Testimonials

Claire was wonderful to work with! She is professional and friendly, explained everything, and genuinely cared about helping me find my fantastic new home.

Mike’s professional approach and understanding of the North Beach/Telegraph Hill neighborhood was impressive from the outset. He helped manage the process of preparing our property for listing by helping source, schedule and meet several vendors at the property making the sales process much easier for us. We definitely recommend Mike to anyone thinking of listing their property in San Francisco.

Buyers and sellers in real estate want to know their best interest is at hand. They want a hard-working, honest agent that has the experience and a wealth of knowledge in the industry. Tim Farrell is that guy. He is an exceptional agent who builds long-lasting relationships with his clients. Tim comes highly recommended, is a man of great integrity, and is one to be trusted.

Tim and Claire were such a pleasure to work with. We reached out to Tim well in advance of when we planned to sell, and he gave us some great suggestions to help improve the marketability of our place. His advice on when to sell was spot-on as well. After we left our place, Tim and Claire made the remainder of the process seamless, helping out with touch-ups, cleaning, staging, etc. We leaned heavily on Tim for advice throughout the sale and listing process, and he gladly provided his perspective. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Tim to any prospective buyers or sellers looking for a smooth real estate transaction.

Purchasing my first home was a daunting task and a significant investment. However, Mike’s guidance, knowledge, and patience helped me navigate the process successfully and with little stress. From start to finish, I knew that he always had my best interest in mind. I plan to use him again and I would highly recommend him, especially to first time buyers.

You did an amazing job for us, especially since we were out of town and you handled everything.

Working with Tim was a pleasure! He was attentive to our needs, enthusiastic about our search, and knowledgeable about the San Francisco real estate market. Tim searched the extensive inventory and presented us with multiple options that met our likes, needs, and budget. His demeanor put us at ease and his honesty allowed us to make informed decisions. Tim is still a resource for us today and we will work with him again.

Now that the whirlwind of getting the house has settled, I want to take the time to say thank you for all that you did to help me purchase my first home. You were so kind and generous with your time, explaining what needed to happen and keeping me updated on everything. Your flexibility with all of our asks (and then getting us into this true fixer-upper which I love) was awesome. I also appreciate how straightforward and honest you were about what we could expect from the SF housing market and how much you knew about probate properties. You made things make sense and working with you was so easy. I feel so fortunate to have worked with you and I can't thank you enough. As soon as we get the place tetanus free, you and Claire will be cordially invited to drinks on the new(ly found) patio outback.

Mike Hood did a great job for us in our recent purchase of a house in San Francisco. We were initially interested in a duplex but opted for a Single Family Home and he spent a good deal of time showing us both kinds of properties. Mike is very knowledgeable of the market and an excellent negotiator. He got us a very good deal. My wife and I have worked with several agents in the past and Mike Hood was by far the best. Highly recommended.

Once again Tim, thank you for making 3 deals work for us. Collingwood, Green, and Polk. Your professionalism and your personal attention to detail on these three properties made it all possible for us. Again, we wish to sincerely thank you.

We had the pleasure of working with Mike recently while selling our house in Mission, San Francisco. We were amazed at how smoothly and accurately the entire process was managed by Mike. He helped advise us where and what to invest in in order to maximize selling price, he oversaw the process of painting, fixing and staging the house. He gave us a timeline and kept to it all along and in addition to being incredibly professional, he was a pleasure to work with, always relaxed, available and to the point. Deciding who to go with when selling your house isn’t an easy decision, there are many unknowns and choosing the right person can transalte to a lot of money, we feel like we made the best decision going with Mike and Compass.

Working with Tim was such a Pleasure. He truly puts his client's interest first. I wholeheartedly feel that I have found my dream home and would not have done it without Tim's passion and hard work. He was always available and no question was ever overlooked. Making the biggest purchase of my life felt right because we had Tim on our side!

Mike absolutely knows his job and the market. In the uncertain market of Fall 2009, he boldly named a selling price, prepared my condo for listing, worked hard, and got exactly what he said – a sale price that was 5% higher than estimates from 2 other brokers. Plus, he did almost all of this, including the coordination of minor repairs and renovations, while I was thousands of miles away.

Dear Tim, Shehadeh Properties wanted to take a moment and thank you for your professionalism, your kind manners, and your care in handling all of our property needs. You take a personal interest in what we are looking for and save us both time and money by not showing us properties not suited to our needs. Unlike other real estate agents we have worked with, you take the time to research and pinpoint specific real estate. Once again Tim, thank you for making 3 deals work for us. Collingwood, Green, and Polk. Your professionalism and your personal attention to detail on these three properties made it all possible for us. Again, we wish to sincerely thank you. Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful. Claire was a pleasure to work with, on what was a complicated deal. She guided us through the process seamlessly and we we're very happy she was on our team. Highly recommended.

Tim is a well-rounded and knowledgeable professional. He knows the SF market cold and his connections throughout the Bay Area bring additional helpful insight. He's positive, outgoing and someone you want to spend time with. Tim worked creatively and tirelessly, through the early months of the pandemic, to sell our Cole Valley condo for a good outcome given the circumstances he's not your typical SF real estate professional that only knows how to sell in a "hot" market. My wife and I would highly recommend Tim.

Mike Hood helped us find a wonderful house. He was patient and listened carefully to our needs. He understands how Real Estate transactions work and gets things done in a timely basis. I strongly recommend using Mike, as he has the experience and knowledge to guide someone through the home buying process.

Tim is an amazing agent and was great throughout our process. We met him two years before we purchased our place and he patiently worked with us the whole time, sending us information and educating us on the market, never applying any pressure whatsoever. Tim then found us our place off-market through his extensive broker network. When we finally were ready to move, he worked tirelessly to get us to the finish line. He was patient throughout the whole process and his knowledge and expertise were invaluable, as we made the most important financial decision of our lives. I’d recommend him without reservations.

Tim is a rock star. He couldn't have made our real estate transactions any easier. He reads the market perfectly, is super responsive, takes care of all the logistics, coordinates a great support team, and moves lightning fast. We love working with Tim he gets it done!

There is a reason why Tim is our go-to agent. He has expert knowledge of the real estate market. He has an extensive network. He takes the burdens off us while getting exceptional results. Most importantly, however, he truly cares. He was able to negotiate a great deal us when we purchased our home. When it came time to sell just a few years later, he utilized his network to sell our home double what we paid it. We would recommend Tim to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. He's our guy!

We found Tim Farrell after being dissatisfied with working with several other sales or motivated real estate agents. Tim immediately stood out to us as having extensive knowledge of the ultra-competitive San Francisco real estate market, with the perfect balance of being extremely personable while also knowing exactly what needed to get done and when to stay ahead of the competition. In a market with dozens of competing offers, Tim knew how to make our offers the most attractive and mutually beneficial all parties involved. With Tim's help, we have purchased and sold one investment property in the last 5 years (he got us the place 3 days after we met) and with that sale a few years later, we were able to purchase our dream home at an amazing value. We highly recommend Tim Farrell to anyone who is looking to successfully purchase a home in or around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with on our property search and purchase. He listened to our needs, showed us relevant properties that met our criteria, and provided helpful industry perspectives on our points of consideration. He streamlined the purchase process and was incredibly responsive and proactive in helping to schedule all requested inspections and guide us through the stages of the purchase process to close. I would definitely work with him again in the future. Thank you, Tim!
