Simon Timm

Simon was incredibly helpful throughout the entire sale process. His many years of experience clearly shine through his demeanor and the recommendations that he makes. He was very thorough and patient, and provided excellent advice at multiple points of the sale. A home sale is a difficult and emotional time for anyone. Simons level-headed and even approach suited our process the best, through his careful curation of the listing process, we were able to advertise our property and secure over 30 showings in the first weekend, with an offer following days after. While the offer was for below list price, Simon assisted in the negotiation process greatly, helping us settle on a fair sale price that ended up being just a touch above the appraisal - just where you want to be. An excellent experience overall, and I would not hesitate recommending Simon to anyone.

I was a little concerned that Houwzers compensation model might lead to less than stellar service, but that absolutely was not the case. Simon was responsive via call, text, or email and promptly reached out whenever there was new information. His expertise was instrumental in choosing the best listing price for our goals. There were multiple offers right about at asking after the first weekend of showings, and Simon was quite knowledgeable when walking me through the pros and cons of each. Even when there were a few hiccups on the road to closing to comply with the first time homebuyer program the buyers were using, Simon already had a solution prepared when he called to tell me about it and was a patient and calming presence when I was upset, panicking, and jumping to worst case scenarios. The fact that Simon was able to instill such confidence in his abilities, make me feel truly supported, and inspire trust that I had a capable advocate during a challenging completely remote environment was truly remarkable. I could not recomment him more highly.

Simons knowledge and experience, combined with great integrity (not always present in the real-estate industry) all combined to bring a difficult transaction to a successful closing. My home sold for 104% of an already inflated asking price. Thank you Simon!

My husband and myself decided to consult with Houwzer to sell out house and was contacted almost immediately by Simon . Our expectations were exceeded working with Simon. He was very knowledgeable and informative and also very communicative with selling our house. Our transaction was smooth throughout and we recommend anyone trying to buy or sell use Simon Timm @Houwzer.

My mother passed away late in 2019 while I was working overseas. And knowing how way leads onto way, my brothers and I decided to sell the family home of over 40 years. We worked with Simon, who was immensely patient with us as we navigated the estate (and grieving) process. He was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. When we finally made it to listing months later, the house sold in 5 days; above asking; and within a few thousand dollars of Simons original market estimate. If saving money is your thing, Houwzers business model reduces the sellers cost over traditional sales fees. There is little need for excessive praise when the results speak for themselves.

We chose to list with Houwzer after reading reviews online and having a good idea of the market in our area. Simon was our selling agent. In our first meeting (virtual) he explained the Houwzer process thoroughly and we knew what to expect going forward. Simon was very responsive during the entire process and available via phone, text or video meeting. He offered outstanding advice regarding pricing and during the offer reviews. When the first offer fell through (due to the buyer) Simon immediately got the second offer lined up for the sale. The closing process went smoothly and Simon was with us at each step to ensure that things were stress free. I would highly recommend Simon for anyone considering using Houwzer in the DC area.

Working with Simon to sell my condo was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable of the local market, and super responsive, always responding to texts or calls within a matter of minutes. His suggestions throughout the process were also very helpful. Best of all, I found him to be very calming, empathetic, and supportive. I wish he was a buyers agent too! Thank you, Simon!

We had an exceptional experience selling our house with Houwzer agent Simon Timm. We considered FSBO but are glad we didn?t go that route because we benefited from the best of both worlds. We received first-rate full-service representation?from listing the home with photos and video, to providing the lockbox, to providing outstanding advice (and only to the extent we wanted it!), to patiently walking us through paperwork, to helping ensure a seamless closing. And all that with great monetary savings, to boot. We HIGHLY recommend Houwzer, and Simon in particular!

Simon was very knowledgeable about the home selling process and our particular town home development. In fact, based on selling other homes in our area, he alerted us to a potential problem with our water heater that we were not even aware of. He walked us through Houwzers unique business model and was very responsive to texts and emails at all hours. In the end, we sold our house above asking price, closed within 30 days of listing, and minimized the number of showings (a priority for our family during COVID-19). We were very happy with the entire experience of working with Houwzer and Simon.

The initial attraction to using Houwzer to sell our Maryland home was that it would save us over $10,900 in agent fees. This is the first discounted real estate agency weve ever used so we were a bit hesitant as to how well it would work out. Simon Timm, our Houwzer agent, was a constant, reassuring contact in this potentially stressful procedure. He answered all our questions as they arose & has a very knowledgeable, calming personality. Although we never met in person, we felt very comfortable relying on Simon to advise us well based on our specific situation.Yes, going with Houwzer rather than a traditional agent, you have more paperwork to complete on your own (like the listing info- How many bedrooms? Bathrooms? Is the clothes dryer hookup gas or electric?...) but Simon was always just a text or phone call away if we had any questions. We had numerous showings, scheduled through a handy app, and four offers which basically caused a bidding war. Simon advised us on the advantages vs disadvantages of each of the offers. In the end, we sold within just a couple weeks & for $20k over asking price! We highly recommend Houwzer and Simon Timm if you plan to sell your home in the areas they provide service.
