Liz Dini of TA Properties spent countless hours procuring and working with a long list of vendors in preparing our house and property for sale. Shes known and respected and a true expert in the local real estate market. Liz is whip-smart, wise, responsive and her work ethic is something to behold. Her finely-tuned instincts about when and how to list proved invaluable and correct. When we ended up in a fortunate yet stressful multiple bidder situation involving a series of offers and counteroffers, her calm expertise yielded an optimal outcome.
Whether you are buying or selling in the Carmel/Carmel Valley area, Liz would be a sound choice. She truly goes the extra mile and will execute her fiduciary duty to you and only you until the deal is done. If thats not enough, shes a super person, fun to work with and she is a Monterey Peninsula native with a deep understanding of and love for the area.
We just purchased a second home in Pebble Beach and Tim Allen Properties made sure the whole experience went smoothly. Our agent Kim was great. She was knowledgeable and extremely responsive, organized and on top of every detail. She was easy to work with and did a great job negotiating for us. Backing her up was an excellent team at TA Properties who made sure every detail was handled and on time. Highly recommend working with Tim Allen Properties. 2023
Team Tim was fabulous! We had bought a home with them, so when we were ready to sell, Tim was top of mind. Tim was involved with us personally at the critical junctures, and always available! Marie was the one who we interacted with on preparing the property and many of the steps along the way. Brenna is the one who made sure we crossed t's and dotted all i's on every docusign along the way. WHAT A TEAM! We were happy with the guidance that they provided for preparing the home, pricing and ultimately analysis of the multiple offers that came in! They are white glove all the way! 2023
Wonderful experience! We were consistently impressed by the attentive, white-glove market analysis, full-service assistance with everything from repairs and staging to a long-distance move and a complicated closing. Our calls and emails were always promptly returned, and the team addressed our concerns with patient expertise and understanding. We recommend without qualification. We will be using Tim Allen again for our next property sale. 2023
The entire Tim Allen Team is incredible to work with. They handled everything professionally and made it easy for us. We sold one house and bought another, all in a short period of time. Each team member is personable and wonderful to work with as well as knowledgeable. We felt fortunate to have them representing us. 2022
We just closed an escrow at Pebble Beach and it was only successful because of Tim Allen and his professionalism and expertise team. They work together like a seamless team making sure every detail was covered and masterfully guided each step of the process. Tim is knowledgeable of market trends and go the extra mile to sell your home with the best possible results. I would highly recommend Tim Allen and his team based on their knowledge, honesty and ability to close the deal. 1000 Stars White Glove Treatment! Thank you much 2022
Kim DiBenedetto and the other members of the Tim Allen Properties team did an amazing job marketing the property, providing valuable advice on how best to respond to offers that came in, and, once an offer was accepted, making sure that all the necessary details were addressed to bring this real estate transaction to a successful conclusion. I would highly recommend working with Kim and the rest of Tim's Team if you wish to sell a Carmel Valley property with as little stress as possible. 2022
From the first phone call to the final email, Tim, Kim, Brenna, and all of the Tim Allen Team have provided the best possible experience to us as sellers. Their expertise, care, attention to detail, and really listening to us, made the process smooth and speedy. There is a reason they are top-rated! 2022
Tim and his team not only has been presenting us to purchase properties, but also he has been a partner in consulting with us to provide us honest inputs. Very passionate with real estate and his objectives are not just making deal, but he wants to make sure he clients get best information to make best choice. 2022
My wife and I were looking for homes in Pebble Beach, unrepresented by a realtor. We happened across the home on Redfin we ultimately wound-up purchasing, where Tim Allen and Team were the listing agents. After initial exploratory conversation with Tim, we wound up in a dual listing arrangement and my wife and I could not have been happier with that decision.
Tim and his team are top tier real estate professionals. While Tims name is on the masthead, he was thoroughly engaged, monitored all email exchanges with the Team and jumped in with guidance or the offer of a call whenever it was opportune. His seasoned guidance was superb, definitively on-point, and helped the transaction flow effortlessly. Mark Lord offered us the first showing of the property, within about an hour of our noticing the listing. He just drove over right after my wife and I finished work. Marie Greco was lovely and served as our constant untiring resource; she helped capture information about the property, whether from the sellers or in the form of estimates from outside parties. If she did not know an answer, she found out promptly and graciously. Brenna Gardner expeditiously handled the paperwork throughout. And even Billy Schmidt got into the act, when we needed last minute time-stamped photos which he delivered within hours of our request.
Overall, the Team was excellent and I would highly recommend them to friends and colleagues. 2022
Tim, from start to finish this was a well run operation - much more than just selling the house. Your entire team was incredibly efficient, effective and resourceful! Youve got a great team of professionals that were responsive, and provided superb guidance during every step of the process. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your team. 2022
I have only the highest praise for Billy Schmidt. I worked closely with him in writing up, presenting and staging the house for sale. Together with photographers, he orchestrated an elegant marketing presentation displaying the salient features of the houses interior, exterior and seascape that I think was pivotal in attracting the young buyers who ultimately bought the house. His written description of the house was masterful. During the sales process he was a charm to work with routinely going the extra mile to recall photographers and even redoing the brochure several times to optimize the presentation on Zillow. In particular, he was quick to recognize the appearance of an important concept and prepare an entirely new photograph in order to enhance the houses appeal to buyers. His initiative in shooting a panoramic view of the house exterior as it faced the ocean was especially memorable. I believe his work was a key factor in enabling the sale.
We are so grateful to Bonnie Archer for her magnificent efforts in helping to prepare the house for showing. She skillfully guided us in making all the key moves required to bring the house into condition for showing. There is no doubt that following her advice to the letter was instrumental in attracting the buyers to the house. She skillfully built on the existing pieces to enhance its presentation without making wholesale changes. She even returned several times after her initial visit to help us enhance the attractiveness of the interior and the garden patio. She was also there for us when my wife suffered injuries to both knees after falling in the house. She is masterful at what she does carrying forth with charm and grace second to none. She was an absolute joy to work with. We shall never forget her loving efforts and remain deeply grateful that you sent her to us.
Mark Lord displayed comprehensive knowledge of his trade that enabled him to guide us through every phase of the selling process. His advice was invariably correct. He was particularly effective in communicating with the buyers agent on our behalf, working through negotiations and explaining the technical details of inspections. His background in contracting and building structure was especially noteworthy as well as his access to a broad cadre of established vendors needed to make necessary repairs. We greatly appreciated his initiative in recruiting a team to protect the roof from further rain damage after a large repair while going the extra mile to clean the house and help retrieve a key glass table top we inadvertently left behind.
We are greatly appreciative and wish to thank you all for your superb efforts. 2022
We had requirements for our new Carmel home that we knew would be difficult if not impossible to achieve. We expected that we might have to wait several years to get close to what we were after. We are excited to have purchased a home that meets all of our requirements and includes ingredients that we never imagined we could find.
None of this would have been possible without the assistance of Tim and Jonathan. They stuck with us and stayed in close contact throughout our search process. They were always responsive and professional. They persuaded a highly respected Carmel builder to sell us an under construction home that wasn't on the market and wasn't going to be until it was completed. That only happened because of Tim's decades long relationship with the builder and his unequaled reputation in the local community. The successful outcome of our home search emphatically confirmed that our decision to ask Tim for help was critical. Without Tim and Jonathan we would still be searching - probably for a long time to come. 2022
I have been in the Real Estate Industry for over 51 years. I have probably done over 2,000 escrows. Tim Allen and his team are as professional as it gets. Mark Lord was helpful in answering all my questions and getting the answers to the questions that he didnt know. Some of my questions are pretty random. Brenna Gardner was probably the best escrow coordinator that I have ever worked with. Tim stepped in to tie everything together. I would highly recommend using the Allen Team. 2021
This is the third deal Tim Allen has sold us. Every deal had a impressive execution by the team. His customer service and knowledge of the area is unsurpassed. I told him what I was looking for and we quickly identified the property. With his market knowledge and incredible backup and support team I was able to do a quick close. His team is a pleasure to do business with. Being in the real estate business in Dallas I can truly appreciate the market knowledge and professionalism.
Tim knew the property on Scenic and the other agent making the transaction seamless. He was extremely helpful with the offer price and negotiations. He knew exactly how to bid it to get it closed quickly. The inspections and remaining purchase process were easy and his team made everything happen without a lot of work on our end. 2021
Your team did an outstanding job and we are grateful all went as quickly and as planned. Thank you for all you did to expedite the procedure of selling our home.
We can't thank Tim Allen and his Team enough for their professionalism, integrity and enthusiasm in marketing our home for sale!
Our home was only on the market for two days and in that time we received a record number of qualified offers.
The marketing of our home, complete with professional pictures and a beautiful virtual tour, allowed a large number of prospective buyers view our home that may not have seen it otherwise.
The entire process was painless and without drama from start to finish. We highly recommend Tim Allen and his Team, they are simply the best! 2021
