“I highly recommend Jonny as a realtor to help sell your home! He comes with all the skills and contacts (contractors, stagers, designers, etc.) to make the process successful. He is a great listener and highly responsive. We could not have asked more from a realtor to help us selling our first home. Thanks Tim!”

"Jonny helped make my first home buying experience easy and straightforward, giving me good and honest advice on evaluating houses, making offers, negotiating, and generally being very responsive to questions or concerns that I had during the process."

“My husband and I were the first time home buyers. We contacted Jonny just couple of months after moving to San Francisco. Simon really helped us to learn about different neighbourhoods in SF. He showed us all the apartments that we wanted to visit even the ones that we could not afford. He is a good negotiator and we end of buying an apartment below the asked price.”

“After meeting with a few real estate agents, we decided to choose Jonny for our home purchase and we were not disappointed. Tim was always a text or a phone call away and provided us with everything we needed and more. He was with us every step of the way during the experience and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent. He is extremely knowledgable of the current market landscape and helped us negotiate for an offer below asking in the San Francisco market (amazing right?!). He is kind, friendly and will always have your best interest in mind when he is assisting in your home purchase. We wholeheartedly believe that if we had chosen another real estate agent to work with we might not have been able to purchase our home since Tim brings a bunch of intangible skills to the table that other agents simply do not possess. We would highly recommend Tim to our friends and family and we will not think twice about working with him again in the future.”
