Testimonials

We could not have found the perfect, quaint Carmel cottage without the help of everyone at Team Allen. The insight of real Carmel insiders like those who helped us was really invaluable given the unique aspects of each neighborhood. In the end the real honesty of Tim and the entire team about location and potential are what really helped us to make our choice. Also, putting us in touch with people they trust and respect to help us do the work needed on the home is huge. From an arborist to a contractor, to surveyors, it has saved us a lot of long hours of research.

We are so pleased with the way our home sale was conducted. From the photos and landscaping, to the close of escrow, the entire Tim Allen Properties team, headed by Mark Lord, were there to guide us through the changing issues during the sale. We would highly recommend Mark and the Tim Allen team to everyone planning to sell their home.

Working with Billy at Team Allen has been an easeful experience. Billy is responsive, knowledgable (and if he doesn’t know he will go the extra mile to find out!), and resourceful. Billy showed the home, represented me and the sellers, and assisted in all the negotiations with poise and warmth. He responds timely to texts and phone messages and even removed the left over staging himself. It was a pleasure to work with Billy and would be happy to do so again.

It was a great experience to work with a very professional and attentive team. Very efficient and precise across all the communications and documentation.

Well deserved Congratulations are in order to your dedicated team of professionals, who worked relentlessly despite all the challenges and the obstacles imposed by the prior owner of the property, in order to bring the ideal buyers, whom I had the pleasure of meeting yesterday after the closing. As I met with each and every member of the family, including their 12 year old dog named Chocolate, which was truly astonishing since our beloved Labrador Retriever is also named Chocolate and is also 12 years old as of this summer I realized that they are the most suited folks to enjoy our house and create wonderful memories in there for many years to come, which was made possible through your and your team's hard efforts.

First rate..from beginning to end. The strong back office makes a huge difference!

From start to finish this was a well run operation - much more than just selling the house. Your entire team was incredibly efficient, effective and resourceful! You’ve got a great team of professionals that were responsive, and provided superb guidance during every step of the process. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your team.

This was our second transaction with Tim and Brenna. They were very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed every minute of it!

Tim and his team not only has been presenting us to purchase properties, but also he has been a partner in consulting with us to provide us very honest inputs. Very passionate with real estate and his objectives are not just making deal, but he wants to make sure he clients get best information to make best choice.

Thank you all for making the sale of our family home an enjoyable and efficient effort. I enjoyed working with all of the TA team.

We are proud to celebrate the astonishing sales success of Tim. Topping the ranks of the incredible Coldwell Banker network is a testament to his high-level business acumen and dedication to his clients.

It is my utmost pleasure to congratulate Tim for his impressive 2021 sales milestone. Tim is a highly regarded agent who possesses a strong work ethic and a long-established reputation as the market expert of the Carmel region. He consistently provides stunning marketing strategies, high-caliber services for his clients and superior market expertise.

We recently completed the sale of our longtime family vacation home in The Carmel Highlands. Since we have no family members in the area, it was up to Tim and his team to take care of every detail. They were spot on regarding pricing, marketing strategy and price negotiation. Due to their extensive knowledge of the marketability of the area, we had multiple offers within the first three days. Suffice to say, we were thrilled with what Team Allen provided. A special thanks to Tim's partner, Jonathan Balog, who was our personal realtor, and tasked with keeping everything rolling smoothly along from start to finish. Thanks to the entire team, the sale of our home was fast, efficient, and most importantly, very nearly, worry free.

I have been in the Real Estate Industry for over 51 years. I have probably done over 2,000 escrows. Tim Allen and his team are as professional as it gets. Mark Lord was very helpful in answering all my questions and getting the answers to the questions that he didn’t know. Some of my questions are pretty random. Brenna Gardner was probably the best escrow coordinator that I have ever worked with. Tim stepped in to tie everything together. I would highly recommend using the Allen Team.

Tim Allen and his TEAM of professionals have done a fantastic job selling our home in Carmel that has been in the family for 75 years. His knowledge of the market, the neighborhood, and his ability to price and sell it quickly was amazing! Through every step of the process, we were able to immediately reach Tim or one of his associates to answer questions or help with any issues. His TEAM handled all the details. Hats off to Marie for her extra help in arranging the house clean out and donations to a local charity. Thank you Tim and TEAM!!!

Tim, Mark, Brenna, Billy and team are highly professional. They conducted a market survey and presented us with both a marketing plan, as well as the analysis for the suggested list price for the property. They executed the plan well. This included the proper photography, specialized signage, and other collateral material. They were super responsive, personable and great to work with. We received many offers through this process. The team was not the least bit pushy at any juncture. They shared their viewpoints on the pros and cons of each offer and answered questions. We are pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Tim, Mark, Billy, Brenna and the team.

Tim, Jonathan, Brenna, and Team, Our hearts feel full and are running over with joy and pure excitement. This has truly been a journey for us and to have Tim and his team as our guiding lights, has restored our faith in every way possible......there are Angels that walk amongst us. You will never know how much each of you are appreciated, admired, respected, and above all cherished as your professional abilities shine as the brightest stars in the sky. We hope our journey doesn’t end here, but is just beginning with a true friendship to last a lifetime. When we get settled I will be reaching out for you all to join us for a yummy Texas meal. I will be dropping off some homemade Texas cookies next week.

Tim Allen Properties successfully sold my mother’s long time Pebble Beach home during the pandemic. While all of their normal practices had to be reimagined, they quickly adjusted and actually made things easier for their clients. Even document signing was simple and straight forward. Their special marketing of the property was also exactly what was needed to bring in the right buyer during this unprecedented time. Tim and his entire hard-working team had my best interest in mind from start to finish which I truly appreciated.

We can't thank Tim Allen and his Team enough for their professionalism, integrity and enthusiasm in marketing our home for sale! Our home was only on the market for two days and in that time we received a record number of qualified offers. The marketing of our home, complete with professional pictures and a beautiful virtual tour, allowed a large number of prospective buyers view our home that may not have seen it otherwise. The entire process was painless and without drama from start to finish. We highly recommend Tim Allen and his Team, they are simply the best!

My experience with Tim Allen Properties was everything you would ask for in a real estate purchase. I have purchased several homes over the years and therefore I can tell when a company is first rate. This crew is first rate. They were honest, helpful, always quick to respond, and they kept the process moving forward after our offer was accepted. They are also delightful people to work with. They are familiar with the excellent inspectors/contractors and were able to get appointments in the necessary time frame. They get five stars on all levels. I highly recommend them without any reservations!

Team Allen is very thorough and professional. We had an excellent experience with his entire team. Every detail was attended to and we could not been happier.

Our listing represented but a fraction of the average listing at Tim Allen. No matter, throughout the process we were made to feel that our house was the most important listing they had. Everyone on the entire team worked round the clock to find not just A buyer but the RIGHT buyer. And it is a "team". Coordinated, in step, seamless, and never faltering. What a great group to work with. Thanks for a great selling experience.

What a great team! Tim and his team did an excellent job for us through all phases of our search, negotiations and purchase of a new home. I would highly recommend Tim.

Advice, helpful, honest, and in the end, correct. Photography and video efforts were superb - beyond expectations. Visitation sales were well-coordinated and effective. Closing efforts were handled smoothly from beginning to end. Overall, insightful, creative, effective, and thorough.

Tim and his office were great, very knowledgeable and professional. He has a very complete understanding of the market and particularly Pebble Beach. I would recommend the Tim Allen Team to any interested party.

I can't recommend Tim Allen highly enough! He and his colleagues went above and beyond the call of duty to help sell my house, and they were a pleasure to work with: courteous, efficient, extremely quick to respond to any questions, and very professional. They are the best!

Tim and Team are very knowledgeable, responsive and a pleasure to work with and have successfully helped me multiple times both as a buyer and as a seller.

We listed our home with Tim Allen in 2019 and we cannot say enough great things about his service as well as his entire team. They took care of our listing and sale with the utmost professionalism from beginning to end. No detail was overlooked. Tim and his team are extremely knowledgeable with the market and I highly recommend his services.

Working with Tim Allen and his team made the arduous task of listing and selling our home of 28 years, a positive experience. They were never too busy to help us. As much as we pestered them with questions, they still returned our calls promptly and offered their professional advice. We were very pleased with their online presentation and media placement. We highly recommend Tim for all of your real estate needs.

Tim and his team are concierge service at the highest level! Through and through Tim offers the best representation I have ever experienced. Tim's knowledge of real estate trends, connections, and his reputation are unparalleled. Post closing, Tim and his team were available and attentive to our needs. Most importantly, they are kind and respectful. If you are buying or selling, Tim is YOUR ONLY choice on the Peninsula.

While I haven’t done a transaction with Tim Allen, it is just a matter of time. I call on him frequently, as he has a very well-thought-out sense for the Carmel and surrounding areas real estate markets. He studies them daily. I have seen his presentations. They are professionally-done and very thorough. I believe he has lifetime sales of $ 2 billion , which has to make him the largest producer or at least at or near the top of producers in the Carmel vicinity. I have found him to be very responsive to phone calls and requests for appointments. Tim is in a category of three real estate brokers who I would recommend to friends and family , because of his expertise, honesty, very thorough knowledge the market and negotiating skills.

We have listed 3 higher end homes and sold 2 using Tim's Coldwell Banker team. We have always enjoyed working with Tim directly but also all of his team members who share responsibility for taking care of our needs. Tim is always accessible when we need him. The third house is listed now and is being shown to qualified buyers. We feel confident that Tim will find the right person for the beautiful home.

The team at Tim Allen was a pleasure to work with. Their knowledge of the Pebble Beach/Pacific Grove area is extensive and invaluable, they can answer any question you can come up with about those markets. When contacted, they respond quickly and professionally. We spent many months searching for our home, and they were patient and encouraging during the long process. The team was always ready to go with a new search, and when we did finally purchase our home, they were always right on top of everything throughout escrow and after. Tim Allen's team is flexible, professional, thorough, and a great asset to anyone purchasing a home on the Monterey peninsula.

Tim Allen and his associates provided outstanding service. They found multiple houses for us to visit that met our requirements. We were out of town buyers and everyone was always were well prepared when we visited to show us possible homes, & communicated with us regularly when we were not in town. Tim advised us on issues relate to price and negotiated the sale. We found our home and closed with no problems . I would choose Tim to sell my home if I sold in the future.

Outstanding follow up on prospective buyers and particularly the work of Jonathan Balog in bringing a qualified buyer and Jonathan’s follow up work after the sale and in the purchase of a new home, along with Tim Allen.

We enjoyed working with Tim and his team. They showed a great deal of competence and the ability to listen to us. They are the go-to recommendation for all things in the Monterey Peninsula.

We bought a Carmel Home and sold a Carmel Cottage through Tim Allen. We were very satisfied with the overall experience and glad we went to him. He provided us the necessary personal support when needed but importantly has assembled and outstanding team to help make a necessarily complex and emotional task as seamless as possible.

Have done several transactions w Tim....5 or more...excellent knowledge and execution...I would do more in the future.. he's helped me buy, evaluate and sell various Carmel properties.

Tim and his team helped us find and purchase our dream vacation home in Carmel Valley. I cannot recommend Tim highly enough. Born and raised in the area, I can't imagine there is another agent or team that knows the market better.

The team at Tim Allen Properties was fabulous to work with- responsive, professional, & friendly! We were very satisfied with the communication and personal attention given during our recent home purchase.

Jonathan was a delight and very professional to work with. He not only understood our concerns and needs and was very quick to respond but he also listened to what we were looking for and did not try to hard sell us on anything. I would ask for and suggest his services again.

Tim has represented me in buying and selling residential homes in Carmel, California. From 2011 to 2017, he has listed or sold 8 separate transactions. I would highly recommend Tim to assist buyers and sellers in the market.

Tim is without a doubt one of the most talented and respected luxury real estate professionals in the industry. Year after year, he ranks among the top agents - not just on the Monterey Peninsula, but around the world. We’re very fortunate to have him on the Coldwell Banker team.

You guys are light years ahead of our ex-realtors.

Thank you for being so helpful in selling our house in these very challenging times. You certainly lived up to your reputation…

You're awesome and your team is the best, I have always known this but now I know it first hand, thank you… I'll be using you to help sell my moms house when the time comes…

Tim is an amazing Carmel expert—he knows everyone and every property. He has amazing resources, and will get the deal done!

And, the MOST amazing thing is, he has an INCREDIBLE team. From customer facing folks like Jonathan Balog -- who’s a great agent and gentleman -- to his backoffice transaction team, they are flawless, hardworking, and professional. You can’t go wrong by choosing Tim and team.
