Fantastic experience: I first met Tim years ago through a professional working relationship when I was new to mortgage lending and learning how to process and underwrite loans. My supervisor and I worked with him on a transaction, and even from that brief interaction, I knew he was someone I could trust. His professionalism and integrity made a lasting impression. From the moment Tim became our agent, he got to work. He promptly arranged for professional photography, listed our home on Zillow and other marketing platforms, and kept the process moving. Throughout the transaction, Tim was proactive, attentive, communicative, organized, gracious, and humble. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His integrity, professionalism, and dedication are evident throughout the entire process. It's easy to see why he is consistently recognized as one of the top real estate agents on the Central Coast.
Fantastic experience: A true professional Tim guided us through every step of the process praising the prep work we did while making great suggestions and reassuring us when we needed it. He arranged for necessary inspections and proved to be a superb negotiator in dealing with buyers agents. We could not be happier with the service Tim provided and recommend him without hesitation.
Thank you so much Steve. I truly appreciated working with you and Carmen as well!
Fantastic experience: Tim Riley has helped us both with buying and selling a property. In both cases, he was helpful in answering all of our questions, giving us advice, and keeping us on track. Over the years, he has given us advice on renting our property, on neighborhoods and accessability to services, found comps for our houses, and has helped us to understand the legaleze of various real estate documents. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. I highly recommend Tim Riley as a real estate agent and as an honest and good person.
Thank you so much for the kind remarks about our working experiences working together over the years! You were both a total joy to work with as well.
Fantastic experience: I had the privilege of working with Tim when buying my first property in California. From the very beginning, he was incredibly supportive and showed exceptional knowledge of the local real estate market. I ended up purchasing a home that wasn’t in new condition, and his deep understanding of the local building context proved to be a great asset. During the first inspection, we identified some potential concerns with the foundation, and Tim immediately engaged the best foundation inspector in the area to get a clear assessment. He also connected me with a highly professional yet affordable roof inspector, who not only provided a thorough evaluation but also quickly repaired several major issues at a great price. In addition, Tim coordinated a sewer expert to evaluate the existing line and a local plumber to address the most urgent plumbing needs. Thanks to all the work Tim organized and the inspections he arranged, we were able to present clear evidence of the property’s condition and negotiate a fair, honest deal — which I am super happy with. In today’s highly competitive market, having a professional who goes above and beyond their duties—driven by genuine dedication and care for their client—is invaluable. Beyond his professionalism, Tim is simply a pleasure to work with—always kind, reassuring, and supportive. As I needed to move in quickly, he even gifted me with a move in cleaning, making my transition into the new home smooth and comfortable. To top it all off, on closing day, he welcomed me at the property with a big smile and a thoughtful gift. I’m truly happy and grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Tim.
It was an absolute pleasure working with you as well Giovanni!
Fantastic experience: Tim is simply the best. I believe this is our 5th transaction with Tim, everyone one of them different with their own unique set of challenges. Tim is really good at what he does and helpful every step of the way. 5-Stars!
Yes, we've been working together since 2003! Thank you for your loyalty and referrals over the past 2 decades!
Fantastic experience: Our homebuying experience in San Luis Obispo was seamless thanks to Tim Riley. As relatively new residents, his patience and knowledge was extremely helpful in understanding the central coast market. Tim was very responsive via text/call and was quick to arrange showings of any listing that caught our eye. While Tim Riley is a very personable, kindhearted person, his professionalism throughout the closing process was second-to-none. As first-time homebuyers, he smoothly guided us through the entire process and helped negotiate a price reduction related to an issue he helped identify during escrow. Overall, Tim Riley is a spectacular person and outstanding realtor - I would 100% recommend him to any familymember/friend interested in the central coast market.
Thank you so much for the very thoughtful feedback. I'm so excited for your both and it was an honor to help you with your 1st home purchase!
Fantastic experience: Tim recently sold a legacy property that my sister and I inherited in SLO! He sold it in one week for asking price with multiple offers! We were thrilled. The property sold in a record 7 day escrow! That is unheard of! Tim had to navigate working with a contractor to oversee repairs before putting the property on the market. He also had to navigate working with 7 tenants to schedule showings! Plus my sister and I live out of state so we had to communicate via zoom calls! In the end, the property sold quickly because the the property was priced right for the market. We have been very happy with Tim’s efforts and his low key easy going personality! He was a very effective negotiator and as a result our property sold in record time! I would highly recommend Tim to represent your property as a seller! Thanks again Tim! You were amazing!
Thank you so much Michelle. You were a pleasure to work with too!
Fantastic experience: Tim has a deep 20+ year history selling and buying homes in SLO. Tim is calm, cool, collected and methodical with his gathering information from us as buyers and truly listens to our desires and goals as we navigated our market options. He negotiated very well on our behalf on an " As Is" listting and got us a great final price. He was always available and really worked hard during our contingency period. We would highly recommend Tim Riley to meet your Real Estate needs!
Thank you for the kind review Mr. Carlson! It was an absolute pleasure to be of service!
Fantastic experience: Tim is a fantastic agent to work with. His communication is excellent and he gets the job done.
Thanks Tessa, I appreciate you too!
Fantastic experience: Tim did an outstanding job helping us find and close on our ideal property. Always highly engaged, highly responsive, very knowledgeable, and full of excellent advice. I always felt like Tim has our best interests in mind; like he was treating us like family. Tim’s an all-star and I highly recommend partnering with him on your next property search.
Thank you for the kind words Brian. Its been a pleasure being of service to your family and I’m happy to take part in making your dream of returning back SLO a reality!
Fantastic experience: Made a difficult sale easy. Very helpful. Did more than what was expected.
Yes, it was a challenging sale :). I'm also very happy how it turned out in the end for you. Thank you for your honest communication throughout the process. I believe communication is the key often times.
Fantastic experience: Tim has been a fantastic real estate agent to work with. His knowledge of the area and professionalism are outstanding. We highly recommend Tim to all our friends and family. Thanks Tim for helping us purchase the home of our dreams!
Thanks for the recommendation! I'm honored to be your families Realtor of choice!
Fantastic experience: Tim Riley is highly knowledgeable, professional, sincere, personable, hardworking and trustworthy. We live out-of-state and choosing Tim as our realtor was the best decision we made; Tim earned our trust and we became confident purchasing real estate from afar. He went to properties we were interested in and videoed them for us with commentary; it was as if we were there in person. When we were ready to make an offer, he quickly put the paperwork together, looked out for our best interest, and clearly answered all our questions. Tim has built a large network of professional relationships which helped tremendously in coming to contract agreements and kept the sale moving forward to a successful close. Tim’s referrals for a lender, homeowner’s insurance agent, inspectors, property management company, etc. were outstanding to work with. Moreover, all of the referrals respect and speak highly of Tim which shows he is a person with integrity. We recommend Tim Riley wholeheartedly!
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed working with your family!
Fantastic experience: We have worked with Tim for about a year searching for the right home in San Luis Obispo for our family who was relocating from Lake Tahoe. Because of our distance, we were not able to physically be there for all the open houses, but that never stopped Tim from attending them for us and giving us in depth virtual tours to give us a better feel for the property. Tim will go above and beyond for his clients and make sure they are well taken care of throughout the process. Tim is also well respected in the industry so you know you’re in good hands when working with him since he has strong ties and relationships with a lot of the local agents. His knowledge and expertise in real estate and the local community greatly benefits any client who works with him and he is just an all around nice/great person to work with. We cannot recommend Tim enough and feel lucky we found him to help us purchase the perfect home for our family!
Thank you for the thoughtful words! It was my pleasure!
Fantastic experience: Tim Riley was phenomenal in every way imaginable. My wife and I have a daughter attending college in San Luis Obispo, CA, and we were interested in buying her a condominium that would eventually turn into a rental property. My wife was looking at available real estate online one night, and Tim initially contacted us. We are so glad that he did. We live out of town, and were only in the SLO area on short notice in tight windows. He accommodated our schedule, and only showed us properties near the college (thereby not wasting our time on units that never would have interested us). In addition, he never pressured us to "settle on” several available condos that did not meet our needs. We were especially blessed that he knew the local real estate market so well that he encouraged us to make an offer on a beautiful condo that the owners had recently taken off the market. The owners accepted (thus sparing us the inevitable bidding war that would have ensued). Early on, Tim connected us to a local loan officer who was as helpful as him. Once our offer was accepted, Tim guided us through every step of the sale process. The online documents were easy to sign and save. Tim made himself available for the home inspection and the final walk-through, and always made time for us to answer our questions and walk us through the process. Tim gave us the highest level of service and commitment possible. Simply stated, we would not have successfully purchased our condo without him, and we enthusiastically recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a public review. I'm so happy everything worked out so well for your family! You deserve nothing but the best!
Fantastic experience: Tim is just great! I have purchased and sold a house with Tim. Both times he was the perfect balance of responssive and relaxed. He kept me informed and ushered the process along but let me make the decisions. Several of my friends have worked with Tim as well and everyone has been thrilled and we all refer him to others. Work with him, you will be happy you did.
Thank you Mike! It's been a pleasure working with you over the years and I appreciate the positive feedback. I'm happy we sold your home for $111,000 over the asking price too!
Fantastic experience: I can’t tell you how impressed I have been with Tim from start to finish! I don’t live in the area, so the thought of trying to sell a home long distance was pretty overwhelming. I reached out to Tim for help and had such a positive experience that a couple of years later I went back to him again to sell a second home. He was just as impressive on the second transaction as the first, and I couldn’t have been happier. I first contacted Tim about selling a condo that I owned in the 5 Cities area. He answered my call personally and was kind enough to meet me at the home on a day and time that was convenient for me (since I didn’t live in the area). He came prepared with data about recent sales and was very knowledgeable about the area. He went through the home room by room and gave some suggestions on things I could do to make it more desirable to potential buyers. The night before the Open House, we were cleaning the condo like crazy when Tim pulled up with a load of décor and furnishings from his own home. He said he felt it would be more attractive to buyers with a little staging…talk about going above and beyond! Thanks to Tim, we ended up with multiple offers after that first Open House and it sold for more than our asking price. When I had to sell a second home, I again called Tim and the second transaction with him was just as smooth as the first. Even in the midst of Covid craziness, the home was in contract within 4 days of listing it and we got just over our asking price, thanks to Tim. I can’t speak highly enough of Tim and the stress-free experience he gave me. He provided quick responses to my questions, and I think the biggest compliment I can pay him is that I never at any point had to guess what was happening in the transaction; he kept me updated and informed throughout the entire process…both times. Tim is a true real estate professional, looking out for the interests of his clients, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.
Wow, thank you so much for the very thoughtful and detailed review. I really appreciate the time you took to summarize our experience working together. You were an absolute pleasure to work with as well! Thank you for your continued trust and loyalty over the years!
Fantastic experience: We recently purchased a home in SLO and are so thankful someone recommended Tim Riley to us! From the start, Tim was very helpful in explaining how the process works and really held our hand through all the stressors (and mountains of paperwork!). He was personable, approachable, and made us feel very comfortable through the whole home-buying process. It felt that he truly listened to our wants and needs in a home and helped us understand the pros and cons of all our choices. He was great at negotiating and often thought to include things we hadn't even considered. Tim stuck with us through the stressful rise in interest rates and helped us figure out a negotiation that would reduce our monthly payments, and therefor make our dream home affordable for us. And to top it all off, he surprised us with a beautiful gift basket filled with local products when he dropped off our keys after close. Tim was an all around great agent and we would happily recommend him to anyone!
Wow, thank you so much for the kinds words and affirmation. It was my pleasure being of service to you and your family!
Fantastic experience: In purchasing our first home, which is to say we had no idea what we were doing, Tim exceeded all expectations and made the process incredibly easy. He walked us through it step by step and answered every one of our questions or concerns. My wife and I couldn't recommend Tim more highly if you are buying or selling a home.
Thank you kind Sir! It was absolutely my pleasure and so rewarding to help you with the purchase of your first home.
Fantastic experience: Tim is an outstanding agent. He is very patient and attentive. His online system for identifying homes of interest to us was very effective. Our escrow encountered some difficult headwinds, but Tim really made it happen. It helps to have a very experienced agent in your corner when things don't always go smoothly. I would have no hesitation in asking Tim to be our agent in the future.
Thank you so much for sharing your review of my service. I hope you're loving your new home on the Central Coast!
Fantastic experience: Tim is very professional and has treated us like we were his number one client. He takes the time to understand our needs and what we were looking for. Tim is extremely responsive and thorough during the entire process. We can’t recommend him enough to all our friends and family.
Thank you for the review. You, your family, and friends have all been amazing to work with. Thank you for your continued trust.
Fantastic experience: We've had two fantastic experiences working with Tim Riley over the last seven years. He's knowledgable, very responsive, respectful, and quick to laugh. We highly recommend giving him a call.
Thank you Ben! Glad we could sell your home for $50,000+ over the asking price recently too!
Fantastic experience: My family and I are so very lucky to have met and gotten to work with Tim Riley to buy our dream house in San Luis Obispo!!! He very quickly understood what we were looking for and was masterful at helping us put together a competitive offer for exactly the type of home that we were seeking in our ideal neighborhood. My husband identified Tim Riley as the realtor we would want to work with after seeing so many rave reviews from people who successfully bought with Tim's help and we are lucky to now get to also encourage anyone looking to buy in San Luis Obispo to work with Tim Riley. My husband calls the offer that Tim helped us put together "The Tim Riley special" because of how spot on Tim was in advising us through the process of buying our home, including creative ways to compete with cash offers. Tim and his team were so incredibly responsive in handling all of the immense paperwork required throughout the process and answering any questions we had along the way, including reminding us of questions we should be asking for others on our team like the loan officers. Our 4 yo daughter so very much enjoyed talking to and meeting Tim throughout the process that she still asks about when we get to see him again. We cannot more highly recommend working with Tim and will most certainly continue to recommend him to our friends and family.
Thank you so much for the very kind and thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure being of service to you and your family. I'm excited to see how you all thrive in your new home and community here on the Central Coast!
Fantastic experience: Tim has handled two real estate transactions and we wouldn't recommend anyone else in that market. He is on top of the sales prices, and we had multiple offers within days.
Thanks so much John. It was a pleasure serving your families real estate needs here on the Central Coast. Thank you for your business loyalty and continued trust! All the best to your family moving forward.
Fantastic experience: Tim was great to work with. Very responsive and on the ball with every step of the process. I whole heartedly recommend him.
Thank you Benton. I appreciate the kind words and recommendation!
Fantastic experience: I appreciated the quick response and attention he gave me, resulting in an easy sale. My Open House went smooth and I had lots of visitors. Tim presented and helped me negotiate multiple offers!
Thank you for taking the time to review my service. I'm happy we were able to get the price bid up $20k over the listing price and sold As Is. Thank you for your continued trust with your real estate needs.
Fantastic experience: We asked our Bay Area real estate agent to find us the best local agent to help us find our new home on the Central Coast. We met with Tim and looked at several properties, and quickly found the perfect home. Tim made the buying process very smooth and easy for us, and we were able to close in 30 days with no hassles. Tim made sure we had the information we needed when we needed it, and made sure everything was done right, from constructing an offer to getting the best home inspection. Tim is professional yet easy going, and it was an absolute pleasure working with him. We highly recommend Tim to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this beautiful part of California!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback Alan. I'm happy your agent in the Bay Area took the time to research, interview me, and connect us. You were both an absolute joy to work with and I'm so happy to hear you are loving your new home!
Fantastic experience: Tim is friendly, professional & has a relaxed style that makes the buying process easy.
It is always a pleasure working with you and your family!
Fantastic experience: Everything Tim does is first-class. I've worked with him on purchases and sales. Exceeds expectations every time.
It's truly been my pleasure working with you on every transaction over the years!
Fantastic experience: Tim is an amazing realtor! He made the purchasing process so easy and enjoyable. We always knew we were in great hands. He is so incredibly prompt and responsible. If you want a realtor you know you can count on to follow through, Tim is the one for you. Whenever we had a question or request, he immediately responded with a thoughtful honest response. We really can't recommend him higher. We absolutely love our new home, but if we were ever to sell or purchase another, we would use Tim Riley without a doubt.
Thank you so much for the kind words. It was truly my pleasure helping you and your family find your dream home on the Central Coast!
Fantastic experience: Tim Riley has been the realtor of choice for ourselves and other family members. He was extremely knowledgeable about our home and the local area. Our last recent deal came in with multiple offers , many over asking price. Tim guided the sale through a quick and smooth transaction.
It's been an honor to be of service to you and your family over the past 16 years!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a real estate agent who really knows the area, his craft, can provide great guidance and direction, is calm and collected during a rough and tumble negotiation, Tim is your man. We have had the great pleasure of working with Tim on two transactions, the first one was several years ago when as Cal Poly grads we wanted to get a foothold back in SLO. We purchased a rental property and then recently we decided to take the plunge and buy a second home SLO. Tim worked with us to find some great places to look at and then when it really mattered he helped us to close a great deal on an awesome house. If you are looking to buy a house in SLO or the surrounding area you really should work with Tim, he is the best.
It was also a pleasure working with you and your family on each transaction here on the Central Coast. Thank you for your continued loyalty and trust!
Fantastic experience: Tim will make you feel super comfortable buying a home. We have purchased two homes with Tim as our agent and he got us bargains on both of them. When it came time to sell our first home, he got us an offer within three days and we closed with our original asking price! This guy is a master of his craft.
Always a pleasure working with you. I'm impressed you've already made so many improvements!
Fantastic experience: Mr. Riley is well connected in SLO real estate community. He provided us with adept loan officer as well as a top notch reasonable priced remodeler for our new condo. I was patient and allow us the time and space to make rationale decisions. It was a pleasure to work with him. Erich
Thank you Sir. I'm always happy to be of service.
Fantastic experience: Tim was hands-down the best possible realtor for my first home-buying experience. He was a consummate professional and could not have asked for more. Tim is patient, he is an excellent listener, and it was clear that his first priority was to help me find a home that was right for me, as opposed to simply selling me a house. He guided me through the negotiation process and went above and beyond to ensure that I knew what was going on throughout every stage of the process. Tim also has built a team of partners which proved to be invaluable: He put me in touch with a top-rated home-inspector and an excellent mortgage broker, among others. Most importantly Tim was very responsive and he did exactly what he said he would, when he said he would. I cannot recommend Tim Riley highly enough and he will definitely be the first call I make when I buy or sell.
Thank you so much for the very kind and thoughtful remarks. I appreciated working with you too and I'm happy to be of service!
Fantastic experience: Tim is THE best! He had our best interest in mind the entire process. He really knows San Luis Obispo inside and out! Tim is an all around great guy, kept us informed the entire time and even called after we moved to make sure we were settling in to our new home. We cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Tim!!
So happy to be of service to you and your amazing family!
Fantastic experience: We contacted Tim years ago because of his high level of sales in the SLO Co. area when we began to think about selling our property in Los Osos. As we bounced the idea around for the next couple years, Tim was always available, responsive and super easy to talk to. Given the opportunity, he spent all the time necessary to talk with me and guide me through this first-time home selling process. Fast-forward to 2020, we decided to sell with Tim. We've been living in Arizona, so this whole experience from start to finish had been completed without ever having met personally. Needless to say, this speaks to Tim's ability to establish trustful relationships even for clients over the phone and when time permitted. His strategy to marketing the house was thoughtful and calculated. Enter COVID-19. This un-charted territory of selling and showing a home during this strange time proved Tim to be calm and un-phased by the new demands on selling Real Estate. Adding to the challenge, we had renters in our house, yet Tim was mindful of protecting everyones privacy and safety. We were able to close successfully on the planned date, and all parties were satisfied. All-in-all we had a great experience with Tim, and I truly believe that we couldn't have had a better outcome with anyone else. What sets Tim apart from other real estate teams, in my opinion, is the fact that when you have a question, its Tim who responds and takes the time to walk you through everything... not some other agent or part of his team. He's a top seller in the area for a good reason. Tim's local experience and personality will bring you the best outcomes when selling your home or investment property.
Fantastic experience: Working with Tim was easy, pleasant and stress-free. He was always timely, clear and informative and made the home-buying process very relaxed.
Thank you Emily. Keep in touch!
Fantastic experience: Responsive, follow through and professional during the entire process. His ability to communicate and coordinate efforts with an occupied property and provide showings and notifications to tenants was a challenge, but Tim was successful and excellent from start to end!
Fantastic experience: If you need a realtor, I would not hesitate at all to recommend Tim’s services. Tim first helped my wife and I buy a new construction townhome in SLO in 2015. It was a competitive bidding process, but Tim expertly guided us through it, giving great advice and explaining each step along the way. Four years later, Tim helped us buy a single-family home also in SLO. This was significantly more stressful because the purchase was contingent on the sale of our original townhome. Again, Tim kept us cool and got the job done. In all of our interactions with Tim we have appreciated his patience, his experience, and his kindness. I’m not sure how many clients he works with at one time, but we have always felt like a top priority for him. Now that we’re settled into our new place, he is still helping us by giving us recommendations on vendors as we do some renovations. Thanks, Tim!
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful recommendation Scott. I'm always here to help and appreciate working with your amazing family!
Fantastic experience: Tim worked with us to locate investment property in San Luis Obispo. He really narrowed down our search and found the perfect property that met all of our parameters. He is competent, thorough and a pleasure to work with.
Thank you Gina, you were a pleasure to work with too!
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Tim Riley for over 20 years, he has also worked with my friends and family for just as long. No question he is the best....I wouldn't trust anyone else. He and his wife are a powerhouse of team, breaking records on property sales and absolutely crushing it on purchases for me. I wont ever use anyone else.
Wow, thank you so much for your loyalty and trust over all these years Jake. It's been my pleasure to be of service to you, your family, and friends!
Fantastic experience: We sold our home in 5 days! Dave guided us through the entire sale process, resulting in a deal above asking price. We appreciated Dave's timely communication and guidance as well as the final result!. Well done Dave!
Thank you Frank. Yes, I was recommended by Dave Ramsey :). I'm so glad the marketing and negotiations worked out as planned. A final price of over $1.2m, cash, and As Is condition sale was optimal! It was a pleasure working with you both.
Fantastic experience: Tim is an amazing agent. We couldn’t be happier with the sale of our home. Tim gave us expert advice and worked diligently to meet our goals. Because of him, we accepted a great offer by day 4 after listing and exceeded our goal sale price! We couldn’t recommend a more talented, professional and committed agent!
Fantastic experience: Tim was so incredibly patient with us through showing after showing as we navigated a tough market to find our forever home (with many specific amenities that we were looking for). We thoroughly enjoyed working with Tim and will continue to do so whenever the need arises.
Fantastic experience: We would recommend Tim and his team! Our family did not know the San Luis Obispo area and he helped us find a new home. He worked hard with the other agent to close in a timely manner. He was very responsive to our needs and was there when we needed him to answer questions. Tim and his team were knowledgeable and supportive. He accompanied us on many tours, worked with the current tenants and contacted the seller’s agent to close the sale of our home. His team was extremely professional and did an impressive job handling the paperwork for the home. He worked hard to find a home that would work for our family and took us and our college age son on many, many home tours. He also scheduled inspections in a timely manner that we needed to close on the sale of our home. Thank you, Tim and your team for your help in purchasing our home!
You're very welcome, it was a pleasure working with you and your family members!
Fantastic experience: We were new to the area, had no references, and picked Tim based on reviews. We are very happy we did. He was very professional, responsive and stayed on top of everything in a timely manner which was a huge help for us as we were very busy. He was great at communicating between buyer and seller and his calm, cool disposition was a great asset during the bidding process and afterwards to negotiate on our behalf with the seller. We would highly recommend Tim and would reach out to him again for his real estate expertise.
Thank you so much! I enjoyed working with you and your family as well!
Fantastic experience: Tim was the realtor we accidentally found when we originally purchased our home in Morro Bay. He was so professional and helpful we highly recommended him to a number of people. When we decided to sell our house 16 years later he was our intentional and first choice. He handled every detail with professionalism and great attention to detail. He did a great job of showing the house in its best light and marketing efforts paid off. The house sold in 3 days, escrow closed closed in less than a month. Tim managed to get every detail taken care of so that escrow could close early. We truly appreciate Tim for the great agent and honest person he is.
I can't believe how quickly time passes! Thank you for your continued trust and loyalty. I'm glad we were able to sell your home for 100% of the asking price and close early!
Fantastic experience: Tim listened to our needs and found us our home. He kept us informed during the purchase process. The many questions I asked were always clearly answered. His knowledge and professionalism is outstanding. We highly recommend him.
Thank you so much Julie. It's been a pleasure serving your family's real estate needs!
Fantastic experience: Tim provided excellent service to our family as we navigated a complex purchasing process here in SLO. He struck a nice balance of listening to our needs while also proposing ideas we hadn't necessarily considered. Never pushy, always informative, and very easy to work with, I'd highly recommend Tim to anyone in the area.
Fantastic experience: Tim was very professional and knowledgeable. We moved to the SLO area from Northern CA. Tim helped us understand the market by showing us properties for almost two years prior to us moving. Then when we were ready to move we felt confident in the choice we made. I would recommend Tim to any friend or family.
Thank you for the kind words Bob. It's been great assisting you and your family over the years and I look to assisting you all in the future again when my services is needed.
Fantastic experience: Tim helped me buy my first single family residence! He was an amazing help with the intricacies of that transaction but, more importantly, he also provided amazing insights in to real estate developments he has done in the past and how we may be able to do something similar with some open space on my property. His experience is invaluable and he was very communicative and accessible throughout the process. Thank you Tim!
Fantastic experience: Tim is an awesome realtor. He is honest, trustworthy and got us a great deal. He was great at explaining the process and managed to keep us informed and calm. I would highly recommend him to any buyer or seller.
Fantastic experience: We reached out to Tim via a web form and he contacted us shortly after, and the rest is history. Tim got us into a pre-market home to tour before anyone else had even viewed the property. He also notified us of other pre-market open houses that we weren't aware of despite of online results through the usual web sites. He has a fantastic pulse on the market and often knows what's happening (homes going up for sale, etc.) before they happen. When it came to putting together an offer package and negotiating, Tim was phenomenal. He had recommendations that we never would have considered, and our success in purchasing is due to his expertise. He is knowledgeable, patient, and laid back--couldn't ask for anything more in a realtor. We would recommend Tim without hesitation.
Fantastic experience: When we were looking for an agent in San Luis Obispo, we wanted someone who was knowledgeable on the area, the market and who understood what we wanted for our family. Tim fit all these requirements and more! He was easy to talk to and gave us all the time we needed. He was also very quick to respond to all of our inquiries and really made us feel like getting what we wanted, was also a priority to him. We are so grateful that a friend recommended him to us. I am not surprised that he has been named the top selling agent in the county! Tim really cares and will work hard to find what you are looking for.
Thank you Mary and Mike for your thoughtful review. It was a pleasure helping your family with the purchase of your home!
Fantastic experience: Tim is the most knowledgeable, easy-going realtors in the area. He's helped us both buy and sell property, and I've been extremely grateful for his service. When buying, he really went to bat for us and made us feel very comfortable with the process. And when selling, he was very strategic with timing, pricing, staging, and negotiating. The end result was well above our expectations.
Thank you for the kind review and feedback Eric. It has been a pleasure serving your family's real estate needs over the years! Selling your home to a cash buyer for $22,000 over our asking price feels good too!
Fantastic experience: Tim was really helpful and accessible throughout the whole transaction when we purchased a house. We encountered a problem on the final walk through and Tim took care of the problem personally.
Fantastic experience: Tim helped up sell our house in Paso Robles that we had been renting. We live out of town and were not available for dealing with much but Tim was always there, on site, and made it easy for us. Tim helped us sell our house for above the listing price and was very professional. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Tim enough! He showed us a few houses when we first started out looking. A few months passed after that first showing while we fizzled. When our rental lease was winding down again, we contacted Tim and he took us around to a few places, and even a few that weren't on the market yet. He finally took us to our favorite house, where we put an offer in the next day, which the owners accepted! Tim took us through every step of the process: he helped us find the place, helped us decide how much to put the offer in for, gave us advice on lenders, talked us through inspections and even negotiated escrow to end right when our lease was up on our rental so there was no overlap. People always say that buying a house can be a nightmare but we actually had a wonderful experience from start to end, and a massive reason for that is Tim. Again, can't recommend him enough!
Fantastic experience: Tim is extremely knowledgeable about the local markets, and an absolute pleasure to work with! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: We found Tim Riley while looking for property in San Luis Obispo for our daughter. Tim helped us find the right condo to buy and 3 years later he just helped us sell the condo. Both times the process went very smoothly. Tim is very informative and kept in great communication with us the entire time. We highly recommend using Tim for your real estate needs.
Thank you so much for the feedback. Your family has been such a joy to work with!
Fantastic experience: Repeat client of Tim’s, selling and purchasing. Would highly recommend him and his staff. Professional, thoughtful and first class.
Fantastic experience: Tim was very professional, has access to reasonable contractors if needed and got more for our home in San Luis Obispo than we listed for. Great agent
Fantastic experience: We used Tim Riley as our agent when we bought a home in 2003 and again when we sold the home in 2017. He is very professional and has great client service. We got an excellent offer and closed escrow in record time. we could not be happier with the service and results we received from Tim. We would definitely use him again and again.
Fantastic experience: Tim Riley is THE BEST! He helped my wife and I purchase our first home together, and we've recommended him to our friends and family who have also become fans of Tim. He's professional, reliable, responsive, and provides great guidance. Tim is definitely our go-to guy!
Thanks so much. It's been a pleasure working with you over the years and watching your family grow!
Fantastic experience: This is the second property we've purchased using Tim. He is experienced, knowledgeable, professional, and kind. I always felt confident through each step of the buying process. Responsive and patient - even when I asked A LOT of questions, Tim goes above and beyond. I'd recommend him to anyone without reservation!
Thank you for the kind words Anna and David. I enjoyed working with you both very much!
Fantastic experience: Tim Riley is an exceptional real estate agent - has performed very well in all of our transactions both as a buyer and seller agent and his firm, Century 21 Hometown Realty is a great company
Fantastic experience: Tim has been the #1 sales rep with Century 21 for several years for a reason! He was extremely thoughtful and helpful in all of our home viewings. Not sure why other reviewer stated what she did, but this was not how we saw Tim in action as he showed us numerous homes before finding us the home we live in (in the City of S.L.O.). We have referred him to our sons, who both purchased local homes through him, and several friends. All absolutely loved dealing with him. He is truly is one of the most honest, thoughtful, and knowledgeable real estate persons I've ever dealt with. I highly recommend Tim Riley to you!
Thank you so much for the kind words Mr. Gailey. It has been an honor and a privilege to represent all your families real estate needs over the past decade.
Negative experience: Tim Riley was extremely disrespectful to current tenants of a home while in escrow with new owners. He would show up without notice, not communicate with the current tenants, and treat us with contempt. Take your business elsewhere if you want to be treated like a human being.
I'm very sorry to hear you felt that way Kailey as I understand the sale process can be frustrating for Tenants at times. I conducted myself with professionalism and was respectful to all 5 of the occupants in the property during the short time the property was listed for sale. It was actively listed for 14 days and we scheduled 8-10 showings. The escrow closed 35 days later. The owner/landlord of the property gave me specific instructions to contact Brenna (as the lead tenant contact) to coordinate any/all showings which I did. I still have a copy of the lease agreement and your name is not on the lease. My interactions with each of the other tenants was always friendly and positive.
