About Tim Riley

Tim Riley was born and raised on a family farm in Northern California where a strong work ethic was ingrained in him. His introduction to real estate came when he purchased a home while still attending his second year of college. He continued to study real estate and decided to dedicate a year to real estate after graduating Cal-Poly. In 1999, he completed his Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in Agriculture Business with a concentration in Marketing. Tim's lovely wife Mary Ann is also his business partner and mother to their adorable boys Tyler and Bryce. It's easy to understand why people like working with Tim. His manner is self-assured yet innately humble, with no trace of arrogance or self-importance. He answers questions directly and has a natural way of putting you at ease. His own experiences as a real estate investor has given Tim a strong foundation of knowledge and understanding on how best to help his customers achieve their own real estate objectives. He stays up to date on industry trends and changes through continued education. His clients gain valuable insight from Tim's experiences. Tim is very familiar with the entire Central Coast, and understands what to expect throughout all types of real estate transactions. He never stops learning, and this allows him to offer his clients valuable insight, whether they are buying or selling a primary residence, or looking to expand into the investment market. Specializing in the county of San Luis Obispo, Tim works with a balanced clientele of buyers, sellers, developers, and investors. Some of Tim's past accomplishments include: Several Single Family Home, Duplex, and Condo remodel projects throughout the county, lead principle and project manager of two separate condominium developments in San Luis Obispo. Bella Vista, completed in 2008 valued at $4,000,000 and Villa San Luis, completed in 2010 valued at over $6,000,000. Tim is the current sales manager of a new 62 home subdivision within SLO County. Tim clearly enjoys new challenges and his vast "hands on experience" often saves his clients money, time, and stress. Tim maintains a sense of perspective when it comes to his remarkable achievements. "I believe that the values of integrity, honesty, and trust stand the test of time in every aspect of life", Tim says. "Building relationships with my clients and helping them achieve their goals has been a wonderful opportunity to make a difference through my work, and I look forward to continuing to serve my customers for years to come." #1 Producing CENTURY 21 Agent in San Luis Obispo County Broker Associate Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR) Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) Top 1% of Realtors Nationally Realtor Magazine- Top 30 Realtors Under 30, 2005 The Tribune Top 20 Professionals Under 40, 2006 GRAND CENTURION Producer, CENTURY 21 CENTRY 21 Quality Service Producer Award- 100% approval rating from past clients National Association of Realtors California Association of Realtors San Luis Obispo Association of Realtors BS California Polytechnic State University

Tim was very helpful during this process. I don't live in the area which made it a more challenging process. Tim did a good job getting the home staged and ready for a quick sale and c!osing. The photo video presentation was especially impressive. Thank you!

We have worked with Tim for about a year searching for the right home in San Luis Obispo for our family who was relocating from Lake Tahoe. Because of our distance, we were not able to physically be there for all the open houses, but that never stopped Tim from attending them for us and giving us in depth virtual tours to give us a better feel for the property. Tim will go above and beyond for his clients and make sure they are well taken care of throughout the process. Tim is also well respected in the industry so you know you're in good hands when working with him since he has strong ties and relationships with a lot of the local agents. His knowledge and expertise in real estate and the local community greatly benefits any client who works with him and he is just an all around nice/great person to work with. We cannot recommend Tim enough and feel lucky we found him to help us purchase the perfect home for our family!

Tim Riley was phenomenal in every way imaginable. My wife and I have a daughter attending college in San Luis Obispo, CA, and we were interested in buying her a condominium that would eventually turn into a rental property. My wife was looking at available real estate online one night, and Tim initially contacted us. We are so glad that he did. We live out of town, and were only in the SLO area on short notice in tight windows. He accommodated our schedule, and only showed us properties near the college (thereby not wasting our time on units that never would have interested us). In addition, he never pressured us to "settle on" several available condos that did not meet our needs. We were especially blessed that he knew the local real estate market so well that he encouraged us to make an offer on a beautiful condo that the owners had recently taken off the market. The owners accepted (thus sparing us the inevitable bidding war that would have ensued). Early on, Tim connected us to a local loan officer who was as helpful as him. Once our offer was accepted, Tim guided us through every step of the sale process. The online documents were easy to sign and save. Tim made himself available for the home inspection and the final walk-through, and always made time for us to answer our questions and walk us through the process. Tim gave us the highest level of service and commitment possible. Simply stated, we would not have successfully purchased our condo without him, and we enthusiastically recommend him to anyone and everyone.

We recently purchased a home in SLO and are so thankful someone recommended Tim Riley to us! From the start, Tim was very helpful in explaining how the process works and really held our hand through all the stressors (and mountains of paperwork!). He was personable, approachable, and made us feel very comfortable through the whole home-buying process. It felt that he truly listened to our wants and needs in a home and helped us understand the pros and cons of all our choices. He was great at negotiating and often thought to include things we hadn't even considered. Tim stuck with us through the stressful rise in interest rates and helped us figure out a negotiation that would reduce our monthly payments, and therefor make our dream home affordable for us. And to top it all off, he surprised us with a beautiful gift basket filled with local products when he dropped off our keys after close. Tim was an all around great agent and we would happily recommend him to anyone!

Tim was very patient with us sending us several listing of houses in the San Luis Obispo Area over a two year period. When we found the right house we were able to arrange a visit within 24 hours. Tim helped us position our offer so we could gain quick acceptance. Tim also helped us through the sales process providing timely documents to sign and followed up with us. Tim also shared with us his knowledge of the various local services to set up our household. Tim was away available anytime if we had any questions.I would recommend to Tim to anyone seeking a home in the central coast of California
