Testimonials
Tim provided excellent coordination working with myself (seller), property manager, overcoming tenant's delayed move-out, finding reasonably priced and efficient remodelers and landscapers, insuring they resolved any initial deficiencies, and staging property to get top dollar in sale. I strongly recommend Imagine Realty. I rejected several others, and have worked with others in the past, whose goal appeared to be nothing more than a quick sale. Tim's team at Imagine Realty consistently and successfully pushed for my best interests. - Geoffrey Lyon
We loved working with Tim and Barbara. They were knowledgeable, super responsive and attentive to our every need and request. The home buying experience can potentially be daunting and stressful, especially in this environment, but due to their expertise and guidance, the process became clearer and less daunting. This is even more impressive given that we worked with Imagine on both the sale of our old home and purchase of the new one at the same time! I would highly recommend Tim and Barbara to anyone needing a good realtor and we will forever be grateful to them for helping us locate our lovely new home. - Josie Padilla
There aren't enough words to describe how awesome Tim is! We were reluctant to put our home on the market for quite sometime, however, when we were ready Tim was there. We knew that selling our condo was going to be a challenge and overtime it proved to be so. However, this wasn't a deterrent for Tim as he remained professional, patient, and determined. He had a constant slate of potential buyers lined up to view our home and always kept us updated. No matter what obstacles we faced, Tim found or created a solution and/or strategy. His analytical and critical thinking skills were instrumental in moving the property. Had we not partnered with Tim our home may still be on the market! We also worked with Barbara who was great as well! She was always available to answer our questions and took time to explain things as needed. If you are looking for a strong RE Agent who will have your best interests at heart, Tim is your person! - Nicole Cornejo
If you choose anyone other than Tim and his team (Barbara & Jacqueline) with Imagine Realty, you will be missing out on a stellar, five-star experience! We worked closely with Tim from the get-go and were pleased across the board. He really listened to us, paid attention to what we wanted, and genuinely was a partner in the buying process rather than just a guide and real estate agent. He walked through the entire process with us, and at a time of COVID-19 /Coronavirus that means even more than it normally would. We felt understood, supported, and backed the entire time. With Interest rates being sooo low and available home inventory also being low, it was an unusual market to navigate, and we succeeded with flying colors due to Imagine Realty. Even after having an offer accepted on a property, Tim and Barbara were there 24/7 to answer our questions and address our concerns during escrow and made the entire process a seamless one. Seriously, we cannot thank Tim, Barbara, and Imagine Realty enough for helping us to find and get into our home. Thank you! We appreciate you greatly! You won't go wrong working with Tim and Imagine Realty. - Nick Pagliochini
I had a great experience with Tim and his Imagine Realty team in helping us sell our home! He was very easy to work with, helpful, and attentive. He walks you through the process and eliminates all worries. I was very satisfied with his work and highly recommend him! - Jeffrey Williams
I interviewed several real estate agents prior to selecting Tim and his team. Tim stood out as the only agent that had any idea about market trends. The rest just pulled out a bunch of comps that, by their own admission, didn't fit match our house. Tim, one the other hand, spoke about local market trends and internet marketing. His approach was analytical not just a printout dumped out by some realty company's computer program. Tim and Barbara had to deal with a difficult situation with my divorce as is so often the case of selling a house. I can't tell you how appreciative I am for their consistent professionalism and patience as we got the house staged which lead directly to an offer. And to my surprise, the inspection and escrow was absolutely painless. I was waiting for a huge pile of paperwork but a few e-signatures later and a short office visit was all that was necessary. Selling a house it today's highly volatile and every changing marketplace is not something I would trust with someone just good at sales. Instead, I went with someone of intelligence and someone that understood my needs. I'm very happy about my decision to go with Tim and his team. - Bryan Aamot
As a Realtor myself (Michigan), I always strive to exceed expectations of my clients. Going the extra mile for clients only enhances their experience and provides clients with an opportunity to promote and recommend me to others. Tim Majka was a perfect fit. Not only did he go the extra mile, but his knowledge and expertise in the Lakewood, CA market was spot on! He was very responsive in his communication and I trusted every bit of his advice. I have to plug his assistant, Barb Espinoza, as well. She was fantastic and a HUGE help in putting our sale together. I HIGHLY recommend Tim for all of your real estate needs! - Brad Ditmar, Licensed Realtor (Michigan)
Before choosing Tim we had interviewed a bunch of other realtors. We chose Tim based on his professionalism and commitment. In the end, our home sold within the first week for over asking price and we received multiple offers. Tim really impressed us. We would recommend him to our friends. - Terry Lazar
Tim is a very dedicated real estate professional, even on his wedding day he took time out to ensure that our move in was going smoothly. He brings a wealth of knowledge in real estate and would look to him for any future real estate transaction. - Reymund and Andrea Dumlao
This is my third transaction with Tim. I am not planning on finding another realtor. I am truly lucky that he was working for me. His legal background had me protected on a very difficult transaction - and I never felt like he didn’t have my absolute best interest at heart. Thank you! - William Shaw
The best realtor I could have hoped for. Patient, professional, personable. - Susanna Donovan
Tim is great. I trust him with all of my real estate needs. I used him as my realtor for the purchase of my very first home. Recently, he helped me with the sale of my second home. Tim is not the only realtor that I know. However, he is the most professional and he gets the job done. - Deborah Williams
Tim went above and beyond in helping us to buy our first home. He helped to navigate us through the confusing, ever changing, and sometimes frustrating home buying process. He also helped us get through a nightmarish situation with little inconvenience. Tim will get all our referrals. - Jason & Angela Jackson
Very responsive, supportive and passionate sales team. I worked with Tim remotely from another state on a home sale in Long Beach California. With their help, the property generated multiple offers and was sold expeditiously. - Crystal Ann Mitchell
Tim Majka is always there to help with any questions or paper work regarding my house even after I have purchased my second home from him seven years ago. There is no task too small that he will assist you with. I always hear people saying that after they purchase their home from their real estate broker they never hear from them again. Not with Tim, he is just a phone call away. Weather if it's paper work you don't understand that you receive or need to fill out, or negotiating with the bank to lower your payment. - Irene Swanson
Tim is the most knowledgeable Realtor that we have met. He helped find us find our first home and we purchased it before all home prices went up! When our family grew and it was time to purchase a larger home, we went straight to Tim for home #2. He is skilled at negotiating price and an expertise in real estate. Since he is also an attorney, he is excellent when navigating contracts and escrow. He is patient and will show you around as many homes as you need until you find your dream home! The only Realtor we work with! - Genie Sloan Pena
We have used Tim for two home purchases in the last few years. Our first home purchase took nearly 18 months and involved many offers and negotiations until we finally found the right property. I believe we put in at least 8 offers on 8 different homes until we purchased in Seal Beach. Tim and his team were always there for us when we'd fly in to check homes out and to tour around with us. I found Tim to be not only very patient with us but also very professional, smart and savvy about the market and the neighborhoods we were interested in. Normally I'd say that I'd use him again but we already have used Tim for another home purchase. So I'd definitely use him a third time. - Jackson Shaw
Tim was truly the perfect person to work with us on the short-sale of our condo. It was a very frustrating and disappointing time of our lives and we really needed someone like Tim to come alongside us with his patience and confidence. - Kelly Virtue
Tim was great to work with! Being a first time home buyer I had many questions and didn't really know what I wanted. Tim was very patient as we looked at house after house until we found the perfect one that fit all my needs. His extensive knowledge of real estate and his background as a lawyer were also a huge plus. He worked with me from financing to closing of this long, nerve- racking process and made it actually enjoyable. - Courtney Cook
Tim is absolutely the BEST! We are very lucky to have him helping us in our home buying search. It took us exactly one year from the time we started looking to getting the key to the Condo unit. Our situation is very different from the locals, as I am living in Canada buying a Condo for my son in LA. We started with no experience in the CA housing market, unfamiliar with the local laws, requirements, regulations, and quite apprehensive in this venture. Apprehension is the reason why it took one year from searching to closing the deal. Tim was always very professional in his work/approach - patient and never pushy, responded to our enquiries/questions in detail, called long distance to alert/explain when necessary. He worked hard on our deal even though it was a low budget deal (I have a lot of respect for a real estate agent like that). He gave us the information so we could make decisions. We started with not wanting short sales but with Tim's guidance and hard work, we eventually bought a Condo that was on short sale. I am quite happy with the price paid and my son is quite happy with the unit I bought for him. We cannot say enough good words re our experience with Tim. I know for sure there is no real estate agent like Tim here in Canada! Tim is simply outstanding and the BEST! - Estella Yeung
I would recommend using Tim for all real estate transactions. He has been successful in selling two of my homes. I will definitely call Tim when I am ready to purchase again. - Dana Rogers
Buying my first home from Tim was a great experience. My parents used to both sell real estate and I had a little experience with that world and I have to say that Tim was the best. He also handled the sale of my home and I can't thank him enough for all of the hard work and time he put into the sale (it was a short sell unfortunately). I've recommended Tim to many people and if and when my partner and I decide to buy a home - Tim will definitely get my business! Thanks! - Rick Palmer
Tim is very knowledgable about real estate in the area. He has provided good advice, has guided me to make the best decisions for myself and he has been extremely patient. He's worked with me for over 2 years in helping me decide what to do with my property and eventually ending in short sale. He never made me feel bad about having to do a short sale, and he always had a positive outlook and kept me moving forward. Tim was a lifesaver to me and I am so grateful for his hard work and perseverance. - Kalanie Redmayne
