Timothy Crofton Real Estate

I will strongly recommend Timothy Crofton if you are trying to sell or buy your house. After living in Fremont for 24 years, we knew Timothy Crofton had good reputation so we decided to contact him when we decided to sell our house in Fremont. We are very pleased that we contacted him. Our house was sold $100,000 over the list price a few days after the house was put on the market in June 2014. Before the house was listed on the market, Timothy Crofton's staff prepared our house nicely for the market. Timothy sent his team: interior designer, IT engineer, cleaning crews, gardeners and moving crews to prepare and stage our house for the market. Again, I strongly recommend Timothy Crofton to anyone. more

We sold our house in Mission San Jose, Fremont, and Timothy was my agent. My experience with his staffs and Timothy was way beyond my expectations. Exceptional! To begin with, we interviewed several other agents before Timothy, but they didn't seem to meet our needs. When I talked with him, Timothy clearly explained his plan how to sell my house and timeline. He owns his own real estate company and has own staffs to take care A to Z in buying and selling properties. After initially looking around my house, he suggested to fix one outdated bathroom and repaint interior which cost to us less than $10,000. He also suggested when we should put our house on the market. We followed his instructions. After little renovations, his company sent house cleaners, staging agents, and gardeners to prepare our house for sale. His office staffs ran like a well-oiled machine. Those services by Timothy were for FREE! Every single process was right on schedule. When we put our house on the market, our house immediately became very popular. Without his suggestion on little renovation, we wouldn't have received that much attractions. We ended up receiving more than 20 offers! After selling my house, our search for new home was delayed. He negotiated with buying agent and new buyer and got one month free rent back and another month rent back in a half price. I truly enjoy working with hard-working, competent person. For some reason, it seems to be getting more difficult to find that kind person in most business transactions. But Timothy stood out. He is willing to go the extra mile to do things right. He will work FOR YOU, period. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend him for any real estate transactions. more

I hired Timothy Crofton to sell my house. It turned out to be one of the worst decision I had made. Before we signed the contract, Timothy was polite and returned our phone call right away. After we signed the contract, he hardly returned our calls and we would have to call his office constantly to find out what was going on. Besides, his workers damage our staircase when moving furniture, his cleaners used harsh chemicals and damage our kitchen sink, his unlicensed painter damage our wall and kitchen cabinets, and his contractor charged us almost $500 to install 4 lights. Moreover, we lived in our house for over 10 years and have been very careful not to leave any nail holes on the wall. His designer used 3" nails to hang pictures and managed to leave almost 20 big nail holes in our wall in one day. When I told him about the damages, he just walked out in the middle of our conversation. Not even an apology. After we told him that we wanted to cancel the contract, he copied and sent over other people's contracts (with seller's info on it) to persuade us. This is a serous violation of privacy. When we asked him to give back our house key, he handed us a copy. It turned out that he had made copy of our house key without our consent. He said he had disposed our original key. And he threaten us to take us to court if we write online review about him. My advise is stay away from him. more
