ResCo Homes

We met Tim and Amy back in 2012. They have quite a contingent of satisfied clients among my husband’s circle of friends. We were engaged and looking to buy a condo in Boston. We searched near and far and finally, through a gentle nudge from Tim, choose Jamaica Plain. The way Tim and Amy work with their clients is truly differentiating. They are always responsive, provide honest counsel and are fun to work with. They let us know in advance if they are going to be unavailable and back each other up. We made so many offers over a six month period, but with each one their level of engagement and professionalism remained. We got lucky and had our offer accepted on a second floor unit in a beautifully renovated building in a desirable location in JP.
Two years later, we decided to sell and of course engaged Tim and Amy to help. Two years sounds short, but we were lucky in that the market was still strong and demand for this location and type of unit was bountiful. You could say the place sold itself, but having Tim, Amy and their team representing our property gave us total confidence. They carefully and thoroughly managed every step of the process from the initial walk through to evaluate the unit, hiring a photographer, printing beautiful marketing brochures, managing the open house and helping us choose the best offer (of which we had a couple in an extremely short period of time). We also ran into some issues with the condo association and even after the sale closed, they were still checking in to make sure things would be resolved.
I cannot recommend this real estate duo more! Tim and Amy — you are the best. Keep up the good work. You set the bar for brokers in Boston.

We just completed the sale of our home with Tim and Amy and could not be happier. They are both professional, thorough and very easy to work with. My family and I recently moved out of state and we were concerned about selling our home from such a far distance, but with Tim and Amy on the job we had no worries. They handled everything. They are great people.

I have worked with Tim and Amy for over three years, both personally and professionally, and can attest to their market knowledge, professionalism, and integrity. Plus, they are really nice people who are a pleasure to work with. They approach every assignment and transaction as if they were the principals, which allows their clients to trust their advice completely. I purchased an investment property in Dorchester with them, bid on several others, and most recently, my wife and I purchased our new home in the South End through Tim and Amy. I couldn’t recommend them more highly for buyers and/​or sellers.

I cannot say enough positive things about Tim and his team at The Residential Collaborative. From the moment my fiancé and I stepped foot in their offices we knew we were in the best of hands. Tim and team member Lauren explained the whole process to us (the good, the bad and the ugly) and made sure all of our questions and concerns were fully answered. Tim’s knowledge of the structural and mechanical inner workings of properties is impressive to say the least. It’s a highly competitive market out there but Tim and Lauren were incredibly patient and made sure we didn’t let our emotions get the best of us. Not only did they help us find the perfect home at a fair price but they also made the whole process a blast.

Luxury boutique real estate firm, but run by your best friends. That’s what I think of when I think of Amy, Tim and The Residential Collaborative experience. Amy and Tim handled our concurrent purchase and sale transactions seamlessly, expertly, and with a level of professionalism, patience and communication I never knew existed. Anyone will tell you that buying, selling and moving can be some of the most stressful experiences in life, but, with a team as good as these guys, a team who treats you like you’re always their top priority, you can’t help but love every moment of the transaction.
They’re better than the best, they’re amazing people, and you won’t want to work with anyone else once you meet them. Promise!

My husband and I were looking for our first home and Tim and Amy were great. They met with us and explained the whole process from beginning to end and clearly explained what money we would need at what time. They also helped connect us with a mortgage company and lawyer. They were readily available via phone or e-​mail. They also have a great staff working with them. There were a few times we wanted to see a house and they were out of town, so someone else from their agency was able to come meet with us. It was an all around great company.

We enjoyed working with Tim and Amy on our two relatively recent real estate transactions. They helped us find our great new condo and then helped us sell our house. They were helpful and available throughout both processes. This was our first time selling a property and they made the process very clear, had tons of useful recommendations and facilitated everything. Very knowledgeable and professionals. Not to mention they are great people — incredibly friendly and thoughtful.

We have had the pleasure of working with Tim and Amy on three separate occasions (so far) and we cannot thank them enough for all their hard work! We have purchased a condo, sold a condo and rented a condo with Tim and Amy’s help. Their extremely knowledgeable in real estate, their responsiveness is greatly appreciative and they are trustworthy. They walked us through every step of the process so we knew exactly what to expect. Tim and Amy truly work as a team and the have a great book of resources that they can refer to you (attorney, mortgage brokerage, inspector, electrician, the list goes on and on). You could call them a one-​stop shop! Buying and selling can be extremely stressful but Tim and Amy were always there to talk things out (and extremely easy to get ahold of) and for that we are grateful. When it was time for us to rent out our first condo, I was extremely nervous. Tim and Amy found us an amazing tenant who respected our condo as much as we did. We look forward to working with Tim and Amy again in the near future to purchase our first house! They are the best! I would 100% recommend working with Tim and Amy!

Tim & Amy helped me and my fiancé buy our first home last year, and we couldn’t be happier. Both Tim and Amy are knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. As a team, they are even more effective. One of them was always there to advise us at every open house and inspection. They were smart strategists and effective advocates when it came to bidding and negotiations, and they looked out for our interests from start to finish. Overall, they helped us secure a great deal in a highly competitive Boston market. We love our new home, and we are so relieved that we had them to guide us through the process. We’d recommend Tim & Amy to anyone, but especially young, first time home-​buyers. They are trustworthy, patient, and genuinely nice people. We’d work with them again in a heartbeat.

Tim and Amy are unbelievable. I had been looking for a year at the time at which I met Amy, and had worked with two other realtors. I kept feeling like I was being pushed towards properties I didn’t really want, for the sake of making money, or the appropriate actions weren’t being taken to get me the perfect condo. Within 2 months of working with Tim and Amy, I found an amazing place. Not only that, but they were so involved in the entire process, including with my lawyer, the HOA, etc., that it made everything so turnkey. I was shocked at how truly knowledgable they were about all aspects of the business. I would 100% recommend working with these two.

Made the process of selling my condo so easy! So professional and had a lot of patience when I asked a million questions. Living in a different state from the property you are selling can be stressful but Tim and Amy went above and beyond to do an AMAZING job!

Amy and Tim helped my husband and I purchase our first home over the summer 2013. They were very knowledgeable about the process, neighborhoods, gave great advice, was very patient and supportive. We would highly recommend them to any one looking for a real estate agent. WE couldn’t have chosen a better agent. Amy and Tim, you rock!!!

Tim was a patient and responsive Agent as I stumbled through the process of buying my first place. He was quick to find answers to tough questions, and a wonderful advocate for me when the other parties involved missed deadlines or weren’t thorough enough. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to buy a new place.

Tim helped out my wife and I find our first home here in the Somerville area and we couldn’t be happier. He was invaluable to have at each showing and new exactly what to look for that we would have easily overlooked if on our own. Be smart, buy a home with help and if you’re really smart, you’ll use Tim Deihl.

Amy and Tim have been handling the rentals for my apartment building in Boston. They act very professional, represented me well, are knowledgeable of the neighborhoods, and did an outstanding job. They supplied me with high-​quality tenants. i’m very pleased. I recommend them highly.
