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!

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.

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!

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!!
