Century 21 Tim Riley Real Estate

"Tim Riley is highly knowledgeable, professional, sincere, personable, hardworking and trustworthy. We live out-of-state and choosing Tim as our realtor was the best decision we made; Tim earned our trust and we became confident purchasing real estate from afar. He went to properties we were interested in and videoed them for us with commentary; it was as if we were there in person. When we were ready to make an offer, he quickly put the paperwork together, looked out for our best interest, and clearly answered all our questions. Tim has built a large network of professional relationships which helped tremendously in coming to contract agreements and kept the sale moving forward to a successful close. Tim’s referrals for a lender, homeowner’s insurance agent, inspectors, property management company, etc. were outstanding to work with. Moreover, all of the referrals respect and speak highly of Tim which shows he is a person with integrity. We recommend Tim Riley wholeheartedly!"

"We have worked with Tim for about a year searching for the right home in San Luis Obispo for our family who was relocating from Lake Tahoe. Because of our distance, we were not able to physically be there for all the open houses, but that never stopped Tim from attending them for us and giving us in depth virtual tours to give us a better feel for the property. Tim will go above and beyond for his clients and make sure they are well taken care of throughout the process. Tim is also well respected in the industry so you know you’re in good hands when working with him since he has strong ties and relationships with a lot of the local agents. His knowledge and expertise in real estate and the local community greatly benefits any client who works with him and he is just an all around nice/great person to work with. We cannot recommend Tim enough and feel lucky we found him to help us purchase the perfect home for our family!"

"Tim is just great! I have purchased and sold a house with Tim. Both times he was the perfect balance of responssive and relaxed. He kept me informed and ushered the process along but let me make the decisions. Several of my friends have worked with Tim as well and everyone has been thrilled and we all refer him to others. Work with him, you will be happy you did."

"I can’t tell you how impressed I have been with Tim from start to finish! I don’t live in the area, so the thought of trying to sell a home long distance was pretty overwhelming. I reached out to Tim for help and had such a positive experience that a couple of years later I went back to him again to sell a second home. He was just as impressive on the second transaction as the first, and I couldn’t have been happier. I first contacted Tim about selling a condo that I owned in the 5 Cities area. He answered my call personally and was kind enough to meet me at the home on a day and time that was convenient for me (since I didn’t live in the area). He came prepared with data about recent sales and was very knowledgeable about the area. He went through the home room by room and gave some suggestions on things I could do to make it more desirable to potential buyers. The night before the Open House, we were cleaning the condo like crazy when Tim pulled up with a load of décor and furnishings from his own home. He said he felt it would be more attractive to buyers with a little staging…talk about going above and beyond! Thanks to Tim, we ended up with multiple offers after that first Open House and it sold for more than our asking price. When I had to sell a second home, I again called Tim and the second transaction with him was just as smooth as the first. Even in the midst of Covid craziness, the home was in contract within 4 days of listing it and we got just over our asking price, thanks to Tim. I can’t speak highly enough of Tim and the stress-free experience he gave me. He provided quick responses to my questions, and I think the biggest compliment I can pay him is that I never at any point had to guess what was happening in the transaction; he kept me updated and informed throughout the entire process…both times. Tim is a true real estate professional, looking out for the interests of his clients, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again."

"We recently purchased a home in SLO and are so thankful someone recommended Tim Riley to us! From the start, Tim was very helpful in explaining how the process works and really held our hand through all the stressors (and mountains of paperwork!). He was personable, approachable, and made us feel very comfortable through the whole home-buying process. It felt that he truly listened to our wants and needs in a home and helped us understand the pros and cons of all our choices. He was great at negotiating and often thought to include things we hadn't even considered. Tim stuck with us through the stressful rise in interest rates and helped us figure out a negotiation that would reduce our monthly payments, and therefor make our dream home affordable for us. And to top it all off, he surprised us with a beautiful gift basket filled with local products when he dropped off our keys after close. Tim was an all around great agent and we would happily recommend him to anyone!"
