Tim did an excellent job assisting us with the sale of our house. His expertise in the market's geographic area was instrumental in determining a competitive selling price. Tim was very involved in all aspects of the closing. He was friendly, responsive and always gave great advice. I highly recommend Tim with all your real state needs.
I can’t say enough about my experience with having Tim as our realtor. Not only did he exceed any expectations that I had, but he handled every aspect of our purchase professionally and stress free. Being Canadian buyers, we were hesitant and cautious with our US purchase and Tim would consistently put us at ease. He was extremely patient with our hesitation and in the end, we were able to purchase our home with absolutely no regrets. Tim is an honest and caring person which makes him a fantastic realtor that I would use time and time again.
We have been looking for a property for quite some time and we are so grateful that we were referred to Tim at the beginning of our long process. He's been beyond patient with us and was never pushy or put off by our indecisiveness or questions. Tim listened to what we were looking for, was always very responsive and proactive in sending prospective properties to us, and would meet us for showings with little notice at times. He truly went above and beyond. He's personable and knowledgeable about the area and has a wealth of knowledge on all aspects of property buying and selling. I've already recommended him to a friend and will continue to do so. We can't say enough so if you are looking for an awesome agent, Tim is your guy!
I honestly can't say enough good things about working with Tim and his team. He performed leaps and bounds above what I was expecting. With me trying to sell my place and living in a different state, Tim took it upon himself to do all the leg work including multiple visits to my property to fix things, to check on it, to make sure other agents were being respectful as they toured my property, to return some wifi equipment on my behalf. He was patient with my requests, very communicative, very responsive and so calming during a stressful time in my life. He has excellent customer service skills, I wish all people in this industry showed up and cared, like Tim! I would give him 6 stars if I could! I'm so tremendously grateful to have worked with him and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Tim was both professional and personable and provided a streamlined conversation between myself (buyer), the previous owner, mortgage officer, and insurance broker (including the tricky CA Fair Plan for mountain town fire insurance).
Tim has a great knowledge of the Idyllwild/Pine-Cove area, understanding nuances of what attributes of a property will generate lasting value -- understanding the difference between both homes intended as primary residences vs vacation homes (including short term rental opportunities to generate income).
I highly recommend, Tim! He was nothing short of amazing. He was so committed to the task. I felt that I could relax finally and follow his guidence and I would have the best results possible. We did run into a snag and he was there for me 100% as we found a solution that satisfied me and the buyers. He is totally professional, knowledgeable and confident. He always communicated with me in a timely, straightforward, calm and honest way. He stays focused on the task and very much helped me stay focused and on task. Thank you so much, Tim!
My wife and I met Tim McTavish at one of his open houses. We were looking for a small cabin in Idyllwild to escape the desert heat in the summer. Tim contacted us when a brand new client of his contacted him to sell their cabin. He took some pictures and sent them to me and told me about this 1930 hunters cabin that has been updated. He asked the owner if he could show it to us before it was on the market and they agreed. My wife and I instantly fell in love with the property, it was what we were looking for. We have been looking for about four months at this time and knew exactly what we wanted. Our patience was worth it. Tim helped us close the deal before it was ever listed. Tim was a great help and a pleasure to work with. He also helped us find a loan. Thanks Tim!
He was very "hands -on", patient and detail oriented. He handled a number of complicated issues easily for us. He took initiative in negotiating prices and other terms, and continued to be in touch with us even after escrow had closed. We were grateful for the fact that he was always readily accessible, either by phone or through his associate. We could not recommend Tim and his team more highly!!
Tim McTavish just helped us find our dream home in Idyllwild. Tim patiently showed us home after home for the better half of a year until we found "the one" every time with a friendly smile on his face. He provided us with insider knowledge of the area right up to restaurant recommendations for lunch. Overall Tim provided a streamlined experience in a professional and friendly manner. We highly recommend Tim to anyone looking in the area!
