Tim’s comfortable interaction with people has stood the test of time and he is considered a leader in the real estate industry. He’s known success as a real estate agent since he was 20 years old, coveted with awards during his tenure as Partner at both Kay and Burton, and Jellis Craig.

Clients often turn into friends and while Tim is clear eyed about the ups and downs of the business, he believes he’s chosen a career that can genuinely help people.

Tim prides himself on being a great Dad to his 11yr old twins, Benny and Lulu, and plays an active part with them in the community through schooling, sport and recreation, and is a corporate sponsor of the Glen Iris Gladiators JFC.

Here’s what our clients have to say

    We engaged Tim in February 2024 to assist us finding a new family house in Hawthorn. Being in the property industry I was initially sceptical whether a buyer advocate was warranted for us. However, after going through the process I am glad that we engaged Tim as we got a wonderful result with an opportunity we would not have seen without Tim representing us. Before we engaged Tim he gave advice on our existing house and advised our place was special, hard to replace and recommended for us to stay rather than sell and look elsewhere. This built a lot of trust in him as there was no incentive for Tim to give that opinion as it risked losing us as potential clients. In the end we were able to get the perfect house for us, at a great price. It was off market and put to us without any one else having access to it. It was comfortably the best property over our search journey and we are thrilled to have secured this house. Tim is a leader in the field, particularly with family houses in Boroondara and Stonnington. I would strongly recommend him to anyone considering engaging a buyer advocate.

    It is with great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for your assistance in finding us our family home (in our dream street too!) in the Gascoigne Estate, East Malvern. Engaging you to represent us was the best decision we made. You made us feel like we were your only clients and gave us your utmost attention, expertise and knowledge about the local market. Your insights, contacts and strategy in securing our family home can only be applauded and admired. I doubt many people would have been able to replicate what you managed to achieve, especially given the number of interested parties vying for the property you secured for us. We thank you once again for your amazing efforts and would have no hesitations in engaging your help again should we be in the market to transact again.

    Tim was excellent at clearly identify both pros and cons for each property which helped greatly in my decision making process. His market knowledge, endless real estate industry contacts and exceptional negotiating skills made him invaluable. He is dedicated, polite, extremely helpful and provided excellent advice with frequent communication. All of these attributes made Tim a fantastic resource and the whole process of buying our home so simple.

    We are very happy with the purchase of our new property in Hawthorn. Tim’s real estate market experience, contacts and advice in negotiation was extremely helpful to the point we would not have secured this property without him. I would highly recommend Tim and his expertise to anyone looking to use a Buyers Advocate to purchase their next property.
