Testimonials
---"Tim has been our realtor in St. Louis since our first house purchase on Miami street in 1999. Since, we have purchased and sold two other properties with Tim as our agent. Tim’s knowledge and expertise on buying/selling homes is extensive. He is an excellent communicator and takes time to explain all the goings on when purchasing/selling a property. Always available and helpful. He went the extra mile for us this last time as we had moved to California before our home sold in St. Louis. He made a very stressful situation easy to deal with being so far away. We would definitely recommend Tim to anyone looking for real estate needs. Thanks Tim, very much!” J & J -- 3429 Giles Ave, St Louis, MO 63116
--"Tim was wonderful to work with. guided me thru permits and pricing in my area. He helped me have a smooth and trouble free closing. Thank you again Tim.” W. Berry -- 4089 Burgen Ave, St Louis, MO 63116.
--"Finding the perfect home is never a simple task, but Tim makes the process enjoyable and stress-free! I’ve worked with Tim as both a buyer and a seller over the years. Tim helped me find and purchase my first STL home in 2006, helped me sell that home in 2019, and worked tirelessly on my latest home purchase in 2021. I really appreciate Tim’s hands-on approach with everything from e-signing documents to recommending mortgage professionals and scheduling home inspections. Tim really does go above and beyond with handling all the details of a real estate transaction. I highly recommend Tim Tanz for all your St. Louis real estate needs.” S Meidroth – 5811 S Grand Blvd, St Louis, MO 63111.
--"When we were looking for a realtor to sell our home and assist with the purchase of a new home, I reached out to several different realtors online. I found Tim through his website and read through the fantastic testimonials of past clients. After reaching out to multiple realtors, Tim was the only one who reached out to me personally (and very quickly) and other realtors had personal assistants send a text or generic email to get more information. Tim's approach is very personal and I had trust through the whole process that he would always be available for any questions or concerns we had along the way. After seeing how the other realtors had a hands-off approach, he was an easy choice to go with. He had wonderful connections in the industry that allowed us to have a smooth inspection and lending process. He made sure we had every piece of info we'd need for the transition into our new house - utility account set ups for our new neighborhood, every important sale document was scanned and emailed to us, he scheduled all inspections, he made everything so easy. When we sold our house, he held open houses and knew how to sell the unique features of our charming south city home, and it was quickly under contract. Tim could not have been more pleasant to work with. He was proactive every step of the way and we would recommend him to anyone we know who's looking to move. He is a fantastic realtor and a great person. Highly recommend!” J & S Travetto – 2103 Asher Cir, St Peters, MO 63376.
--"Tim helped us purchase our home back in 2010 and most recently helped us sell it in 2021. He was fantastic to work with. Helped us determine what improvements to make, walked us through every step of the process, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The whole process was so easy with his expertise.” D. Ozment – 2727 Rutger St, St Louis, MO 63104.
--"Tim made this process as easy as one could imagine. From identifying houses based on my preferences, to lining up a trustworthy mortgage and title company, to inspections, to being flexible with appointments, working with Tim was a breeze. He was unfailingly honest and open throughout the process with an open line of communication, making him easy to trust. I couldn't imagine a better person to work with! D. Harawa – 2861 Missouri Ave, St Louis, MO 63118.
--“Tim made the process of selling my home a breeze. He was a great communicator and listened to my needs, and he was very helpful in getting all the information I needed to ensure the closing as painlessly. We were able to get above the asking price. I would suggest Tim to all my friends and family.” B. Culkin – 5950 Loblolly Ct, St Louis, MO 63128.
--"Tim Tanz SOLD our home in 6 DAYS!!!!! You read that right! Tim Tanz sold our house in 6 days!! Our home was very quirky and not in the best area and he managed to sell it in 6 days! Tim is top notch! He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, honest and truly cares about his clients. He not only sold our home he helped us find our dream home! Tim goes above and beyond for his clients and walks you through the entire process with love and care.” J & J Windler, 3225 Dakota St, St Louis, MO 63111.
--"I’ve personally known Tim for over 15 years. I started my house hunt over 7 years ago and all along the way Tim was there without question or hesitation. He walked me through the paperwork and we traded advice on houses I looked at. This year I put in offers on 5 different houses and Tim was amazing. His honesty and insightful opinions helped us find the right house for me. He got me set up with a lender and mortgage team that made it seamless. Because of Tim I was able to reach a goal of mine and celebrated my 40th birthday in my first home! Can’t say enough positive things about Tim. Choose him and you won’t just be “ sold “ a house. You’ll have a true friend helping you find the right home for you.” T. Murphey – 216 Walworth Dr, St Louis, MO 63125.
--"Tim assisted us in relocating to St. Louis from Portland, Oregon. It turned out to be more challenging than expected making such a big move and we couldn’t have done it without Tim. Tim was knowledgeable about the many different areas of town and had so much expertise in the unique differences in purchasing a home here from purchasing a home in Oregon. We are happy with our home, love the area, and owe a big THANK YOU to Tim.” D. Rough – 2628 Walton Rd, St Louis, MO 63114.
---We trusted Tim so well that we purchased a home through him simply by doing FaceTime with him at an open house. We lived in a different State and couldn't make it in time to a home that was having multiple offers and Tim made sure to put us first, thus guaranteeing our chance to make the successful bid that landed us our dream home! C. Haven -- 1201 Dunston Dr, Saint Louis, MO 63146
---We have purchased 2 homes and sold 1 home with Tim as our agent. If we have the opportunity to relocate back to the St. Louis area, our first call will be to Tim. When we purchased our first home through Tim, we didn't know anyone or very much about the St. Louis area. Tim took the time to show us many different areas which was very helpful in making our decision. He was very professional, detailed and walked us through the entire process. He made sure all the little details were taken care of. Tim has integrity and will tell you the truth about the market or about your home, even if you don't want to hear it. When we purchased and later sold our 2nd home, we didn't think twice about calling Tim. In my opinion, this one act put Tim way above the rest. During the sale of our last home, we had an issue with our moving company (basically they didn't show up the first day), so we had only one day to get our stuff out of the house and clean it up for the new owners. Tim came over and helped us with patching nail holes and cleaning. Not every agent would do that to help out their client. G. Allswede – 3476 Covington Parkway.
I have sold four homes over my lifetime. Tim helped me sell my last home and his work made it easily the smoothest sale I've had. We listed it a bit early in March, but I had a full price offer about six weeks later. He helped arrange the inevitable small repairs/ changes prompted by the buyer's inspection, helped clean up some last minute stuff, and dealt with my angst more times than I'd like to admit. I would recommend Tim to anyone selling their home. He knows the market, is great at helping advertise the home, and coordinates his work with the buyers' agent to make sure that nothing is left to chance. S. Kluth - 5149 Oakfire Dr.
Tim is very knowledge about the different areas in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and St. Charles County. We couldn't have found a better agent to help us with finding our perfect forever home. We had very specific wants and needs with this home. Tim listened to us and helped us find homes to tour. He also offered great insight while looking for a home. He pointed thing out to us that we would not have considered. Such as having high ceilings verses vaulted. The added heating and cooling expense.
Tim always kept us informed along the way. Anytime I had a question he responded very quickly. Tim is considerate and personable. We feel you couldn't find a better agent to handle your real estate needs. Leslie M - 115 Bobcat Ct.
We had bought a house before, but never sold one. The experience is very different. We contacted Tim Tanz to represent us based on a friend’s recommendation. I am glad we did.
Tim Tanz is an excellent realtor. He helped us with every step along the way in selling our house. He offered his opinions, but always listened to our needs and concerns. He relied on years of experience to guide the process, but he always had data to back up his suggestions. He did little, thoughtful things such as bringing us lunch on our moving day. He also did big, helpful things like meeting the inspector at the house after we moved to a different state. Tim was always kind, considerate, and always very professional. We wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in search of a realtor. A. Holliday - 7100 Hollymont Dr.
---Dear Tim,
Just a note to thank you again for all your time, hard work and attention to detail you put forth to accomplish the sale of 25 Cardigan Drive. You certainly went above and beyond the call of duty. We appreciate all your efforts. We wish you the best in your career and good fortune with your new listings.
Ken & Betty E. – 25 Cardigan Drive
---For many, trying to sell a home out of state would be quite challenging. Tim Tanz is someone who can be trusted to get the job done. He really wen above and beyond to help us handle business remotely. We had repairs and other special requests that Tim was able to coordinate locally on our behalf. He worked diligently to get our house listed & sold in a timely manner. It was truly a pleasure working with him.
Trudy S. – 5604 Oleatha Ave.
---Tim Tanz is an excellent real estate agent, and I would recommend him to anyone! We were referred to him by a friend who was impressed by the way he handled the sale of their home. He did not fail to impress us either.
Tim sold two homes for us in the course of two years. We owned both a primary residence and a rental property, and because of a possible relocation in the future, we decided to sell our primary residence first, and the rental property a year later. Despite a tough economy and tough markets for both houses, Tim was able to get us the prices we needed for both homes.
Our primary residence had a contract in less than a month of listing, thanks to Tim’s persistence with a couple who had shown interest in the property. He went above and beyond to contact their agent with comps in the area and to encourage them to make an offer. He made the entire process, from start to finish, very painless.
A year later, we listed our other home once again using Tim’s services. I an even tougher market, we had a contract within one week of listing our house, for the asking price!
Tim does an excellent job with all aspects of selling a home – from taking great pictures, to giving sound advice about staging and repairs, and pricing the home right from the start. With the second house our closing was done out of state, and it went more smoothly than we could have ever imagined.
We are so grateful that we had Tim to sell our homes for us!
Justin & Sherry L. – 4136 Shenandoah Ave., 7330 Lansdowne Ave., 3824 Juniata St.
---Tim,
You did an amazing job with our Grandmother's home. I can't tell you what a godsend and a relief you were. One could only imagine what would have happened had we waited to find you any longer.
J Wirth – Oleatha Ave.
---Thank you for all your help on the sale of my Mom’s four family flat. For a month prior to listing with Tim, we tried to sell the flat on our own. We listed it on Zillow and Craigslist. We held open houses on four consecutive Sundays, but no one came by. I interviewed others trying to sell without an agent, and their stories did not leave me confident. We signed with Tim, and his marketing plan was so complete that in less than a week we had an offer. I tell anyone who is selling or buying to give Tim a call.
Dr. Dan L. – 3841 Potomac St.
---THANK YOU!!! I don’t know what we would have done without you! It is scary to think of how close we were to being in a really bad situation. You did an amazing job…of marketing the house…keeping us calm…and getting’ ‘er done! You are a great agnet and friend!! I am writing a letter of recommendation for your file and feel free to list us if any potential clients want a reference.
James and Stepanie F. – 4208 Cleveland Ave.
---Hi Tim,
Thanks for getting everything arranged with the inspections and repairs while we were out of town! I still can't believe it all happened in time given the title company issues and our crazy schedules. I'll be letting my other friends in St Louis know about you if they plan to sell. If you ever get tired of St Louis, Vermont is a great place! I am still trying to get used to the idea of people not stealing my stuff though, Thanks.
Dr. Sam M. – 4046 Utah St.
---We would recommend Tim Tanz with great enthusiasm to potential home sellers in the St Louis area. We put our St. Louis Hills home on the market during the summer of 2006. On a street with highly similar homes, several were for sale at the same time, making us quite nervous about the process. In the end, our home sold in two weeks at a price that we were very happy with.
Tim was very professional, courteous, and prompt. We heard from him often, and he was very accessible when we had our own questions. He was very forthcoming and gave sound advice when it came time to decide on a listing price, make decisions about how to best show the house, and make contract negotiations. However, he was never pushy and always listened to our opinions and desires. Tim’s work ethic was impressive; he always made us feel that selling our home was a top priority for him. He met with us quickly and made sure the listing, photos, and video tours were online in a timely manner. He gave us prompt feedback after each showing. He worked hard in using numerous outlets to market our home. Along with being an effective professional, however, Tim is an enjoyable person to be around and work with. The selling process is a bit less painful when you have someone honest and genuine by your side. (And his good sense of humor didn’t hurt either.)
We are very grateful for Tim’s services and would definitely call him again if we had to do it over again!
Shannon and John R. – 6952 Hillsland Ave.
---We've mentioned this to Tim, but I will repeat it; I've been involved in many real estate transactions (buyer and seller) and this really has been the easiest and smoothest by far. From the sellers doing fixes to the lender to the neighbor (fixing the survey issue) to the agents and your teams, we couldn't be happier. Thank you.
It is OFFICIAL!! We are homeowners again! The Longbow Court Manor house is ours now!! Yayyyyyyy!!!! Family and friends will always be welcome. This has truly been the easiest real estate transaction I have been involved with. Everyone from the sellers to the lender were on top of getting things done. Our biggest thanks goes out to an AMAZING, ETHICAL, INTELLIGENT, CARING AND ON THE BALL realtor, Tim Tanz. Thanks Tim!
David P. & Dr. Jose M. - 2 Longbow Ct.
---It is with great happiness and customer satisfaction that I write this letter of recommendation for my Realtor, Tim Tanz. I chose Tim because I had heard many positive remarks about his dedication to his profession and because he was a wonderful neighbor that I could trust in helping me sell my home.
Before placing the “For Sale†sign in my front yard, Tim had already prepared an in-depth presentation and evaluation of my home and price comparisons to many homes in my area to help determine a fair price. I was also given a detailed list of all services that Tim would provide in the marketing and sale of my home. Not only did Tim fulfill every detail of that list, he went beyond that list by making sure that I had a copy of every advertisement he placed in every newspaper and magazine, a copy of the hundreds of postcards he sent out showcasing my home, and constant feedback and suggestions about what would help my home sell.
There was never any pressure to make hasty decisions. Tim always gave me sound advice as if my home were his own. He also told me what all of my options were, and what the outcome of each decision yielded. With Tim, I feel I made excellent decisions that worked well with my family. He negotiated in my best interests and kept communications open with the buyers’ realtors and myself. I was secure in knowing what was going on at all times.
Tim made sure that I was taken care of. I did not have the worries and fears that I hear most people have when they are trying to sell their home. He made every transition and transaction as smooth as possible and was immediately there if something new had to be accomplished. I hope that everyone could be as fortunate as I was to find such a caring and trustworthy Realtor as Tim Tanz. Not only is he my Realtor, now, he is my good friend.
Mrs. Anglia W. – 4104 Wyoming St.
---I was incredibly pleased with the services of Tim Tanz as my Seller’s Agent. He made the experience of selling my house as painless as possible. I experienced that Tim went out of his way to make the process as effortless as possible for me the seller – this is not a minor statement because unfortunately I hit some major bumps along the process. Even though these unanticipated difficulties did not directly have anything to do with the actual real estate listing agent, I found that Tim was a great asset and strength to me during the resolution of the unexpected difficulties.
Long before I even knew if we were going to move, and thus before I committed to giving Tim the listing, he took the time to visit my house and complete a walk through to assist me in determining what needed to be done to the house prior to placing it on the market. He completed a market analysis of the area and assisted me in determining a potential selling price for the house. Once the decision was made to move out of state, Tim was able to post the listing on the house and complete numerous advertisements within a day and a half of me informing him of the decision. He took advantage of multiple marketing methods thus increasing the overall exposure of the house. He was prompt to respond to any questions and worked well around my schedule.
His market analysis and suggested list price must have been right on target, because I had two contract offers in less than two weeks of the initial posting date. The final sale price of the house was within $5,000 of the original listing price, and we had an agreed up contract within about two weeks of the first posting date. My family and I were able to move out of state, and never have to make a single double house payment. It is also important to note that I walked away with over $70,000 profit from the sale of the house.
I would highly recommend Tim as a Seller’s Agent. I found that he was professional and courteous, yet maintained the ability to be personable and genuine. It is difficult to find a person in the real estate field that is consistently genuine; yet Tim is. He is knowledgeable in his field and will give you fair and honest feedback about your house and real estate issues. I found that he went above and beyond what was “expected†of a real estate agent, and it wasn’t “just for the commission.†I honestly can’t think of a thing he left out or fell short of my expectations during the process of selling my house. He maintained constant contact with me during the process, and even after the sale was completed to ensure that all the potential loose ends were completed. Once again, I was extremely pleased with Mr. Tanz’ services and would highly recommend him to anyone considering placing their house on the market.
Dr. Beverly B.- 3834 DeTonty St.
---I was very satisfied with the service I received from you. When I first listed my home, I talked with three different Realty Companies. The first realtor was very pushy. The second realtor did not make any impression on me.
I was impressed with the way you presented yourself, the paperwork you prepared for me, and I also liked the picture of my house that was used on the flyer. You walked through my home and made suggestions to me that might make my home sell faster.
After I signed with you, we were both in agreement not to go with the FHA loan because of the age of my home. You recommended what you thought should be the asking price, and I did not think I would get that much, but my children were in agreement with you.
You gave me a list of all the phone numbers necessary for me to contact. That was very helpful.
When we did close, there was a slight mix-up, and you made two trips to my work so that I could sign some papers and not have to leave work.
I would definitely recommend you to anyone that needs a Realtor. Thanks again for all your help.
Ms. Pat F – 4331 Neosho St.
---I was well pleased with the service you provided. Your explanations were thorough and to the point. I would say well done Tim Tanz, and thank you very much! Many, many thanks for the transportation.
Ms. Monica H. – 4108 Wyoming St.
---It is hard to come up with any negative feedback for the fantastic job you did. From your suggestions when I first contacted you, to helping me with repairs, to your sound advice. This is the third transaction between us and it will not be the last. I will give your name to all who are inquiring about real estate. Thank you again for all your hard work.
Phil S. – 3637 Alberta St.
---Thanks again for being a super help in finding a home! Looking for friendly & professional? Hit up my friend Tim Tanz if you need to buy or sell...you rocked it Mr. Tim!
Richard M. – 4039 S. Spring Ave.
---We are beyond thrilled to have found Tim. Not only is he a true professional, but a genuine delight to be around. He was impressively organized and on top of everything, and we truly felt like he would take care of our best interests throughout the process of buying our first home. He maintained an excellent balance of deferring to our opinion and preferences, but providing a fair and balanced opinion when we needed it! We often solicited his advice and were so glad to have a trusted source to suggest mortgage lenders, local vendors, next steps, etc. Tim is a sincerely kind and competent realtor who we would wholeheartedly refer to anyone.
Kyle & Emma K. – 4053 Shenandoah Ave.
---Tim,
Just wanted to send you a note of thank you for helping me along the way with the purchase. I have gotten moved in, had a couple friends over for New Years from Indiana. I enjoy the home and living on my own. Thanks.
B. Johanan – 4441 Grace Ave.
---Tim,
Just wanted to thank you again for finding me a great place downtown!
And thanks for that 10% coupon at Lowe's, that really came in handy. Took a big bite out of the new washer & dryer for me.
I'm especially thankful for your efforts through all that was going on in your personal life. Your professionalism and flexibility through it all, and your positive and fun outlook through all the challenges we faced in the process really were key to making this happen for me and are a testament to your character--you deserve, and will receive, better.
Next person moving back to St Louis (there is one headed back in about a year) will get your name as the only agent they need to know. Thanks again,
John F. - 1123 Washington Ave.
