Buying a home is a very emotionally charged event because you're taking on millions in debt to provide shelter for yourself and your family. Faye and Tim are the perfect combo, able to address your emotional needs while also providing facts and lending their expertise.
Faye and Tim have been very successful because they are consummate real estate professionals with deep knowledge and expertise, but they also have a very high emotional intelligence, allowing them to adapt to each buyer. As an example, Faye was so pleasant to work with and developed a strong relationship with the seller's agent, which resulted in him granting us some credit for unexpected termite and foundation work. Tim's knowledge of remodeling and home structure is just unbelievable. It was a real asset to have him attend contractor meetings to explain and answer questions in detail.
Tim and Faye gave us so much time and attention and made sure everything was executed as smoothly and quickly as possible. The home-buying experience was so effortless with this dynamic duo that I would never go through another real estate transaction without them. I'll only work with this pair for real estate transactions and trust them to take care of the home if I'm unable to do so.
I was trying to buy a house for a while, not realizing how hot the bay area market was. After losing out on a bid for 2 houses, I had Faye represent me for another bid that I was planning to put on another ...
We purchased a house with Faye in May 2014 and the experience was great. We explained to her what we were looking for and she did a great job selecting homes for us to view. We felt that she had a really ...
Working with Faye and Tim made the whole process pain free! We never felt rushed or pressured and they always answered every question we had (we had A LOT) to make sure we were comfortable and confident with our decisions. It was a pleasure working with them and we will no doubt want work with them again!
Faye has been fantastic dealing with seller realtors, very diligent and throrough, does homework and provide the right kind of advices to a first time home owner like me. She has given the right tips/ recomendations. She has been very patient and was with me for 1 year , with same happy and smiley face, showing numerous houses without getting frustrated. I recomended many of my friends/colleagues and they all bought through Faye. If I buy or sell house, i will go with her.
Faye Bon and Tim Alford were both our buying and selling agents. I can not praise them enough! To make a long story short.... We owned a condo we didn't live in and found out our renters were pretty much hoarders, and we lived in a condo we were renting that had a drastic increase in rent. So... it was time to move on and buy our house.
As I began my initial search I sent an inquiry on a house I was viewing on zillow. Faye called me back in less than 2 minutes. There began a wonderful relationship. I met Faye and Time a few hours later. We explained our situation and they told us to "Let us earn your business", and that they did. We still interviewed other agents but by day 3 and after seeing 15+ places we knew it was Faye and Tim. They did not flinch when the entered the distressed condo and were there every step of the way to help us out.
In 3 weeks we viewed a total of 33 homes, made and offer on 1 and eventually got that house with a CONTINGENCY TO SELL and under asking!!!! Our condo was still being renovated when we went into contract which only made us work harder to get the condo sold. Faye even saved me an extra $1500 on staging and suggested we bring furniture from her house and mine. The condo was gorgeous and sold the first weekend it was on the market well over asking!
They are, hands down, the best agents we have met! They made this process bearable, and even dare I say it, enjoyable.
I had a very positive experience recently working with Faye Bon. She helped me find the perfect place. Through the whole process, she was so professional, so responsive, and very knowledgeable about the whole market.The entire process went so smooth and I would highly recommend Faye to anyone who has real estate needs.
Faye was my agent when I bought my first house few years ago. When I first approached her to put an abysmally low bid on a house, she patiently explained to me that it did not stand a chance. I persisted, and she diligently submitted the bid and as expected we were outbid. As I was struggling to find a house without understanding the local market, she worked with me and helped me figure out the bay area market. Over the next few months, she guided me through the process of becoming an educated buyer and subsequently help me get my first house. More recently I had approached her to buy a condo, and once again she was able to guide me through the intricacies associated with condos and helped me to get the condo at the right price. She was professional at every step and ensured that nothing got dropped from the point of making an offer through closing and was there to help me through a few things which I was not aware of with condos. Highly recommend.
My brother and I were faced with the daunting task of getting our family home of 50+ ready to sell after our mother passed away. She had lived there alone for the past 34 years, so while the home was clean, it certainly needed to be updated. We both live out of the area, so we were very concerned with accomplishing this task in a timely manner.Faye Bon and Tim Alford were known to us through the selling of another neighbor’s home on our street. Our mother had met them and thought they did a terrific job. We spoke to them about our needs and they were more than willing to take the job! They hired the needed professionals to do the painting inside and out, staining the fences, laying new flooring throughout, remodeling the bathrooms, and the other general repairs that needed to be done. They were at the house day and night supervising the workers and making sure things were done properly and timely. They set a 3 week timeframe, and it was met! We were amazed by the results! The house showed like a model home!!! Our mother would have been so pleased.Faye and Tim did a wonderful job marketing the house. They passed out flyers in the surrounding area inviting everyone to an open house before the house hit the market. They even provided delicious appetizers and drinks!! The turnout was great and created a lot of interest in the house.There was an open house the first weekend, and we received several solid offers 5 days later. We accepted one of the offers, and it was well over asking price. The house closed in 21 days without a hitch! Everything was in order as all of the needed inspections had been done before the house was even listed. It truly pays to have a professional like Faye and Tim handle your sale!Sharon Jensen & Larry Lambert
I give 5 star to this team of experienced duo of Tim and Faye. They provide seamless experience in buying (based on my buying experience) my house. They are very knowledgeable on the trends and also gave advices on what type of house to buy my first house. They also provide valuable inputs in remodeling which increases the value of the house and how to do smarter way. They will always have buyer perspective when they helped me. I strongly recommend Team Faye and Tim for any house buying and selling . I will be always working with them. They are true professional, always on time, patiently (spent 1.5 years before my first house) helping me to see 50 houses or more, very responsive and provided great value
I've had a great experience working with Tim and Faye on the purchase of our home. Tim has a great sense of the market, evaluating homes, and listens well to our needs and priorities for a home. He is a great negotiator and I am confident he helped us save money on our home purchase. I would not hesitate to work with Tim and Faye again, in fact, I just recently worked with Tim again on evaluating an investment property.
We worked with Faye for buying our first house. She got our requirements and help narrow down the right properties. She helped us come up with the right offer price which help us get the house. She also coordinated with our finance person and was in constant touch with the seller's agent on ensuring that the process goes smooth. Post the offer getting accepted she help us with hiring the right professionals to do necessary inspections and got the sellers to do the required repairs. Post the closing she kept in touch regularly to ensure that we do not face any teething troubles. It was a breeze to work with her. It helped make the whole home buying process a pleasure.
Tim and Faye helped us purchase our home as well as our family and friends. We first met them during an open house and liked them a lot on the spot. They helped us understand the housing market, how to buy a home, found us a great broker for a good mortgage deal. We are very happy with our home and it wouldn't happen without Tim and Faye. We are still friends. We are grateful and we highly recommend the team.
We have worked with Tim and Faye twice. They helped us buy both our homes. Our second home was up against some tight timelines and dependent on closing on selling another property and they navigated all the dependencies efficiently for a successful transaction. Tim and Faye optimize their decisions to ensure their client get the desired property. Most importantly they are nice people and a pleasure to work with. Over time they have become our friends. We would love to work with them again.
Faye and Tim were very reliable and trustworthy agents who were excellent in selling our house. We are very grateful that we met them because they went the extra mile in preparing and later selling our home. We recommend them very much to everyone who wants to have smooth and painless process in selling a house. They both are wonderful and very nice people with kind approach to their clients. We endorse them wholeheartedly!
Buying a home involves a lot of big decisions. The first of many decisions is arguably one of the most important ones, choosing the right realtor. We feel so very fortunate to have worked with Tim and Faye. Their in-depth knowledge of the area and the current market was incredible. From driving 45 minutes to measure the fridge space for us, to bringing over delicious baked treats once we closed; they did it all! We couldn’t be more happy with how they helped us handle such a stressful process. Being first time home buyers, we felt incredibly overwhelmed to start. Tim and Faye helped explain everything from start to finish. They do a great job of breaking down each step, so that it’s easily understood. We really appreciated how they helped us focus on the more important structural things and kept us from getting distracted by the surface level elements that can be easily changed. Above all else, we loved their candor and warm personalities. Every tour ended with a fun and informative conversation that left us feeling more knowledgeable and inspired. They had such a passionate willingness to go the extra mile and ensure that we found the right house within our budget. Make sure the first decision you make is the right one; choose Tim & Faye, you won’t regret it!
Tim and Faye work with heart and soul for their clients best interest, this is what I love about them I highly recommend this team ❤️
We met Tim and Faye at our neighbor’s open house and were instantly impressed. From our first meeting — to the close of escrow — the whole process was a breeze. They understood our needs and desires, and guided us every step of the way to make the house sellable for today’s buyers. They managed the contractors work which allowed us to focus on all the things necessary to pack and prepare for our move. What a relief that was! They also arranged and managed the staging which was another huge load off our shoulders. Faye has a keen eye and shows you to how to make your home "pop" for prospective buyers when they walk through the door. Both Tim and Faye were always available and responsive to answer our questions and phone calls. They stayed in touch with us every day during the whole process. If you need some extra muscle to move the heavy stuff, just ask Tim. He'll jump in and help out. It’s a pleasure to call Tim and Faye friends. We highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.
Tim and Faye helped us purchase our first home in Bay Area in an ever growing competitive market. In our very first meeting they walked us through the process of home buying and immediately understood our needs and requirements. They also got us in touch with their preferred lender. Once we got pre-approved, they regularly sent us a list of potential homes and introduced us to new areas which also met out criteria. They were always available to come tour the house with us. Both Tim and Faye provided honest opinion and feedback on any house we saw. They also pointed out potential things to watch out for as home buyers. For any house we liked, they were prompt in obtaining the disclosures and in putting professional and competitive offers. They followed up closely with seller agents and once our offer got selected, they guided us through the next steps for a smooth closing. Tim and Faye are very friendly and helpful. They are always available and continue to guide us for other house related work even after closing. Overall we are extremely delighted to have chosen Tim and Faye as our agents. We had a great experience buying our first home with them and would highly recommend them.
I've worked with Faye for 10 years, she has helped me with 4 real estate transactions. She has very good knowledge of the bay area and she has always been very helpful. She responds very quickly to any questions and concerns and she makes herself available to show the houses at our convenience. She explains things in a way that was easy to understand, she is very honest and forthright. She always has a smile and is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is very professional, has a lot of experience and I highly recommend her.
I met Faye and Tim in 2019 at an open house. Still remember the first time we met, the open house time was about over, and they stayed and talked to me for another half an hour, no bragging about themselves or push for any business, more like friends chatting. After a few years, and talked with many agents, I decided that I will go with someone who can represent my full interest, then I went on looking for houses with Faye and Tim about a few months ago. The best part of the experience were the moments they say “No” to me. There were a few houses I was attracted to for some particular reasons. Instead of just letting me go for it and getting the business done, Faye and Tim would point out critical things that I missed as a regular buyer (who also just wanted to buy a house in this crazy market) and calm me down. At the same time, they kept looking for the houses based on my needs every single day. For any houses I was interested in, they would make appointments for me right away, and go with me. I never wasted any time waiting or had to go by myself. A few times, I offered that I can just check it out and let them know if I am interested given some of the houses are far away, they still went together with me without hesitation. With Faye and Tim by my side, I was able to get my dream house in about 3 months, 2nd offer got accepted (with the best price I can think of). And! This is not the end, they were there with me in the new house many times by now, help me get familiar with the town, talking to my neighbors, interviewing contractors and take care of every little details here and there. Faye and Tim take care of me like families, and I know this is how they treat each of their clients. Forgot to mention, they also found me the best mortgage broker I can think of. It is like an all in one service, and an auto pilot process. I cannot be more grateful!

Buying and finding a house at the top of the market was not easy. Faye and Tim were very professional as well as personal during the process. Anytime there was a house we wanted to see, they moved fast as homes were flying off the market. They were not just trying to sell any house, they made sure that It was suitable for our family. They were very honest about their opinion as a realtor. If they don't like the neighborhood, they will say. They explained everything about the home buying process and were a great partner throughout the process. In addition, they were responsive and always looking to get us answers to the questions. They are an excellent support system even after we have bought the house. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home. You won't regret it.
The Alford-Bon Team were wonderful to work with. Faye and Tim were knowledgeable, professional and reliable. I put complete trust in their work and received amazing results. A winning team!
Faye and Tim are modern days real estate industry bonnie and clyde, same badass but also gentle and kind. I was referred to them by one of my friends and I knew I could trust her whole heartedly and I was not wrong! Tim and Faye are extremely professional but also personal. With their knowledge and experiences in this profession, combined with their genuine care and kindness towards their clients, they made purchasing a home not intimidating but a pleasant experience. I will def come back to them if I ever purchase another place in the future and will recommend them to all my friends who are looking! Thank you Tim and Faye! :)
Although we had several good offers on our uncle’s home, Faye and Tim had paid such close attention to our family’s thoughts and feelings, that their recommendation of which buyer’s offer to accept was a perfect match. An effective real estate agent works with both their head and their heart. Faye and Tim far exceeded our family’s expectations organizing the sale of our uncle’s home after his passing. Much of our family lives out of town, so we heavily relied on Faye and Tim to be completely hands on and communicative with our family. We needed them for everything! They orchestrated renovating the kitchen and baths, removal of debris, landscaping needs, painting, updating flooring, staging, open houses, and many other behind the scenes needs. With Tim and Faye;s guidance, patience, and grace, our uncle’s 80 year old brother managed our uncle’s trust and escrow with ease and comfort. They were always kind and genuine. Faye and Tim always answer their phone, respond to text messages, reply promptly to emails, and answer questions with detailed explanations. Contact Faye and Tim to be your agent. You can contact me personally for any other questions at (209) 499-6987. On behalf of our family, I write this review for Faye and Tim with heartfelt appreciation. Regards, The Emels.
Thank you, Faye and Tim, for the wonderful job you did for me and my brother and sister in selling our parent's home. You both showed so much compassion as well as professionalism. We all live out of town and you took care of everything so we didn't have to travel back and forth. We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know who is thinking of selling or buying. Thanks again,Debbie Blue.
We want to thank Faye & Tim for their hard work and dedication in getting our rental house remodeled and sold as we do not live nearby. They were able to oversee all the projects of remodeling the house which took all the pressure off of us and it all was done in a timely manner. Because of their knowledge and expertise they sold our house above asking price and in 4 days. It was such a great experience working with them that we would totally recommend Faye & Tim as one of the best realtors in the Bay Area.
