Tim is fantastic. A great help from start to finish. Very personable and know what he's doing to get things running smoothly. We were buying and selling simultaneously, and Tim was able to thread the needle with getting us a great deal to stay in our old house while waiting for escrow to close on our new one. Highly recommend! read more

Tim was the most patient, gracious, accommodating and knowledgable Realtor we have had the pleasure of working with. Although new to the home buying landscape, Tim helped us with such eagerness and happiness. He showed us so many places, answering all questions and helped us navigate buying a home with great ease. He really made time no matter our schedule, whether that was later in the evenings or even many weekends. I felt confident about our decisions because Tim was a great help, and you will be in great hands if he is ever your realtor. read more

As first-time homebuyers, my partner and I had a lot of questions and concerns, but from the very start, Tim made us feel completely taken care of. He came highly recommended by a close friend, and we're so glad we chose to work with him. Tim was incredibly responsive and flexible, whether through Zoom, phone calls, or in-person meetings, and he always worked around our busy schedules. No matter how many questions we had (and we had plenty!), he was patient and thorough, never making us feel like a burden. What truly stood out was Tim's honesty and integrity. He never rushed or pressured us, and even advised us against properties he felt weren't the right fit for us. In one case, he saved us from purchasing a condo whose HOA was extremely underfunded, which could have caused serious issues down the road. He also managed to secure a seller's credit for us, which was a huge bonus. We ended up with a beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo in downtown Santa Ana. Also, Tim has great contacts in the industry, from two loan officers he recommended (both of whom we had amazing experiences with - we were torn with who to go with) as well as a highly efficient inspector. Even after closing on the condo, he continued to follow up, personally visited to thank us, and gave us a thoughtful, generous gift. We can't recommend Tim highly enough--he made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and exciting, and we're so grateful to have had him by our side throughout the journey. He started as our agent, but now we consider him a friend. read more

If you are looking for a realtor agent in OC, look no further!!! Tim is the best!!! As a first time home buyer, our experience and process was completely stress free all thanks to Tim and his team! He explained every step of the way and made it very easy for us. read more

My family and I first met Tim at an open house for one of his clients. We were impressed by his presentation skills, smarts and friendly demeanor. Although we didn't put in an offer that day, we ended up asking Tim to be our agent later. We couldn't be happier! In a short period of time, Tim helped us identify and close on our new house. He was very responsive, courteous and informative throughout the process. Also, his experience and knowledge gave us the confidence to make the best decisions. We unequivocally give Tim our highest recommendation and plan to use his services again in the future! read more

Tim was our realtor this year and it could not have been a better experience working with him. As a first time home buyer, it was important to have our needs met while understanding that coming out of the COVID, the housing market and high interest rates would greatly impact our search journey. In addition, the tough Orange County market makes it also an incredibly challenging area to buy these days. Tim not only made this experience accessible for us, but also was there for every question, and attended to our needs with a very high attention to detail. The most memorable part about our journey was that it was fast and all happened very quickly. Tim was quick to respond and was scrappy from our initial tour all the way to closing. I cannot recommend Tim enough and I'm so glad to have worked with him. Looking forward to another home purchase with him in the future! read more

Tim is such a great realtor! As my first experience homebuying, there was so much information being thrown at me all at once, but Tim was extremely patient and professional during this whole process. He was always very responsive and always provided his honest feedback on a property. As far as negotiations go, Tim makes the impossible, possible. Despite the current market situation, Tim was able to get the sellers to agree to sell below our offer price! (Something I was definitely not expecting!) The seller's agent even gave him credit for the offer he put together for me and ensured everything was smooth from start to close of escrow. He's been a trusted agent and friend throughout my homebuying journey and 100/10 would recommend him to anyone looking for a home! read more

Tim is an absolute life saver and a real estate genius!! Tim was so incredibly patient and understanding during our entire home buying process. My husband and I went back and forth for a while on when to sell our house and which house we wanted to buy. Of course, at the end, we found our dream home much sooner than expected, which meant Tim had the challenge of selling our house fast. The photos, 3D tour, and video that were taken of our home were beautiful! So top tier that I even wanted to re-buy our house. He was extremely smart and strategic in the pricing plan for selling our home. He also had a great open house with a coffee cart to encourage people to stop by and look at our home! He got us an above asking offer in less than a week of having our house on the market. Incredible! His team is incredibly on top of their game and ready to answer any questions. We went through the selling/buying process at the peak holiday season in December, and he was there at any point we needed him. This was our first time selling our home so we were extremely nervous. But with the help of Tim's calm presence and obvious knowledge, all nerves were immediately put at ease. It's impossible to find a better realtor than Tim! read more

My husband and I worked with Tim last year to buy our first home and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. I personally was pretty nervous starting this process. We knew we wanted to buy, but the market was crazy and we were concerned with how competitive we could truly be as first time home buyers with a smaller down payment. Tim was there for us every step of the way, answering our endless questions, giving us suggestions on what to look for based on our wants and needs, and ultimately helped us find our home in an area we hadn't considered and we LOVE it! He took the time to really know us as clients so when he saw this property, he knew it was it and he was so right. Definitely plan to work with Tim again in the future! read more

My partner and I are so happy we got to work with Tim to find a home to rent! Tim made the process extremely easy for us and was very responsive and helpful when we had questions. He set up an efficient plan for the day to tour a few homes. It was fun touring the places with him, and we never felt pressured or rushed while looking around. During the tours, he helped point out things to look for and had our best interests in mind. Tim helped us submit our applications, and we were approved that same week for the home we wanted. We were so touched when he gave us a small welcome gift when we got the keys to our new home! Tim is a pleasure to work with, and we're excited to work with him again when we're ready to buy our own place. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great realtor! read more

This is going to be a long one so.... TLDR: Tim blew away any expectations I had for a realtor. I would highly recommend anyone to go to him. I guarantee you'll be happy with him and the results. Going into the home buying process as a first timer can be scary when you realize there just SO MUCH that goes into buying a home. From visiting multiple locations, to putting in the best possible offer, learning about the different strategies that go into making a good offer, and hoping your's gets picked, it's a lot. Only after going through the process did I realize how critical having a great realtor is to help with the learning curve and take on that burden of responsibility. We gave Tim the tough task of helping us close in on a home we would be happy with within a month's time. In the seller's market we were in earlier this year, it would be tough for anyone but he made it happen. We probably toured close to a dozen homes and in each home, he pointed out the pros and cons, short term and long term benefits of said houses, all of which made it abundantly clear that he's not the realtor that is looking to make a quick buck. He genuinely cares about making sure his clients are happy. His demeanor, quick responses, and sound advise really solidifies that Although it's awesome having a realtor that is genuinely a great person and easy to work with, at the end of the day, it's the results that matter. Boy did he deliver. From the start of the negotiating process, it's abundantly clear Tim has the expertise, confidence, and sheer guts to get the best deal for his clients. He gave us tips on how to provide a great offer, provided in depth reasons and explanations for his suggestions and from there he was able to be our liaison and be the tough negotiator to get us the house. He saved us twice in this process. First, without his insights on providing a good offer, we would have lost to prospective buyers willing to easily pay $20-$30K above asking prices. Second, without his negotiation experience and charisma, even if we came up with a solid offer we wouldn't have been able to tactfully deliver it well enough to get it past the finish line. Here are the results: a house that we love in a neighborhood we love, buyer's credit on our home (IN A SELLERS MARKET LIKE HOW??), and saving COUNTLESS hours for us with his knowledge and expertise. When I do end up buying another home, I'm having this man on speed dial. An amazing realtor and person who delivers amazing results. So much so that I happy to give him kudos in a form of this long review that can be used as a letter of rec for college applications read more

Tim Ahn was recommended to us to sell our condo. At our initial meeting we were impressed with the time and thought he had put into a presentation detailing our options. He provided sound advice on techniques to sell our condo quickly. His presentation of the condo was superb, with high quality photos of the interior and exterior of the property. He developed an impressive video tour using drones to capture the neighborhood amenities. Tim was always available to answer questions. He has a good relationship with the other realtors which helped the sale progress smoothly. If you are looking for a professional, hard working realtor who will get the job done, call Tim.

I was a bit apprehensive about looking for a place as a first time buyer, but Tim was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and even after! He pointed out things in properties we toured that would be problematic; it was clear he wasn't just trying to make a quick purchase. Tim really wanted me to find a place that suited my needs and price point and we ended up doing just that! The place we ended up settling on was one he actually recommended we check out and it was within the budget and in a great location. I wasn't strongly considering it before the tour, but he definitely had a good feel for what I was looking for, since I really liked it after taking a look. On the negotiation side, he provided great insights on how to structure our offer to be competitive in a really competitive market, and I definitely think his guidance was invaluable. Without it, I'm almost certain our offer wouldn't have been accepted. Throughout the whole process Tim was helpful, relatable, quick to respond to questions (and I had a lot!), and overall great to work with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, and especially to first time buyers who are nervous. read more

Tim was the best realtor to work with during our home buying process. Tim was patient, understanding, and always had our back during the process. He understood what we were looking for and continued to go out of his way to make sure we did not settle and that we found the home we love. He was available anytime and very responsive. He only wanted what was best for us and continued to put our needs first. You can't go wrong with Tim! read more

Words can't express how grateful we are to Tim. He was an amazing help throughout the whole process. It's a big step in our lives, and thankfully, we had someone who was knowledgeable and caring on our side. read more

It's been 2 years now since we moved into our home and we are still SO happy with it. When we first started casually looking to purchase our first starter home in Nov 2021, we got connected with Tim Ahn. We were all over the map in regard to location, budget, and types of homes we were interested in, and Tim was very patient with us while we explored the very many options together. We finally found a house that we absolutely loved in February 2022, and Tim helped us write a very clean and competitive offer that was accepted! Tim fought aggressively for us and was able to not only get a price reduction from the sellers, but he was also able to prepare and win a solid appraisal rebuttal. Less than 30 days after getting our offer accepted, we moved into our dream home! I truly felt that throughout the process, Tim had our best interests at heart. He is honest, genuine, and personable and overall a pleasure to work with and we will be recommending him to everyone we know. Thank you Tim! read more

Highly recommend working with Tim Ahn as your agent!! Tim is proactive, friendly and will work hard to get you the house of your dreams. My husband and I were introduced to Tim and ended up hopping on a video call with him the very same day. He was very proactive and wasted no time getting in touch with us. We knew nothing about buying a home and had so many questions, but he patiently answered all of them and even shared some helpful informational material with us. Buying a home is a stressful process in itself, but buying a home in the middle of a super competitive market during a pandemic?! Extremely stressful! But it was a huge relief to have Tim guiding us through the process. Tim kept an eye out to share any new listings we might be interested in. With each open house we visited (and mind you - we went to MANY open houses), he pointed out any details we may have overlooked. Is the water heater ancient? Is there evidence of termite damage? Tim had an eye for it all. When it came time to make our first offer - Tim was there again to guide us and answer our many questions. We were picky clients - we were very particular about what we wanted, and at one point, we were actually in escrow and dropped out after escrow. We felt bad to pull out after all of the hard work Tim had put into the deal, but he assured us this was completely okay and part of the process. At one point, we lost out on a house we were very excited about - a normal part of the house hunting process. But Tim deeply empathized with our disappointment and gave us a thoughtful gift to help ease the hurt. We were so appreciative and truly touched by the gesture. When we finally found THE house for us, we were able to get it thanks to Tim. He established a positive working relationship with the seller's agent, making the entire process very smooth and pain free for us. When we finally got the keys, he even surprised us with a gift basket of thoughtful housewarming gifts! Couldn't have done it without Tim and so very grateful for his support throughout the process! read more
