Tim and his wife, Julie, helped me list and sell two homes. He came highly recommended to me by a contractor friend of mine. I had a limited time to sell both homes which were in poor condition.

I had a limited time to sell both homes which were in poor condition. It was a very stressful time for me but with Tim's expertise and guidance, he made the whole process easier. I think he went well beyond the services I would normally expect a real estate agent to provide. He organized, contacted, and met with all the subcontractors needed to repair the homes. He also helped recommend and select finishes for the interior. We were able to sell both homes quickly and well over the asking price. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Tim is honest, helpful, and personable.Read more

Tim and Julie were the perfect realtors to sell my family's property in Walnut Creek. They are straightforward, knowledgeable, communicative and creative.

They are straightforward, knowledgeable, communicative and creative. The sale could have been challenging due to a softening economic climate as well as some deferred maintenance (a former rental property). But they broke down the processes of preparing for sale, listing, marketing, and evaluating offers into manageable steps, while keeping me informed and respecting my decisions. Plus, they are such nice people to work with. I would hire them again in a second!Read more

My wife and I contacted Tim and Julie to purchase our first house in Walnut Creek.

I was immediately impressed with their knowledge of the market in the area and the real value of the homes that were on the market. Tim helped us to identify houses that were not only in our price range but also helped us to identify the real gems among the listings. He let us know about all of the recent purchases in the area and what the selling price of those houses was. He was extremely knowledgeable about the school districts and what that would do for the value of the homes moving forward. I have spoken with friends who did not enjoy working with their realtors because they felt pressured to sign a deal that did not fit what they were really looking for in a home. Tim and Julie let us know the good and the bad in every home we looked at and truly helped us find a house that has become a dream home for our family. I very much appreciated the walk-through that we received as we presented our offers and again was impressed with the information that was shared with us during the final processes. I can’t say enough about the service we received and would not think of using anyone else as our agents in the future.Read more

They were extremely knowledgeable about market conditions and what makes a home desirable to buyers. They were very responsive and great at keeping us apprised of anything that came up throughout the process. We were busy settling our parents' estate so we really appreciated Tim and Julie handling the day-to-day real estate matters so that we could focus on other estate-related issues. They were understanding about the emotional impact we were dealing with in the selling of homes that had been in our family for decades. We had to make several repairs and upgrades to the properties and appreciated them having a comprehensive cadre of tradespeople, landscapers, stagers and even estate sale consultants that they have used over the years. We found the quotes to be fair and reasonable and the quality of the work excellent. Tim and Julie went far beyond what we could have reasonably expected. For example, one of the burners on the stove was not working and the needed part was not easy to find, so in the interest of time, we thought we would have to invest in a new stove. We were able to avoid this because Julie hunted down the obscure part, allowing for the stove to be fixed for a fraction of the cost of a new appliance. We cannot say enough about their expertise in all things real estate and recommend Tim and Julie without hesitation.Read more

Tim and Julie have continued their business and built a thriving business of their own. I have multiple family members who have used them successfully. They are well-trusted in our family. If something needed to be done at my father's home, they had a guy. It was so easy to leave the preparation to sell in their hands. I received updates at every step. When there were decisions to be made, Tim explained the options, listened to my concerns, and was able to guide me through the best choices given the circumstances. The home sold for well over asking due to the guidance and hard work on Tim and Julie Steffen's part.Read more
