About Tim
Tim will be the first to admit his good
fortune of having his personal passion be the foundation of his professional
life. With more than thirty years of
experience and skill in negotiating multi-million dollar contracts in construction
and commercial real estate, Tim has acquired a veritable wealth of knowledge
and a library of resources.
Currently,
he is working on his first book which shares what he has learned relative to
the often uncommon and sometimes bizarre obstacles to closing a deal. Through it all, he has maintained a
tremendous zest for life, a great sense of humor, a contagious energy and an
optimistic spirit.
Tim thrives on challenges, especially difficult ones. One conversation with him and you will see
why he stands apart as a respected professional and authentic human being. Tim is the kind of guy who truly likes people,
is comfortable in any social setting and has a sincere desire to know and help
a person.
Born into an extraordinarily large family well-known in the San Francisco Bay Area
commercial construction industry; Tim is one of 54 grandchildren. In
fact, his inexhaustible and rather infamous grandfather, Walter Thompson, was a
life-long mentor who coached Tim on complex business matters, his choice of
cars and his golf game, which they played together until Walt’s death at 97.
Educated at The University of California at
Davis, with a degree in Sociology, Tim has a highly developed ability to listen
to and talk with people. His approachability, enthusiasm, knowledge and
experience have resulted in a consistent record of repeat clients.
Tim is passionate about learning. His reading chair is currently surrounded by
books on nutrition and health. He is on
a mission to increase awareness about the astounding healing power of food, particularly as it relates to heart disease, diabetes and cancer. His zealous study on the subject has earned him the nickname 'Brother Broccoli.'
When you meet Tim for the first time, don't be surprised if he gives you the book that changed his life, THE CHINA STUDY by American biochemist T. Colin Campbell, the Jacob Gould Schuman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University.
In 1999, Tim chose adventure by moving to Key
West, Florida. He recognized the
potential for expanding his range of business relationships while living in a
tropical paradise.
Tim has been instrumental in dozens of successful real
estate transactions. Clients benefit from his commitment to integrity,
high energy level, personal attention and professional advice. Tim is
committed to making sure every detail of every sale goes as smoothly as
possible, whether a complex multi-party transaction or a broken lock that must
be fixed before closing.
Respected and relied upon by Buyers, Sellers and
their Agents, Tim takes his profession to the highest levels of quality service.
He combines impeccable judgment with in-depth knowledge of the real
estate and financial markets in Florida and California.
Tim possesses
unflappable tenacity and perseverance. He understands the often unique needs of high-end Buyers and Sellers and is known for his ability to negotiate
through the most complex and difficult transaction.
Confidentiality and discretion are assured.
Tim has a gift for matching remarkable properties with remarkable people.
Tim's business philosophy is based on the belief
that his client's needs are of the utmost importance.
Tim is committed to meeting those needs.
As a result, a high percentage of his business is
from repeat clients and referrals.
Tim looks forward to the opportunity of earning your respect and trust
as he brings your commercial real estate transaction to a successful close.
