ZillowVERIFIEDTim is terrific! He was the listing agent for the sale of our family home in the CAGE in Wilmette. He made the sale of our long-time home simple and transparent. He had great resources for decluttering and preparing our house for sale. He priced it correctly, kept us fully informed through showings, and helped us negotiate a contract within a matter of weeks. He stayed with us through closing, making the whole process completely painless. I highly recommend Tim for your real estate transactions.

Review for Member: Tim Shaker
ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we started the process of moving to Wilmette from the east coast (with school-age children) without prior knowledge of the area, we knew we would need a real estate agent that 1) was well-informed locally, 2) would get to know us to help guide us, and 3) was communicative and quick to respond. We had already introduced ourselves to a few realtors who were clearly not all three when we fortunately found Tim and instantly knew he was the guy for us. With extensive history in the North Shore, a friendly demeanor, and a work ethic that responded immediately to texts, emails, or calls, we credit Tim with our successful move to the area. By the time we made our single house hunting visit, he was able to steer us straight to the few places we would seriously consider, and concisely told us which of the rest of the MLS search results to ignore due to price/location/condition issues. Then we made an offer with his guidance and used every inspector/attorney/etc he recommended without a hitch. An absolutely amazing experience!

ZillowVERIFIEDTim was professional, responsive to my requests, and most of all he listened to me. He is not pushy, and he made some excellent suggestions to stage the home. The home sold at or above market value within 10 days! Partly luck but partly due to doing all the little things right such as the staging and open houses.Highly recommend Tim.

Review for Member: Tim Shaker
ZillowVERIFIEDNot sure there is anything better to say than Tim sold our place BEFORE it officially hit the market, precisely TO THE dollar amount we agreed upon. Then, a day later he had another client offer us more. A few days after that a woman who wanted our place let her agent go and hired Tim based on how well he handled our deal. Is there anything more you could even ask of a broker? Tim did this--but let's quickly take a closer look.When a house sells in record time for full price, the knee jerk reaction is simply too assume it was sold too low and money was left on the table. Not so. Not at all. Selling a house today is akin to a moon launch. Everything from the price, the time to market, the marketing, the positioning all have to be dead on, or you will NOT sell any time soon. All over the north shore look at the signs you see on too many homes block after block: PRICE REDUCTION. Right? It means the property was not priced/timed/marketed properly. Today's market literally is the best of times if you plan accordingly, or the worst of times if you do not. The net, net is that Tim Shaker did plan accordingly...priced, timed, and positioned everything just right and our home blasted off the market.

ZillowVERIFIEDTim was a great asset in helping us find our ideal house. We told him what we were in the market for and he listened and only showed us properties that we'd be interested in. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and is well connected, which is important if you are looking for something not yet on the market. Tim was laid back, not the least bit pushy and I'd recommend him to anyone looking in the greater Wilmette area.

ZillowVERIFIEDTim is responsive, flexible, and truly interested in helping you find the right home. He showed us homes in the Evanston and Wilmette area in 2015. Tim is from that area, so he has good knowledge of neighborhoods and other pertinent information.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe actually met Tim by accident when we were interested in a home, but not yet that far along in the process of buying. I felt Tim was honest, he even steered us away from a house that, in retrospect, would have been a money pit.

ZillowVERIFIEDI am so fortunate to know Tim Shaker through an elite networking group on the North Shore. Tim has a very impressive background as a trader prior to his entry into the real estate business so he understands the financial impact of investing and homeowner's equity and properly insuring assets with a customized policy.Tim's roots are in the North Shore area of Chicago but his representation is not limited to the North Shore exclusively. I would absolutely recommend Tim Shaker to all of my clients, friends and family. He is a seasoned, highly intelligent and passionate real estate agent who will bring tremendous insight and value for a successful sale and/or home purchase.Gabrielle GlassHeil & Heil Insurance Agency

If you want the best price and a solid marketing plan around it, Tim is experienced and thoughtful in selling and buying real estate. Also, he was extremely responsive which was a plus, always communicating with all parties and keeping everyone in the loop.
