About

Meet Tim.

A decade of representing buyers and sellers across the Bay Area's most competitive markets. Tim built McMullen Properties to do real estate the way it should be done: vertically integrated, deeply technical, relentlessly direct.

The Story

From side hustle to $5M neighborhood records.

Tim started in real estate the way a lot of people do: representing a friend. The friend wanted to sell. Tim ran the comps, took the photos, wrote the listing, negotiated the offer. The house sold for over asking. The next friend called. Then the next. Then the next.

Ten years later, McMullen Properties has closed over $115 million across the Bay Area, from Pacific Heights condos to a $31M Tahoe estate, with neighborhood price records in places like South Los Altos. The repeat-business + referral rate sits above 80%.

What makes the difference isn't a bigger brokerage or a deeper marketing budget. It's vertical integration. Tim's spouse is a practicing real estate attorney, which means every disclosure package gets a real legal review — not a glance. Tim works directly with stone, cabinetry, window, and door factories in California and overseas, which means clients pre-renovating to sell can save 40% or more on luxury finishes. And every single listing gets a custom-built marketing page with drone footage, twilight photography, neighborhood video, and a direct private-network preview before going public.

The result is a track record that doesn't look like a typical Bay Area agent's. Properties don't sit. Buyers don't get outbid by 50%. Sellers don't leave money on the table. And the numbers that keep coming back — 103% of list on average, 1-day open houses with 75 buyers through, $2,043 per square foot for a 5BR home — tell that story better than any of this copy can.

Tim brings intangible skills that other agents simply do not possess.

What makes the difference.

Four things you won't get at the brokerage down the street — not because they're a secret, but because they're vertically integrated under one operator.

01

An attorney at the table.

Every disclosure package gets a deep legal review, in-house. We're not glancing — we're spotting what other agents miss: easement quirks, seller-disclosed defects buried in 200-page packets, NHD callouts that affect insurability. You write your offer knowing what you're buying.

02

Factory-direct finishes.

Tim works directly with stone, cabinetry, window, and door factories across California and overseas. For sellers prepping to list, that means luxury finishes at 40% below contractor pricing. For buyers planning a renovation post-close, same deal — with the supply chain already wired.

03

Custom marketing per listing.

No template flyers, no MLS-default photo. Every property gets a dedicated marketing page with twilight photography, drone footage, video walkthroughs, neighborhood lifestyle content, and a private off-market preview before public launch. Buyers see your home the way it deserves to be seen.

04

Negotiation built on data.

Comps aren't a checkbox. We pull the last 24 months of transactions in your subject street, isolate by year built, lot size, view, and floor plan, and walk through every relevant data point with you before writing a number. The result: 103% of list on average, often without contingencies.

Real estate isn't a transaction. It's a high-stakes negotiation with someone's home or future on the line, run on incomplete data, against a clock. The job of an agent is to make sure the data is complete, the clock is on your side, and the home is the right one.
