Testimonials

Tim Hayden is a true real estate professional. He led his team to identify properties for my business partners and I when we were just starting out in Napa. He truly helped us launch our business with his listening and understanding of our business visions. This vision started with a residential property and grew to purchasing vineyards and a winery property. Tim’s deep and diverse knowledge of the Napa Valley, business contacts and guidance were instrumental in launching our business. His strong communication skills kept us always aware of changes and opportunities and not to mention his keen sense of humor made it a true pleasure during negotiations. Tim is not simply a transactional real estate broker but rather acts as a partner in the business and someone I am lucky to call my friend.

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Tim Hayden since 1997. He is the consummate professional REALTOR. Tim is knowledgeable, experienced, communicative, and trustworthy. He also has a long list of local contacts to help buyers and sellers in the purchase or sale process. What speaks volumes about the service that Tim provides his clients, is the vast majority of them become friends.

As a Chicago Transplant in 2007 with no knowledge of the real estate market in St. Helena or California Laws, I had the good fortune to be recommended Tim Hayden to assist me with the purchase of a new home on my relocation to St. Helena. Tim found me a lovely house on my first visit that was not even listed and guided me through the whole process with extraordinary patience and expertise! Since then, Tim has helped me with the sale of this home, the purchase and sale of another home in St. Helena and the purchase of my present home! And all along the way, Tim used his tremendous real estate knowledge, credibility with other REALTORS, sense of humor, business savvy and undivided attention to make the process seamless. And most importantly I always felt that Tim “had my back”. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to any potential seller/buyer!

I have been working with Tim Hayden for over 15 years selling and buying property in the Napa Valley. Tim, from the beginning of our working relationship, has always been attentive, understanding, patient and professional. Under difficult circumstances he has been able to guide and counsel me in making appropriate and timely decisions. I would not hesitate to recommend Tim to anyone looking to buy or sell, whether residential, vineyard or winery properties. Tim has not only been there for me professionally but also as a valued friend.

When we engaged Tim Hayden to represent our mother's trust in the sale of her St Helena home, we assumed that the process would be complicated by the fact that none of us reside in California. We expected, at the very least, a stress-ridden consolidation of her personal affairs and possessions, as well as a lengthy timeline to sale. Contrary to our assumption, however, Tim effected the sale of the property on a fast track. The process was smooth, efficient and angst-free from listing to sale. Tim's stewardship of the property in our absence, his diligence and attention to detail no matter how miniscule, and his open and accommodating demeanor provided our family with the confidence and peace of mind we needed in a time when our over-riding emotion was one of profound loss. Tim's sensitivity, empathy and friendship, coupled with his unparalleled professionalism, made for a highly satisfying and surprisingly delightful experience. In short, we couldn't be happier with the outcome.
