Bio
After many years of living in New York City and later Maplewood, New Jersey, I moved back to my native Baltimore in 2019. Trained as an interior designer, and having worked for several New York based top residential designers, I am well versed in space planning, construction, and finishes. Having successfully flipped some of my own homes in New Jersey, I have a keen eye and clear sense of potential with older properties requiring updating for 21st century living.
Having initially settled in Dickeyville, restoring a home that had been vacant for several years, I sold that property and bought a 215-year-old Federal townhouse in Mt Vernon, which is slowly being restored. There is always something that needs to be done in a house over 200 years old, and it’s a privilege to be a steward for this home to ensure it remains for future generations.
Having sold real estate for a little over a year, it’s great applying my knowledge and love of old houses so that I can help clients find their own dream home. It would be an honor to be of service as I help you find your special place in one of Baltimore’s many fantastic neighborhoods!

Testimonials
"Peter recently sold my home in the Glen Arm area. We called him up because he had previously sold another home on our block, so he knew the area very well. We interviewed two other realtors. We picked him because we were impressed with his area knowledge and go-getter attitude. He helped us to stage the house so it could look as appealing as possible. He helped us set a price that was just right f… Read Moreor a relatively fast sale. He was extremely knowledgeable of local contractors who could help us with needed repairs and upgrades.

Berrin & Eric.
"Peter treated us like VIPs. He was always available if we had any questions or concerns, and made the sale of our home seem easy and low-stress. He took plenty of time to explain all the steps of the sale to us and to see the entire process through. He had great knowledge of the markets, local area - and priced our home fairly.

"Always available and quick to respond and answer any concerns. Very pleasant to work with. We searched quite a bit and I seemed to be always a day late due to contracts, Carolyn kept us going forward and collectively we found the perfect place for me. Carolyn is 100% about her client and will not settle for less than perfect for her client no matter how long or whatever it takes."
Michael Boughan
"As a first time homebuyer, Carolyn made the experience easier and more stress free than I could possibly imagine. A previous Realtor made me feel like a burden, that they were doing me a massive favor, and this turned me off to the entire process for a few years. Not so with Carolyn. She answered every text, email, and phone call near-immediately, was extremely helpful and answered every question … Read MoreI had. Not to mention how incredibly friendly and honest she was. I never felt like I was being taken advantage of as a buyer, or that she was forcing me into a purchase or decision.

"Results. In the end, isn’t that what we’re seeking when we select a Realtor? Jason Forry certainly produced for us in that regard, and in a timely fashion.

"We just closed on our dream house and much of the credit for that goes to Jason Forry. We were looking to build and he helped us find the right property, the right builder and even helped us with some critical layout/mechanical points as we designed our new house.

"Timmie was by far the best part of our home buying experience. I honestly don't know how we could've gotten through it without her! She was knowledgeable, approachable, friendly, and always professional. She provided helpful and sound advice on market trends and was always honest with us when we asked (many) questions. It was because of her and her honesty that we were confident in our investment.… Read More She always put our minds at ease and made the entire process seamless.

"I would highly recommend Timmie. She helped us buy a house that was for sale by the owner.

"Timmie was amazing to work with. We really appreciated her insight and communication during the process. Especially since we received multiple offers.

"Timmie Taff is a great seller's agent and I highly recommend her. She was the second agent I hired to try to sell my house and the contrast between her and my prior agent was like night and day. She is responsive, knows how to set appropriate expectations and sale prices, does her homework regarding comps and market conditions, is honest, realistic, communicative, and an advocate for you as a sell… Read Moreer. She has all the qualities you want in an agent, is clearly experienced, and was also great with giving me referrals for services I needed to get my home ready for showing. Timmie was recommended to me by a colleague who I trust very much, and I couldn't have made a better choice. With Timmie, my home had more than one offer (within the first 30 days of being on the market) and I was able to close less than 90 days after listing. Lastly, the home selling experience is a difficult one; with showings, feedback from potential buyers, waiting for offers, inspections, and appraisals, it can be draining. Timmie demonstrated a lot of emotional intelligence and empathy throughout the process. It was very easy and also comforting to work with her. If you're going to sell your home in Baltimore and want an agent who knows what she's doing, is responsive and is committed to you, go with Timmie Taff." Read Less
