Tim was amazing.

He was so patient with us and knew exactly what we wanted. As first time home buyers we didn’t know much, Tim explained everything in a way that anyone could understand. He was funny, kind, and always professional. We can’t thank him enough for getting us into our first home.

Adriene (Buyer )

“I can’t recommend Tim highly enough!

We were nervous about the process, but Tim made everything incredibly smooth and stress-free from start to finish. He helped us get into the perfect home in our desired town quickly, even in a competitive environment. He was always responsive—answering calls, texts, and emails promptly, often late into the evening—and patiently guided us through every step, from viewing the property to negotiations and closing. Tim went above and beyond, negotiating a great deal and even connecting us with reliable inspectors and lenders. His professionalism, genuine care, and attention to detail made us feel like his top priority.

BrendanParadis

Tim did a great job when it came time to sell my parents' home.

He was very helpful and knowledgeable in many areas. I've known Tim for over 50 years now and I appreciate him as an excellent realtor and an excellent friend. I would definitely recommend him to my friends if they are buying or selling a home. I plan on using him for other properties that I have when the time comes.

Tim was an awesome realtor, I recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is honest, knowledgeable, professional and friendly.

I think he did a great job throughout the whole house buying process and I would use him again in the future. He made the process easier and straightforward and takes the time to find whats right for you even if it means telling you a place isnt right for you, or multiple. Overall great experience and you cant ask for more than that.

Amazing business

Kimberley Merrifield

To put it simply, if you're not choosing Tim as your real estate agent you made the wrong choice.

If you want someone who's well educated, is available almost every time you need him, and genuinely cares about getting you into a good home then the choice is Tim. I will be recommending him to anyone who is looking for a home in the area.

Alec Douglas

My wife and I were looking for a home during a very tough time, when prices were high and inventory was low.

Tim made sure we didn't overpay for anything that wouldn't have been worth it by looking at properties with the eye of an inspector. He helped us find the right place at the right price, and thanks to him, we've now got our dream home! We're so appreciative for all of Tim and Amy's hard work to get it done.

Adam Newton

Tim Fortin is an over-achieving, hard-working, jack-of-all-trades magician.

From his professionalism and frank honesty, to his compassion and resilience, Tim helped us through our complex situation, guiding and even encouraging when we were starting to lose hope. This is our fourth time working with Tim over the last decade, and we won’t ever work with anyone else. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Emily Mathieu

Thanks for helping us find a home to our new office!

LaRochelle Interiors

Tim went above and beyond to help me sell my late mothers land after her passing, I am grateful for all of his help during a difficult time

Christina Damren

My wife and I have had the luck to have Tim as our realtor on two occasions.

We were able to navigate a complex sell and buy closings on the same day in both Massachusetts and Maine. Tim guided us through both the processes and the transactions were completed very professionally. On our second home sale two weeks ago Tim was again a huge help in finding a buyer of a small camp that had many structural issues. With his help and determination the property was settled, both the buyers and my wife and I were truly grateful for all of his help. We would like to be counted as two of his very happy clients and we do recommend Tim as the best realtor that any client could ever ask for.

Stephen Antonino

Our experience with Tim was absolutely phenomenal.

He communicated with us throughout the entire process of selling our house, and he broke everything down into steps that were simple and easy to understand. He was happy to answer any and all questions that we had, and he patiently adapted his explanations to our level of understanding as needed. Working with Tim absolutely minimized the stress of this process, and his expertise was obvious and made everything go as smoothly as possible. I would enthusiastically recommend Tim to anybody, even first-time home sellers like myself. Thank you, Tim!

Halle James

He did an excellent job assisting in selling my parents’ home as they start a new chapter in their lives.

He’s very punctual and we were lucky to have an experienced agent assist us in this sale. He made everything go smooth. We highly recommend him!

Muriel Freeman

Integrity The quality of being honest and having strong moral principals.

Describes Tim to a T. If your looking for the calm and confident one during the fury of purchasing a home. This is he!

mary moon21

Tim helped us to both buy and sell our first home and to say it was a great experience would be short changing it.

We met Tim at the first time home buyers course and felt that if he was willing to volunteer his time to do that then he would go above and beyond for us as clients. He never treated us like kids and expected us to do our due diligence, but was always willing to answer our questions and provide suggestions whenever we asked and always answered them promptly, something we had found lacking in the other professionals we had attempted to work with. To say the least, as long as he’s in business, Tim will be who we call for any real estate transactions. Thanks Tim!

Dakota & Kathrynne Willhoite

Tim and Amy bring a huge wealth of knowledge for buyers and sellers, from the quality of the building/real estate through the closing process.

They are incredibly hard workers and will help you sell your home or help you buy one.

Lisa Montagna

I have worked with Tim and Amy for several years and find them to be professional, conscientious and truly care about their clients.

I know if we are working on a deal together, I can count on them to be fair and cooperative, while still putting their client needs first. Rare find in our industry, but one I always will be grateful for and look forward to! Congratulations on your new venture!

Tim and Amy are a great duo!

Amy has been by my side through my building process and nothing but excellent!

Seana Starr Bouchard

We have worked with Tim a couple of times now.

When we bought our first house and then when we sold it and bought a new home. Each time we have worked with Tim he has been incredibly professional and helpful. He is very knowledgeable about the housing market and does great research into each home. Tim always makes sure each house you look at has the potential to be a great fit. He is open and honest throughout the process and makes sure you make smart, sound decisions before buying or selling. We greatly appreciate all of his help and would highly recommend him to all potential home buyers/sellers!

Tim Bullard

Tim is the best!

Extremely helpful, kind, prompt, and professional. I feel very lucky to have had his assistance with my purchase.

Kerry Lambertson

Tim Fortin did an amazing job with us!

He made our experience pleasant and fast. He was extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming with any information that was important to us for the smooth closing of the property. We highly recommend Tim Fortin and would contact him in the future if we ever are buying or selling a property. Josh Elliott

Joshua p. Elliott (I)

Tim did a really great job of quickly matching our selling needs with the right buyer (He worked as the agent on both sides of the sale).

He's really good with people and always completed his side of things quickly and more importantly, correctly. Whether you have him assist in the sale or purchase of your next property you are in good hands

Jeffrey Lamar

Not sure where to start.

Our situation is very unique, and Tim stuck with us during the entire ordeal. Tim listened to our needs and requirements, never attempting to convince us to compromise. He was very accommodating with all our questions and concerns. When needing to get hold of him, Tim was very prompt returning calls or messages. Always polite and respectful, Tim is also very straightforward, giving us honest advice, both the good and bad. The requirements for both our sale and purchase was very complicated, and I can only imagine the time and effort needed. Tim never stopped fighting and negotiating for us, and for that we are very thankful,

Michael W (Small business owner )

Tim is an exceptional broker.

Tim is always available day or night and extremely client centered. He helped us navigate the buying and selling process seamlessly and virtually pain free. When we did experience any bumps along the way he made it a priority to instantly take action to ensure that we were going to get a quick solution with minimal inconvenience. Tim is a top notch broker and has a way of treating every client as they are his only one and like they are friends or family. In addition his knowledge of home buying and selling and home construction and conditions are an invaluable asset to clients. Even after the sale and closing we would feel comfortable knowing that Tim would gladly take calls for advice and help in anyway possible. Tim is one of a kind. We will always recommend him and appreciate his help in our experience.

Trevor Field

We have asked Tim to represent us several times over the past 10 years, both as a buyer's agent and a seller's agent.

And as long as he's available, we plan to use him for any future transactions. He is expert at what he does, extremely knowledgeable, intimately familiar with the area, experienced, friendly, and you would be hard pressed to find an agent with integrity, honesty, and ethics more ingrained into their personality.

Randolph M. Jones

Tim has always gone beyond what we expected of a realtor.

We trusted him when we bought our home and knew we wanted to work with him again when selling our home. He is always easy to get ahold of, and he works so hard to help every step of the way when buying and selling. He gives great advice in both arenas, and with the market the way it is today, we're grateful for all the experience he brings to the table. He made sure we didn't overpay or go for a house that wasn't the right fit for us, and gave us advice and references long after we had purchased our home. He offered countless great pieces of advice and looked at every house with a critical eye. When selling, he made sure we did enough to our home to get it listed and looking beautiful without too much stress on our end, and made sure we got the best price we could when selling. Thank you, Tim!

Sara Stryffeler

My fiance and I were first time home buyers with little experience and guidance when starting this process.

Tim spent the time to teach us along the way and "keep it real" with us in terms of what homes were or were not worth it to explore, but also would or would not pass our specific loan. He was kind, thoughtful, and informative throughout the entire process. If we ever decide to sell we will 100% be calling Tim!

Samantha McIntyre

Tim epitomizes the words Honesty and Integrity.

He knows the both the local real estate market and national trends, building codes, and most of all people. Tim has a even tempered demeanor, understands client wants and needs, and seamlessly navigates issues as they arise. Tim has an engaging personality, and a general interest in houses and pays attention to detail.

Jon Mlllett

Tim both assisted with the purchase of a condo, and the sale of same condo five years later.

He was very responsive and I would recommend him. He was very familiar with the community.

annakeller1

This is the second time that Tim has helped us with our Real Estate transaction.

We love Tim and trust him implicitly when it comes to buying or selling . He truly knows the business inside and out and looks out for his clients. If you’re looking for a realtor who will be honest with you even if it’s not something you want to hear … he will always be thinking of your best interest. We highly recommend Tim Fortin .??

Cheryl Farley

Tim is a highly professional and ethical realtor.

He has guided me through two transactions over the last few years and I could not be more impressed and confident that my needs and interests in these transactions were being represented to the highest degree by Tim. You can put your mind at ease when you choose Tim as your realtor, feeling confident you have the best at work for you!

Matt Clancy

Great people to work with, very on top of it, and responsive!

Lori A. LaRochelle

Tim has all the right skill, patience and experience a buyer or seller could want in an agent.

My husband and I sought out Tim to sell a property many years ago that another agent had been unsuccessful in selling and he had the house sold quickly. We returned to Tim for another sale and subsequent purchase recently and learned as much this time around as we did last time. I'd highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a buyer agent or a sellers agent!

Tammy McLaughlin

Tim was introduced to us by a mutual friend and we are quite happy we chose him as the agent to sell our home.

He was very personable and professional to work with and kept us apprised of all the little details. I would highly recommend him whether you are selling or purchasing a home.

Julie Ogg-MacKenzie

I had the pleasure of working with Tim, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-tier real estate professional.

Throughout the entire process, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep market knowledge, and a strong commitment to ensuring a smooth experience. Tim knew more about my house than I did! His communication was outstanding and kept me informed at every step, was always responsive, and took the time to clearly explain options and next steps. Beyond his expertise, he was genuinely pleasant to work with, making the process enjoyable. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, communicative, and reliable real estate agent who truly prioritizes their clients, Tim is an excellent choice.

Bengt Anderson

Tim Fortin really took care of my family during the sale of our long-time family home.

He was keenly aware of the baggage that came with selling a home you spent 50 years in. He priced it right and dealt with all the hiccups that seem to always happen when you buy or sell a home. Even when the buyers side made really dumb moves, Tim didn't panic and kept an even keel, which helped us keep an even keel. If you are looking for a realtor who will treat you right while being completely open and honest, Tim Fortin is the person you are looking for.

Brittany F. (Home Seller and Goddess)

Tim was recommended to me and my partner by Caislean Title and we could not be more happy with the way he works!

Since this is our first home, we went in a bit blind. Tim explained EVERYTHING in detail, and answered all of our calls and questions (even during annoying hours of the day)! Tim does not waste your time, he is very thorough and very knowledgeable.... We would recommend Tim to everyone!

"I have been working with Tim for years. He has been my realtor from the start and I wouldn’t work with anybody else. My whole portfolio has been acquired through Tim. He is very knowledgeable and cares so much to lead his client in the right direction. He also has a lot of experience in regards to inspections. Many times we have looked at homes together and instead of me wasting my $ on an inspection Tim was able to notice things I couldn’t and I was able to walk away without wasting a penny. He’s a great negotiator and has great ethics. It’s hard to find a realtor these days that is on Tims’s level. 5 stars all the way."

"We have used Tim Fortin for the purchase of two homes and the sale of three, and every transaction has been remarkably smooth thanks in large part to his diligence, expertise, and commitment to his clients. After working with Tim through five real estate transactions, I can say without hesitation that he possesses all of the qualities you could want in a real estate agent.Tim’s integrity is exceptional. He is honest, straightforward, and always puts his clients’ best interests first. We have always felt that we could completely trust his advice and knew that he was looking at every situation objectively and thoughtfully.He is an excellent negotiator who knows when to push, when to listen, and when to step back. His ability to navigate negotiations while keeping the process moving forward is impressive.Tim also has outstanding communication skills. He is responsive, thorough, and does an excellent job explaining what can sometimes be a complicated and stressful process. We have always felt informed and confident that nothing was being overlooked.What truly sets Tim apart is the depth of his knowledge and experience. He understands buildings and construction, not simply the real estate transaction. His knowledge allows him to identify potential issues, ask the right questions, and provide valuable insight into a property’s condition and potential. He also has an excellent understanding of evolving real estate markets and how changing market conditions can affect buyers and sellers.After five transactions with Tim, our confidence in him is absolute. His diligence, professionalism, knowledge, and genuine commitment to his clients have made each experience as smooth and successful as possible.If you are looking for a real estate agent with integrity, exceptional communication and negotiation skills, deep knowledge of construction and real estate, and someone who truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Tim Fortin.

"Tim did an outstanding job with the sale of two houses for us and the purchase of another one. Tim gives good advice, navigates any issues. Tim advocates and negotiates very well! Great personality and one of the most moral sales people I've worked with."

"Tim did an excellent job of selling our home. I selected him because he had been the selling agent when we bought it and he was much more helpful than our own agent at the time with questions we had. This was no different. Every question or concern was met with clear explanations and guidance. Tim was quick to respond and flexible to meet all of my needs. Additionally, our sale is due to divorce and Tim navigated that issue expertly and with appropriate sensitivity. I recommend him to anyone in the region."

He always provided timely updates in regards to selling the home and I highly recommend him due to his experience in the field. He truly was the best choice to go with, putting my parent’s anxiety at ease."

"Tim is a wonderful realtor. He is very professional and has a wonderful understanding of the housing market. Tim makes sure to help you find the right home for you and your family and doesn't try to sell you a house just to make a sale. He is very invested in helping his clients find the a home that meets their needs and makes sure to get you the best deal he can. We have used Tim as a realtor each time we have been in the market for a new home. I recommend him to everyone I know who is in the market."

"Tim Fortin recently sold our house, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From the very first meeting, Tim demonstrated deep knowledge of the local Maine market, backed by his years of experience and his background in construction, sales, and marketing. He provided a realistic, data-driven pricing strategy that positioned our home perfectly and attracted serious buyers quickly.What truly set Tim apart was his hands-on approach and calm professionalism throughout the entire process. He handled everything with incredible attention to detail—professional staging advice, high-quality photography and marketing materials, prompt communication with potential buyers and their agents, and skillful negotiation that maximized our net proceeds while keeping stress to a minimum. When minor issues arose during inspections and appraisals, Tim advocated fiercely on our behalf and resolved them efficiently.Selling a home can be emotional and overwhelming, but Tim made the experience surprisingly smooth and even enjoyable. He was always available, responsive (often within minutes), honest, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for us. We closed faster than expected and for a price that exceeded our hopes.If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and results-oriented realtor in the Hallowell/Central Maine area, Tim Fortin is the one to call. He truly goes above and beyond—thank you, Tim, for an outstanding job!"
