From local home sellers & buyers

Tim was an absolute gem, helping my wife and I locate and purchase a wonderful new home in Belle Plaine, MN. Tim's responsiveness was unbelievable, typically returning my calls, texts and emails within minutes even late into the evening. He was always friendly, encouraging, and going-the-extra-mile for us. (Tim was highly recommended to us by our daughter in Bloomington, MN, who had utilized his services in purchasing her own home earlier.) We had to do this particular home-search-and-purchase mostly long-distance, while we remained back in Michigan selling and packing up our prior home. When I finally did drive up to MN to view several available homes, time was of the essence, and Tim made himself available immediately to drive the long distances necessary to meet me same-day at each prospective home (like an hour each way from his base in the Mpls. metro area.) The several homes I wanted to see were spread all over a large region south of the Cities and Tim seemed happy to drive to each of them, from Belle Plaine to Northfield and more. There are many experienced, competent realtors out there. And my wife and I are both 65 and have been through multiple home-buying experiences over the years. But this move was an unsought-relocation for us after a traumatic loss in our family (and taking in our 4yo grandson) and we really needed more than an efficient/glossy real estate agent. We needed someone with heart who really took an interest in us and our situation. We were blessed to have found a helper as competent, caring, energetic, and truly "there for us" as Tim Kindem. We highly recommend Tim's services for anyone in search of a new home in the greater Twin Cities area.

Tim was everything we wanted in a realtor and more! As first time homebuyers, we were looking for insight into quality, things to watch out for, and how to negotiate price. Tim was so friendly, always punctual with emails/texts, and easily scheduled another of his realtor friends to show us a property the same day we asked when he already had a showing booked. We found our perfect home after only a month of searching. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a realtor!

If you want an extremely knowledgeable realtor that sometimes answers questions before you even ask, look no further. Tim was able to show us things I would not have even known to look for and overall made the house hunting and purchasing a less stressful experience than I expected.

My wife and I just bought our first home and Tim Kindem and his associates were the most helpful and professional realtors we could have hoped for. He and his team made the entire process as painless as possible and guided us through everything while giving us solid advice. We couldn't have hoped for a better first experience and would definitely use Tim and his team in the future for any other housing needs!

Tim is a great agent! Tim helped us get into our first house 5 years ago. 2 kids later we needed something larger and Tim was there for us once again. With 2 young kids we were most concerned about being able to get the sale and purchase timelines to work out, but Tim had a plan for that. After finding our new house and negotiating $4k off our closing costs, Tim was able to sell our house in just a single weekend. After putting our house on the market on a Friday, we had multiple offers to pick from by Sunday. Tim's plan earned us $28k over our asking price! Our experience could not have been any better thanks to Tim.

Hi have had the best experience with Tim! He has a great pulse on the market and the current trends and does a lot of research that is specific to each of his clients. I will be recommending him to my family and friends!

It is my first house in US and I would have a lot of problem without Tim. First he is incredibly knowledgeable in EACH aspect of process-I asked him million of questions for many small details(I'm from another country and I had no clue about many many things)and he has a lot of patience to answer them. Second he is very diplomatic. And last(but not least;)he is very nice and pleasant person to work with!thank you Tim!

When you’re looking for a realtor with your best interests in mind, you can count on Tim Kindem to be your advocate. His experience, expertise and knowledge of the market will help you reach your objectives for your purchase or sale. Tim not only gives the project all his abundant energy, but he puts his heart into it as well. I highly recommend a call to Tim, even if it’s for a second opinion.

Tim's knowledge and expertise made the sale of my mother's home a trouble free experience! Thanks Tim!!

Tim is a fantastic real estate agent. After helping us sell our house, he helped my family find the perfect home for us in Maple Grove. He negotiated $12,900 off the listed price - and he also got the Sellers to give us an additional $10,560 for our closing costs. We absolutely would recommend Tim!

Tim was outstanding. Always friendly and helpful. He always had our best interests as top priority. Always did the right thing. Can’t say enough about how good he is at his job. My wife and I highly recommend Tim. Thank you Tim.

Tim was great. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He was always flexible with his availability and willing to talk. He helped us navigate a tough buyers market and find a great home. I would highly recommend him.

I can not say enough good things about Tim. After many years of unsatisfactory encounters with multiple real estate agents who came off extremely arrogant and self obsessed (not mincing my words here) - we finally chose Tim because he truly was the only realtor we found in our series of unfortunate encounters, that genuinely put his clients' needs ahead of his own. He was never pushy with any property we looked at but was always there to help answer the multiple rounds of questions we had. Most of all, he went above and beyond during a weird situation that arose during our closing, WITHOUT even telling us, as not to stress us out. Something very grand and selfless, that we learnt from the other realtor at closing. After that experience, we will be using Tim for life for all our real estate transactions.

As a friend first off, business associate and client of Tim and his team I can personally attest that he is the Allstate of Real Estate. You will be in good hands!!

Tim is one of the BEST of the BEST. It was a pure pleasure to work with him on our recent land purchase. He was patient with my many questions! We will definitely be using him for our next purchase. Thanks so much Tim!

Tim did an excellent job selling our uptown duplex! He guided us through some tricky scenarios and got us top dollar for the property! Over asking!

Tim has been my realtor for 4 different real estate transactions. I also referred my mother and sister to Tim for buying and selling their homes (among others) and they've all had great experiences. I really can't say enough good things about Tim Kindem. I've also heard from 3 other realtors on different occasions that Tim is a really good agent, and in such a competitive market that's very high praise. If your considering Tim as your agent, look no further.

Tim was amazing every step of the way. In the price range we had we didn't have a lot of options and he knew how important it was to get in to see them as soon as possible and never failed to us in right away. He was always there when we needed him and would answer every little question we had. We were first timers so there were a lot, and he would always answer questions we didn't even know we had yet so that was extremely helpful. In the end we found a home that we loved and Tim was on it. He helped negotiate over $5500 in seller paid closing costs, a home warranty paid for by the sellers, and many other little fixes we never thought they'd go for. If you want someone who will genuinely be there to help, and will make time whenever you need him, give Tim a call. You won't be disappointed.

I was completely unprepared to sell my home. Life happened and I was operating under a very tight time table. Luckily, I had Tim to help me. You will feel confident and taken care of working with Tim Kindem as your realtor. Tim is the gold standard in real estate. His attention to detail was impeccable, and he consistently made himself available as I lobbed random questions at him, often at odd hours. Tim made a point to curate the absolute BEST photographs of my property as it was being prepped for sale, and navigated my oddball criteria for listing with poise and aplomb. He sold my house in less than 1 day on the market —and accurately predicted what it would sell for after a bidding war. What more could you want? A+.

I was so nervous as a first time home buyer! Tim made the searching, negotiating, and closing process easy and fun! He was very responsive when we had questions, and it felt like he really cared and listened to what we were looking for in a house. If you're looking for a realtor, I would highly recommend using Tim Kindem!

Do you know how people commonly fall in love (platonically) with their midwives? That's how you will feel about Tim and the care he puts into helping you find your new home. He clearly loves his job, and he shows up that way every time. I saw 29 houses in an epic month, and bought lucky number 28. Patience and perseverance must be his middle names! It's a crazy game out there right now, but Tim has your back...he is the best!!

Tim was an incredible realtor to work with. Although my partner and I were first time homebuyers with little experience and lots of questions, Tim was kind and generous with his time and energy. He was knowledgeable, patient, and guiding. He even stuck with us through numerous declined offers an inspection that fell through-all until we found the house that met everything on our list. I know that he will be our go to realtor for any buying and selling in the future. We highly recommend Tim to anyone who needs a realtor and is looking for someone who is kind, patient, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable.

We have had literally years of fits and starts with our decision to buy a place over the last five. We were willing to wait to find one that met every single check box on our "want" list and through it all Tim was always willing to set up a showing and give us a full worksheet of comparable prices, stats, and info. I really can't say enough nice things. I had to text him the night after we closed that even though it took nigh on five years we couldn't be happier. Another thing that is great is that he adapts to how you want to communicate. You a talker? He calls. You a texter? He replies. You an email person like myself? He will do that instead. Anyway, we are calling the the home CasaPocalypse because of the timing. We will be recommending Tim to everyone that wants to look once we are all allowed to do house showings again though.

Friendly, patient and knowledgeable! Tim is the best.

Tim guided my wife and I through our first home purchase and he was amazing to work with. He took care of everything and helped us find the perfect home that met our budget. He negotiated on our behalf and protected our interests at all times. We could not have been happier with his service. Thanks again Tim!

Tim Kindem is Awesome. I recommend him to everyone.

We knew we wanted to work with Tim to help us purchase our new home, but we weren't sure if we wanted to sell or rent out our old home. Rather than push us towards selling, Tim gave us honest, unbiased, no-pressure advice on the pros and cons of each scenario - even though there was no benefit to him if we kept it as a rental. In the end, we decided to keep it as a rental, and Tim was willing to offer us tips to help us with that as well. He is a true professional.

We'd spoken to another agent who told us selling our home wouldn't work out. We spoke to Tim, and he knew exactly how it WOULD work out. He came up with a plan of attack, and within 5 days of being on the market, we had multiple offers, and settled on one that was $8,100 more than our listed price.
