- This letter is to describe the experience I had with Tim Kenney as he worked with my wife and I to purchase a home. We relocated to the Baltimore area from another state. The time frame for our first couple of house hunting trips was limited.
Tim worked around our limited time frame by communicating with us by telephone and email. We let Tim know the price ranges we wanted to look at and area where we desired to live. When we arrived in Baltimore Tim was prepared to make the best use of the time we had. There were a couple of specific houses we found on the local real estate web sites that we wanted to see. Tim would meet us with information on the type of housing we wanted to see. Tim always came prepared with information on each property he intended to show us. He made the house hunting easier because he came with a clipboard for each person with all of the information for the houses we were going to look at.
When we did decide on a home Tim continued his good service through the closing. During the negotiating and closing phases Tim was fully involved. He promptly dealt with any questions or issues that arose.
I would recommend Tim for any of your Real Estate needs. I view Tim as a knowledgeable professional that works aggressively for his clients.

- To Whom It May Concern:
When my boyfriend and I saw that our dream home (directly across from Camden Yards) was for sale we knew we had to at least go to the open house. Immediately we fell in love. However, as first time home buyers, we had absolutely no clue where how to even get the ball rolling on trying to purchase the home. Not to mention I had just graduated from dental school so money was also a huge issue.
With little hope that we would actually be able to make a decent bid on the house, we contacted Tim Kenney. Without delay, Tim hooked us up with a Mortgage officer, Jon Wald at Wells Fargo, who crunched the numbers and discovered that we could indeed afford the house. Jon, in turn, hooked us up with Dana Temple at Allstate, who got us a fantastic deal on homeowner’s insurance (and saved me a bunch on money on my car insurance!). Now that the money situation was taken care of, Tim got to work with our bid and negotiating with the seller.
Before we knew it we were at the settlement table. To be perfectly honest, I expected to be a hot mess at settlement, but much to my surprise, settling was more like hanging out at the pub with the guys than a serious legal transaction.
Tim makes everyone around him feel extremely comfortable and confident. I’m still amazed that he made what I thought was impossible happen in less than a month. If it wasn’t for Tim’s hard work and his amazing referrals my boyfriend and I would still be throwing money away in rent and watching someone else live in our dream home. We honestly couldn’t be happier. I couldn’t recommend Tim’s services more.

- I wanted to take the time to thank you for the amazing job you did to help me find and purchase the home that I am growing to love.
Your hard work, attention to detail, knowledge of the area and the sometimes confusing transaction details made me comfortable and informed with my home purchase. Buying a home is something that can be intimidating to a first time homebuyer like me but you made the whole process easy and understandable.
Your willingness to go above and beyond the normal scope of realtor service is one of the many reasons that I have recommended my family and closest friends to use you for any of their buying or selling needs.
Please know that as long as you and Paige are involved with Baltimore real estate, you will have my loyalty. Also, please feel free to use me as a reference and have any potential clients contact me directly so that I may share my experiences with them.

- Dear Tim,
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all of your hard work to help sell my home! In a market like todays, I felt nervous about the reality of whether my house could actually sell. Your optimism and enthusiasm always kept my hopes up and also put me at ease throughout the process, and I know it is because of the same attitude that you were able to sell my home in just 60 days! What an accomplishment!
Your professionalism did not go unnoticed, as you always (and willingly) made yourself available and consistently returned messages in a timely manner. It was a delight to work with someone who I could truly count on!
You’re the best!
Thank you

- Aimee and I had found our dream home! Our next step was to sell our townhouse. Tim Kenney was our agent for selling the townhouse. We met with him on June 1st, 2008. He made suggestions of how to effectively sell our house, from pricing to de-cluttering some of our rooms and garage to touching up paint on some of the walls. We were in constant contact with Tim as we prepared our house, listening to his advice along the way, and were ready to showcase the home by June 19th. Tim brought in a couple of potential buyers that week for a preview and the following day, one of the buyers made an offer! It was a pleasant surprise, considering the current housing market. Tim kept us up to date with any issues that arose between the offer and closing on July 25th. He even gave us a home inspector recommendation for our new home and we were very satisfied with his service. He was always available via phone and e-mail to answer all our questions. We want to thank Tim for his patience to all our requests, attention to detail, calm but aggressive demeanor, and persistence with potential buyers. We will definitely recommend him to anyone thinking of buying or selling their home!

- To Whom It May Concern:
The purpose of this letter is to recommend Tim Kenney as a real estate agent. My experience with Tim was extremely positive. He went out of his way everyday to answer all my questions and look for property that met my specific needs. Tim was very precise with his follow up and was diligent about providing all the information I needed to make an informed buying decision. He managed to provide me with all this information without pressuring me into making a decision. All of his hard work allowed me to find the house I wanted at the price I wanted.
Tim also went out of his way to make the buying process very smooth. He was more then willing to take on any responsibility that he could to minimize the amount of my leg work. He even went out of his way to contact various servicemen to handle the issues that I wanted fixed prior to moving into the house. With the hectic schedule my job demands, it was good to have someone I could trust and depend on to handle all the little things that go into buying a house.
The thing that I take away most from my experience with Tim is his honest and low pressure approach to finding me the house I wanted. Tim was very upfront about every detail through the buying process, even some things that caused me to pass on several properties. In today's declining market, I feel that a lot of agents would have told me what I wanted to hear to get me into a house. Time has proven that all the information Tim provided me throughout my buying process was accurate and honest.
For the above reasons, I highly recommend Tim Kenney as a Real Estate agent in the Maryland area. If you have any follow up questions about my experience with Tim, please contact me at 443-605-6140.

- I wanted to take this opportunity to put into writing some details of my experience dealing with Tim Kenney as a buyer’s agent in my first real estate purchase. Tim is so knowledgeable about the Baltimore City market, I immediately felt at ease with him. He never pressured me to begin actively searching for my new home until I was truly ready. Once we began looking, Tim was available to take my calls/ questions any day of the week. If I could not reach him on the first try, he would always return my call promptly. He even prepared an offer for me the same day he was leaving for a vacation. Tim previewed, and was able to rule out some homes that were in my price range, in the desired locations, as he new my time was limited. When we finally found the perfect home, Tim worked tirelessly Saturday and Sunday to prepare an offer. Tim’s negotiation skills impressed me most of all. We were able to convince the seller to concede over 10K in Closing Cost assistance, in addition to including many pieces of furniture. After having our offer accepted, I knew I was in great hands. Tim handled the inspections and loan application process for me with professionalism. Everything went smoothly, which is such a relief because my job requires long hours and takes me away with little notice. Settlement went without a hitch. About 1 month later, after our transaction was complete, I received a phone call from my lender, notifying me of a problem with my government loan. I called Tim, and he handled the situation, telling me not to worry about it anymore. I received an email within 24 hours when everything was resolved!
I would recommend Tim to anyone looking to buy a home. He possesses an incredible knowledge of the real estate market, and as you can see, he goes above and beyond to provide impeccable customer service.

- I wanted to commend Tim on his work in selling my house even in this market. He worked with me on preparing the house for a spectacular sale: resulting in over 40 showings and 4 bonafide offers. The home sold in less than 60 days at my price. His knowledge of the local market, desire to work with me to position the home in this market and his ability to go beyond the call made this sale easier than I had imagined.
All my previous homes were sold through corporate relocations; so I was spoiled. Tim exceeded my expectations.

- I couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Since I was a first-time home buyer, I was a bit nervous in the early stages of house hunting, but Tim was very friendly and accommodating and did not hesitate to answer any questions I had. He had a good feel for what I was looking for and showed me many homes that I loved. He also gave me tons of pointers and advice about house buying and made the whole process comfortable and easy to understand. When we found the perfect house, Tim was able to negotiate $20,000 off of the asking price! If you're looking for the best realtor who will work hard to find you the house of your dreams then Tim is your guy!

- I really couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with in buying my first home then Tim and Paige. During the period of me looking to buy, I was living in Federal Hill, and looking to move to an area with a little more elbow room, yet still close enough to make frequent visits to friends in the city. With the help of Tim and Paige, I narrowed my search for a home to Bel Air, MD, which then required several trips to see available homes in the area. It didn’t matter the time of day, or day of the week, Tim and Paige rarely missed a phone call, always worked with my schedule to make themselves available for appointments, and gave me confidence in knowing they wouldn’t let me make a bad decision. In being a first time home buyer, there was a lot for me to learn about the real estate market, and being as analytical as I was in my search, working with someone who didn’t work hard just wouldn’t have worked out. Here I am today in my new house, and I love it. Thank you Tim and Paige for your hard work, dedication to helping me find a house I am happy with, and for always listening to my specifications. I truly enjoyed the first time home buying experience every step of the way.

- When I began to consider buying a house in Baltimore City, a family friend suggested that I work with Tim Kenney, as he knew the city neighborhoods well and was a respected agent in the area. Therefore, I contacted Tim and we worked together to establish criteria for my house search. After I indicated where I would be interested in looking, Tim presented me with about 10 houses that he suggested we visit.
As we looked at several houses, I could tell that Tim started to develop a better idea of what I was looking to buy. Tim knew of a house in Locust Point that was not on the original list he sent me, but was sure I would like to see based on my comments about other houses we had seen. Tim made a quick call and we were able to tour the house. Tim’s willingness to go out of his way for his client impressed me and also demonstrated to me that he was in no rush for me to buy a house and make a commission, but rather, wanted me to be comfortable and sure in my decision making.
The last house we saw was 1319 Andre Street, which I immediately fell in love with and Tim agreed that, not only was this the best house of the day, but it was also a great deal. I later went on to purchase this house and during the process, Tim was always accessible to answer any questions I had. He was also very patient with me and took the time to explain each step of the buying process so I thoroughly understood. This was especially important to me, since I was a first time home buyer. I also felt very comfortable having Tim represent me and my views to the seller’s agent and the sellers. Tim was a great resource in negotiating the selling price of the house and also the addendum to the contract.
Overall, Tim is an excellent agent. He is a motivated and eager individual, whose priority is to find the best possible house for his clients’ that meets or exceeds their expectations. I would recommend Tim to any of my friends and family, as I think he represents others well and is an asset to have on your side in the buying process.
