Client's Success Stories
Testimonials
"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. If you are beginning the process right now, and you want a friendly, honest, knowledgeable agent, you need to contact Carolyn. I know I will if I ever decide to move." Read Less

"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. Properly pricing a high end home, when few local comps are available, is always a challenge. Jason was thorough in his research and helped us set a price that was market appropriate. He also quickly brought a qualified buyer to us and worked wi… Read Moreth the buyers agent to negotiate a deal that satisfied both parties.

"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. She went above and beyond expectations and I will always recommend her services." Read Less
Client
"I would highly recommend Timmie. She helped us buy a house that was for sale by the owner. Transactions like these can often be complicated because there is not a professional on the other side, but Timmie worked tirelessly to ensure that we got our dream home. She was a strong advocate for us during the home inspection process and negotiated a very fair price for our house. We are so lucky to hav… Read Moree had Timmie represent us. When making a purchase as big as a home, it was a relief to know that we had someone we could trust in our corner. I would recommend anyone use Timmie. She is hard-working, responsive, and most importantly, trustworthy!" Read Less
Client
"Timmie was amazing to work with. We really appreciated her insight and communication during the process. Especially since we received multiple offers. We felt that she was working for our best interest throughout the whole process. If you want a Realtor® who has excellent communication and understands the market, look no further. Highly recommend Timmie Taff!"
Client
"Timmie has helped me with three real estate transactions, and we're working together on a fourth. She has a thorough knowledge of the Baltimore area, is attentive to details, and is very responsive. She communicates well, and even during busy times she's staying in contact and makes sure everything is on track. I have recommended her to other friends who have also been happy with her work, and wil… Read Morel continue to recommend her to others - she's great!" Read Less

"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

"As an agent in NJ , I’ve recommended Laura in
the past for my daughter and son in law’s
house. Her work ethic and attention to detail

"We sold two houses and bought one during the past year; Shari was our realtor for all three transactions. An experienced realtor, Shari is very knowledgeable about what it takes to sell and to buy a home. She carefully guided us through each transaction with patience and a huge amount of her time, answering all of our questions along the way. For our two sales, she led us through the maze of prepp… Read Moreing and listing a property, evaluating offers and ensuring that we were ready for settlement. As anyone buying a property these days knows, finding a house, preparing an offer and getting it accepted is a grind. Shari listened to us, recommended homes that were right for us and made certain that our offers were reasonable and complete. Shari's vast experience helping clients sell and buy homes in central Maryland has other benefits: she knows houses and this area so well that she will provide answers to questions you didn't even know to ask about your new home and your new home town."

"Mindy was an excellent realtor for the sale of my home. She was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and always stayed on top of everything. The sale of my home was complicated, but she saw me through with flying colors. I highly recommend her as a realtor and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again"
