that we had, and he patiently adapted his explanations to our level of understanding as needed. Working with Tim absolutely minimized the stress of this process, and his expertise was obvious and made everything go as smoothly as possible. I would enthusiastically

We have worked with Tim a couple of times now. When we bought our first house and then when we sold it and bought a new home. Each time we have worked with Tim he has been incredibly professional and helpful. He is very knowledgeable about the housing
market and does great research into each home. Tim always makes sure each house you look at has the potential to be a great fit. He is open and honest throughout the process and makes sure you make smart, sound decisions before buying or selling. We greatly
appreciate all of his help and would highly recommend him to all potential home buyers/sellers!
Tim Fortin is an over-achieving, hard-working, jack-of-all-trades magician. From his professionalism and frank honesty, to his compassion and resilience, Tim helped us through our complex situation, guiding and even encouraging when we were starting to
lose hope. This is our fourth time working with Tim over the last decade, and we won’t ever work with anyone else. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Tim is an exceptional broker. Tim is always available day or night and extremely client centered. He helped us navigate the buying and selling process seamlessly and virtually pain free. When we did experience any bumps along the way he made it a priority
to instantly take action to ensure that we were going to get a quick solution with minimal inconvenience. Tim is a top notch broker and has a way of treating every client as they are his only one and like they are friends or family. In addition his knowledge
of home buying and selling and home construction and conditions are an invaluable asset to clients. Even after the sale and closing we would feel comfortable knowing that Tim would gladly take calls for advice and help in anyway possible. Tim is one of a kind.
We will always recommend him and appreciate his help in our experience.
Tim is easy to work with.
Tim is incredible! He is patient, calm, quick to respond, honest, and upfront-all necessary when navigating the hectic and stressful time of buying or selling a house. He advocates for his clients while maintaining a professional environment seamlessly.
“I can’t recommend Tim highly enough! We were nervous about the process, but Tim made everything incredibly smooth and stress-free from start to finish.
He helped us get into the perfect home in our desired town quickly, even in a competitive environment. He was always responsive—answering calls, texts, and emails promptly, often late into the evening—and patiently guided us through every step, from viewing the property to negotiations and closing.

Tim was amazing. He was so patient with us and knew exactly what we wanted. As first time home buyers we didn’t know much, Tim explained everything in a way that anyone could understand. He was funny, kind, and always professional. We can’t thank him enough
for getting us into our first home.
To put it simply, if you're not choosing Tim as your real estate agent you made the wrong choice. If you want someone who's well educated, is available almost every time you need him, and genuinely cares about getting you into a good home then the choice
is Tim. I will be recommending him to anyone who is looking for a home in the area.
Tim Fortin really took care of my family during the sale of our long-time family home. He was keenly aware of the baggage that came with selling a home you spent 50 years in. He priced it right and dealt with all the hiccups that seem to always happen
when you buy or sell a home.
Even when the buyers side made really dumb moves, Tim didn't panic and kept an even keel, which helped us keep an even keel.
If you are looking for a realtor who will treat you right while being completely open and honest, Tim Fortin is the person you are looking for.

Tim went above and beyond to help me sell my late mothers land after her passing, I am grateful for all of his help during a difficult time
Tim has always gone beyond what we expected of a realtor. We trusted him when we bought our home and knew we wanted to work with him again when selling our home. He is always easy to get ahold of, and he works so hard to help every step of the way when
buying and selling.
He gives great advice in both arenas, and with the market the way it is today, we're grateful for all the experience he brings to the table.
He made sure we didn't overpay or go for a house that wasn't the right fit for us, and gave us advice and references long after we had purchased our home.
He offered countless great pieces of advice and looked at every house with a critical eye.
When selling, he made sure we did enough to our home to get it listed and looking beautiful without too much stress on our end, and made sure we got the best price we could when selling.
Thank you, Tim!

Tim was introduced to us by a mutual friend and we are quite happy we chose him as the agent to sell our home.
He was very personable and professional to work with and kept us apprised of all the little details.
I would highly recommend him whether you are selling or purchasing a home.

Tim did a great job when it came time to sell my parents' home. He was very helpful and knowledgeable in many areas. I've known Tim for over 50 years now and I appreciate him as an excellent realtor and an excellent friend. I would definitely recommend
him to my friends if they are buying or selling a home.
I plan on using him for other properties that I have when the time comes.

Tim has all the right skill, patience and experience a buyer or seller could want in an agent. My husband and I sought out Tim to sell a property many years ago that another agent had been unsuccessful in selling and he had the house sold quickly. We returned
to Tim for another sale and subsequent purchase recently and learned as much this time around as we did last time. I'd highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a buyer agent or a sellers agent!
Tim was recommended to me and my partner by Caislean Title and we could not be more happy with the way he works! Since this is our first home, we went in a bit blind. Tim explained EVERYTHING in detail, and answered all of our calls and questions (even
during annoying hours of the day)! Tim does not waste your time, he is very thorough and very knowledgeable.... We would recommend Tim to everyone!
We would highly recommend Tim and his office for any real estate needs. He guided us through the process of selling our properties with the utmost courtesy and knowledge of the area.
This is the second time that Tim has helped us with our Real Estate transaction. We love Tim and trust him implicitly when it comes to buying or selling .
He truly knows the business inside and out and looks out for his clients.
If you’re looking for a realtor who will be honest with you even if it’s not something you want to hear … he will always be thinking of your best interest.
We highly recommend Tim Fortin .??

My wife and I have had the luck to have Tim as our realtor on two occasions. We were able to navigate a complex sell and buy closings on the same day in both Massachusetts and Maine. Tim guided us through both the processes and the transactions were completed
very professionally.
On our second home sale two weeks ago Tim was again a huge help in finding a buyer of a small camp that had many structural issues. With his help and determination the property was settled, both the buyers and my wife and I were truly grateful for all of his help.
We would like to be counted as two of his very happy clients and we do recommend Tim as the best realtor that any client could ever ask for.

We have asked Tim to represent us several times over the past 10 years, both as a buyer's agent and a seller's agent. And as long as he's available, we plan to use him for any future transactions. He is expert at what he does, extremely knowledgeable,
intimately familiar with the area, experienced, friendly, and you would be hard pressed to find an agent with integrity, honesty, and ethics more ingrained into their personality.
Tim epitomizes the words Honesty and Integrity. He knows the both the local real estate market and national trends, building codes, and most of all people. Tim has a even tempered demeanor, understands client wants and needs, and seamlessly navigates issues
as they arise. Tim has an engaging personality, and a general interest in houses and pays attention to detail.
My fiance and I were first time home buyers with little experience and guidance when starting this process. Tim spent the time to teach us along the way and "keep it real" with us in terms of what homes were or were not worth it to explore, but also would
or would not pass our specific loan. He was kind, thoughtful, and informative throughout the entire process. If we ever decide to sell we will 100% be calling Tim!
Tim is the best! Extremely helpful, kind, prompt, and professional. I feel very lucky to have had his assistance with my purchase.
Tim helped us to both buy and sell our first home and to say it was a great experience would be short changing it. We met Tim at the first time home buyers course and felt that if he was willing to volunteer his time to do that then he would go above and
beyond for us as clients. He never treated us like kids and expected us to do our due diligence, but was always willing to answer our questions and provide suggestions whenever we asked and always answered them promptly, something we had found lacking in the
other professionals we had attempted to work with. To say the least, as long as he’s in business, Tim will be who we call for any real estate transactions. Thanks Tim!
Tim did a really great job of quickly matching our selling needs with the right buyer (He worked as the agent on both sides of the sale). He's really good with people and always completed his side of things quickly and more importantly, correctly. Whether
you have him assist in the sale or purchase of your next property you are in good hands
Tim was an awesome realtor, I recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is honest, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I think he did a great job throughout the whole house buying process and I would use him again in the future. He made the
process easier and straightforward and takes the time to find whats right for you even if it means telling you a place isnt right for you, or multiple. Overall great experience and you cant ask for more than that.
My wife and I were looking for a home during a very tough time, when prices were high and inventory was low. Tim made sure we didn't overpay for anything that wouldn't have been worth it by looking at properties with the eye of an inspector. He helped
us find the right place at the right price, and thanks to him, we've now got our dream home! We're so appreciative for all of Tim and Amy's hard work to get it done.
Thanks for helping us find a home to our new office!
Amazing business
Tim and Amy are simply amazing!! I had the privilege of working closely with them for 3 years in my position as Agent Relations Manager at another company. They are fun, energetic and make the home buying/selling process a smooth one for their clients.
I received many wonderful reviews from their clients about their communication and attention to detail and how they made the whole experience so smooth!
I have worked with Tim and Amy for several years and find them to be professional, conscientious and truly care about their clients. I know if we are working on a deal together, I can count on them to be fair and cooperative, while still putting their
client needs first. Rare find in our industry, but one I always will be grateful for and look forward to! Congratulations on your new venture!
Amy and Tim are among the best agents out there. Great communication, extremely flexible, and very knowlwdgeable. They will listen to you and accomodate all your needs whether you are buying or selling a home!
Tim was a pleasure to work with. He made the process painless and quick. He knew when to act and when to wait and being a first time home buyer he was always there to answer any question I had during the process. I thank Amy and Tim for getting me into
my beautiful home!
Integrity The quality of being honest and having strong moral principals. Describes Tim to a T. If your looking for the calm and confident one during the fury of purchasing a home. This is he!
Tim both assisted with the purchase of a condo, and the sale of same condo five years later. He was very responsive and I would recommend him. He was very familiar with the community.
Great people to work with, very on top of it, and responsive!
Tim and Amy are a great duo! Amy has been by my side through my building process and nothing but excellent!
Tim helped us get a beautiful home. He was always a phone call away and super flexible in working with us to see all the houses we wanted. His wealth of knowledge of the process, homes, and the area made it easy for us. His services come highly recommended.
Tim and Amy bring a huge wealth of knowledge for buyers and sellers, from the quality of the building/real estate through the closing process. They are incredibly hard workers and will help you sell your home or help you buy one.
