Tim Gilson acted as our agent for our recent sale of our long time home in Farmington Hills, MI He came highly recommended, for good reason, by our other family members. We were very impressed with both his experience as a Real Estate Agent and his knowledge of the Farmington Hills area neighborhoods. He responded to our calls immediately and always treated us like we were his most important client. He completed our sale in less than one day and skillfully shepherded us through the closing process. Tim kept us completely informed throughout the entire transaction. Working with Tim was a pleasure and we recommend him very highly. We don?t know how any agent could be any better, he is a very experienced agent with complete command of the real estate process and very friendly to boot, should the need arise we would certainly use his services again.

Have just completed another real estate transaction with Tim (2 in 3 years) and can not say enough about Tim's responsiveness, professionalism and integrity. It should have been a fairly simple and straight forward transaction. Due to a horrific sellers agent, things went from bad to worse. Tim stepped up and handled the other agent's deceptiveness, deceit and incompetency with skill and expertise to close the deal. Both the seller and I were so grateful for Tim's assistant. Another great job done! Less

Tim was a pleasure to work with. I had left him a voicemail initially with just my name and phone number, and before he even called back, he had done the research to learn about my property and the area it was in. He had prepared the paperwork to sell my home prior to our first meeting and with his help, I listed my property at a price that was reasonable enough to warrant an offer within a week. He helped to expedite the close process and worked with the title company to accommodate the fact that I would be out of town during the scheduled close date. I would recommend Tim to anyone- selling my home was an excellent experience with him. Less

Tim was wonderful to work with & made everything very easy for us. We are first time home buyers and live out of town. In one weekend he showed us multiple condos & helped us find one that we loved. He was also very intelligent in that we had to compete with 14 other offers and he was able to help us strategize and beat all the other offers. We are very thankful to him for all that he has done for us. He definitely goes above & beyond for his clients. We would use him again without a doubt.

Tim Gilson acted as our agent for a recent purchase in Franklin, Michigan. As an English couple who have moved to the US we knew nothing of the house buying process over here and found Tim's wealth of knowledge invaluable. Tim held our hands through the entire process, providing us with first rate information regarding the local area and walking us through the whole real estate process from beginning to end. Tim is professional at all times and clearly knows his subject in depth. He holds the needs of his clients as a priority in his dealings and works extremely hard to help you find the right property at the right price. Our timeline was tight and we found that Tim was always responsive and made himself available to us whenever required demonstrating total flexibility to meet our needs. We broke all the rules and viewed many many houses in a very short period of time, Tim was very patient and never pushy - he facilitated us finding the right home and gave us solid advice and guidance to enable us to make the right decisions. Tim always had our best interests in mind and followed up time and time again to ensure that our negotiations went smoothly and that all outstanding issues were taken care of. Working with Tim was a real pleasure and we cannot recommend him and his expertise highly enough - he will always be our agent of choice for any future dealings. Less

Tim Gilson is an absolute stellar real estate agent when when it comes to buying or selling a home. Tim went way beyond what is normally expected and I reccomend him for both sellers and buyers. He was always on top of everything and he was extreamly patient with me when I was asking him to look at 40+ homes when I bought my first home and he was a persistant and attentive when I later had to sell the home via short sale. The guy is a rockstar. You will have an excellent experience if Tim is your realator. Less

We had a really great experience with Tim. He help us to sell our home in Canton, MI and buy another home in Birmingham, MI. By following Tim's advice on setting the right selling price, we sold our home in just 2 days! While we were looking for our next home, Tim found a rental house for our family to live. Because of the low inventory on the housing market, we were having a hard time to find the right home to buy. Tim was always very patient with us. He told us to take our time and do not feel any pressure. Tim was very good at doing market research and providing data on the houses that we were interested. With his great service, we now found a wonderful home in downtown Birmingham! Tim is truely the BEST agent! Less

Tim helped me to buy a condo at Royal Oak in Dec 2011. I am extremely happy and 120% satisfied with the service Tim provided. It was my first time to buy any property. I happened to find Tim on Zillow and it turned out picking up Tim is the wisest decision I ever made in this whole process. Tim is such as nice guy to work with and so easy to become his friend. Tim is very professional and has a lot of experience in real estate. He spent a lot of time with me, informing me each detailed step of how to buy a property, and understanding my personal need. As my agent, he always sought the best benefit for me, such as how to make the best offer to the condo I like. He always made him available to me no matter how busy he is. For my case, basically Tim takes care of everything for me, from the first meeting, to finding the right condo, then to making the offer and eventually closing the deal. The whole process is VERY nice and smooth. Overall, I am VERY impressed with Tim as well as his experience and expertise in real estate. I will definitely HIGHLY recommend Tim Gilson to all my families and friends in the future. I am sure you will have the same nice experience as me if you choose Tim. Less

Tim helped me sell my condo in Walled Lake, MI on a Short Sale. I am amazed at how fast it sold and closed. We put it on the market on Aug. 4th and had an offer (higher than it was listed) within a week. We closed on it last Thursday. I was expecting the entire process to take a year, since it was a short sale, but it was so fast and Tim kept me informed through the entire process.

It was difficult for me to sell the only home I had ever purchased and lived in for fifteen years. I had so many memories, but had married and moved in with my husband. Tim was highly recommended to me and I can see why. Another thing, I am certain that with Tim's expertise and standing, he could have well declined handling my case. My house sold for very little. He did not. Throughout a very difficult transition for me, he remained attentive and calm. I elected to pay a shortfall, something I doubt Tim even had to negoitate for me, yet he did it all. I did no more in this transaction than send in forms and sign off. When I was unable to take time off from a new job, he attended two showings, one for me, one for the buyer. Honestly, I can't thank him enough for the time and patience he showed me. If you want to make your life a little easier at a difficult time, I strongly recommend contacting Tim to be your realtor.

Tim Gilson was a breeze to work with. He didn't pressure me to go out of my price range and was very knowledgeable about the area I was interested in. Tim made himself available whenever it was necessary to see a new listing or move on a property as quickly as possible which turned out to be key in getting the house I wanted. Even after the sale was completed he followed through with getting needed paperwork from the seller to lower my home owners insurance. I strongly recommend Tim Gilson.

You will not find a better agent (I have had many) He is FULL time at this not a friend of a friend who sells/buys homes for friends. Crazy smart, He is an engineer by training (also picky) and as honest as they come. I seriously can not give a higher recommendation to this agent.

We were first-time buyers, and Tim did a fantastic job explaining the entire process to us.

As a first time home buyer it was very important that I found an agent that I could trust to help me find a home. I was overly impressed with Tim Gilson from the moment I met him - Tim is patient, personable, hardworking and honest. Tim knows the area extremely well and was able to answer all of my questions and offer suggestions. He made me feel like I was his priority - exactly what you should feel when investing in a home. Not only that, he qualified me with pertinent questions and did his homework in the area I was focused in. In fact, the house I purchased was one Tim suggested and it ended up being exactly what I was looking for. I was especially impressed that I was never forced into making a decision - and actually talked out of making what would have been a bad decision. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone who is serious about buying or selling a home. I have already referred him and he has already helped others. Tim is determined and well equiped. Very knowledgeable and will work hard for you! Less
