Excellent advice and guidance through selling process

Tim is an excellent realtor and made the house selling process as straightforward and successful as possible. He helped us buy and sell, but this review is focused on the sale of our house. This was our first time selling a house, and we were dreading the process, especially the preparations and the evaluation of (hopefully) multiple offers. Once we started the sale process, Tim walked us through all the what-if scenarios of the entire process, including prep, pre-inspection, listing, and talking through the key details that we'd look for in each offer. He suggested that we do a pre-inspection of the house, which initially seemed odd, but after discussing it a bit we thought it was a good idea. And it turns out it was a great idea, as it really enabled buyers to have confidence in the quality and lack-of-surprises in the home, enabling them to write higher offers and/or waive their inspection period. Our house received multiple offers above list price, including some with waived inspections, and we believe that was due to Tim's great suggestion to do a pre-inspection. Overall we had a good time working with Tim, he was very professional and is a reliable communicator.

Matthew, thanks so much for taking the time to write this! First-time sellers have such a special place in my process because I know how much is riding on getting it right. I'm really glad I was able to convince you on the pre-inspection. It's a recommendation I make often, and the reason is simple: buyers look for red flags, not green lights. My job is to make sure that when they walk through the door, they're seeing every green light possible and the hesitation is removed. I compare it a lot to buying a certified pre-owned car versus a used car off the lot. When buyers can walk in with confidence, the whole dynamic shifts, and you saw that play out exactly the way it should. I also really believe in walking through all the scenarios ahead of time. It's the best way to stay prepared for the outcomes we don't have control over, especially launching during the ICE surge we were seeing in Minneapolis which was a curveball listing we couldn't expect. The more we can think through in advance, the clearer your decisions become when it actually counts. You both trusted my process and it really paid off in a huge way, with us getting an offer of $36,000 over ask Congrats again on the sale, and thank you for letting me be part of both sides of your journey. I truly hope you and Anna stay in touch!
