Agent Spotlight: Tim Behe

About Tim Behe

We recently sat down with Tim Behe, one of the top producing agents at Spyglass, to find out how he left a bustling career in tech to become a real estate agent in his 40’s. We went over what does success means to each of us and he created a meaningful impact in his life and his business. For some it may be becoming the #1 agent in your market, for others it might be spending less time at work without comprising service or profit, or possibly it involves your personal or professional legacy. But for Tim, he honed in on processes to make his business to the maximum efficiency and accountability groups to quantify progress through tracking his commitments. We also speak about his aspirations and goals for the upcoming year and how he is going to go about them. We're so proud of all your hard work, Tim!

I have always been heavy on the buyer side. And I think I do prefer that because of the opportunity to build that relationship. Really, it seems that buyers get more enjoyment when you find that right house. Most of the people I work with are first time homebuyers, just the area that I work in. So I think I get a little more enjoyment helping them find that right house instead of selling somebody's house. So that's just what I prefer. One thing that I learned quickly in my career is not taking it personal no matter what the other agent is saying or the other sellers. The other part the other clients, not take it personal because they don't know me. So I think that just keeping a level head and just sometimes just sitting back thinking about what their how their responses are coming in and then be reacted to that.

So homebuyers that are looking to move to Austin, they really need to engage with an agent for so many reasons, one, just knowing the area. There are so few properties that are on the market inventory have been low for such a long time. Having an agent that is really part of an area and always communicating with other agents off-market properties are super important rather than just coming in, going on a Zillow search or just doing it on their own instead of engaging with an agent that can actually help enhance their Austin homebuying experience. It's just that important.
