Bio
My name is Jeff Timmons and I have lived in Maryland my entire life. Before becoming a real estate agent. I worked in HVAC and plumbing and was an operator for a chemical manufacturer. I bring my inside knowledge of homes to help YOU when buying or selling your home.
I am very determined and head strong, sometimes to a fault, but I do not give up. I believe you’re only as good as your word and my focus is always on speaking positivity and solutions.
When I am not doing real estate, I enjoy weight lifting and working on cars, motorcycles, or anything with an engine. I love playing video games with my children and taking them out to experience fun activities. I work hard for my family every single day, and I will work hard for you too.

"This may not be everyone’s opinion, but when you’re choosing a surgeon, the one who’s “Insta-famous” for funny posts is not the one I want operating on me. I want the one who’s focused on their craft, not their follower count. Same goes for realtors IMHO.
There are realtors—the sales reps —and there are REALTORS—the ones who actually care, think, and do the work. John is a REALTOR. The kind of … Read Moreagent your dad would want you to have. Hands-on - you won't get handed off.
It is clear he is not chasing a commission. He’s focused on you getting what you truly want, even when you thought you already knew what you wanted. He literally saved us from buying a house we would have regretted. That is priceless.
John asks real questions, super-smart (yes ok funny too), gives real guidance, and isn’t obsessed with volume. He’s about the quality of his work and the integrity of the process.
If you want to feel like someone has your back, and truly knows the market - call John. I'm so happy to have found him and have him in my corner." Read Less

"In my book, Kelly Wise was the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. She knew the market and helped us successfully sell our father’s house.
