Profile:

Buying a home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a burden. Buying or selling real estate should be more like an adventure than a chore. And, like any good adventure, you want a competent guide to lead your exploration through the vast wilds of the real estate marketplace.

Tim Baskin is a real estate professional with over twenty years of experience. Born in Chicago, Tim has lived in California since the 1960s. His adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit has landed him in a variety of exciting roles, from captaining yachts to selling diamonds, before he brought his skills and experience to the real estate industry.

When not selling real estate, Tim enjoys boating, fishing, motorcycle racing and sky diving – a hobby in which he is proud to have logged over 175 jumps! In addition to being a licensed captain, Tim is also a pilot, scuba diver and instructor, safari enthusiast, conservationist, longtime volunteer at the Long Beach Aquarium, and a photographer specializing in nature, wildlife and underwater photography.

Of course, Tim works just as hard as he plays, as his impressive sales record and awards history demonstrate. A dedicated client advocate and expert transaction negotiator, Tim has successfully closed 99% of the escrows he has initiated.

Tim stays abreast of the ever-changing market by reading the latest news and attending industry seminars. A tech savvy professional, he also works closely with the California Association of Realtors to assist in the development of new real estate software. His extensive business background, outstanding communication skills and friendly, people-oriented attitude make him the natural choice for any real estate transaction.

In addition to top-notch internet marketing, Tim offers his sellers an impeccable level of professionalism, a “Right Price” home analysis, a veteran team of professionals to assist with every aspect of the transaction, and a personalized marketing plan that includes consistent advertising, multimedia exposure and close contact with the real estate community.


“I pride myself on obtaining higher prices through creative marketing and professional service,” Tim says. “I don’t just list homes. I sell them.”

Buyers can be assured that they have a dedicated professional working on their behalf. Tim is an expert at negotiating the best price and terms for your dream home, and even offers interviews with lenders to help you find the best available financing. Tim also promises constant updates on the status of your transaction and close association with your every step of the way throughout the escrow process and right up until you are moved in.

“I won’t be satisfied with simply a vague idea of what you are looking for,” says Tim, explaining his detail-oriented focus on client wants and needs. “Through careful listening and astute questioning, I will identify your requirements and create a précis profile of the property you seek. You can be confident that I will give 200% while striving to locate a property perfectly suited to your needs.”
