Being a Realtor is tantamount to being a "business contortionist". One must be ready to bend, twist, wiggle and creatively work out how each client's best interest is met in every deal and for every home. Whether representing the buyer or representing the seller, a good Realtor must know so much more than Austin's best communities, best homes and best Real Estate deals.

Being a Realtor is tantamount to being a "business contortionist". One must be ready to bend, twist, wiggle and creatively work out how each client's best interest is met in every deal and for every home. Whether representing the buyer or representing the seller, a good Realtor must know so much more than Austin's best communities, best homes and best Real Estate deals. Being an experienced business person, a community expert, and a honest communicator, I believe are the reasons why my clients enjoy working with me and recommend me to their friends and family.
My wife and I have traveled the world, and lived all over the USA and in parts of Asia. We seldom meet a stranger, and always enjoy getting to know new friends. We would love to add you to our list of friends, and I would love to help you find the home that will make you and your family "at home" in Greater Austin - North or South, Golf course community or Lake side, Downtown condo or Luxury Craftsman homes on the West side... or just a simple Bungalow in Central Austin. Let me help you find the right community, the right home, and the right opportunity for you to love your new home in Austin. Collapse

What Clients are Saying about Tim
|
| |
"As we searched online for homes, we happened to "save" homes via ZipRealty and Tim Thornton. After many, many virtual home searches, Tim contacted us via email and asked if we were looking to buy in Austin.
Living in Los Angeles, CA, we knew very little to nothing about living in Austin, TX, but the city looked appealing to us.
From our first telephone conversation with Tim, we knew we were in good professional hands. He knew Austin, he knew the housing market, the schools, and he knew how to work with out of state clients.
Between August 2009 and December 2009, my husband and I visited Austin several times to look at residential areas and specific homes. Tim made himself available to us each visit, with patience and professionalism.
As we decided on a brand new home from a renowned builder, Tim did all the negotiations on our behalf. Essentially he said a price that we were comfortable with, and the builder agreed. This was a pretty painless process for us.
While we were not his only clients, Tim made us feel like we were.
Tim's online blog is also a wonderful resource of information about Austin and the real estate market! We continue to read it even after we've purchased and moved into our home!
We highly recommend Tim Thornton as a real estate professional." - Jenny and John R.

He works hard for you and will answer every question you have in a professional and friendly manner. He is up front and honest, and will tell you reality not fantasy when it comes to buying/selling your home. I highly recommend Tim as an agent and will recommend him to all my friends/colleagues in the Austin area." - Seller

"Tim was a huge help in buying my home! He provided all the advice I asked for and more knowing I was a novice in buying a home.

I would always recommend Tim as a listing or buyer's agent." - Seller
|

In future (god forbid if we have to sell)we will definitely work with him." - Buyer
|
| |

"I had two different buyer's agents tell me directly that Tim was doing an unusually good job representing me as they pointed out that he consistently called the buyer's agents for follow-up and immediately called them back to answer any questions they had. They said that it is rare to see such responsiveness and pro-activeness in the industry." - Lou Gagliardi

We would highly recommend Tim to any friends who might be following us to Austin as their new home!!" - Jenny Rosas

"Mr. Thornton was a pleasure to work with. He responded to every phone call and/or email, almost within minutes. Had an intelligent response for everything we queried about, was incredibly diligent with respect to every detail of our home purchase, from questioning the inspection report, commenting on potential problems, resolving issues as they arose (and unfortunately, too many issues arose), and making us feel completely comfortable and at ease with his expertise and professionalism. In addition to doing his job as a Realtor, Tim proved to be a great person to be around. We would recommend Tim to anyone we knew who was interested in either purchasing or selling a home. He is an asset to Zip Realty." - John E. & Cirlei E.

"As a Real Estate Investor, I had been successful buying and selling properties without the use of an agent, however, on my most recent transaction I called on Tim Thornton from ZipRealty. Tim took care of everything, reminded me of when I needed to take action, taught me quite a few things that I did not know about selling a house and developed a sound strategy that brought a contract on the house in 8 days and closed. Tim is the best I have seen in this industry and will use him from now on." - LG, Austin, TX - Seller

| |
"Tim was just great at getting things done when I asked. He kept me informed all the time on up dates on the house and when I asked him something and he did not know the answer he found out what the answer is right away and got back to me. He is great and I would give my friends and family his number." - Dewaine Hill

It was a pleasure working with Tim and I¿m very happy with my new house. Thank you." - Blanca Favorite
