If you’re looking for someone who combines professionalism, tenacity, and a genuine commitment to your success, look no further than Tim Van Damm and his team. They transformed what can often be a stressful experience into one that was not only smooth but also rewarding. Tim brought an impressive level of expertise, market knowledge, and strategic thinking to the table. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a top-tier real estate professional.

Tim Van Damm is a consummate real estate professional, and we recommend him highly. We interviewed several agents, and selected Tim due to his stellar reputation, local knowledge, optimism regarding the sale and listing price, and experience in selling land with permitted, unbuilt projects similar to our own property. Land can be difficult to sell, but Tim was very tenacious and committed to finding the right buyer. His marketing of our parcel, which included a beautiful billboard sign and extensive online marketing, was impressive. We were never pressured to reduce our listing price, and when the right buyer appeared Tim was instrumental in negotiating a higher price than offered.
Tim is also backed up by a great internal team, who like Tim were very communicative and detail-oriented throughout the process, and as we moved through escrow.

We can’t imagine a better ally in the home selling and buying process. Tim Van Damm and his team were supportive, professional, creative, trustworthy, and communicative. They were right there with us every step of the way, and their expert advice was perfect on every decision we had to make. Looking back, I still can’t believe we were able to sell our condo in the timeframe we needed, for over asking price, and were able to move directly into a new home they helped us buy. We are very grateful to Tim, Donya, and Cameron for helping us realize our house owning dreams.

Charlie Cairncross with Tim Van Damm & Associates did a fantastic job from start to finish throughout our entire home buying experience. He was very patient as we viewed properties over several months. He was always punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable. Escrow can be very overwhelming and intimidating, but Charlie's guidance and assistance helped us navigate the entire process smoothly and efficiently. I can't recommend Charlie Cairncross and Tim Van Damm enough!!

Tim Van Damm is a virtuoso of real estate agents! We selected him after interviewing six listing agents and he exceeded our wildest expectations. He is brilliant at marketing and is a natural born salesperson. He was able to sell our home at list price. What was most impressive is how he professionally and diplomatically handled the many challenges that we faced in selling our home during a divorce. He is a genuinely caring human being. He is master of his craft with a soft heart. No wonder he inspires such great work in his team, especially Cameron! I have immense gratitude for Tim and would recommend him without reservation if you are seeking the best real estate agent.

If there’s one piece of advice I can offer to anyone reading this, it’s this: if you’re searching for a genuine real estate agent, charlie cairncross is your man. I think Berkshire Hatheway team is very lucky to have him.
Trust me, I’m someone who dives deep into research and scrutinizes every detail. After all my extensive research and experience, I can confidently say that Charlie was the best agent we could’ve hoped for. I am truly at a loss for words when it comes to expressing my gratitude for Charlie. He embodies everything one could hope for in a real estate professional, going far beyond the typical client-agent relationship. From the moment we crossed paths at an open house, I had an unmistakable sense that Charlie was the perfect person to represent us as we embarked on the journey of purchasing our second home.

His dedication to finding us the perfect house was unwavering, but what truly set him apart was the way he stood by us every step of the way, sharing his wealth of knowledge and expertise. As a third-generation real estate agent, the depth of his understanding and insight into the market is truly remarkable—it's as if the knowledge of generations before him flows naturally within him. He believes in geniune connection, always a phone call away. Unwavering spirit.

Charlie’s familiarity with neighborhoods and properties was nothing short of extraordinary. He had insights and details that went far beyond anything we could have imagined, making the entire process not just easier, but genuinely enjoyable. His ability to anticipate our needs, coupled with his tireless commitment, made all the difference in ensuring we found a home that was perfect for us.

We had a large home for sale in Rancho Santa Fe and Tim represented the Trustee in the context of a bankruptcy sale. On the basic items - getting the property ready for sale, coordinating vendors and marketing the process, he was a pro. Since the sale details had some significant differences to a typical transaction, due to the bankruptcy context, Tim made sure that the buyer's parties were up to speed. With his marketing we were able to have the property sell at auction for a great price and we're glad to have worked with him on this. I would definitely work with Tim on future transactions.

Tim Van Damm and Associates epitomizes excellence in the realm of real estate. After patiently observing the market for years, we cautiously entered the arena. Tim's responsiveness was in stride with the ticking of the immediacy clock which the San Diego market so demands, swiftly presenting a meticulously crafted offer which seamlessly aligned the interests of both parties. So much more than the perfectly crafted paperwork was handled. Tim Van Damm and Associates lit the path so that all aspects from inception to conclusion were expediently handled. Each inspector displayed unparalleled expertise, while Tim's operations team executed their part flawlessly. The wealth of information and recommendations provided by Tim and his team proved invaluable. Throughout the entire process, we were treated as VIPs, experiencing unwavering professionalism.

Indeed, for us, the path to purchase was nothing short of Homeric: in obstacle and …triumph. The Obstacle, on account of our own temperament for trial and error; The Triumph, on account of the expertise of Tim Van Damm and his very capable, informed, and dedicated associates. with creative and sound solutions; there was only “the possible,” there was only “let’s figure it out.” Diligence and knowledge fortify this company. We are blessed to cross the threshold to our new life, with great thanks to the mighty facilitation of Tim Van Damm and Associates.
