Review for Member: Sean O'Shaughnessy
ZillowVERIFIEDI have tried to work with and met with many different realtors throughout my quest to become a home owner and I have found them all to be very withdrawn, snooty, and condescending. Sean is the exact opposite! If you are looking for someone you can trust to sell you a solid, honestly good home, Sean will be able to use his experience as a house flipper and as a flooring manufacturer/installer to assess what is a good buy and what is not. He has a great sense of humor, is patient, knowledgeable and honest. He is also very available for questions or advice if you have to move into a new area.If I ever have to sell my home and buy a new one, I will definitely work with Sean again.

ZillowVERIFIEDSean was responsive and ultimately got the job done. I think it was his personal connections that got the house sold . I am so glad the house went to a really nice family .

ZillowVERIFIEDSean was with us every step of the way! Whenever we had a question, he was on the ball getting us a quick answer. Sean's knowledge and insight into the buying process helped us tremendously and his patience and understanding while working with us *first time homebuyers* was unwavering through the entire process. He was always available when needed and his knowledge and insight into the local communities is such an asset! We highly recommend Sean O'Shaughnessy for all home buyers looking to purchase their dream home in the area!!

ZillowVERIFIEDI used Sean recently for a home purchase - he was extremely helpful throughout the process, and helped me navigate through any hiccups as the occurred. He has a lot of local knowledge and is a great asset in terms of any needs for the house as they come along. Additionally , he was there when i needed him post closing to handle a unexpected issue with the house given I do not live in the area, but rather use the home as a 2nd home. I would definitely recommend Sean for an potential homeowner selling or purchasing a home - he is patient, has lots of knowledge and I believe will guide you in a honest fashion.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I worked with Sean to purchase a vacation home in Fleischmanns. Sean was extremely knowledgable, and responded quickly to our requests. Sean was able to expedite the sales process and was genuinely a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a real estate professional, Sean is your man.

ZillowVERIFIEDSean was amazing at helping me find my dream home!! As a first time home buyer he put me at ease and walked me through every step of the process. He was trustworthy and knowledgeable and answered all my questions no matter how ridiculous. I highly recommend working with him (the British accent is an added bonus)

Review for Member: Sean O'Shaughnessy
ZillowVERIFIEDSean was wonderful. He was professional, knowledgeable and responsive. From the first time we met him, we were immediately put at ease by his calm demeanor and friendly approach to the process. Sean helped us search for a house, negotiate the sale price, and worked with us all the way up until closing to make sure that the entire process went smoothly from start to finish. Compared to our closing in NYC a few years prior (which was as much of a headache as you can imagine) this whole process was like sitting on a beach with a cold drink in comparison. We know that there were many factors that led to the ease of our most recent home purchase, but Sean was most certainly one of them. Thanks again Sean! If we are ever in the market again in the area, we will certainly give you a call!

ZillowVERIFIEDSean helped us with finding a property in Roxbury NY. We found Sean to be very responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. In our particular case, purchasing a home from hundreds of miles away, it was wonderful to have an agent that was willing to preview houses for us, and to give what turned out to be expert opinions as to suitability for us. We highly recommend Sean.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe closed on our second home with Sean. It was our first time buying property, and Sean made the process very easy. He was patient with us when we first started, and was able to help us build a good pool of properties to view, and then narrow them down to ones that were best for us. Throughout the entire process, Sean was extremely professional, patient, and informative. I will contact Sean again if we want to sell the property, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for property in the area.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I are so thankful for Sean and all of the people he brought to us to help make our search a dream property so successful and easy. Sean has a deep understanding of the area that we were able to really benifit from. He connected us with a lawyer, inspector and even a plumber after we closed. He was with us every step. All the while it was clear that he was there to represent us and our interest not trying to sell us a house. Very easy going but super on top of everything. We couldnt have gotten it done without him. Very thankful.

ZillowVERIFIEDSean was extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. He helped us navigate the process of buying a house and it was a joy working with him. He knows the Catskills area very well and he stands behind the buyer. We never felt pressed in making an offer or in accepting it. Sean was responsive to our requests and set up appointments for house visits to our schedule. Would highly recommend using him.

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was an absolute pleasure working with Sean. He was responsive, honest, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to help us with the buying process. He is very familiar with the area and was able to recommend a variety of specialists for inspection as well as post acquisition repairs/remodeling.

ZillowVERIFIEDDo yourself a favor ... if you are selling your property, work with Sean. His knowledge of the area and individual properties helped make the decisions in selling my home feel secure. He spotted a great couple from Brooklyn and within a couple of weeks after being on the market, it sold. If at some point in the future I'm looking to buy I will be calling him again.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe think Sean is the absolute BEST! We have purchased and sold property with him. With both transactions we could not have been more pleased. Sean is low key, super knowledgeable about the areas in this region, up for any adventure/search whatever the client is looking for, full of suggestions and possible options, well connected to local support (lawyers, banks, contractors, excavators, septic/well, etc.) Sean is instantly like an old friend and you feel secure knowing that he will find you whatever it is you are looking, and/or makes sure whatever you are selling is easy and stress-free. Sean truly enjoys what he does and always goes the extra mile for his clients. We can't THANK YOU for our experiences with you!

Review for Member: Sean O'Shaughnessy
ZillowVERIFIEDSean was fantastic helping me with a challenging sale. I was extremely anxious about having to sell my father's vacation property-it hadn't been visited in years, and needed a lot of work/TLC. We live in another state, and had no local contacts, or the ability to get to the property easily.Sean knew exactly what to do and how to proceed with the challenge. The property was listed, and sold within a short time. He kept us posted with updates on showings, and if we had questions, he was available by email or phone. When we accepted an offer, he helped us get a local real estate lawyer and did a lot of the legwork to make sure all the proper documents were acquired, and where they needed to be.Closing was quick, and efficient.We are very grateful and thankful we had Sean as our realtor, and would recommend him to anyone who had a home/or land for sale in the area.

Review for Member: Sean O'Shaughnessy
ZillowVERIFIEDMy partner and I had been searching for a second home when we came across one of Sean's online listings. Since we weren't working with an agent, we called Sean ourselves and spoke with him about the property and town since neither of us were very familiar with the Catskills, in spite of hearing great things. Needless to say, he was very knowledgeable with respect to the house and any questions he didn't have answers to, he would get back to us within the hour. His friendly demeanor made us feel like we could always reach out to him with whatever was on our minds. Furthermore, being new to the town, we needed recommendations on things to do, places to go and people to call if we needed to do somethings around the house. Sean happily provided us with all the info we requested, again, within hours. We would highly recommend working with Sean. His professionalism, reliability and communication skills are characteristics that make for a great agent.

Review for Member: Sean O'Shaughnessy
ZillowVERIFIEDI've worked with a lot of agents before - both for selling and buying properties - but have never had the experience I had with Sean. From the moment you meet Sean you know it's not about making a quick sale - he is there to help you find a place you can truly call home. For those of you who have worked with agents before you know how rare that is. Too often agents are not interested in you, your family, your life and therefore don't know really what you are looking for. Sean not only helped turn our dream into reality, he also made us home in a new community. He did all that in a highly professional yet personal way.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently purchased a home in Roxbury, NY. Sean was the first person we spoke to when we began the process of looking for a house and we are very thankful for that. Sean was great. From the initial meeting, to the offer process, through closing and even beyond, Sean has been professional, knowledgable and personable. This was our first time buying a home and we did not know the area well. Sean made the experience a great one on all fronts. We would recommend Sean highly if you are looking for house in the Catskills area.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom the moment we met Sean we knew he was our guy. He is personable, witty, knowledgeable, competent, and has a great sense of humor. We are "information people" and as such have a tendency to over analyze everything. The insight and perspective he offered never made us feel like any question was too ridiculous. His superior knowledge of the area made us want to be part of the community. Most importantly he is fair, honest and always available. The recommendations he made for our attorney and lender (after our own research and endless phone calls with others) turned out to be the best and we were very satisfied in our experiences with both. (Note to self: listen to Sean, it will save you time and money!) With easy grace Sean guided us through the whole process and the closing was a breeze because of his dedication throughout. We are beyond thrilled to be part of this community and can't wait to buy the best realtor ever a pint!

ZillowVERIFIEDI recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Sean O'Shaughnessy while looking for a second home in upstate NY/Deleware County. While working with Sean he and his accompanying staff were professional and prompt at all times, regardless of the task at hand.Along with working in a professional manner his original (and immediate), house valuation wound up being the exact number that was settled upon. Once my wife and I had placed the original offer it was only a few days until the seller and myself were in contract.I would also like to add that the local knowledge that Sean possess was accurate and became very useful during the vetting and purchasing process.I would have absolutely no reservations recommending Mr. Sean OShaughnessy to anyone looking to purchase a piece of property or home in the area in which he covers.

ZillowVERIFIEDSean was totally professional from day one of the sales process. His understanding of the area, our type of house and its value and the type of prospective buyer was excellent. We left it all in his hands; he walked us through each part of the process and no question was too unimportant.We would not hesitate to recommend Sean to all potential clients, either on the buy or the sell side.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I started looking for a house In The Catskills in 2015. We found Sean online and he was very helpful and showed us a variety of properties. For personal reasons, we decided to put our search on hold for a few months. When we decided to restart our search, we immediately contacted Sean in early 2016 because of our wonderful Initial experience with him and because he was so knowledgeable about the area. We were kind of "all over the map" but Sean was able to give us great guidance. We explained exactly how far we were willing to travel and He showed us about 7 properties in one day. He knew EXACTLY what we were looking for and we actually ended up purchasing one of the 7 homes he showed us. Sean was extremely responsive and helpful during the initial stages of our sale. He is a consummate professional, really listens to you and is extremely knowledgeable not to mention very patient. We highly recommend him if you are considering purchasing a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDSean was extremely helpful to my wife and me, during the entire process of finding and then, finally, buying our new home. We leaned on him for guidance and advice, many times, during the purchase process and his input was always extremely helpful. He was always very quick to respond to an email, text or phone call and his friendly manner was always a comfort...especially during a few, "challenging", moments while we were dealing with our bank. You'll be in good, knowledgable hands when you are with Sean!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe looked for over 8 months and them spent 2 months in negotiations before finally closing on our dream property. Sean was wonderfully patient with our unpredictable schedule and last minute requests to get in a few more houses per weekend. It was a long arduous process but Sean made the whole thing fun and enjoyable. We would gladly use him again!

ZillowVERIFIEDI contacted Timberland Properties in Margaretville, NY and Sean O'Shaughnessy was the first person to pick up the phone. He met me at the property that I wanted to list and he was prompt and spent two and a half hours with me on how to present the property in order to sell it. He was personable, knowledgeable and professional. He also kept me informed as to what was going on during the time it was on the market. I highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIEDSean O'Shaughnessy is exceptional at his job. He took us to see three houses and in that time we struck gold. He clearly listened to what our wishes were and was really able to match us with properties that fit the bill. Each house we saw was lovely. Sean's knowledge of each listing was complete and his comfort with the process made our acquisition seamless. I really can't speak highly enough of Mr. O'Shaughnessy. He is a professional through and through and also had us laughing along the way. We have bought and sold several properties and never ad such a spectacular experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I inherited a log cabin in the Catskill Mountains and did a complete renovation. After completing, we decided to put it up for sale. We interviewed a number of realtors and decided to go with Sean who seemed to have his pulse on what the "weekender" clients from NYC were looking for.He put together an aggressive marketing campaign. I think we had about 30-40 showing in the first two weeks. In 18 days, we had a full price cash offer. We closed this past Friday without a hitch. It was the quickest and most pleasant real estate transaction we have ever had.Sean is a gem and his wife, who is also a realtor, took wonderful pictures of our home.We highly recommend Sean and Timberland Properties!

ZillowVERIFIEDSean just helped us acquire a country home in Fleischmanns, NY. We have significant homebuying experience and can confidently say that Sean is excellent at what he does. While looking at properties Sean was a great source of information, with excellent local color to help us make an intelligent choice. Through the sale process Sean was always available and was very helpful in answering questions and moving the process along. He's was a great help at the closing and is still helping us now as we transition ownership, services, etc. If you're looking in his area, Sean's the man to see. Plus, he's a really nice guy.

ZillowVERIFIEDSean provides in depth research of the properties he is presenting to buyers. He listens to both buyers and sellers and with his understanding of their needs and wants effectively negotiates a transaction cutting out wasted time and effort if no matching of interests exists. The most compelling aspect of dealing with Sean as a buyer or seller is his integrity. Simply put he does not lie to eitheer side. He tells it like it is.

Review for Member: Sean O'Shaughnessy
ZillowVERIFIEDSo glad we found Sean! Knowing very little about the area, Sean was an excellent "tour guide". We started the whole process just to get our feet wet, but after our adventures through the Margaretville, Roxbury, Bovina, and Arkville areas we were hooked. Sean's passion for the area and community which he lives and works in was contagious. He enjoys the ride with his clients and makes it a wonderful experience. Sometimes the challenges of purchasing a home or property is overwhelming, not so with Sean. We were provided with names of local lawyers, lenders, contractors, etc.. We think Sean, was just as excited as we were when we finally found our "perfect spot nestled on the mountain". It has been almost a year since the purchase of our property. We have no regrets. On our route to Bovina, we always go through Margaretville and give a wave or shout out to Sean, fondly remembering our search and how much fun we had up and down the mountains and wading through the high mountain grasses, thanks to Sean O'Shaughnessy.
