About Timothy

A classically trained trombonist, Tim Smith moved to Buffalo in 2009 to join the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. After purchasing their starter then dream home (through Gurney Becker & Bourne, of course!) Tim and his wife began purchasing distressed properties, renovating them, and offering quality rentals to the community. This led to an intense passion for real estate that ultimately arrived at Tim becoming a licensed salesperson and joining the Gurney Becker & Bourne team himself. As an investor, Tim has extensive experience in renovation work and a deep network of contractors, tradespeople, and professional services. Tim’s expertise lies in analysis of small multifamily properties, renovation budgeting, and investment metrics. He also runs a real estate investment consulting and mentorship business, Resonance REI, geared towards helping new investors establish the skills, network, and knowledge necessary for success. As the owner of a 180 year old home, Tim knows first-hand what goes into maintaining and updating our beautiful Buffalo real estate heritage. Tim's background as an educator spans two decades of teaching 4th grade level to doctoral students, and he has held faculty appointments at such notable institutions as the Eastman School of Music and Ithaca College. Communication, education, and mentorship skills developed here are at the core of Tim’s client-serving mission.

Helpful, responsive, extensive knowledge of local real estate market

Last summer, we texted Tim Smith out of the blue, at 9pm on a Friday night on a holiday weekend. He responded immediately, and before 8am the next morning we had the full lowdown about the property we were interested in, as well as super-detailed information about the specific neighborhood. Less than a month later we closed on the property. Tim is a fantastic agent! Throughout the process as our buyer's agent, Tim was helpful, very responsive and had an extensive knowledge of Buffalo real estate matters, from the big picture market level down to very specific neighborhoods. Visiting the property together multiple times, Tim's construction/renovation background and eye for detail really helped us identify important specifics about the property that we might have missed otherwise. Tim is very thoughtful and gets to know his clients. He asked us questions that definitely helped us step back and analyze our short- and long-term goals, and was an excellent guide helping us down the right path. We were so lucky to work with Tim, he has been a great resource before, during, and long after the sales transaction, consistently very responsive, friendly, knowledgeable (and funny!) Thank you Tim!

Nobody Does It Better!!

Tim has to be far and away the most professional - and also kind, reliable and trustworthy - realtor in the business. He goes above and beyond with every aspect of finding or buying a home, and provided excellent guidance when decisions loomed. Tim has also been a great resource for referrals or anything I might need to renovate or repair my property. Tim knows Buffalo inside and out and that was very helpful when narrowing down my search area. He’s just so good I hated to see the process end and now I wish he lived next door!!

Excellent communication & Extremely knowledgeable

Excellent communication & Extremely knowledgeable

I met him after two years of searching for the right investment property. I felt like I was not getting the information I needed prior to meeting him and I was stuck in a analysis paralysis stage. I knew somewhat of his background as an investor in the Buffalo market and wanted to take the leap to work with him to see if he could help me accomplish my goal of buying my first rental property. From the beginning, Tim was easy to reach and a great communicator with extraordinary knowledge of Buffalo real estate market and investment strategies. When we would look at houses that wouldn’t yield me the outcome that I was looking for he would be very direct and honest with me. And when he saw opportunity in properties, he would break down costs and potential cash flow. Tim was willing to meet with me during his personal time unrelated to looking at houses simply to talk about investment strategies. He is truly a one of a kind realtor and somebody that you want in your corner whether you’re looking for your forever home or a new rental property to add to your portfolio, I would recommend him 10 times out of 10.

Trustwothy, Knowledgeable, Responsive Realtor

Tim Smith was an excellent person to work with to sell my mother's home. Tim was trustworthy, very knowledgeable, and always responsive to our questions and concerns. He listened carefully to our needs and goals. He was very honest about what we might need to paint, clean, or remove, but he always remained sensitive to the sentimental attachments we had to the house my mother lived in for many years. Tim promoted the sale by taking excellent pictures of my mother's home, which he used to create an effective brochure and online presence that highlighted the house's strengths. His description of the house also helped promote the sale. Tim always went the extra step, even creating a very clever and persuasive video. Selling a home can be stressful, but working with Tim made it manageable. We grew to like Tim very much and came to trust him and his advice. He was always professional, responded quickly, and we never doubted the hard work he put in on our behalf. With Tim's help, we set a fair price, did repairs that helped the sale, and received several offers in just a few days. Tim is an excellent realtor whom I would recommend without hesitation.
