Tim has long been known as the "Birdland" expert, so when we decided to sell our home, Tim was the only realtor we wanted to work with. We had been in our home for 32 years and had no recent experience with selling a home, so we were more than a little nervous about the process. Tim had the patience and knowledge to assist and put us at ease during every aspect of the sale. He has access to resources which allowed us to make some minor updates to our home on a tight timeline and budget which resulted in us getting the most out of our sale. Putting our trust in Tim to help us sell our home was definitely the right decision.
From start to finish, Tim McGuire guided us through the sale of our home during a very stressful time. We had already purchased our dream home, so timing was critical. Tims professionalism, knowledge, and authenticity stood out immediately. With decades of experience, he handled everythingaEUR"from pricing to negotiationsaEUR"allowing us to focus on our move with complete confidence. He was always proactive, responsive, and genuinely supportive. Tim exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent with experience and integrity.
Working with Tim was fantastic!

The property went for over the asking price! I highly recommend Tim. He is a consummate professional!
Tim was the listing agent on our home 19 years ago. When it came time to consider moving closer to our aging parents, it was an easy choice to call Tim. He was patient with us when we made our home a aEURoequietaEUR? listing due to timing. As predicted, Tim stated that the next best time to sell would be in the next couple of months and he was right! He negotiated the top offer that we received. Tim is friendly, knowledgable, and made the transition painless. I highly recommend Tim.
Ive moved multiple times, and Tim the best realtor overall Ive ever used. It was a pleasure to work with him. He is incredibly responsive, and worked well over my expectations. He made magic happen. Place I wanted to buy was not on the market and also had a tenant with 9 months to go on her lease. He was able to persuade owner to sell and the tenant to move out. Within about 6 weeks, I had moved in. In addition, in a challenging market, he sold my place and coordinated closing date with the buyer. Tim didnt stop there, but helped me negotiate an unexpected garage leak, set me up with an excellent painter and attend to multiple details. You cant go wrong with Tim. He will make a tough journey feel easy for you.

When my wife and I were thinking about selling our home, we knew immediately who we were going to call. I considered Tim, "Mr. Country Faire!" He seems to have a hand in representing most of the buyers and sellers of homes in our area. Tim's reputation preceded itself. His knowledge of our neighborhood was impressive. Tim made the home-selling experience remarkably smooth. From our initial meeting to the final closing, his professionalism and expertise were evident. Tim took the time to understand our needs, offered insightful advice, and guided us through every step of the process. Initially we were planning to sell our home in Spring of 2025. Tim had a number of interested buyers already lined up even prior to our first conversation. Within weeks, we had changed our plans to sell immediately saving us time and money while delivering a dream house to his perspective buyer. This was truly a win-win situation for all parties involved! Overall, I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking to sell their home in Pleasanton.

Tim worked with us for purchase in Pleasanton area and our experience was amazing. He is veryu knowledgeable about tri-valley and specially Pleasanton. He will come with you to all showings and provide useful and neutral opinion on pros and cons of houses. He would also know all stats on schools and would have right info on what a potential upgrade would entail and cost. His biggest strength is his connections and network with other agents in that area. He knows the industry and all agents well. This is crucial to learning about upcoming properties and also helps when presenting offer. Post House closing also, Tim helped us do relevant upgrades and provided us with connections to handyman and helped with all repairs etc. We made the right decision to work with him and I highly recommend him as a buyer and seller agent.

Working with Tim and his team was truly an exceptional experience. Tim's knowledge of the process - recommending repairs and updates, filing disclosures, staging and marketing the house, and reviewing offers - made the entire process both easy to understand and stress free. Tim's extended team kept me informed throughout the process and much of the paper work was completed digitally. Working with Tim was a pleasure and he went out of his way to help support my unique situation - from coming to the house, while I was away on business, and needed a new refrigerator delivered to picking me up from the airport when I needed to fly back to California to complete the sale and close. I highly recommend Tim and his team - professionally and personally the services they provide were truly exceptional.
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.
My wife and I recently sold our home in Pleasanton. This was a difficult process for us since we had owned the home for over 36 years. Tim McGuire and the Compass team were outstanding partners throughout the process! They thoughtfully advised us, anticipated our needs on multiple occasions, and were excellent communicators at all times. Their team could literally help us with anything we needed, while maintaining a professional, friendly and supportive demeanor throughout.

We got an excellent result utilizing their proven processes, and keen awareness of the market. We highly recommend Tim and his team!
Tim and his team were amazing. They are a well oiled machine from start to finish. Landscaping? Done. Clean & prep? No problem. Staging? Yes, and top notch. Highly recommend!
I would whole heartily recommend Tim and would use his expertise during my next real estate transaction in the Tri Valley area. Tim is very knowledgeable and up to date about the market prices.

Tim is a big reason why our home sold as it did.
Tim and his crew did a fantastic job with selling off my parents home. It was so hard dealing with the death of my dad, but he was always there to support me and talk to me. He felt like he was a good friend to me and my family. He also helped with the estate sale when I had no one to help me. His crew was also very helpful and sincere. I highly recommend him and his company. He also helped me find a home for my sister and was always there for me when I needed him. I have known Tim for 20 years plus and he continues to surprise me

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.
Tim was invaluable helping me sell my home in Livermore and purchase a home in Discovery Bay. Tim handled both transactions for me. The sale of Livermore was awesome with a website, video, drone footage, beautiful staging, open houses, everything I could ask for. Even in a tough market my home sold quickly and for a good price. As good as Tim is, his team is also amazing and together they make sure all the details are taken care of. Highly recommend Tim!
My husband and I recently worked with Tim and his team to sell our condo. Tim was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and professional.

I have done several real estate transactions with Tim over the years, and I would highly recommend him. He is a well known local pro when it comes to the East Bay real estate market. With the help of his team, my house was beautifully staged, impeccably cleaned, and the landscaping was given a nice refresher to help make my house an attractive listing. He knows exactly the things you need to do to help make your listing the best it can be. Tim and his team are completely committed to their clients, they return every call, text or email with helpful advice and answers. He takes pride in his listings, and certainly makes the real estate transaction go as seamless as possible.
We highly recommend Tim Maguire and his team. His knowledge of the market is second to none. Tim was instrumental in providing direction on the timing of placing our house on the market.

When it came time to sell our long-time family home we knew we needed a real estate agent to represent us who was professional, experienced and well-connected to guide us through the process.

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, were 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.
Tim and his team absolutely made selling my fathers house as easy as it could be. Buying or selling a house is always stressful as it is a complex process and usually represents the largest financial transaction the typical family makes. This is especially true now with the rapidly changing economy and real estate market. In such conditions, working with the top realtor is the best insurance for a successful outcome, and Tim McGuire definitely fits that requirement. Tim is both very experienced and knowledgable and has a capable support team to rapidly handle all the details and unexpected situations. Given the stress inherent in buying or selling a home, one of Tims greatest strengths is his ability and patience in explaining the process, answering questions, and setting your mind at ease so you can do your part with the greatest sense of assurance. Whether buying or selling, Tims group makes it as easy as possible, and some aspects are even fun! Tim was highly recommended by a knowledgable friend, I am VERY glad I followed their advice, and am happy to pass that advice along!
We got top dollar for our home and that is due to Tim McGuire and his team. ***** He and his team of professionals provided sound quality direction throughout the pre-listing preparation, showing/listing process, and finally the bid review and sale of our home. Communication was excellent with frequent updates, they were readily available to answer questions and were timely in getting back with answers.
Tim did a superior job selling my dad's house. Knew the local market intimately, and really shone in negotiating the price. Glitch with setting up the process for handling our repair costs is the only thing from making this five stars across the board.

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 couldnt have been more pleased with how smoothly the whole transition went!!
Tim and his team were exceptional. The team's promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, and enthusiasm made a potentially chaotic selling process simple. We were kept informed of every aspect of selling our home through detailed schedules, constant communication, and great response time from everyone we were in contact with. We would highly recommended Tim McGuire and his team to anyone interested in finding expert and dedicated agents.
My husband and I had the privilege to work with Tim McGuire to purchase our first home. As first time home buyer, we had a lot of anxiety and inexperience with the real estate buying and selling process. We couldn't have asked for a better person that Tim as our realtor. He is extremely professional with a calm personality. He is also patient and happily answered the zillion questions we had throughout the process. He helped us with going to the open houses and would given us his expert opinion on every house we saw (pros & cons) and within a few days of open house visits, he perfectly understood what we were looking for. He made himself available to answer any questions over the phone or email (even though he had an extremely busy schedule). If not for him, we would have gotten discouraged with the complexity of the whole process. Tim really made the whole process a piece of cake and I would look further and would go back to him in a heart beat for future needs. He is definitely the one to have you on your side if you are buying or selling.

Tim, Eva, Karen and everyone else in his team who helped us have our highest regards.
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!
Had a wonderful experience working with Tim and Eva last year. From start to finish, they made the process run smoothly, clearly, and with a very personal approach to all decisions.
