Easygoing and down-to-earth
He was straightforward and spoke exactly what’s on his mind instead of sugarcoating everything. Definitely pleasant to work with, and while I never felt pushed around, he seemed trying really hard to check all the boxes for a home purchase behind the scene. If I need a real estate agent ever again, I will definitely call him first.
An amazing communicator and get knowledge provider
Tim has been amazing in my home-buying process. An amazing communicator and get knowledge provider. This was my first home purchase and I did not know anything about the process and Tim helped me in every step to clear out all the information needed. Tim took me step by step and patiently educated me on the process, and I have just successfully purchased an amazing home without any real issues along the way. I will recommend Tim to anyone I know because I know that he will put in tremendous effort and time to ensure that the client is extremely satisfied.
Made our dreams a reality and patient with us as immigrants
Tim is fantastic! My wife and I had been looking for a home earlier this year. But before we met Tim, we had a poor experience with another realtor that lost us our chance on purchasing our favorite home. After parting ways, we started to look at homes ourselves by scoping out neighborhoods. During one of our drive throughs of a neighborhood we liked, we met Tim by chance. Quickly, we realized that it was not chance, but fate. Tim was very responsive with us, scheduled appointments quickly, guided us through the buying process, and answered all our questions. We saw a home popped up on the market late one night, and Tim was able to show us the house the very next morning. We put the offer and now we are homeowners! He also connected us to a very diligent lender who explained what documents we needed to provide in a timely manner. We are thankful to have met Tim and hope to work with him again in the future! Thank you my friend to make our dream a reality and for your patience with our inexperience in buying and for our language skills because you know how to work with immigrants and how to treat them, hope to work together again.
Not only do you work with an agent, but you gain a friend!
When I first met Tim, I was definitely nervous as this was our first time buying a home. Tim and I connected right from the beginning and it built my trust in his business. He is not there to sell any house that comes to mind, but to make sure you buy the right home. We were buyers from New York and did not get a chance to fly down to Georgia to tour homes. However, with technology and the ability to view homes virtually, we were able to get as best of a description of houses we can. We have family in Georgia and had asked them to join viewings. Tim was very polite and answered questions that they had along with the questions we had. That was important to us because it shows his respect to all that he is around which can be difficult to juggle especially when he knows his client is the important as potential buyers. We placed offers which were rejected and he called to explain why it was rejected and it helped calm our emotions after the long wait to hear back from the seller. We eventually found a townhome that we loved and he helped us close on the property. He tries his best to fight for you when he has to negotiate. We didn't get the seller to fulfill some of the inspection items we wanted to fix but he assured that some of the items listed were easy fixes and that the property itself was it great shape. He is knowledgeable on home interior and exterior. Tim is dedicated to his clients and will make sure he provides the best service he can by being truthful, entrusting his confidence, following up on many questions and calming your emotions during the buying process. Not only do you work with an agent, but you gain a friend! I would definitely recommend Tim as a buyer’s agent to all looking to buy a house!
Confident, attentive, sincere, knowledgeable, patient, thoughtful and effective
Hardworking, conscientious guy. Smooth experience, highly recommended, A+ I brought him to sell my property in Athens because I was impressed with his professionalism helping me find a home in Atlanta. Tim goes above and beyond, he's the consummate professional. Confident, attentive, sincere, knowledgeable, patient, thoughtful and effective. He sorted through the various offers, identified the legitimate buyers and smoothly navigated the negotiation process. He informing me at each turning point, asking for my input to ensure I was satisfied with the outcome.
He gave us a detailed and very clear description of the whole buying process
From the first time we talked with Tim, we felt Tim was a very reliable and knowledgeable realtor. He gave us a detailed and very clear description of the whole buying process. It was so helpful and informative for us as first-time house buyer. Tim provided an exhaustive list of potential houses and helped us schedule visits according to our needs. He has been responsive and patient with our questions all the time. When we decided to make an offer, Tim gave us lots of professional advice. The closing was unexpectedly delayed by our lender, but Tim proactively communicated with the lender and the listing agent to protect our benefits, which was really impressive. I highly recommend working with Tim.
He negotiated a great deal for us in a competitive market.
Tim is phenomenal! We were first time home buyers and Tim was so patient with us. He never made us feel rushed or pressured to make a decision. He let us know he would work with us for as long as we needed. He communicated with us regularly & was always quick to respond. Tim is very knowledgeable and he explains everything thoroughly. To top it all off, he negotiated a great deal for us in a competitive market. We are very impressed with Tim and highly recommend him.
We could not be more thrilled to have worked with him
Tim was not our first realtor we spoke to in the area, but was definitely the only one we worked with. He is incredibly responsive, persistent, and encouraging, while providing us as first time buyers the knowledge and reassurance that we needed. He was always positive and excited for us, and just genuinely someone that you could trust had your interests in mind. We could not be more thrilled to have worked with him, and the help and direction he offered made the whole process easy to understand, fun, and incredibly successful as we just closed on our first home!
We began a relationship with Tim Trevathan as we began searching for a home in Georgia from 1200 miles away.
We began a relationship with Tim Trevathan as we began searching for a home in Georgia from 1200 miles away. He was very helpful and patient, guiding us through the steps that brought us to our eventual purchase. There is a learning curve involved in purchasing a home for the first time and we were way behind the curve. The distance out of state only added to our frustration, but Tim was gracious in helping us without any pressure. He worked with us for a year before we ever met him! He was always available and willing to talk. When the time came for us to settle on a house, we had only one week to get the job done. Tim worked with us in our schedule constraints to find the right house. Tim was always responsive in a timely manner, willing to answer our questions, acted promptly when the time came, made contacts and got information, and gave to us his recommendations through the offer and closing process. When we finally got to meet him, we were impressed by his demeanor of kindness and friendliness. We consider him a professional and a friend, and we recommend him highly!
We never felt forced to make an offer or accept a counter-offer.
It was a pleasure to have Tim as our realtor. We were first-time homebuyers and had limited knowledge about the whole process of buying a house. Tim is knowledgeable, helpful and highly responsive. We never felt forced to make an offer or accept a counter-offer. For some personal reasons, we backed out of the bidding for another house early in January. Tim showed great understanding of our positions. We got back to him immediately after our personal issues were resolved and we started the process all over again. Tim was able to adjust to our schedules and went through paper work with us over phone late at night. He took lots of the pressure off us in being very proactive and communicative. We definitely recommend Tim!
Tim knew how to resolve problems that I didn't even anticipate!
Tim has done an absolutely outstanding job for us in buying a house. He went above and beyond in always being able to answer the phone when we have questions, making phone calls on my behalf to many different people and companies, and giving his expertise in handling negotiations. I like to think of myself as having been somewhat self-educated in real estate, but Tim knew how to resolve problems that I didn't even anticipate! With how many pitfalls he helped me avoid, I almost want to buy more houses just to work with him again.
He’s also, a thoughtful , kind, polite, and Just all around genuine person.
I met Tim 3 years ago, when he was in my neighborhood and introduced himself to me as a realtor, and asked if I was going to sell my house, or did I know anyone who was wanting to sell theirs. I was impressed by his confidence, kindness, and willingness to seek out new clients. I think those qualities are sometimes hard to find in today’s world. I wasn’t ready at that time to sell, but each year, at Christmas he sent a handwritten message on his card asking how I was doing, and to call him if I changed my mind. I did call him later, when I thought I was ready to sell. He came by with comps, but I backed out of my decision to sell. He was so polite, and didn’t show the least bit of annoyance with me. He just told me to get in touch, when I was ready. About a year later, i called Tim, again. This time he wrote up a contract agreement with me, and 5 weeks later, we were at closing. I’m a widow, in my 70’s and had never sold a house on my own. He took extra time explaining each step of the process, went out of his way to help me find different contractors, and even met them at my house, so I didn’t have to drive a good distance from my daughter’s. He always had time to clear up any confusion, and was extremely prompt in returning calls and texts. As you can see, I could go on and on about what a thorough, ethical, and knowledgeable realtor he is. But he’s also, a thoughtful , kind, polite, and Just all around genuine person. He’s definitely a realtor you would want to have representing you.
My home was not one of his more profitable sales, but he always treated me like I was his number one priority.
Tim Trevathan stopped by and introduced himself about a year ago after selling a home in my neighborhood. I am so thankful that he did.....because I found out a year later that I met Georgia's best realtor. Tim is honest, dedicated, and extremely detail oriented. He is also an excellent communicator. My home was not one of his more profitable sales, but he always treated me like I was his number one priority. I highly recommend Tim to anybody that is buying or selling a home. You will NOT be disappointed.
Very accommodating with changes to our criteria. Not to mention extremely patient!
Can't say enough about Tim! He is very knowledgeable about the business. Went through our needs/wants and talked about options as detailed as possible, and very accommodating with changes to our criteria. Not to mention extremely patient! As we sometimes had to carry kids with us during the process... Definitely would recommend him!
After that one time meeting him in person and looking around that house (completely unharassed), we told him straight-up that we wanted him to be our real estate agent, and we never looked back
My wife and I were living off an apartment lease in the area and ready to move into our permanent home somewhere nearby, and we basically just walked into our first home-buying process alone. We started out just finding houses we liked on Zillow and asking the agent listed with the property if he/she wouldn't mind meeting us there and letting us look around. Real estate agents have a tough job, and I get it, but in general, I personally tend to hate the feeling of being "solicited" or pressured. A few of them were very easy-going, but most of them were not easy to feel comfortable around. Tim was probably the 5th or 6th agent we asked to come show us a property. After that one time meeting him in person and looking around that house (completely unharassed), we told him straight-up that we wanted him to be our real estate agent, and we never looked back. He was extremely patient and kind during our lengthy, and often stressful, house buying process, and he was always available to answer questions outside of work hours and provide useful tips and suggestions. He was without a doubt the best real estate agent we could have ever asked for, and in the end, largely due to a lot of "insider" tips he knew about, he was able to help us close an unbelievable deal on the perfect new-construction home that we fell in love with. Left out a lot of other positive details, but bottom line is I truly, honestly recommend Tim to the absolute fullest to anyone who is looking for a place to live, 110%.
Tim helped us navigate not just the selling of our home of 14 years but buying two town homes
My husband and I are extremely grateful to have found Tim Trevathan as our realtor. Tim helped us navigate not just the selling of our home of 14 years but buying two town homes; one for our daughter and one for ourselves. In the midst of these transactions we encountered stressful challenges with one of the town home sellers where Tim demonstrated solid character, integrity and extreme maturity helping us overcome a disappointing situation. Tim also counseled us during our Zillow offer transaction for selling our home. Overall, we highly recommend Tim if you are looking for a straight forward, attention to detail guy and dependable realtor.
Tim stopped by our home site after hours to take pictures of the progress so that we could have proof and peace of mind that the fixes were made
Tim is a great realtor, and very patient. My husband and I bought a new construction home that is more than an hour away from where we lived at the time. Tim communicated regularly with the selling agent and our lenders to make sure all ran smoothly. He attended home inspection meetings with us, and after the builder (really just the guy in charge of all pre-sheetrock construction) refused to provide proof that fixes would be made according to our inspection report, Tim stopped by our home site after hours to take pictures of the progress so that we could have proof and peace of mind that the fixes were made. That was a huge favor to us since we were so far away and he lived near our new home site. The list of the ways Tim did his job, did it well, and went the extra mile is long. Of course everybody's "gotta eat" but Tim genuinely wants what is best for his clients, and he showed our family that he values relationships more than "transactions." Old school values in a new school economy. I would totally recommend him.
Tim delivered everything he promised through an extremely difficult contract negotiation
Great work Tim. I met Tim via a garage sale we had. He gave me one of his cards, and what impressed me the most was that he actually kept contact with me via e-mail. So, when it was time for me selling the house, obviously his name was the 1st to pop in my mind. In our 1st meeting he indicated what is he able to do, and how he is going about doing it. After signing the contract he amazed me with his communication, and his expertise. I have had fortune of selling and buying few homes throughout the country, and had met quite few agents and were in business myself sometimes back; I was very impressed with his knowledge of his profession. Tim delivered everything he promised through an extremely difficult contract negotiation. I will recommend him to all my friends.
He was also a great negotiator which ended up saving us thousands of dollars
As exciting as it was, we realized quickly that we were rookies in the home buying process. Luckily for us, my husband met Tim who was knowledgeable, approachable, patient, and very generous with his time. A particular high point was how smoothly our offer process went. Tim went above and beyond submitting an offer for us while he out of town! He was also a great negotiator which ended up saving us thousands of dollars. We are forever grateful for his talents and expertise in real estate and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good agent!
If Tim was a publicly traded company, I would gladly put all my retirement savings in those stocks
Being a first time home buyer is stressful, especially for someone who has only lived in apartments and never in a single family home your whole life. There are tons of realtors out there who will listen to your needs and figure out a home that may suit your needs, but there are not that many who can really help you when you barely have any idea of what you want. I was the one with no idea, and Tim was the realtor who helped me to successfully decide on and purchase my first home. Tim was informative and educational. He not only made sure that I took all necessary steps from house hunting to closing, but made sure that I clearly understood the purpose and implications of all document I was signing. Tim has impeccable speed and reliability when in comes to getting things done. The whole process of viewing the home to closing took less then a month, all thanks to the superior turnaround time that Tim provided throughout all the bidding, inspection, closing stages. If Tim was a publicly traded company, I would gladly put all my retirement savings in those stocks. When it is time to upgrade my home, I am 100% certain that I will ask Tim to help me with both selling of my old home, and to help me with the purchase of the new home!
He went the extra mile to address my concerns during the stressful process of selling my condo and purchasing my first home
Tim was very honest, helpful, diligent and knowledgeable. I felt very fortunate to have him in my corner. He went the extra mile to address my concerns during the stressful process of selling my condo and purchasing my first home. I had a lot of anxiety, concerns, and questions along the way, and he was very helpful from beginning to end. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a home in the Atlanta area. Thank you so much Tim!!
He has an extreme amount of patience
Tim has worked with me for over 6 months helping to find the right home for my needs. He has an extreme amount of patience as it took many weekends to finally find the perfect home. Tim was available to me at all different times and provide important information along the way. Tim was also very instrumental when it came to the closing. Overall Tim did a wonderful job, he cares about the customer and has a passion for what he does.
Got to know my family and understand what we needed
My experience with Tim was excellent. He was always professional and honest. He took the time to get to know my family and I and understand what we needed as a growing family. Tim helped me to sell my home in just a few days and was able to assist me in finding a new home in the same amount of time. I would say Tim was more than a realtor and became a true friend.
Proactive adviser and always showed in suit
Tim was a great agent. He was always punctual, knowledgeable and always showed in suit (even in the messy new construction times :) Tim was extremely helpful and was my proactive adviser at appropriate times during the buying cycle. Tim is also a great guy, super nice and always responsive to various questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend Tim for any home buying or selling you may have.
Put in tremendous effort and time to ensure that we were satisfied
Tim has been amazing in my home-buying process. An amazing communicator and get knowledge provider. This was my first home purchase and I did not know anything about the process and Tim helped me in every step to clear out all the information needed. Tim took me step by step and patiently educated me on the process, and I have just successfully purchased an amazing home without any real issues along the way. I will recommend Tim to anyone I know because I know that he will put in tremendous effort and time to ensure that the client is extremely satisfied.
