"I have worked with Tim 3 times to date. He helped me purchase our first home in 2008, and most recently recommended what to do to get our home ready to sell, and we sold it for $10,000 above the asking price on the first day. He also just helped us purchase our newest home & negotiated $21,000 off the purchase price. Our new home even appraised for $3000 above the purchase price giving us over $24,000 of instant equity. Tim is great and is my first and only stop for any of my real estate needs. Would totally recommend to anyone who is at any stage of their home purchasing journey."- Daniel & Rebecca N.

"I have bought and sold 5 homes and Tim was by far the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. Tim worked tirelessly and relentlessly to ensure that not only did our home sell, but that it sold above asking. There is really no way to overstate how much Tim did for us during the time we worked together. If you are lucky enough to work with this realtor you will be ruined for all others afterwards. This will only sound like hyperbole until you have worked with him, afterwards you will find yourself writing a similar review and in the unenviable position of trying to describe the experience in words."- David & Marlyn H.

"I would recommend Tim Owen to any buyer or seller who is looking for a top-notch realtor willing to go above and beyond. We felt as if we were a priority every step of the way and Tim was always available for us, night or day. Tim provided excellent customer service and satisfaction and his results spoke for themselves. When it came to selling our home, Tim took care of every detail from start to finish. He prepared suggestions on how we should prepare our home for the current market. After careful planning, we decided on a budget and timeline and Tim took on the role of overseeing the daily work being done at our home. During the month that updates to our exterior (painting, general curb appeal) and interior (ceramic tiling in the kitchen & amp; front porch, waterproofing of basement and electrical & plumbing updates) were being completed, Tim never missed a day and helped keep us sane and on track. When everything was complete Tim helped stage our home and took wonderful professional photographs which he then developed into attractive marketing materials. Tim’s aggressive and proactive marketing of our home paid off immediately, as there were 20+ showings by the second day on the market. By the third day, our home was sold for $8000 above the asking price. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful result. Of course, we still had to purchase a new home. Here again, Tim was relentless in his efforts. His expertise and willingness to show us listings around the clock allowed us to see available homes seven days a week around our busy schedules, sometimes with very little advance notice. Eventually, after visiting countless listings, we made an offer on the home that we liked and Tim was able to negotiate a $45,000 difference off of the asking price. Needless to say, this was a welcome perk and once again proof positive of Tim’s savvy knowledge of the market. Tim is a professional and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Our experience was nothing less than stellar."- Darren & Leah W.

"Tim owen is amazing!!! I worked with tim as part of a corporate relocation from out of state and have now worked with him 3 times in the last 2 years. He helped me purchase and sell my home for top dollar and then purchase a new home. He was incredibly hands on, accessible, and available all 3 times I worked with him. He’s super knowledgeable and shows a level of care I have not seen in other realtors. He advised what to do to prepare my home for the market, helped schedule and coordinate contractors, repairs, and all the moving parts with a concierge approach from getting under contract to the settlement table. This is also a guy who rolled up his sleeves to help rip up carpeting in my basement and bleach the floor all to help me get a sale for my home!! That level of service is unparalleled and am super grateful I met tim. 10/10 would recommend every time!"- Mik P.

"Enjoyed working with Tim. He sold our house so quickly, $10,000 above the asking price on the first day. He was always a phone call away if we needed him. Handled everything for us and made selling the house a little easier on us. Tim was recommended by my son, tim also sold his house quickly. We then recommended Tim to our neighbor. Highly recommend Tim to help sell your house."- Pat & Frank F.

Five Generations in Real Estate

Real estate runs deep in Tim's family. In 1896, his great-great-grandfather founded Thomas J. Owen & Son in Washington, D.C., a residential, commercial & auction real estate firm. Today, 130 years later, Tim continues a five-generation family tradition built on honesty, integrity, hard work & lasting client relationships.

Before Real Estate

Before returning to his family's real estate roots, Tim spent more than two decades building a successful career in the independent music industry as a photographer, record label founder & entrepreneur.

At 16, he began photographing Washington, D.C.'s underground punk, hardcore & independent music scene. He later studied photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and the School of Visual Arts in New York City before pursuing professional music photography for magazines & record labels. His work included photographing Nirvana, Sonic Youth, The Ramones, My Bloody Valentine, Fugazi, Green Day, Aphex Twin, The Jesus Lizard, Mudhoney & many others.

Tim also founded Jade Tree Records, an influential independent record label that became a full-time business & sold more than one million records during its 25-year history. Building & running an independent company gave Tim extensive experience in branding, marketing, negotiation, creative direction & business development, skills that continue to shape his approach to real estate.

As the music industry evolved, Tim returned to his family's real estate roots, becoming a full-time Realtor in 2007.

Beyond Real Estate

Tim lives in Philadelphia's Mt. Airy neighborhood with his wife & their rescue cats. Together, they have spent years painstakingly restoring their century-old home, bringing a neglected property back to life while preserving its original architectural character.

A longtime animal rescue advocate, Tim actively supports organizations helping homeless, abandoned & neglected animals. Outside of real estate, he enjoys architecture, photography, restoring his historic home & occasionally catching live music at Philadelphia's independent venues.
