INTRODUCING TIM ALLEN
ABOUT TIM
Specializing in high-end properties with Coldwell Banker Del Monte Realty, Tim has long been known as one of the most successful real estate agents on the Monterey Peninsula. A consistent award winner and ranked in the top 10 Coldwell Banker agents nationwide each year since 1997, he has earned his reputation for his integrity, ethics, and proven results.
Born and raised in the Pebble Beach/Carmel area, Tim has been a full time Realtor for nearly 30 years. He combines passion, talent, work ethic, a powerful network and teamwork to create a formula of success for hundreds of clients. Tim has built his business with great care and attention to a single goal – his client ’s total and complete satisfaction.
HOW I GOT STARTED
I grew up working in the family business at La Playa Hotel and the Sundial Lodge, both in Carmel, so I’ve always been in the service industry. My introduction to real estate came through my best friend’s step father, Chris Bock, who was a local broker. It sounded like an exciting career so he helped me get started. That was 1984 and it has been a blur ever since.
AWAY FROM THE OFFICE
Real estate is my career but my passion is lacrosse. Both my sons play in college and I love work-ing and exposing the game to kids. I even carry lacrosse sticks in my car to hand out to new recruits!
MOST MEMORABLE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION
I have lots of memorable stories but one of the best is the time I discovered a dead mouse in the ocean front house I had just sold and the buyers were due to arrive in 30 minutes. The problem wasn’t so much the mouse but the awful odor permeating from the crawlspace. It was early in my career and I was wearing a three piece suit, so I stripped down to my boxers, put on my golf shoes and grabbed my lacrosse stick. I crawled under the house and poked and prodded with my back to the ground and my belly brushing against the insulation. I scooped up a bunch of dried up dead rats, their droppings and stickfulls of stinky, scratchy insulation, then stuffed it into a hefty bag. Once I emerged from the underbelly of the house I sniffed around and was pleasantly pleased that I had solved the smelly situation. The problem was, now I was smelly. So I jumped in the shower, all the while hoping the buyer wouldn’t show up. But, I dressed in time and it wall came out smelling like a rose!

T H E T E A M
Tim has participated in the evolution of the real estate business since he began in 1983. He has been a part of the myriad of changes in the business that have brought it real es-tate to what it is today, that of a dynamic, fast paced and demanding business. With the progression and advancement of tech-nology, the speed of communications, the volumes of new law, increased liability and the high expectations of the client; it takes the total combined effort of a strong, experi-enced and diversified network of real estate professionals to be successful.
While Tim draws from the strength of his net-work he personally handles all negotiations and transactions himself. Tim has developed strong relationships with all the parties re-quired to achieve a successful sale in today’s market. This network of people, Tim’s “Team”, includes buyers and sellers, his company, Coldwell Banker, other agents, escrow and ti-tle companies, insurance and home warran-ty companies, inspectors and contractors, te-
chies and termite inspectors, architects and engineers, photographers, secretaries, sup-port staff and many other professionals. Due to Tim’s experience, productivity and repu-tation he can call upon his vast network at anytime and receive immediate assistance. All of the members of Tim’s team are known to be experts in their fields and individually enjoy excellent reputations. This network and “ team” that Tim brings to the table represents a powerful and tremendous benefit to his cli-ents. While Tim relies heavily upon his team for help, he limits his business so that he can provide individual attention to every client and to every transaction.
As an example you will notice that it is Tim’s personal cell phone number on all market-ing materials and advertising so that he can make direct contact with the potential buyer to help his clients achieve their goals. It is this focus, this drive, this energy, this enthusiasm, this experience combined with unwavering ethics that have made Tim so successful.

Did you know that Chinese homebuyers have become the second-largest group of international buyers of homes in the United States, according to the National Association of Realtors? Sales from Chinese homebuy-ers made up 9 percent of the $41 billion in international sales for US homes in 2010, according to an annual re-port released by the US National Association of Realtors. It is a considerable spike in sales from the 2007 mark of 5 percent for Chinese buyers.
The report tallied the number of sales for 12 months start-ing from March of 2009 through March of 2010. In that span, buyers from 70 countries and regions purchased homes in the US. Canada, at 23 percent, ranked at the top of the list, followed by China at 9 percent and India, Mexico and the United Kingdom each raking in 7 per-cent of sales. The five nations accounted for 53 percent of transactions among international buyers, according to the report. The total amount of property sales in the US over 12 months since March of last year was $1.07 trillion. The report, from an association that represents 1.2 million realtors across the US, said the international property purchases were heavily concentrated in four states - Florida, Texas, Arizona and California, account-ing for 58 percent of sales.
“Among these states, California has been an ideal loca-tion for Chinese homebuyers. Many buyers aim for resi-dential properties, with some looking for bargain deals for business purposes,” said Qi Lixin, president of the Bei-jing Entry and Exit Service Association, which helps Chi-nese people with issues of immigration and relocation and is supervised by the Beijing municipal civil affairs bureau. Knowing this, what is Coldwell Banker doing to reach out to home buyers in Asia? Plenty. Here is a look

The total U.S. Existing Home Sales market was approximately $1.07 trillion in the 12 months ending in March 2011 based on a recent NAR survey. Furthermore:
• Foreign clients purchased an approximate $41 billion share of homes, the same as the previous year.• In addition, recent immigrants (who have moved to the U.S. within the past 2 years) and individuals with visas for more than 6 months purchased an additional $41 billion, for total internationally oriented sales of $82 billion, up from $66 billion reported in 2010.
There are a variety of reasons motivating the purchase of U.S. residential property.
• Homes in this country are less expensive than comparable foreign properties• Homes are viewed as a secure investment• Homes provide rental and long term appreciation possibilities.• During the past 10 years, the strength of the euro has in general increased the purchasing power of inter-national buyers.• Declining U.S. home prices have also increased the attractiveness of the U.S. market.• Due to the arbitrage nature of international currency markets, when the dollar depreciates against the Euro it also tends to depreciate against other currencies, so overall the U.S. home buying market has be-come increasingly attractive to international purchasers.
Most states have had some type of international buyer activity—vacation, investment, job or educational related properties. However, property purchases are heavily concentrated in four states: Florida, California, Texas, and Arizona, accounting for 58 percent of sales.

T IM ALLEN ’S EXCLUS IVE AGENT & BUYERTARGETED, E- MARKET ING CAMPAIGN
With Tim’s twenty-seven plus years of local real estate experience he rec-ognizes one indisputable fact: energizing other agents, brokers and buy-ers is half the battle when creating a buzz in the real estate community about a new listing. To that end we have worked diligently to develop a unique E-marketing campaign to get the word out that your property is on the market. With Tim’s reputation for having the best listings on the peninsula we find that the faster we can communicate with our targeted agent / buyer pool, the more likely we are to have excited agents trying to sell your property and buyer interest. With all that in mind we have cre-ated a five-part plan to announce, inform, update, follow-up and offer easy access to any and all successful working real estate professionals and buyers here on the Monterey Peninsula and beyond.

TIM ALLEN & CB
right, treated fairly and would happily recommend us to any of their friends or family. That is the single element that underpins our extraordinary success.
WHY CHOOSE COLDWELL BANKER DEL MONTE REALTYY
Tim Allen asked the same question before joining Cold-well Banker Del Monte Realty (formerly Del Monte Realty) and did the following:
1. I INTERVIEWED the best companies in high-end property sales. (I was asked to join every firm and I am continually being recruited by the competition.)
2. I ANALYZED each firm’s market share, manage-ment style, longevity, advertising style & budget.
3. I COMPARED each company’s agent and the ra-tio of veterans to beginners.
4. I INVESTIGATED the professionalism and the ad-equacy of support staff such as secretaries, advertising department, accounting department and middle man-agement personnel.
5. I RESEARCHED the locations of each firm’s offic-es and the days and hours their offices were open and staffed.
Tim concluded the following:
“HANDS DOWN COLDWELL BANKER DEL MONTE REALTY beat the competing firms in all but one category! The
one exception is the commission split between the agent and the brokerage firm, where it is less for the agent and more for the brokerage firm than at other offices for their top agents. Tim Allen still chose Coldwell Banker Del Mon-te Realty because, with all the pluses they bring to the “table”.
