I would avoid working with Tim and his team under all circumstances. I purchased a home that he was listing. During the process he failed to take basic care for the property's security (and displayed his ignorance about basic security measures while selling). He was then deceptive and failed to disclose crucial information about these security issues while we were under contract. There are so many other wonderful agents in Seattle to work with who have more ethical business practices. read more

Tim Lenihan and his associates are the best real estate people you can work with. They are attentive, go the extra mile and provide professional amazing service in everything they do! read more

I highly recommend Modern Den for selling or buying a home. This is now my second dealing with this team and both experiences have been great. Tim and Jill know the Seattle market better than anyone else, especially the Queen Anne neighborhood that we bought and sold a house in. They understood the prices ranges and listing strategy was sound. Modern Den has established relationships with many other brokers in the area which helped when it came time to list and get promotion of our house. They have strong relationships with suppliers and local companies to upgrade yards, interior and exterior places of the house. The years of experience and network that Tim and Jill leverage will put you in the best situation. read more

I can't recommend the Modern Den team enough - huge thanks to Tim and Jill for landing me my first home in an incredibly competitive market in early 2022! I was referred to Tim by my brother who has worked with him on buying/selling three homes in Seattle. As a first time homebuyer I'm thankful to have been able to work with a team that is incredibly knowledgeable on both real estate and construction, able to quickly develop strategies in response to market changes, and took a personal approach to understanding what mattered to me most. They were supportive and patient in guiding me through the process - I never felt pressure and they always made me feel like the top priority was to end up in a place I really love. In addition to cultivating great relationships with their clients, this team is well connected and respected within the Seattle Real Estate industry. I trust them completely to know how to best navigate negotiations and identify opportunities. In the end l got a fantastic deal on a home in a market where that was incredibly rare - I truly don't think that would have been possible without them. I'm so happy with the results and plan on Tim & his team to be my realtors for life. read more

Tim has helped us buy two homes and sell two homes in the last five years. The most recent transaction happened while we were living abroad, and Tim and Jill went on a wild goose chase for us, taking us on tours virtually, to land our perfect home on the Eastside. He could've been done with us early on in the process, but insisted that we be patient and wait for the right home before making an offer. We highly recommend him! read more

Working with Tim and his team was an incredible experience and selling our home while buying another couldn't have gone better. Tim is a great listener, willing to accommodate any need, and goes the extra mile to maximize your selling potential. We had worked with Tim 10years prior and knew we would be in good hands when selling our house. Tim met with us on an early afternoon to walk through our house and to understand what our plans were. We had intended to sell our house in Queen Anne and move to Newport Beach, CA. We had just completed a major remodel but still needed a lawn, fence, and plants, and a deck off the kitchen. Tim assured me this would be no problem and that he'd have our house on the market within one week. This included having stagers prep our house, cleaners, photography, drone pics, along with all the landscaping, deck, and fence. True to his word, Tim and his team delivered every detail. Within a day the lawn was in. Two days later the fence was done. Three days after that the deck had been completed. All the while we had just put an offer down on a place in Newport Beach, so selling was critical. Our house listed that next week, and within 36 hours we had four offers. We sold the house that night and Tim stayed connected with us throughout the entire process, up through the closing of escrow. Tim and his team are the best realtors in the Pacific Northwest and anyone would be lucky to have him working for you. read more

See all

I can't recommend Tim and his team enough. To put it plainly, I'm a bit of a nightmare real estate client - indecisive, inconsistent, overly analytical, the list goes on (my Yelp score would not be good). Tim was never the least bit put out, and ALWAY made time for us! Thing I'm lying? He helped us with a home buying search that took almost two years! (we made it take this long, not him). He was never impatient, always really took the time to understand what my goals were, and helped put in place buying and selling plans that were catered to my needs AND well tuned to the market. It really showed a great mix of compassion and smarts. When it came time to buy, we found a house that we loved but had a very short turn around - we had to put in an offer in under 48 hours. In this time not only did Tim help us put together a competitive offer (we won a bid-off without breaking the bank), but he also got us a pre-inspection and a sewer scope, it was unreal. When it came time to sell, the market had started to cool off, and we had a lot of local competition. Tim put together a plan that helped us maximize what the market we were facing, and pulled it off without a hitch. In the week leading up to the sale, he and his team worked multiple miracles getting minor maintenance issues address and more. Here is a great example of "more". The property we were selling needed to be staged. Unfortunately the stager forgot a few key pieces of furniture. There wasn't time for them to fix it, so Tim's team member Jill drove her own newly purchased furniture to our house and used those for our staging - without out us ever even finding out there was an issue in the first place! That was one of so many examples it's hard to list them all. Tim and his team really are great. read more

My wife and I were referred to Tim three years ago to help us purchase our first home together as newlyweds. We had an excellent experience with Tim, who guided us through the process in a very difficult market. We ended up winning the house we wanted even though there were a few higher offers. Tim's experience and knowledge in negotiating a home purchase is the only reason we got an amazing deal, or the house for that matter at all. Buying a home is stressful, however my wife and I both agree that Tim took as much of the stress away possible in any purchase. We were always informed verbally and in writing of every step of the process. We never felt like customers, it felt like having a great friend making sure your getting taken care of. Recently the housing needs of our family changed and we decided to sell the same home. We were dreading the process of getting the home ready for sale while also preparing to move. We also had no real idea what we could ask for the house. We called up Tim, and he came right over. After a few days of researching and calling other agents Tim took us through what he thought the house would sell for and we agreed to list it. I expressed to Tim that I didn't have a lot of time to get the landscaping and some minor repairs done. Tim told me to get everything out of the home, and he would take care of it all, and to literally don't stress a moment about it. Tim took a lot of hard work right out of my hands which made the move so much easier! My wife and I were blown away at the professional crew Tim brought in during the next two days. As promised, Tim handled everything and ahead of schedule. The house looked amazing. During the snow storm Tim even came out and shoveled out the long driveway himself. During this time Tim was also marketing the property and calling prospective buyers while setting up for the listing date. During the process we would receive a call or email daily letting us know what was going on. My wife and I were mentally prepared for the actual process to take 1-3 months and to either accept less then asking or make concessions at closing. We had no idea what kind of frenzy Tim had created! Unknowingly, we were in for one heck of a fun day on listing day. The house went on the market and within a few hours we received a notification that our house was the most likely home to sell in Linwood. A few min later Tim called saying the house was packed with buyers and two offers were already coming in. Tim handled the negotiations and worked us into a higher then asking price. We were thrilled and wanted to pull the trigger. Tim advised us to be patient and use the time in the offers to see if anything developed. Sure enough, a third buyer came in a few hours later. It's always inspiring to watch a professional at the top of their game in action. Tim handled the three buyers and drove the price up to about 14k over asking price and got the inspection waived. As a professional salesman myself I can only say that after observing Tim negotiating the purchase and later the sale of a home, I would not want anyone beside him to negotiate a property on my behalf. The house closed on time and as smooth as possible. The service we received during and after the sale was top shelf. We give Tim Lenihan @ windemere our highest possible personal, and professional endorsements. Mr. Lenihan in my opinion is the Nordstrom of real estate agents. After our experience with him and his crew we can't imagine using anyone else. Thank you Tim! We are so thrilled and happy! Rex & Liz- read more

Tim and his team did a fantastic job for my family and I through buying our new home in Ballard and selling our condo on Capitol Hill. Tim was always quick to respond to any question we had and was active in following up on any lead. After we got into our new place he quickly got our condo on the market and sold. I could not be happier with the experience and would recommend Tim to any family member or friend who was looking for an agent. read more

We had the easiest and most pleasant (!) home selling experience thanks to Tim and his entire team at Modern Den. He definitely has an eye for what sellers want and all we basically had to do was declutter and put stuff in the garage. His team handled the rest. It was amazing. In the end, he negotiated an exceptional deal and put our needs first when it came to the contract. I didn't really get the appeal of a real estate team concept. But after experiencing the difference with working with 1 agent vs. working with a group like Modern Den, I'm not going back. We'll be calling Tim when we sell in 15 years. read more

Tim and his team are the best. We had complete trust in Tim's advice throughout the purchase process and strongly recommend him to any home buyer. He is patient, quickly understood exactly what we were looking for, and knows the market inside and out. Buying a home in this hot Seattle market was much less stressful with Tim guiding us along the way, and he ultimately helped us put together an offer on our dream home that beat out eight others, including two others at the same price! read more

Working with Tim on our recent house purchase was a great experience. Tim and his team member Jill were very professional and easy to work with, and they clearly have a ton of experience which came through in the very helpful advice they gave along the way. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and Tim was always readily available (via text or phone call) to provide his advice. Also, he and Jill always accommodated our schedule, which made the process really convenient for my husband and me. On top of everything, Tim and Jill are super personable and easy to communicate and work with, which made the process all that much more smooth and enjoyable. The house we purchased was a new construction which required a lot of regular communication and appointments with the construction company/builder, and I truly felt Tim was an advocate for us throughout all of those interactions. Highly recommend working with Tim and the Modern Den team! read more

I can't wait to work with Tim on my next real estate transaction!!!...,Yep! He is a gem, I have nothing but great things to say about how he conducts himself and I give him a platinum rating on every front. Mine was a unique, challenging, stressful real estate situation; I found his research, information, market knowledge and advise totally spot on. Tim walked me through every step, pinch hitted for me when needed and worked tirelessly to have the process go more smoothly than I ever could have ever imagined. I highly recommend him as a good natured man of integrity with a rock solid work ethic. Tim Rocks! read more

My husband and I recently worked with Tim Lenihan and Jill Rotset of Windermere Midtown. Our experience was second to none, from start to finish. Tim and Jill made the process seamless, they understood what we were looking for and executed beautifully. Their attention to detail, knowledge of the market and genuine care was evident every step of the way. We felt completely at ease and formed an immediate trusting relationship during our transaction. Thank you Tim and Jill for finding us our forever home. We could not be happier with our home purchase and your expertise made it possible. I would highly recommend this team to anyone selling or buying a home. read more

Tim and Jill were simply amazing to work with and extremely patient with me while I worked through discovering what I truly wanted for my first home. As a first time buyer I didn't really know what I wanted when I started my journey and the team did a great job of being my trusted advisor by guiding, recommending and educating me throughout the process but allowing me to come to conclusions and decisions without feeling pressured. Tim's knowledge and understanding of the Seattle area Real Estate market and negotiation skills are unmatched. I truly enjoyed working with them both and highly recommend the Modern Den team for your next home purchase. read more

We met Tim at an open house about 11 years ago when we were tossing around the idea of purchasing a house. We really liked him and he seemed to really know his stuff, so we decided to use him as our agent to help us find a house and sell our condo. We got the house we wanted and the condo sold shortly after. It was all surprisingly smooth. Since then we have recommended him to friends and family and they have also been extremely happy with him. Our most recent dealing with Tim was this past September. We were building a house in another city that was nearly finished and my husband had just accepted a new job. All this amid the pandemic made it somewhat of a stressful situation. We contacted Tim to sell our house. He basically took control, so all we had to focus on was our move to the new house. It made things so much less stressful. Our house sold after only 4 days on the market! I would highly recommend Tim for both selling and buying. He is awesome at what he does and is just a really great guy. read more

If you're looking for a realtor who is super responsive, a go-getter, professional, and caring, look no further. Tim and his team is the best! They made the purchase of our first home smooth and painless, and patiently answered all of our questions. We are so thankful that we worked with them, and would definitely do so again. read more

Tim was an amazing realtor! We talked with one other realtor before deciding on Tim. He just seemed like he'd be a lot more strategic in helping us find a home, which we really needed in this competitive Seattle market. He and his team were always very responsive to our questions and it never felt like they got frustrated or annoyed with us when we were being wishy washy. Tim was also great about giving his advice as to when we should or shouldn't pursue a house. For example, we were interested in a house in Burien but, when Tim looked into, he found the other interested bidders would probably push the price of the house out of our price range, so there was no point in spending a ton of money on pre-inspections because we probably wouldn't win the house in the end. A week later we found another house we liked in Shoreline and, after doing some research, he thought we might have a good shot. In the end, he put together a great offer for us and, with some amazing negotiating, we got it! I saw the email that the selling realtor sent to Tim and I remembered that she congratulated him on a well-written offer. His being our realtor really made all the difference. Additionally, Tim and his team made our closing day really special. When we got the keys, they had put up a banner in a house and put together a really nice welcome basket for us, including a booklet they made on our house (e.g., the utilities companies for the house, a map of the property, etc.), which we have referenced a number of times since moving in in January. I've heard from others that, often, the realtor will just give you the keys and leave, so closing day feels a little anticlimactic. That definitely wasn't the case with Tim--closing day was awesome! I really couldn't recommend him and his team highly enough! read more

Tim, Jill and the Modern Den team provided the easiest home selling experience we have ever had. We worked with them to put our house on the market during a very uncertain time, and we were understandably nervous. They managed everything for us from beginning to end, providing continuous communication and market insights. They also made small improvement recommendations that resulted in a huge return on investment. We sold our home in two days over the asking price. We have also been working with Tim in home purchases and selling for over 15 years. In addition to Tim's professional expertise, Tim is will always do what's best for his clients over his own interests. Integrity is one of his core beliefs. I highly recommend Modern Den. read more

I would recommend Tim to anyone I know that is buying or selling a house. We didn't give Tim an easy task when we went to sell our place. My husband was relocating out of state for a new job and couldn't list the house until after our family moved away from Seattle. Tim wasn't fazed and dove right in, taking care of the details and allowing us to focus on our move. Tim has strong marketing skills. He knows what will appeal to buyers and how to position a property, including bringing in a great stager and photographer. He was there to guide us every step of the way, giving a point of view but leaving the final decisions up to us. Tim is a great communicator and gave us timely and frequent updates throughout the process. We could feel that Tim had our best interests in mind and he definitely pushed to get us the best deal possible. My husband and I were thrilled with the final results. read more

Before using Tim, I thought a realtor was a realtor was a realtor. Wow was I mistaken! Tim is definitely the best realtor we have ever worked with and we would recommend him for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, honest, and hard-working agent. Him and his team go out of their way to ensure you have a great buying experience. They made us genuinely feel like they were out for our best interest and it wasn't just a business transaction. Choose him and you will never use anyone else again! read more

Tim is more than just prepared and professional, he makes the entire process fun and as stress free as possible! Jill and Paige are equally as awesome. Tim sold our house in one day, and got us into our dream home for way under asking price. What more do you want? I can't recommend Tim and his team enough, they get it done right and make the experience enjoyable. read more

Tim and his team are phenomenal! They are super responsive, professional, and accommodating. Moving is such a challenging process, but Tim and his team made it way less stressful and worthwhile. Tim has tons of great contacts (e.g. painters, cleaners, handyman, stagers, etc) which expedited the process of preparing our house to sell and helped us get our new home "move-in ready." This saved me so much time and energy. Thank you so much, Tim, Jill, and Paige! We truly love our new home. read more

We loved working with Tim. He was very responsive and made time to show homes on evenings and weekends. His negotiation skills really helped us out too -- we ended up getting a home that we originally thought was out of our price range after it had been on the market for a few weeks, and got we wanted out of the inspection process. He also found a really great inspector for us and I felt he cared about whether we were buying a home that was a good long-term investment. read more

Tim is a gem of a real estate agent. He is SO friendly, easy to work with, and incredibly responsive. I could always rely on getting a call or email response within the hour. Tim also helped us get our offer accepted on our dream home, which was a nice bonus! I would recommend Tim to pretty much anyone I know. read more

Tim is an excellent broker--knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and professional. Tim does a great job of being helpful and effective, without being pushy or high-pressure. Tim listened to what my fiancee and I wanted, and made suggestions based on that. Tim never tried to force his view or pressure us about what "the market is doing." As our house and neighborhood preferences evolved, Tim paid attention to what we liked and disliked and adapted his suggestions. He has really great local knowledge and a great network of contacts, so he was able to be helpful regardless of what we felt like exploring. When it came time to place a bid, Tim responded immediately, walked us through the process, helped us think through offer prices and terms, and followed up with the other party's broker. We couldn't have asked for anything more. read more

Tim and his team are the epitome of professionalism, knowledge and grace. Tim is definitely someone to trust and I felt confident in the process the entire time and with both transactions. ~Lisa T read more

Tim was the listing agent of the home I bought a while ago. The transaction was fine, for the most part, but what sticks out to me, even after all this time, is that Tim used his responsiveness as a weapon. If he didn't mind your question or request, he was as responsive as anyone could hope for. If he didn't care for your question or request, he went radio silent. And then you'd eventually get some snarky response later. This occurred a couple times, even in the critical days right before we were set to close. I thought this was really unprofessional, especially for an agent representing a $1mm+ home. If you're his client, perhaps this passive-aggressiveness is a good thing. But you should know that it leaves a sour taste in the mouth of the party on the other side of the transaction. read more

Tim is very knowledgeable on all aspects of the Seattle area real estate market, and was helpful in both the selling of our condo and purchase of a new home. He went out of his way to answer our numerous questions; he also has many skills from listing strategy/price negotiation to neighborhood insights and remodel potential. Not to mention a friendly guy with a great sense of humor! Highly recommend, would definitely be a future client again. read more

We worked with Tim to sell our condo and buy our new home in Seattle, and couldn't have been any happier. He was professional, friendly, hard working and great at communicating with us. He listened to what we wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and was always prompt to respond. He made sure that we always knew what was going on every step of the way, and went above and beyond to ensure that this stressful time went as smoothly as possible. He offered valuable knowledge of the different areas, construction types, and helped us navigate the escrow/paperwork expertly. We cannot recommend him enough, both for selling and buying. read more

When my husband and I began our home search, it was important to us that we selected an agent that was familiar with our desired neighborhoods, was available during the week to show us newly listed homes, and most importantly, someone that we could trust to negotiate a fair purchase price/terms. Tim and Jill were absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. They were always patient with us, even in our indecisiveness, and it's clear that Tim is very comfortable navigating through a very competitive Seattle real estate market. We also appreciated their candor in helping us determine if/when we should actually put in an offer (we asked for that feedback as we valued their opinion). I would highly recommend working with Tim and his team - my husband and I know we ended up getting just the right house for us and for a price that we were comfortable with. Bonus - Tim has remodeled many houses and was able to provide rough estimates of what certain updates might cost - super valuable information to have! read more

Tim is an awesome realtor. We were looking to invest in a multi-family property for the first time, and Tim lent us all of his expertise, recommendations, and time. We didn't know what a good multi-family investment really looked like, but Tim has a very good grip on the market, and he has solid methods for evaluating the viability of this type of investment. His intuition is also very good. He was able to weed through the properties that were available and present to us the ones that would be best for what we wanted to do, which was short-term rentals. When it came to looking at places, Tim was ALWAYS available. A place would pop up on the market, and we'd want to see it that day or the next. Tim was very good at contacting owners and sellers' agents to set up viewings in a timely manner. He was even willing to set up viewings on places that seemed far-fetched. When we decided to put an offer on a duplex that we hadn't even seen, Tim was out of town. However, he contacted another realtor in the office, and we submitted the offer that afternoon. The closing process went unbelievably smoothly, and Tim was there every step of the way - for the viewings and the inspection, negotiating with the sellers' agent, checking on repairs, the re-inspection, the closing, and handing us the keys. We'll be looking to do this again in the future, and Tim will be our realtor. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Our first home-buying process with Tim was by far the best experience one could have asked for. Tim was consistent with his message and motto from day one. In addition to patience with our needs, we felt he had a superb understanding of the market and taught us so much along the way. He was the smartest agent in the room at any given open house - no question. He leads a great team and we could only provide our highest recommendation with Tim Lenihan Homes! read more

Tim helped us purchase our first home as a couple and we could not be happier! He took the time to get to know us as a couple and listened to exactly what we were looking for during every step of the way. He was always available to us via phone/email/text on weekends, during Christmas, and while on vacations. Tim is experienced, strategic and trustworthy; He was our partner in this process and without his "play to win attitude," I truly don't believe we could have landed our dream home without him and his team! read more

Tim helped us purchase our first rental property. He was very helpful and easy to work with. He encouraged us without being pushy and made a somewhat scary purchase seem not scary at all. I feel confident that he will continue to offer advice if we need it. read more

We had a great experience with Tim from beginning to end. As first time home owners, we were convinced that selling our home wound be a daunting and stressful experience. This was not the case whatsoever. Tim made everything so easy and stress-free! He was professional, patient, kind and organized. We sold our house in 5 days, we got everything we wanted and more. We would definitely work with Tim again, feel that he did an outstanding job with the sale of our house. He went above and beyond to make this experience an exceptionally good and easy one. read more

I bought and sold my last home with Tim. Tim is smart, patient and extremely knowledgeable. My fiancé and I are working with him again. Tim is always prepared and he goes beyond to get to know the seller and community to give us an advantage. Tim makes the stressful process of buying a home fun. I wouldn't use anybody else! read more

Tim was a great buyer's agent for us. He was patient and supportive. He offered honest feedback when he felt certain homes we were considering wouldn't work well for us. He kept us true to our vision, and we did find a great place (just like he reassured us we would). He went absolutely above and beyond when he sent out postcards to homes in the area to try to drum up an off-market home for us to buy during a period of low inventory. That level of tenacity was impressive. He was wonderful, energetic, and dedicated throughout, and we highly recommend him. read more

Tim was recommended to us through a co-worker, and as first time homebuyers we had no idea what to expect. Tim was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with all aspects of the process. It was difficult to come to grips with the competiveness of the market: multiple offers, escalation clauses, waived contingencies, etc. Tim helped us navigate the market and always made sure we were within our comfort zone. When we finally found the house we loved, Tim deftly negotiated with the listing agent to avoid a potential bidding war. He checked in with us often during the down times and kept us updated on everything. We highly recommend Tim! read more

Tim knows what he is doing! He came to our first appointment prepared, he guided us on getting our place ready for sale, the listing of our home looked amazing, and we sold our place the first day it went on the market! He also helped us negotiate the purchase of our new home. We believe Tim had our best interest at all times. We are very pleased with his work and we highly recommend him - thank you Tim! read more
