Tim Garton gave me exceptionally excellent service when I recently purchased a corner building lot in central Vallejo, CA. He kept the paper work moving efficiently toward closing, communicated promptly and effectively with the seller, kept me fully apprised at every step of the process and guided the deal to a successful closing in exactly three weeks from the date of my original offer. And this was a probate sale to boot! I would highly recommend Tim Garton to any buyer or seller who wants to do a real estate deal which is easy and fun as opposed to stressful and problematic. Tim can do it!

Tim Garton was excellent in helping us understand the local real estate and guiding us toward a realistic asking price for the house. He helped us find people to prepare the house for sale and gave excellent advice about evaluating the multiple offers we received. He was extremely professional in all his dealings with us and went above and beyond expectation to help us complete the sale successfully. We would definitely recommend him to other sellers and buyers.

Tim was always quick to provide us with any information while our house was being sold. He took the time to clearly explain the process and provide the details as the sale was proceeding. In addition, we were always able to contact him and get answers to any issues in a timely manner. We heartily recommend anyone selling a home to use him and RE/Max as a realtor.

I have worked with a lot of agents, and Tim was by far the best. I felt he was actively looking out for our best interests from start to finish. He was very good about keeping us updated every step of the way and gave us solid advice throughout the selling process. I especially appreciated the fact that he was honest and ethical and was very knowledgeable about the local market. I would definitely use him again to buy or sell property.

He was very professional in his efforts to show us various homes for sale in our preferred price range, number of bedrooms & bathrooms. His local knowledge of the neighborhoods we visited were quite beneficial in helping us to make the final right decision. We were blessed to have him as our Real Estate Agent. He is a special kind of guy that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new home in this local area. He is friendly and thoughtful. We truly appreciated his services for us.

Tim did an exceptional job of selling my parents home as part of their estate. He gave excellent suggestions on how to prepare the home for showing. His estimate of what the appraisal would be was almost exact. He was always available to answer questions. We made his job a little harder by being on a trip out of the country for 3 weeks during the escrow phase but he kept us fully informed about how things were progressing and even made arrangements so when there was some doc that needed our signature, we could take care of it by email. If you contract with Tim, you will not be sorry!

My agent was very conscious of my needs and my idea of what I wanted in a home. Furthermore, he took me to a lot of sites and he was honest as far as helping me solve and make viable decisions regarding the homes I looked at. He is a good listener and I could tell, very knowledgeable as well as professional in this business of buying and selling homes. If I were to buy another home, Tim Garton is the Man. I would certainly recommend him to others. I especially like that he made me feel comfortable, he is friendly and has a nice face to look at, and he is generous. Thank you Tim - Clydelle Brown

Tim was a wonderful agent and kept on task to keep us posted on real estate availability. He was a great resource for getting us connected with inspectors of all sorts and was available for any questions or concerns we had. He worked diligently to meet with us to show real estate, to take second looks and with us for inspections. He literally took us through the entire process. I couldn't recommend an agent more highly (and I've bought four homes in the past).

I came to Tim after giving up on a previous agent. That was probably the best decision I made in the whole home-buying process. Tim's local and practical knowledge helped fill in the gaps in my own, and he was especially helpful letting me know what requests were reasonable or not, once we got in contract. Of course I had a million and two questions, as this was my first home purchase, and Tim was always prompt and helpful in his response. Even when I found "my home", most agents would have jumped on your interest and pressed you into it, but Tim was the opposite - he had me take a step back and asked "are you sure?" He was obviously looking out for my best interest, and it was much appreciated.

Jim Bays Home Purchaser I just bought my first property (a condo), and highly recommend Tim Garton as a real estate agent. He guided me through the whole process, beginning with encouraging me to make a strong offer and do it quickly. He maintained excellent communication with my lender, the seller’s agent, and the title company, and kept me informed by both phone and email during the escrow period. I feel that he represented me well during the offer negotiation process, and gave me good advice to help me minimize various fees. Tim always was prepared, thorough, and professional when I met with him, but he also is personable and easy to work with. He was helpful when I did my home inspection, and met with me other times to make sure the appropriate paperwork was completed, etc., always in the evening so that I did not have to take extra time off from work. I am very happy to be a new homeowner, and absolutely would work with Tim again.

Timothy Garton was selected for me while I was house hunting on Movoto.com. He quickly figured out the style of home I was looking for. I was living in Fremont at the time and looking for a home in Vallejo. He was always willing to go by the property first to measure bedrooms and such so that I wouldn't have to travel all the way to Vallejo if he didn't think the home would be a fit for me. He was always willing to show me properties on both Saturdays and Sundays, even holidays which is when I found the home I fell in love with and purchased. He was always extremely pleasant and proffesional. If I'm ever in the market to buy or sell i will definately be contacting Tim.

I would highly recommend Tim as an advisor and agent, he is extremely dedicated and exceeded all of my expectations. Mine is a special case of buying a home and Tim made it a lot easier than I ever thought possible. My parents were interested in buying a home in Napa but their English is limited and felt intimidated by the process, so I was heavily involved in helping them. Keeping in mind I currently live across the country from them, Tim's effort to accommodate to our special circumstance is truly notable. From the get go Tim established a rapport of professionalism and dedication unlike no other I have ever experienced. He made himself accessible to us no matter the circumstances and traveled back in forth from his office to my parents home to personally communicate with them. Wether I called at night or on the weekends he made sure to return my phone calls and answer any questions or concerns I had. He worked hard to communicate and sync with both my parents and I and keep both ends well informed. My parents have just recently moved in to their first home and they love it. Thanks to Tim's expertise we were able to negotiate a good price, do our inspections and close the deal as effortlessly as possible.

Tim aka "The King" gets the offers accepted. He did with mine on our first house offer. He is knowledgeable and communicates the details of the whole process and is available to answer any questions or concerns from beginning to end. Everything went smoothly and Summit Funding who he referred me to was just as outstanding. I would recommend Tim and Summit Funding to my family and friends because you would be in good hands.

Tim is very friendly and helpful and found me the perfect home that was within my budget. I came to Tim interested in a condo, but after explaining my situation he found me a fixer home that was within my budget and he got me the keys to my home in just a few weeks. I´m glad I met Tim and would definitely recommend.

Felt like I was talking to a friend... He was nice and very professional. I didnt feel like he was looking at us as another sell, like some agents have treated us. He was more of a friend. We are new to the area and he showed us where to go, and where not to go.

I am a very satisfied customer having Tim represent me on the sale of my home. He kept in contact with me just about daily in keeping me informed of the interest when the "For Sale" sign went up all the way through the open and close of escrow. This is the first time I sold a home and he was very patient with me with all the questions I had and he kept me informed during the process and represented me in my best interest. I highly recommend Tim if you are looking for someone who is very familiar with Vallejo and he is honest, keeps in touch with his clients and is flexible for meetings in working around the client's schedule. Ultimately he leaves the decision-making up to the client and I felt very comfortable around him. PZ

I highly recommend Tim. I was working with another realtor before I met Tim. I had to fired the other realtor because he was too busy for me and NEVER came to any of the house viewing appointments. I don't remember exactly how I met Tim but I must say he was a angel. He was very knowledgeable of the area, always on top of things, communicate extremely well and very honest. I referred him to a friend and now they are a home owner also. Anyone I know that is house searching I would recommend Tim. He's the guy to work with.
