TESTIMONIALS

Tim Gregory’s work as The Building Biographer has inspired the following comments from his clients:

“My sellers were so impressed, but even more so the buyer who had the opportunity to buy a house that was researched by someone of Tim’s expertise.  The sellers discovered many things about their property they never knew before.  I have no doubt the information Tim discovered about the house probably raised the sellers’ final price by about $20,000!”
—Judy Rubin, Coldwell Banker, Pasadena

“Tim Gregory enables me to offer full service to my clients of both modest and grand vintage homes. His ‘storytelling’ of the facts adds a personal touch, prestige and personality to the property.  I continue to sell my listings quickly due in great part to the excellent service that he provides his clients.”—Phyllis Harb, Dilbeck Real Estate, La Cañada Flintridge

"Tim Gregory's research as The Building Biographer is impeccable.  The hearts and souls of older homes lie in their past and Tim brings all information to the forefront.   Whether buying or selling, renting or remodeling, knowing the history of a building is valuable, entertaining and oftentimes surprising."—Tina Hart, Pasadena homeowner

“Our real estate firm specializes in architectural and historic properties. When we have a significant listing in Los Angeles County that needs accurate research in an expedient amount of time, we heavily rely on Tim Gregory's acumen of architectural styles and vast knowledge of architects.  With Tim's help, we are able to present to our clients thorough detail of the history of the house they are thinking of buying or selling. The information received from Tim provides intrinsic value and establishes the provenance of the home.”-- Matt Berkley, Deasy/Penner & Partners, Pasadena

“Tim Gregory did a superb job researching the history of our house and its historical significance in our community. He was instrumental in guiding us through the process of a historical designation and the Mills Act. We couldn’t have done it without him!”—Diane Davies, Glendale homeowner
 
“A building biography from Tim is one of the most emotional pieces of marketing I can provide when selling older homes.  Upon closing, the buyers always tell me that they read every word of the biography, and I certainly think it helps create a strong emotional bond between buyers and their home.” --Mike Bell, Sotheby’s International Realty, Pasadena

“It was wonderful to find out about the history of our house and some of its occupants.” –Carrie Quintanar, La Habra Heights homeowner

“Your work to create these house stories is always with people under stress, even if their move has been planned for a long time and is eagerly anticipated.  You have made this part of selling the house easy for me; I appreciate that very much.” --Virginia Newton, Los Angeles homeowner
