★★★★★“Second AND third time’s the charm… Tim helped me find my first San Francisco property, then helped us sell it at a terrific price and find our next home. Tim’s research and facts are on point as always.”
David J.
★★★★★“Tim provided invaluable insight into this incredibly competitive market and from day one was professional, responsive and focused on our goals.”
Sybil R.
★★★★★“I found Tim through Yelp—and he more than deserves 5 stars. Tim worked with me for 5 months in this increasingly competitive and frustrating market. As a first-time buyer, Tim was patient and explained the steps of the process to me in clear language. He gave me access to Clean Offer, where I could enter my basic search criteria. The first Sunday, we visited 10 or 11 open houses—that gave him insight into what I liked and didn’t like. Every Friday thereafter I’d email Tim a list of the open houses I planned to visit that weekend, and he’d write back shortly after with comments, cautions and observations. If it was a property he hadn’t visited yet, he’d meet me at the open house. Tim has won recognition as a realtor whose specialty is with the Buyers. If you’re looking for a new home, you can’t go wrong with Tim. Thanks, Tim!”
John V.
★★★★★“We recently bought a SF apartment—our first time purchasing—and we couldn’t be more grateful to have had Tim as our broker. He provided invaluable advice and insight at every single step of the way. He’s deeply knowledgeable about all parts of the home buying process (and even many tangentially related topics) and cares deeply about putting his clients in the very best situation that he can. He’s was incredibly attentive and sympathetic to our needs at every stage and went above and beyond to make himself available whenever we needed him.”
Paige C.
★★★★★“He is extremely knowledgeable, communicative, and—most importantly—he puts your interests first.”
Yolanda Y.
★★★★★“From discussing pre-sale improvements, finding a stager, handling paperwork and disclosures, and pricing strategy, Tim couldn’t have been more accessible or supportive.”
Ted E.
★★★★★“Tim clarified exactly what we needed to do to compete in San Francisco’s ultra-competitive market and was excellent at communicating throughout the entire process.”
Angela M.
★★★★★“Tim does the legwork and research to give context for the very big decisions involved in buying and selling a house.”
Ron E.
★★★★★“The execution was flawless. I never had to ask for anything—all was done on time and as expected.”
Nancy V.
★★★★★“As first-time Sellers, we had relentless questions. Tim was honest, communicative, patient, and reassuring. His market insight positioned our home to sell in less than a week.”
Debbie L.
★★★★★“Tim offered sound advice on how to get the most for our Parkside home. His pricing strategy generated nine offers and a sale well above asking, while his communication made a stressful time as smooth as possible.”
Sujung K.
★★★★★“Tim handled every detail of preparing my Lower Pacific Heights condo—from the HOA and contractors to staging and the final sale. He kept me informed and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible result.”
Renata K.
★★★★★“For more than twelve years, Tim has been a trusted advisor. He found an amazing new home, guided us through a complex offer, then helped upgrade, market, and quickly sell our former home.”
Liz A.
★★★★★“Tim does the legwork and research that gives context to the very big decisions involved in buying and selling. He advised us to rent rather than sell when that was the better choice for us.”
Ron E.
★★★★★“Tim was strategic, thorough, responsive, knowledgeable, honest, and professional. As first-time Buyers, we always felt taken seriously—and he got our offer accepted even with a higher offer on the table.”
Zack C.
★★★★★“I have had such an easy, pleasurable condo search by using Tim Gullicksen of Corcoran Icon Properties. He came highly recommended, so it wasn’t really a surprise that he was so good, but all my expectations were not only met, but exceeded and then some! Tim is very relaxed, but SO knowledgeable, and when I would write to him from Florida where I live presently, I would get an answer in just a few minutes—regardless of the time of day. Tim can spout off information about almost every condo that I found online, and if occasionally there were one that he wasn’t familiar with, he’d be up to speed in an hour with detailed information. He is clearly on the side of his client and runs interference for you. He gave me advice based on knowledge, and not just emotion, and it was very relaxing dealing with him. One night when I had a “meltdown” thinking I was making a mistake, he was calm, deliberate and told me to think only of what I wanted, and not to worry if I changed my mind. He just wanted me to be happy with my decision. A condo search in a competitive city like San Francisco is inherently stressful yet Tim minimized the stressful aspect. I got the perfect condo, and closed on it today, long distance with no drama and it was as easy as it could be. I am now the proud owner of a lovely, light, airy San Francisco condo in a marvelously convenient neighborhood, near my new granddaughter and all thanks to Tim and his perseverance. You don’t need to look further than Tim for a San Francisco realtor who will facilitate your search for a home. Kudos, Tim!”

★★★★★“Tim and the rest of the team at Corcoran were simply amazing. Tim was totally unphased by our purchasing from out-of-town and was willing to work with our local relatives as our proxy. Tim started with a great acclimation to the crazy market that is San Francisco, and guided us well along the way. Communication was excellent: our questions were answered promptly and Tim’s assessment of properties was spot-on. In the end, they convinced our listing agent to evaluate a pre-emptive offer that helped us close within 1 month of starting our search, and probably saved us over $100k. I would not hesitate to work with him again, or to recommend him to our friends and enemies alike.”
