Testimonials

"It impossible to find a better Durham realtor than Tim Hock. I own more than two-dozen rental properties in the area, and I owe many of my best finds to Tim. He has an uncanny sense of which neighborhoods are good investments now, and which will be in two years. Coming from a prominent real estate family, Tim knows most of the movers and shakers in the business and that local insight is invaluable. Since I am not having my morning coffee with developers and other power agents, I want someone who is. That's Tim."

"We would highly recommend Tim Hock to anyone looking to buy a home in Durham. We moved here from out of state and were on a tight timeline, and we were so glad we had Tim to help us through the process. His knowledge of Durham is impressive, and he worked tirelessly to find us a house so we could get moved in on time. When we found the house we wanted, he helped us navigate (and win!) a multiple-offer situation and we’re thrilled with the house we’re in. And most importantly, he’s a trustworthy and genuinely kind person - we’d go back to him in a heartbeat."

"Among the many good agents I've worked with, what I appreciate about Tim the most is his responsiveness. He understands that in a market as hot as Durham, one has to act quickly and decisively. We were often the very first people to arrive at new listings. In addition, his many years of experience meant that I rarely felt my time was wasted with an inappropriate viewing."

"Tim was amazing at helping me find my first home in Durham. He knows the city and its real estate market like the back of his hand. He dive deep to gather the relevant data to put together an offer, and patiently zoomed in or out as I needed it to fully understand the process, the home, and the market. I heard about Tim from a friend and can't wait to recommend him to someone else."

"I cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Tim. We looked for at least a year before finally purchasing our home in April 2019. Tim was so patient with us as we waited for what we wanted and was not pushy, but supportive of us finding our perfect home, and was really just a pleasant person to work with. When we did find a home, he was great in the negotiation process, offering advice when needed, but letting us ultimately make the decisions. He has a lot of experience and truly knows how to play the game, what to pay attention to, and is so on top of all the steps needed to close on time. Tim was so responsive whenever we had questions or concerns. When closing day came and the house had not been properly cleaned (this should have been the responsibility of the listing agent), he pulled some strings and got a cleaning service in last minute because he wanted us to move into a clean home."

"We were first time home buyers entering an extremely strong seller's market - decent houses were going fast and for well over asking price. We have two small children, so the stress of finding the right house was compounded by the fact that we needed search quickly, or face the wrath of two babies passed their nap time. Tim was gracious enough to take us on as clients after many months of frustration. He turned the process of looking for a house into one of disappointment to enjoyment as soon as we met for the first time. Tim's positive energy throughout the house hunt helped us look at each house with an open mind, which was a breath of fresh air. His wisdom in terms of ways to make an old house "home" with suggestions for remodeling, landscaping, etc, also contributed to infusing enthusiasm into the whole process, which we were certainly lacking before we met Tim. He was extremely patient with us, and was always accommodating to ourax sometimes bizarre schedules, trying to work around the babies' needs. Bottom line: Tim makes the process fun and it is clear he cares his clients find the right house. We recently closed on a dream home, and received a very fair deal thanks to Tim's help in setting a fair offer. The pitfalls along the way are plenty, but we are so lucky to have had Tim's help along the way."

"Tim was patient and knowledgeable as we looked for a house for over a year with him. He found us houses that we would have missed based on searching on the internet on our own, and was always available for a (last-minute) showing. Tim really showed his value after we found the house we wanted to buy - from negotiations through inspections to closing - he helped tremendously during a stressful and confusing time. I definitely recommend Tim for house hunting in Durham."

"After seeing how Tim had handled two other sales on my block, I knew he was the person I wanted to handle the sale of my house. I was very impressed by how quickly these houses were sold. So as it happened I got the best of both worlds because Tim also helped me to find my new house which being new construction and this was unchartered waters for me. Tim's knowledge and expertise made both transactions happen with relative ease and I am so grateful for his advise and guidance. He is definitely my go to person when it comes to real estate transactions. Thanks Tim!"

"I have worked with Tim on several real estate sales. I think he is one of the most knowledgeable agents on the downtown Durham market. On several occasions I have sought him for knowledge of the local market and to price homes. I strongly recommend Tim."

"Tim has been excellent to work with and has an extensive knowledge of the Durham area. We have purchased a couple investment properties with him, previously in Durham and most recently in Hillsborough. We looked at many listings and placed offers on a few that didn't go through and each was handled very well. Any questions or concerns that came up during the buying process were promptly and thoroughly addressed."

"Tim has been my realtor for two home purchases now. Both were great experiences. He was extremely responsive and quick to take action on any problem or question that came up. Another great thing about him is that he provides great information when viewing a potential house without being very pushy. He was on top of the process every step of the way, and I never had any surprises come up during the process for either house. On top of all that he is quick with a joke in the right situation. Great realtor!"
