While the big real estate teams brag about how big they are, we like to brag about the level of CUSTOMER SERVICE we provide. We are a small husband and wife team who offer BIG results. Angie’s List recently honored The Olson Realty Group with the Super Service Provider Award based on receiving all “A” reviews from clients. Furthermore, we’ve earned all 5 out of 5 star reviews from past clients on Zillow and Google. We offer much more than excellent customer service, we offer proven results! Last year we sold homes for 100% of the asking price in just 8 days, many of which resulted in bidding wars! Enough about us, how can we help you?

LISTING YOUR HOME: Attention SELLERS, Wouldn’t you love to have hundreds of buyers viewing your home and dozens of offers above asking price? My winning formula makes that a possible! My sellers earned 9% more than their neighbors did! Those all A reviews didn't write themselves.

Tim is the best agent we have worked with. We’ve referred him to several friends, and everyone has been very impressed with his services. He is so professional, beyond knowledgeable in this field, and you can instantly tell he is truly passionate about his career. He is so good at making sure his clients are educated throughout the entire process.

Tim is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. We just closed on our new dream home with absolutely no hiccups. He guided us seamlessly through the closing process. In terms of selling our home, Tim and his wife gave us an easy, cost effective to do list in order to get our house on the market. He even went to the hardware store and fixed a broken light fixture we had! Our current home is not the newest house on the block, but with Tim’s aggressive marketing approach, we accepted an offer in just over 2 weeks, and hope to close on that house in the next few weeks. Tim has made a very stressful and frustrating process of buying and selling much easier. If we ever buy and sell, we will definitely be using Tim as our agent, as well as recommending him to all our friends and family!
Description of Work: We are using Tim’s services to both purchase our new home and sell our current home.

Tim is hands down the best realtor I have ever worked with. His knowledge of the area I was looking was above and beyond what I could have expected. Throughout some rather unique situations Tim stayed focused and helped me keep my eyes on the prize. It is because of Tim that I got my dream home. I will never need to find a new realtor. Tim will be mine for life!

I have nothing but good things to say about Tim. I am a first time home buyer, so there was a lot to learn regarding the whole process which Tim helped me with every step of the way. Tim is very educated in regards to the market as well as what to look for in a good home. He was happy to explain anything to me that I had questions about and also gave me honest feedback. So happy to have worked with such an awesome person through this process!

We loved working with Tim Olson when he sold us our first home. Recently we needed to buy a bigger home and knew he was perfect for the job. He helped us every step of the way. He kept us focused on what we were looking for, so we found the perfect home. He then was then able to sell our old house without any concerns and we were able to use our equity to invest and buy our new house. Tim Olson knows the competitive real estate market and we loved our experience with him. Tim Olson is our life-long realtor.

To describe the work ethic of Tim Olson in this review doesn't give him justice! Tim, from the beginning, came to my house with his wife where we made some decisions, took their advice, followed there lead and we listened to Tims plan. We knew right away this is the guy we want working for us! His plan worked, it didn't take long until a bidding war was actually happening and a full price cash offer was accepted! We thank Tim and Grace from their hard work and constant communication throughout the entire process. I would recommend Tim to anybody! Good job!

Tim helped me and my siblings sell our dad's house after he passed away. He sold the house within 2 days for more than the asking price. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and very understanding...especially during a very difficult time. He is easy to communicate with, was always available to address any questions or concerns, and kept us informed. He is a true professional in his field. I would highly recommend Tim for all your real estate needs.

Tim was very helpful in finding me a great home at a price I could afford. He was very professional and punctual when I found something I was interested in seeing. His technology was was great in helping to keep me updated on new homes that met my criteria. Tim was flexible and willing to work with my unique schedule; he was willing to show houses at off hours and on weekends. Tim was very informed about the market and the home buying process. I felt that he supported every decision made and was there to provide insight and share his knowledge of the home buying process and market. I would recommend Tim to anyone looking to buy a home in the metro Detroit area.

Tim was professional, polished and fantastic! He has now handled four real estate transactions for our family, and all went smoothly and ended happily. In each of the transactions, he has acted either as a buyers agent, sellers agent, and transaction coordinator. Tim is such an asset to have on your side. He brings up any possible concerns that a buyer or seller might not notice, and has recommended experts to help us with the process of buying and selling. Due to Tim's outstanding marketing, in the two instances that we sold a home, the home sold at or above asking price within days. I would never think of using another agent.

The house sold very quickly which was great for us and he was wonderful at dealing with interested buyers! The best part about Tim was he replied to texts and calls in a timely manner which is something we were not getting from some other realtors before him.
Description of Work: Tim helped us sell our house! He was very enthusiastic to get our house ready to be put on the market and he was very easy to work with and get in touch with! He recommended a private appraisal which made us much more confident in choosing a price for our house. He organized pictures with a wonderful photographer which helped so much with our listing.

Response from Tim Olson
When this deal almost fell apart due to a clerical error by the Home Owner's Association, I refused to let my client lose this property that he had his heart set on. I did research on recent sales, called other agents, called lenders, asked the association to reevaluate the document they sent and ultimately got the issue resolved.

Tim was professional yet very relateable. He was outstanding in listening to what we wanted. We were first time home-buyers and he really helped us narrow our search. After helping us find the right home, he battled for us to get a fair price. The housing market seemed complicated but Tim helped us negotiate it. One of the best benefits of working with Tim was how easy he made the process. Tim has developed connections for everything you need from house inspector to loan consultants.

Tim is an outstanding real estate agent. Both of the houses he helped my wife and I sell included challenges. Despite the challenges (neighborhood, house age, house size, etc), Tim did an excellent job in marketing, negotiating, and communicating with both the buyers and myself. Tim is very responsive and kept us well informed on the selling process - we always were given updates. Tim encouraged feedback in regard to the houses from prospective buyers and other real estate agents that represented the buyers. He dealt very well with buyers that tried to purchase the houses for less than full value. Tim is very honest and personable. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Tim and will continue to work with him in the future.

Buying our first home with Tim was painless and easy! He showed us homes we were interested in, suggested ones that fit our criteria that we may have overlooked, and he was very aware of similar homes that were for sale/sold in the surrounding area (also punctual to all of our appointments too). When it came time to put together our offer Tim was an excellent negotiator; he got us our home for below market value and was able to get us money off for major repairs found during the inspection. We would recommend Tim for his market awareness, negotiation skills, and professionalism.

Some people crumble under pressure, but it actually brings out the best in me. What a neat experience to be able to sell your home when the moving trucks were already scheduled to come in 30 days. Relocation can be stressful, but good agents will close deals in a timely manner so you can start the next phase of your life, wherever that may be!

Every step of the process was perfect. Tim worked with our schedules to see the houses we were interested in and was extremely knowledgable and punctual to every appointment.
