What Most Agents Miss.
What Tim Doesn't.

Selling near Notre Dame isn't like selling anywhere else. Timing, tenant rules, and buyer psychology are completely different here.

📅

Game-Day Timing Strategy

Alumni and investor buyers get emotional around football season. Tim knows exactly when to list to capture that energy — and when waiting costs you money.

📋

HOA & Rental Rule Expertise

Buyers near ND ask hard questions about rental caps and HOA health. Tim pre-empts every objection with documentation — so deals don't fall apart at inspection.

🎯

The Right Buyer Pool

Not every buyer fits every property. Alumni want game-day access. Parents want proximity. Investors want ROI. Tim markets to the profile that pays the most for yours.

🏘️

50+ Years of Neighborhood Intel

Tim can tell a buyer which streets flood, which complexes have reserve fund issues, and where the next development is going. That knowledge keeps deals together.

📸

Presentation That Stands Out

Professional photography, compelling listing copy, and targeted digital marketing to out-of-town alumni and investors who aren't browsing Zillow from a couch in South Bend.

🤝

No Pressure. No Games.

Tim's job is to give you the information you need to make a confident decision — not to push you into a listing before you're ready. The right timing matters more than a fast commission.

How the Process Actually Works

No mystery. No pressure. Just a clear path from "thinking about it" to closed and done.

1

Get Your Real Number

Fill out the valuation form below or call Tim directly. You'll get a data-backed price range — not a flattering estimate designed to win your listing, and not a lowball designed to sell fast. Just what the market actually supports right now.

2

A Conversation, Not a Pitch

Tim walks you through recent comparable sales, active competition, and what the next 60–90 days look like for your specific property type and zip code. You decide what to do with that information.

3

Prep & Positioning

Professional photography, optimized listing copy, and a marketing plan tailored to the buyer most likely to pay top dollar for your property — alumni, parents, or investors. Not a one-size-fits-all blast.

4

Strategic Launch & Negotiation

Tim chooses the listing date with intention — accounting for the Notre Dame game schedule, graduation weekends, and move-in cycles. When offers come in, he negotiates from a position of knowledge, not urgency.

5

Closed. Clean. Done.

Tim manages every detail through closing — inspections, HOA documentation, title, and final walkthrough. Most out-of-town sellers never need to set foot in South Bend more than once.

Before You Decide,
Consider This.

These aren't trick questions. They're the same ones Tim asks every seller in the first conversation — because the answers change everything about strategy, timing, and price.

  • If you knew your property would sell for 8–12% more by listing in March vs. August, would that change your timeline?
  • What would you do with the equity — and does that next move have a deadline that's driving this decision?
  • If the first agent you talked to gave you a number $40K higher than market, would you know the difference?
  • Most sellers near Notre Dame leave money on the table by not understanding who their buyer actually is. Do you know who's most likely to pay top dollar for your specific property?
