtor whom we've worked closely with over a decade to secure tenants for rental properties as well as for closings on condos. He is very respectable and trustworthy. Highly recommend him to any potential client.

Danielle G (West Ridge)

Tim did an incredible job during my home search. As a first-time homebuyer I had lots of questions and there was nothing that Tim wasn't willing to explain. Even after the deal was complete Tim helped me remedy an issue that came up. I would 10/10 encourage you to use him for your home search!

Kevin S (Uptown)

As a first-time home buyer, I relied on Tim to help educate me about the entire process. He was knowledgeable about the market and always provided helpful information about each property I viewed. Tim helped keep things on track and ensure that I was well-represented through each step of the process.

Daniel Z (Andersonville)

Tim is quick to respond and willing to look at places to get an understanding of what you want out of a home. He will give you his honest feedback and tell you what is worth it, what can be negotiated, and what is a concern but not major. He was always helpful and quick to take action and initiative. He helped find places that were not even on my radar. I already recommended him to others and would happily recommend him again!
