WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Karen M.

I live in Ohio and my father is in Asheville. Tim did the things I could not do from here and told me plainly when something needed me on a plane. He never once made me feel like I was being slow about it.

David R.

Four siblings, four opinions. Tim suggested we pick one person to be the point of contact and it took the temperature down immediately. The house sold, and we are all still speaking.

Janet W.

We were downsizing and every agent we spoke to wanted to show us new builds. Tim actually listened and found us a small place we love. He knew which questions to ask about an older house on a slope.

Ron and Betty S.

We called Tim thinking we had to sell my mother's house. He spent an hour walking through it with us and told us we probably had two more good years there if we moved her bedroom downstairs. He was right. We used him eighteen months later when it actually was time.
