Tim Woloshyn

Tim is a fantastic agent. He helped us through a long process of finding the right house for us in SF. He is knowledgeable, friendly, sincere and helpful throughout the process. We always looked forward to meeting up with him as he is a pleasure to spend time with. He makes the process easy, as easy it can be in a tricky market. He also brought his background as a city planner to bear on assessing properties for sale and walked us through some nitty gritty details that we wouldn’t have known to think about.
In 2016 he successfully helped us navigate our way through a sticky counteroffer situation — we came out of it with the property and feeling like we paid what the house was worth without overshooting. Tim is professional, dedicated and an all around great agent, especially for San Francisco properties as he knows the city and that particular market so well. We were referred by a friend who also had a great experience with him buying a property on Telegraph Hill a couple years back.

Tim is AWESOME.
Tim represented us on the sell side in the Mission in late-​2012, before the market had heated up in our neighborhood.
I told him the target price I wanted to hit. He told me it was aggressive and possibly impossible, but that he was the real estate agent who would do everything it took to get us as close to that number as possible.
He recommended we use a stager he’s worked with in the past. I was skeptical, but agreed to it… and boy was Tim right! He recommended we paint the building — dark, dark gray, ahead of that trend — and we did, and again, it was a genius move.
We hit the target price within a couple weeks, maybe three. It may have been a record on that block in the Mission.
Tim puts himself in the shoes of the target buyer and works backwards from there.
He’s the first San Francisco-​based real estate agent I’ve worked with who’s a smart, sincere, straight-​talking person who seems to worry more about his client reaching their goals than about him making his commission.
Want to work with a stand-​up guy who will do his damnedest to help you reach your real estate goals? Want to work with a decent, real person with principles? Work with Tim. You’d be happy you did. First real estate agent I’d ever want to see at a dinner party!

Over the past month or so, my husband and I have enjoyed settling in to our first home, thanks to Tim! Throughout the process, Tim always made himself available to talk through everything from loan options and the structure of an offer to strategies and neighborhoods that would be the best fit for us. Tim is so helpful and genuine — it’s very reassuring to have someone so knowledgeable who really cares in your corner, especially in this crazy SF market. He was never pushy and never suggested aggressive strategies that would cause problems for us in the long run. He was there for many a late night call and weekend open house, and always followed up promptly when we called or emailed. He visited countless houses for us; his opinion helped calibrate our reaction and also helped point out some negatives that we might not have noticed in our eagerness to find the perfect home. Tim definitely made the frustrating home-​buying process as easy and smooth as possible.
We highly recommend Tim for anyone looking to buy property in SF!

As a first time home buyer I wanted a realtor to help guide me through the process. Tim was a great realtor. He was knowledgeable, reliable, and focused on helping me make the right purchase.
Tim is knowledgeable about the real estate market in SF and gave an honest opinion about each unit. We saw several units throughout the city and hearing multiple points of view helped me to identify specific criteria for what I was looking for in a home.
He was available when I had questions and would promptly respond to emails. I had a lot of questions since this first time home purchase was also a short sale. The short sale portion of the transaction was stressful and Tim was very helpful throughout the entire process.
Thanks TIm!

My fiancée and I just worked with Tim to buy our first home. Tim was amazingly helpful, full of energy and sincere.
The most important thing that struck me working with Tim is how honest and kind he seemed to be. We were buying a two-​unit TIC, so there were two other agents involved (seller and the other buyer). Of the three, it was clear that Tim was the one kind of guy you’d want to have as a friend. The other two came across as slick salespeople. When it comes to buying a place, it’s nice to know that the man who’s representing is acting with honesty and integrity.
He was also a veritable ball of energy. He kept things moving. He dug deeper into some issues that the other agents were glossing over. He was there for us when our own schedules kept us from being at the building. Even after the sale completed, he kept checking in to make sure that everything was going well, and helped us deal with a couple of last minute issues.
It’s also worth noting that Tim found us a place that we might not have otherwise found on our own, and it is pretty much our dream home. It was a great find.
The only weakness with Tim is that his knowledge of the legalities and financing of TIC arrangements seemed a little weak. He was willing to do the research when we asked questions, but didn’t seem as comfortable with TIC scenarios as he was with condo or single-​family home sales.
Thanks to Tim for being there for the late night emails and text messages, and for getting the deal closed on time with all issues resolved. He is definitely going to be the man we talk to for our next home sale/​purchase.

I just purchased my first house and Tim Woloshyn was my agent. My situation was unique because I was going to be out of the country for most of the escrow period and needed to be sure that my agent was someone that I could trust to handle any situation that arose while I was gone. In addition– this was my first home purchase so I needed someone that was patient and could help explain each step of the process in detail.
Tim Woloshyn was amazing! He is extremely patient and knowledgeable. He really knows the San Francisco market. This was my first time going through this process and Tim took his time to make sure that I felt comfortable and understood what was happening at each phase during the escrow period. I learned a ton from Tim. Beyond his professional acumen– he is a great guy and a pleasure to be around and work with. It was really comforting to know that I was «in good hands» while I was away. I always felt that he had my best interest at heart.
I was out of the country for most of the escrow period and Tim made himself available at odd hours to accommodate me. He was willing to call, Skype, email, etc. — whatever form of communication was easiest for me. He always put me first. He is a great guy– friendly, nice, polite, and smart. I would recommend him to all my friends and family.

I spent my last weekend happily unpacking in the beautiful condo that I purchased.
This was my second time buying a home and Tim was my agent. Compared to my last experience, working with Tim was not only easy, fun, and helpful, but also I learned a lot and relied on his advice and support the entire time.
Home buying can be a painful process and there are thousands of things to consider. Tim made it easy for me and explained everything that I wanted to know with great patience. When I first decided to start this process, Tim and I met and he asked me many questions about what I wanted in a home. He was observant, sharp, and smart to understand exactly what I wanted and started to send me listings of homes that I would be interested in.
When I found the place that I wanted, which happened in a couple months, the paper work started. Tim walked me through all the important documents and made sure I understood everything that I signed.
He is also accommodating — I would be coming home from work late and he would still be able to meet me to go through the paper work.
Through out my complicated loan process, Tim was also there for me to help out far beyond his responsibility. He worked with the loan broker on my behalf when I had a hard time communicating. Whenever I had concerns or worries throughout the whole process, I called Tim for assurance. Whenever I asked, he either gave me satisfying answers right away or got back to me quickly. Since he was knowledgeable about SF, thorough, super nice, responsive, and detail oriented, I trusted him early on in the process.
I am very very happy with my purchase and cannot recommend Tim highly enough!
Thank you, Tim!

I’m writing this review as the proud (first time) owner of a dream home in my dream city, and Tim represented me as the buyer in a short sale property.
As a long time resident he has a solid knowledge of the city, in depth awareness of the local real estate market as you’d expect and the skills necessary to navigate the processes and procedures of a complicated transaction such as a home purchase (mine was a potentially tricky short sale).
More than his obvious profesional competence, what impressed me most about Tim is that he is a genuine good guy… …of course, realtors are incentivized in home purchases, but I felt Tim’s ethos is to put the client first and all else will follow… I was able to place my trust in Tim to look after my interests and he delivered, Thanks Tim, 5 stars and recommended without reservation.

I have to start out by admitting that Tim is my husband. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t know what I’m talking about!
We are right at the age where our friends are starting families and making the move to buy homes in the City. Tim has been invaluable to those friends and has helped them find the best deals for their money. The same can be said for our former bachelor friends who discover they need a little more space and perhaps a quieter neighborhood?!
I describe the above people as friends because that’s what they truly become through this process with Tim. He honestly cares about getting you into the right place for your budget, and also cares about getting you the best bang for your buck in a sale.
Tim has his masters degree in Urban Planning and has spent time working for the City of San Francisco. After that work he was involved in consulting on large home development projects and commercial land transactions. As you can see his true bailiwick is real estate. You couldn’t ask for a guy more well versed in these city streets and the TRUE value of the homes on them.
5 big huge stars!

It was my first time purchasing a home and I was nervous like anyone would be. Tim was very courteous and attentive to me as I figured out what house I wanted and asked the newcomer questions. We ended up making multiple offers and Tim was certain to get the details right and work with the seller’s agent to ensure a good working rapport. Tim’s suggestion on an offer is what got me my home over 3 competing bids. I’d definitely recommend him!
