Tim McGuire, REALTOR | Tim McGuire Team Compass

Tim McGuire is an outstanding realtor who combines extensive industry knowledge, excellent communication, and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. I highly recommend Tim to anyone in need of real estate services. Working with Tim was an absolute pleasure, and we are confident he will continue to provide exceptional service to future clients.

We’ve known Tim both personally and professionally for over 10-years, so when it came time to sell our home in Pleasanton…there was no question regarding our realtor of choice. Tim and his team did not disappoint, they went above and beyond throughout the selling process. Tim responded promptly and professionally to all our questions and needs. Tim and his team simplified the selling process by providing whatever workers were needed to prep the house for sale (handyman, painters and landscapers). We moved out and gave Tim the keys. The Compass Team cleaned, staged and marketed the house to perfection. True story, we attempted to move a heavy armoire down the steps with 3-guys, then opted to leave it for the new owners. Tim himself moved it, then sent a picture with sweat on his brow as proof! We could not have had a better experience. Thanks Tim, you have our wholehearted recommendation! Donn and Mary Frizzell

Tim McGuire and team did a fantastic job getting the house prepared for sale. Tim is a great communicator and strived to keep us informed through- out the process. With a sale price that exceeded our expectations; it was through his expertise, knowledge, and professionalism that made for a very successful transaction!

Tim is a prime example of what a real estate agent should be: not a dilettante but a true professional. As a seller's agent: he actually knows the local market; he gets you maximum value; he knows how much or how little work to do on the property prior to sale; he has his own handyman and painting team to do necessary work at at amazingly reasonable cost; he has a stager who makes the property look fantastic; and he has an office staff that makes all of the paperwork easy and seamless. Tim earns his commission.

It was such a pleasure working with Tim McGuire and his entire team regarding the sale of our home. We met with him and explained our situation and from the get-go not only did he provide good advice, but he also eased our decision process with patience and understanding.

His thorough knowledge of general Real Estate and local market conditions made the process less complicated, especially in a challenging environment.

Tim is a great Realtor. He is extremely responsive and cares about his client’s needs. His outstanding job earns him our highest recommendation.

Tim and his team were so easy to work with, always available to answer questions and concerns. Tim knew exactly what we needed to do to minimally fix the house up to make it more marketable. Tim and his team scheduled the workers (handyman, painter, flooring, gardener etc) and they all got the jobs done promptly and did beautiful work!! He knew exactly where to price the house with the ever changing market, the house sold fast and we got exactly what we expected. We couldn’t have been more pleased with how smoothly the whole transition went!!

I have known and used Tim McGuire for my real estate needs for the past 10 years, and he has been my girlfriend’s family real estate agent for many years. He helped me purchase a post-divorce home in a great neighborhood, and then recently helped me sell it when I moved.

The recent real estate market with the rising interest rates and pandemic have created a very difficult-to-read market with less people willing to purchase and more buyers “looking for a good deal (discount).” Tim has adjusted well to this new paradigm and is still his ever-upbeat and cheerful self. He is part real estate agent, part psychologist, and jack-of-all trades. He can handle frantic phone calls from his buyers or text messages with calm, answer questions that sellers or buyers have and has amazing sources for handymen, roofers, electricians and painters and even movers! We almost did not have to do a thing (except write checks where necessary).

He will tell you when to paint or repair, when to adjust prices and balance offers, and can have someone open your house for tradesmen when you are unable to be there. He knows who is going in and out of your house for sale so you don’t have to worry. Tim is imperturbable.

Tim is gentle and never pushy, he will do things the way you want, but will give you sage advice acquired from many years of real estate sales. He also knows the tri-valley market very well and has an amazing team of agents and assistants working for him. There is no crisis when you are dealing with Tim, and really no reason to worry with him as your agent. I don’t think you could do better.

We had found ourselves in a very uncompromised situation and needed to sell our house. From the very start, Tim McGuire stepped in with a lot of knowledge with the local area, realtor expertise, and a sense of assurance that things would work out. Tim was able to get our house sold in addition to helping us buy what has been a "dream home". He could identify quickly our needs, budget issues, and preferences when we sought a new home to buy. Tim McGuire and his team are definitely key players you want in your corner if you are seeking real estate professionals. Thank you Tim, once again for making, not one, but two dreams happen with getting our house sold and finding us a home to buy!

I was a realtor for 32 years and owned my own company for the last twenty before I retired, so I knew what was necessary to successfully sell a home.

Tim and his team embodied the qualities I felt were needed to sell my home, including: knowledge of the market, how to prepare a home to sell, how to market it and how to manage the escrow process. In all of these matters, Tim and his team were outstanding performers. I recommend his services to anyone.

Tim Mcguire with Compass Reality was my realtor for two houses (selling one and buying one). He and his associates did a phenomenal job. They always followed up on any emails and voice mails within minutes They were always nice and supportive in helping me sell my home and went above and beyond what a realtor would do. I highly recommend Tim and his associates!

We often see Tim’s name in our neighborhood. I knew when we are ready to sell our house, he is definitely the one I will choose. I was right. It was during the pandemic, we were worried about selling our house. Tim is very knowledgeable and professional. He gave us very helpful advice to make our transition smoothly. He is very good at negotiating the price and helping us sell our house in a very short time period. Tim's team is also excellent, could not thank his team more. I will definitely recommend Tim and his team to our friends and family.

Tim and his team are amazing! They helped me both with the sale of my house in Livermore and the purchase of a home in Discovery Bay. Tim's market knowledge is second to none and together with his team they take care of all the details. House was beautifully staged, photographed, they created a website with drone footage, and took care of everything. Even in a down market my home sold quickly and for a good price.

Tim helped us purchase our first home in a neighborhood we love. We got Tim's contact information through a family friend whom Tim had helped purchase their current home. We were very impressed with Tim's local knowledge and experience in the market. Tim showed us an off market listing that we loved at first sight. He was very patient and was very attentive to our needs. He represented the sellers as well so he knew the expectations on both sides. He diligently walked us through the entire home buying process including referring us to vendors and loan providers to help us close quickly. We will love to work with Tim again. I recommend Tim & his team to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell their homes.

Tim, Karen and the whole team exceeded our expectations with their genuine Concierge Service every step of the way through the sale of our home. The stress level was much less than we anticipated and this gave us the energy to move through buying a home with peace of mind and our financial ducks in a row. We highly recommend Tim for any real estate needs.

Tim and his team is the best in Pleasanton CA. They represented us in a competitive bid with dozens of offers and they helped us end up on the top and their knowledge and advice throughout the process has been very valuable.

But, the story does not end there, once we had signed contract, the staff especially Karen were always on top of the deal. We had issues with the transfer of solar and the team went out of their way to constantly follow up and make the smooth closing.

Highly appreciate for your real estate needs!

We recently sold our home in Pleasanton Valley with the help of Tim McGuire and his team. I cannot overstate how professional and effective they were. Everything was executed exactly as planned, and they provided support and services that went well beyond what we could have reasonably expected. We interviewed three different realtors before deciding on Tim, and we are so happy with the choice we made. I can’t imagine a better experience with anyone else: we were able to get top value for our home, and the transaction was completed in a timely and frictionless manner. Tim’s knowledge of the local market is unparalleled, and his pricing and negotiating strategies resulted in multiple offers that were viable and compelling. The partnership we were able to develop with Tim and his team resulted in a wonderful outcome for all concerned, and we are very grateful to have had Tim as our guide and facilitator to navigate our way through the process.

We can't thank Tim enough for helping us get our dream home. Tim helped us buy our first home here in Pleasanton. Tim was extremely patient and worked with us and our extended family very well. He showed us an off market listing, which we fell in love with instantly. He guided through the whole process. Tim has expertise in the area and offered his valuable insights which also helped us make our decision on picking our home. He is friendly, reliable and eased off the whole hassle of buying a home for us first time home buyers. I would highly recommend Tim Mcguire to anyone looking to buy a house.

I got the opportunity to work with Tim McGuire and his team - especially his assistant, Karen Carmichael - when selling our home in Pleasanton in July 2020. We got a strong referral for Tim from our neighbor and she said no one knows Pleasanton better than Tim.

And was she right !! From the moment Tim walked into our home for the first meeting, we knew we made the right choice. And from there, it only got better. He brought in professional stagers, gave very practical and cost-effective advice on changes we should make to really enhance the value of the house and brought in all the necessary contractors to get the work done quickly. The house looked absolutely spectacular when it was ready to get onto the market.

And then two days before it was supposed to go onto the market, Tim provided the ultimate in platinum service - he told us one of his buyers came by to see the house and that they were ready to make an offer on the house !! They did, we immediately accepted and everything moved very smoothly from that point through close of escrow. Not one hitch !!

Besides Tim exceptional knowledge of the intricacies of both the real estate and escrow businesses and his vast network of contacts in the real estate eco-system, he is also very timely, professional, courteous and works with a very level of integrity. He is also exceptional and prompt at follow-through and he patiently worked through all our questions and made us feel very comfortable with the whole process.

Even to this day - months after we closed escrow - Tim responds very promptly to any questions we have and follows-up on any commits he makes. It is such a joy working with someone as thorough and committed as him.

I am thrilled we listened to our neighbor and contacted Tim. It was the easiest and smoothest real estate transaction we have had to-date. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tim McGuire and his entire team for all your real estate needs. I am sure you will be just as thrilled with the experience as I was.

We had a great experience buying our home with Tim's help. He is very knowledgeable about the Pleasanton area and helped us find a house that matched what we were looking for. He guided us on the offer price, was able to represent us well during the process and was successful in getting our offer accepted within our price range in a hot sellers market. He was very professional throughout and made the buying process as smooth as possible.

We were fortunate to meet Tim at an open house. He probably thought we were looky-loos initially but he stuck with us, understood our needs and helped us find our dream home. And when it came time to sell our home, we're so glad we followed his advice on staging and changes to the house/yard; it sold within a week for above asking price. I highly recommend Tim and his team.
