When people ask me where I am from, I am never quite sure how to answer. Although I have spent the past 20 years in Texas, I actually grew up in Memphis, and I have lived in Jackson, San Diego, Houston, Austin, Hong Kong, and Singapore. My wife and I have traveled the world, but after almost 4 years in Austin, we consider this our home.

When people ask me where I am from, I am never quite sure how to answer. Although I have spent the past 20 years in Texas, I actually grew up in Memphis, and I have lived in Jackson, San Diego, Houston, Austin, Hong Kong, and Singapore. My wife and I have traveled the world, but after almost 4 years in Austin, we consider this our home. I bought my first house in Texas in 1991, and have been investing in Real Estate, and helping others with Real Estate needs since. Before college, I had the opportunity to work on several construction sites, where I learned first-hand how to build a quality home. I like to believe that this experience was the foundation for my understanding of new home construction and helping buyers look at every aspect of their new home purchase. Today, I specialize in representing Buyers in their new home and resale purchases (upscale homes with magnificent Austin views, expanding family home buyers, and first time home buyers), and representing Sellers who want the best possible coaching on how to ready their home to be placed on the market--using professional staging techniques to help potential buyers feel right at home when they walk in the door of your home.
My wife and I love Austin. We are close enough to the mountains to catch a quick flight and go skiing, close enough to Mexico to go SCUBA diving, and we are surrounded by some of the most beautiful golf courses in Central Texas! Throw in a little Austin music, the Texas hill country and the beautiful Austin lakes, and you end up with the place we love to call our home.

"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." - L. Gagliardi
