Let The Hunt Begin

"“Tim has helped us twice - once buying our first home, when he helped us find something in a great neighborhood we never thought we could afford. A couple years later when we stumbled on a dream house closer to my work, it was a no-brainer to work with him again — he really knows the market and we knew he’d make a challenging process simple and understandable. Tim helped us place a contingent offer on our new home, and get our existing house ready to stage in just a few days. He had a good eye for staging and ideas to make the listing look it’s best without overdoing it. Thanks to his help and strategic positioning on our listing, we got a full-price offer with no inspection contingency! It was a huge relief to avoid the typical 10-15 day period of stressing over whether the buyer might change their mind. I highly recommend working with Tim no matter where you are in your search - he’s passionate about what he does and a fantastic resource, and treats you like a partner all along the way.”

"Tim exceeded our expectations in our buy first, then sell situation. He came to every scenario with his expertise and guides with resources to explain certain processes, share what’s going on in the market, answer all our questions, and address any concerns. When we first met Tim, we knew he’s going to be honest and full of integrity, as well as put in the extra effort to best represent our needs. Without hesitation he drove across town to meet in-person, jump on a call, and respond to emails in a timely fashion.

In the buy process, Tim guided us on how to look at homes to fit our family’s needs, as well as prepped us well ahead to anticipate the negotiation and purchase process. Since we were new to selling, Tim helped us remain positive and walked us through all the paperwork, process details, and home improvement options - and again answered all our questions and concerns.

So here we are, in less than a month we were in our lovely home perfect for our family, and now wrapping our home listing process. We have no doubt we’ll close out our full engagement with Tim happy and well informed!"

"I can’t believe how fortunate we were to have Tim Sipprell as our real estate agent! From start to finish, our home-buying journey was incredibly smooth, and it’s all thanks to his exceptional skills and professionalism.

Tim demonstrated an impressive level of knowledge about the real estate market. He was well-versed in the neighborhoods we were interested in and provided valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions. His expertise was evident in every aspect of the process, from property evaluations to market trends.

Negotiation is truly an art, and Tim is a master at it. He navigated the negotiations with finesse, ensuring that we got the best possible deal. His strategic approach and attention to detail were remarkable, and we felt confident that our interests were well-represented throughout the entire process.

What stood out the most was Tim’s understanding and empathy. Buying a home can be an emotional journey, and he was there every step of the way, offering support and guidance. His patience in addressing our concerns and answering our numerous questions made the experience not only efficient but also enjoyable.

Ultimately, thanks to Tim, we found our dream home. His dedication to helping us achieve our goals was evident, and we are incredibly grateful for his hard work. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, adept at negotiation, understanding, and genuinely cares about your needs, Tim is the one to choose. We highly recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future."

"We have worked with Tim in both buying and selling our home in St Louis Park. He patiently worked with us looking in a number of different areas and tactfully, yet bluntly, gave us feedback on what to look for and what to avoid. He was very patient and forgiving when working with our less than professional mortgage broker and kept everything moving forward. After we bought the house he would provide advice on people to work with for repairs, etc... When we sold our home he helped “stage” it as he has great taste and knows what sells in the market. Our home was scheduled to go on the market Monday and it we sold it the weekend before. The guy’s great. Thanks Tim!"

"Tim helped both buy and sell my property and get a great deal both times. He had sound advice for all of my questions and a thorough knowledge of the market in the area. Easy to talk to and communicate with. Great experience."

"Tim helped us find and purchase our first home in 2009, so of course we called him immediately when we stumbled upon our dream home and impulsively decided to go for it 1-2 years ahead of schedule. Tim made himself available right away to help us navigate the purchase process for our new home, as well as the more urgent matter of preparing our previous home for a quick sale. Tim talked us through our to-do list to prepare the house to be listed, providing good feedback and ideas in addition to guidance from a staging expert. We had a large number of pre-list showings, and a signed purchase agreement within 24 hours of our house going on the MLS. Tim served as a thoughtful middle-man between us and the seller/realtor for our new home, and the buyer/realtor for our previous home. We have recommended him to others in the past and will continue to do so in the future."

"My husband and I were first-time home buyers trying to purchase a house from 2000 miles away in an incredibly tight real estate market. Tim was extremely honest with us about the market and helped us figure out which neighborhoods to focus on. He was incredibly generous with his time and walked us through all the steps of home buying, which was really helpful since we had never done this before. We ended up finding a great house in a wonderful neighborhood and even got it for under the asking price! He helped us through some tricky negotiations with the seller and was an incredible advocate for us when we couldn’t be there in person. Even after we closed on the house and made our cross-country move, Tim has continued to be a great resource. I call him my “house guru” because he still advises us on ongoing house maintenance topics (super helpful for brand new homeowners with a 65-year-old house). When we discovered some dampness in our basement, he was over within 30 minutes with a giant fan, pulling back the carpet to help us troubleshoot the problem and figure out a solution. I’m eternally grateful for his honest advice and will definitely use him in the future if we ever decide to sell."

"Tim really knows the Minneapolis home market. When my husband and I worked with him to buy a single-family house in 2015, he knew what we wanted better than we did ourselves! He suggested the Kenny neighborhood in South Minneapolis, where we bought a great older home that we loved. Two years later, when our family had to relocate out of state, Tim helped us sell our beloved house in a hurry. Thanks to his smart staging tips and networking, we sold the house in four days and came out ahead. Tim has an MBA and it shows. His thoughtful analysis, masterful project management skills, and no-nonsense approach to negotiation made both the buying and selling process easy for us.

"Thanks solely to Tim, we sold our house in four days with 5 offers on the table! My brother and I both live in California, but when the time came, we were tasked with selling our parent’s home in South Minneapolis. Nothing had been done to upgrade or remodel it in decades, but we immediately thought of Tim, as he’d sold the home across the street in a weekend as well, 3 years prior. We both liked his honest, no-nonsense approach and easy-going manner, and soon learned he was able to handle everything for us. He had a great contractor, his own excellent design/color and decorating ideas, as well as having a talented, well priced stager available - which really added to the finished product for listing. Tim was also able to troubleshoot the unexpected glitches that come up with selling and fixing up an older home. His follow-through and attention to detail was invaluable to us in our 1500 mile absence, and allowed for the relatively short turnaround we’d hoped for. I truly believe this sale could never have been achieved for us so quickly and profitably without Tim Sipprell. A real pro and a good guy to boot!

"I have worked with Tim as my Realtor on numerous transactions, and not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market, market drivers and comps, as a lawyer, I feel comfortable and confident in Tim’s expertise in the intricacies of real estate processes and law as well. I highly recommend Tim and am always looking to pass his name along to those in need of a truly qualified, knowledgeable and experienced Realtor."

"Tim sold our house in 1 day! We traveled with the military prior to settling down in Minnesota so we’ve been through lots of realtors. Tim is 2nd to none! He helped us sell a house in record time and helped us find our forever home. He’s since helped several relatives and friends and they all had similar experiences. It’s so good when you finally find a realtor who has been in the game and knows how to get it done right, and fast!"

"When it came time to market our family home, I called Tim Sipprell because our friends had used him to sell their home in the same neighborhood and they were very satisfied. Our home had been in our family for 63 years and had sheltered 4 generations of our family so there were emotional connections to the property. The house had not been remodeled for several decades and some of the work that had been done was of poor quality. I knew I would need a good contractor and Tim had a close working relationship with an excellent general contractor. We had a substantial, although not unlimited budget to update the home and we were able to come, at least close to that budget with very few surprises. Tim has a very good sense of what appeals to first-time home buyers and we appreciated his vision and direction. The house looked great and we received an offer within two weeks in a softening market. Frankly, it costs about the same to list your home with a top real estate agent as it does to list it with an untested or inexperienced agent. Why would you choose to cut expenses on something this important? We felt the communication about the status of our home sale and closing was appropriate and Tim’s real strength in our case, was bargaining, always representing our best interests in the transaction. We recommend him without reservation.
