First, Tim is great! My husband chose the Raleigh area as a potential area to relocate since he will be working in the IT industry. We currently live in Wisconsin and a couple of months before our weeklong trip to the area to figure out where we wanted to be, I ordered a triangle relocation guide. I received an email from Tim but I had honestly forgotten about it with the amount of emails I was getting daily about other rental properties. We started to work with another realtor. She would not return our emails for days at a time and finally ended with "you should handle this yourself..." It was then that I remembered the incredibly informative email that Tim had sent out. I reached out to him and not 10 minutes later I had a response. Even though we we're planning on renting (and have 4 cats to top it off) and not purchasing a home for another year or so, Tim carved out time in his incredibly busy schedule to spend all morning and a majority of the afternoon with my husband and I. He scheduled showings while we were in his office. In under 30 minutes he had 3 showings set up for the same morning (all that would be ok with our cats). He went the extra mile and took us to each of the homes. Tim knowing that we would be looking for jobs in the area offered to send our resumes out to people he personally knew. He even immediately got someone on the phone who is in the same industry as myself and introduced me and gave me the opportunity to speak with them. He did the same thing for my husband as well. He made us feel like family. I never would've expected that given our previous experience with the other realtor. Through talking with him we learned so much about the area. Tim has made us feel much more comfortable about our relocation. We will be keeping in touch throughout our move and when we're ready to purchase a home. We are incredibly grateful for his knowledge and hospitality and I would recommend him to anyone looking for guidance. read more

Based on the reviews I read here on Yelp, I decided to cold call Tim to assist in the sale of a townhouse in Cary, NC. Although contacting him through the webform on Yelp did not work, his phone number was easily available, and he was very responsive to my phone call. We purchased our townhouse (Pebble Creek II, Kildaire Farms) in 2000. We moved out in 2002, right as the tech bubble burst. Unable to sell in that market, we rented it. Knowing that we had not seen the house in almost 15 years, we knew that we would have to find someone who was willing to do a lot of legwork for us, as we no longer lived in North Carolina. From October 2016 until the sale in March 2017, Tim worked tirelessly to bring the home to a saleable condition. Given the demand for all types of construction and renovation work, we were completely reliant on Tim's established contacts for everything from a general contractor to locating low-priced granite countertops. By the time he was finished and we visited to hold an open house in February 2017 when we went to market, the townhouse was in significantly better condition than when we had purchased it. Our video testimony from that day can be found on YouTube. http://youtu.be/kin3l799IQ4 We received several offers and were able to close by the end of March. We worked with several members of the Jim Allen Group who specialized in different areas of the closing process. If you are reading reviews in order to select an agent to assist you in the purchase or sale of a home, I urge you to consider Tim. His experience, expertise, and outstanding resources mean that you receive answers and professional solutions quickly. He is kind, respectful, and honest, and he uses those qualities to your benefit. read more

We couldn't have been more happy to have someone as responsive, hard working, honest, diligent as Tim in our search. It was, as for many, a relocation from NJ to NC and because of family and job commitments I could not come down as much as I'd have liked and Tim did a wonderful job of reassuring us that he has helped many such clients in the past and that this can be easily done remotely using FaceTime and/or recording the videos of houses. He made the videos available almost immediately as well, in addition to sorting out all our concerns asap and that really helped us have an edge since its been a hugely biased sellers market where houses are going off in a day or two and that too above asking prices (specially in Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Morrisville). His knowledge and honesty was also very evident when it was time to make an offer and deal with the daunting task of getting things properly setup for the closing. Finding the right house is one imp part but the rest of the process is equally, if not less, imp and we found Tim's whole team to be equally wonderful and efficient - everyone involved including the house inspector, closing team and the attorney were more than excellent. In short, I'd say his responsiveness was the key factor in making this process of remote house hunting quite easy for us! I've never in my professional life of about 15 years seen anyone as responsive and willing to help the clients in any way possible as him - thats something very unique of him, and I feel very confident he will provide the same level of commitment to anyone who needs it! read more

Recently we closed on a house and we are very happy that we had Tim as our realtor! He is very quick in responding. We are not from around and we were trying to find the house remotely. So whenever we asked Tim that we liked the house and could you please show the house over the FaceTime or video tape it for us, the same day he used to make it sure to do it for us no matter how busy he was. I remember one time talking to him over the phone until 12.30 in the night and again next day early morning him going to the house to video tape it for us. Never seen any other realtor so quick in response and with so much dedication. When my husband contacted bunch of realtors in the area, he was the first person saying yes I could help you find your house remotely. Before finalizing on the area we decided to make a quick trip to NC and despite the short notice he made all the arrangements to show us the houses which we liked. We never heard a no from him! I would say in this crazy sellers market where good houses are going off the market in 1 or 2 days, we could finally find ours only because of Tim's fast actions. And he didn't stop helping us just right after the closing, but the day when we finally moved here and drove to our new house at 10pm in the night, he was waiting for us with the house keys, as we couldn't collect them earlier. Several other times also he has helped us on the personal level too. So I would say he is not just the best realtor but a very nice and kind person too. I would highly recommend Tim if anyone needs a realtor! read more

Tim helped me find a investment property in Raleigh NC. I found him based of previous high reviews on this site and i wasn't disappointed once. I met him in person and was convinced that if i wanted to find a home in Triangle Area, Tim was the best choice. He walked me through the process and evaluated my requirement before he started sending suggestions of places and locations for me look. We worked on filtering homes over email and Tim was very particular in sharing MLS and Neighborhood reports for any given property. Once we filtered it down to few he was ready to visit the property and face time them with us so we get a great feel of the property. If we liked the property he was quick to prepare a solid offer for the said property. Finally when we got an offer accepted i realized that Tim has a trusted group of referrals that work in making the entire offer to closing process a breeze. Its a well oiled machinery that is filled with professional (loan agents, inspections, surveyors, closing agents, attorney and many more) who keep your interests at the top and make sure that your interests are protected in all possible way. Even on the day of closing and later, Tim was available throughout the time answering all sorts of questions and helping with answers. He is a excellent realtor and genuinely nice and honest person who keeps his clients happy and treats them as partners in the entire home buying experience. read more

As a first time home buyer an a Veteran, I knew the process of purchasing a home was going to be a scary one. Not only did I have no idea what I was doing, I was worried I was going to be taken advantage of! As the process began and I started working with Tim McBrayer he took the time to hear my concerns, asked me what my family and I needed, and took us in as his own. Not only did I enjoy the process as a whole but Tim took his time to explain absolutely everything to us. There were times where I'd be looking up properties and Tim was able to get us fast showings and even took time on late Saturdays and Sundays evenings to make it happen. After a few weeks we found the home and the process began! There was a time where the builder had to push the closing back and Tim offered his own home to us like we were his own family! When the closing came every paper was explained to me at a very basic manner and it really lessened the frustration of signing everything. The relationship with Tim didn't stop at closing, we keep up with each other through time, and on Veterans Day he stopped on in and gave the best gift anyone can received; an American Flag for my home! Not only did I appreciate the great gift, it meant a lot to me and my family. Tim isn't just a realtor, he's family and treats you like family before, during, and after the process. Thank you for everything Tim! read more

Tim was great to work with. We first started our journey about a year ago and were debating if we wanted to put our house on the market. We opted not to, but we did work with Tim to purchase a plot of land in the area. The whole process of buying land was extremely smooth because Tim has wonderful connections in the triangle area from everything from loan officers, to lawyers to builders to architects. When it came time to sell our home a year later, we didn't want to work with anyone but Tim. We had a ton of questions about the process, and Tim was extremely professional and prompt in getting back to us. Both my husband and I travel 80% of the time for work and Tim did his best to accommodate our schedules from meeting on the weekends, working through email and text, and taking the lead on certain tasks when our schedules wouldn't allow for it. Tim helped us to develop the strategy to sell our home. We worked with many of his connections and were able to get it on the market in 2 weeks. It sold within 21 days on the market very close to our full asking price. Given Tim's professionalism, great communication skills, and willingness to go above and beyond for us, we would certainly work with him again and recommend him to anyone moving into the area. read more

When we first met Tim, we were only contemplating moving to Raleigh. He was gracious enough to meet with us on a Sunday morning even though we had not yet decided to move to Raleigh (were deciding between Raleigh and Charlotte). He drove us around to see some houses for us to get a feel for what we could afford within our budget as well as get a better understanding of what we might be looking for. While we were still deciding whether Raleigh was the place for us, he gave us many resources to get a better understanding of what the area had to offer. When we finally did move to Raleigh and began house hunting, Tim worked around our schedule (young child to accommodate) and always made time to quickly respond to our many questions. Once under contract, Tim played a big role in helping reach closing as our inspection / due diligence period was extremely challenging. Tim's professionalism, knowledge, and flexibility are unmatched. We feel extremely fortunate to have found Tim (via a review on Yelp) and highly recommend him and the team of professionals at his office. read more

My husband and I were young buyers. We were living in an apartment ready to purchase a home for ourselves. Tim McBrayer was our realtor for our home buying experience. Tim is extraordinarily kind, patient, and he will always be honest with you. There were times where he'd find a few homes for us and get us to a showing or an open house that exact day. We found our dream home and we realized that the builder we went with was building in Durham, NC! We ended up buying a lot there. Tim was there throughout the whole building experience. He was there to make sure everything was built correctly and gave us home advise as well! It was almost time for our closing date and we got hit with a delay with the builders leaving us homeless for about two months. Tim never left us hanging. He offered us to stay in his own home so they could finish building. It's kind gestures such as this that made the home buying experience worth it. Now, we view Tim as family and we couldn't be more grateful for an amazing realtor like him! read more

Tim McBrayer was a HUGE help for me. As a hesitant first time home buyer, I had many fears and questions that made me reluctant to buy. Tim was not only extremely patient with me, but answered all of my questions and helped put me at ease. He was also a consultant for me, rather than a pushy realtor that pushed me into making an offer just so that he/she could make a sale and move on. After several months and countless houses viewed, we finally settled on a home and I owe it all to Tim. On top of it all, Tim continues to stay in touch and help me in any way that he can, even if it's not to his benefit. I had an issue with my HOA over a fence that was here before I even purchased the home. He was there for me every step of the way and spent time digging up as much information as he could to help me with my claim. He also even volunteered to come to a board meeting and assist me as best as he could. If I could give Tim 10 stars I would. I HIGHLY recommend him! read more

My husband and I hired Tim McBrayer to sell and purchase a home in 2017, and we were very pleased with his professionalism, promptness, reliability, and real estate knowledge. We were so happy with Tim that we decided to hire him to sell our home last month, and once again, he did not disappoint. We contacted Tim in mid-September about selling our home, and by October 5th, Tim had our house listed for sale on MLS. We had multiple showings every week and finally went under contract on November 2nd. His knowledge of local market trends allowed Tim to get us a great deal while ensuring that both parties felt they had a fair outcome from the transaction. Tim was highly accommodating regarding scheduling viewings and making himself available on short notice when necessary. If you want to sell or purchase a home, please contact Tim McBrayer with Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston. You will be satisfied with his service. ~ Amonia Kilpatrick read more

Tim is an all-round fantastic realtor. As first-time buyers, and military family, we had many questions about purchasing our first home in the Triangle (neither of us is from NC). Tim walked with us through every step of the process of building our home. He got references of the builder we chose, recommended the best inspectors and additional services to make sure the build went well, advocated for us with the builder, and helped us arrange our mortgage in an incredibly tight timeline. He was always there to answer our questions, and guide and reassure when a few glitches happened. He is a true gentleman and a pleasure to work with, and truly cares about his clients. We also wanted to thank Kelly McPherson from Towne Mortgage Company for her help, and the closing team at the Jim Allen Group for all their help. Tim has exceeded our expectations and we look forward to working with him again in the future. Thank you, Tim!! read more

Tim McBrayer and Jim Allen helped us for the second time in purchasing a home and with selling a house at the same time. Choosing to work with them again was a no-brainer for us because they were so helpful, communicative, and knowledgeable the first time around. We decided to move forward with building a house this time, which was a first for us, and having their experienced guidance and assistance all along the way was really helpful (and calming for our nerves!). Everything from the first email we sent them, looking at listings, listing our old home for sale, working with their closing department, to even the ongoing communication after closing has been excellent. It is clear to us why they are part of an elite group of Realtors. I can't see any reason we wouldn't use them for any possible future real estate needs, and we have happily given their names to others who have their own real estate needs! read more

Tim is a close friend who I have known for as long as I can remember (literally). My wife and I recently moved back into the area and were thrilled to have Tim's help in purchasing out first home. We knew very little about the home buying process and had a lot of questions, but Tim handled them all very helpfully and made the process feel easy. It was a great relief to have someone that we trust on our side and it allowed us to focus on finding the right home and being thrilled when we found it (then got it). Tim was patient when we were indecisive or changed our purchasing schedule and was responsive and very helpful when we found the home we wanted to offer on. I've heard stories about how stressful the homebuying process can be and we are extremely grateful to have had Tim's help throughout the process. Can't recommend him highly enough. read more

It is somewhat rare, that I provide reviews for services. However, I could not let another moment go without singing the praises of my Realtor, Tim McBrayer. Tim worked with me to find my perfect home... and I absolutely love it. Tim is an organizational mastermind. With all the parts that come along with buying a home... well inspections, surveys, mortgage lenders, HOAs, warranties... Tim was patient, kind and amazingly organized. He kept track of all the steps we had completed, and all the steps we had yet to complete. My closing occurred exactly how I requested that it would... stress free. I have nothing but great appreciation for Tim and his wealth of experience and knowledge... and I absolutely recommend him to aid you in your real estate needs. Tim, thank you so much for helping my dream come true . Kind regards always, Christie S. read more

USAA Mover's Advantage Program assigned us with Tim McBrayer as our realtor and with him, process of purchasing our home was simple and straightforward. He is very prompt and knowledgeable when it came to questions/concerns we had. Tim took care of every aspects of purchasing our home. We bought an older home that needed some TLC and Tim was able to find budget friendly companies and coordinated everything for us. What really impressed us was his professionalism. Even after the deal was closed, he made sure that everything was going accordingly. He contacted us to see if everything was going well with contractors and fixed problems we had. We had a problem with the painters, and he contacted them directly to resolve it immediately. We are very impressed with his service. We highly recommend him for his expertise and professionalism. read more

Tim has been very efficient, professional, polite and friendly. My situation has been quite unique and difficult as I had to sell two properties of my brother's Estate. We put both properties on the market during Covid-19 outbreak so it was impossible for me to be physically in NC as I live in London. Therefore Tim was asked to do a very difficult job. He had to run to the property some times two times a day to check the main residence or check why the alarm went off. Crazy times. It has been a very emotional process and Tim respected my requests and also helped me make the right decisions. He really cared. He provided excellent communication, feedback and service from start to finish. Thank you Tim, I am sure my brother would be very happy with the way you handled everything. Thank you :) Stella read more

Tim McBrayer was our realtor back in 2013 and helped us buy our current home in Youngsville.We absolutely love our home. He is the best realtor we have ever had the experience of working with. We have purchased over 10 homes in the past 30 years and Tim stands out from all the rest. He is very proactive in communicating with us through out the whole process. He went beyond what we would ever expect from a realtor agent. When repairs would be required to the home, Tim arranged for the best company to fix the issues. We were on an accelerated schedule to close on this house. If you are in the same position as we were, buying a home from out of state, go with Tim. You will be able to sleep at night knowing nothing will fall through the cracks. Tim will have all the bases covered. read more

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to Mr. McBrayer. It's rare to find a person of his professionalism in this day and time. I reached out for his help in a situation where he was not even involved in the transaction. We had been waiting quite sometime for some very important information. He stopped what he was doing and helped me get the information in a matter of minutes. He further went on to completely rearrange some appointments and closings so that my clients needs could be accommodated. In 20 years of working in this business I have never met anyone quite like him. If you are looking for a kind, honest, incredibly knowledgeable real estate agent who will move mountains to see that your needs are met then you want to work with Mr. McBrayer! read more
