“Recently,
we had the good fortune to have Bill Tilghman market and sell our house. He made
the process as painless and smooth as possible --- offering good advice and
counsel as he gently and capably guided us through the process. We found Bill to
be the consummate real estate professional. He is knowledgeable, works hard,
pays attention to details, is skilled in marketing, and is a creative problem
solver. He always returns phone calls, answers questions completely, and is very
supportive. Most importantly Bill is honest and trustworthy. We were fortunate
to have Bill as our real estate agent and would gladly recommend him to anyone
looking to buy or sell a house.”
Carol &
William Phillips
"Bill is a great Realtor! We had our house on the market for 6 months with no offers whatsoever. The we decided to go with Bill, and in less than a week, we had a buyer and were on our way to selling our home! We were impressed with Bill's great marketing skills, constant communication, and pleasant personality. We certainly chose the right Realtor when we chose Bill Tilghman!"
June & Mark Gress
"From our first meeting with Bill Tilghman my husband and I knew he was the Realtor for us. He continued to impress us throughout the selling process from the beautiful pictures he took of our home for the website to his great suggestions to help get a quicker sale for the most money such as staging & offering a home warranty. Bill is a true professional and knows the real estate business like no other yet is someone you can sit and talk to like a good friend. He eased my worries on several occasions by always returning phone calls, e-mails or knocking on my door. Closing was a breeze with Bill as there were no surprises. He had all the bases covered from day one. We highly recommend Bill Tilghman for all your real estate needs!"
Deana & Joe Awdiok
"When I needed to sell my house, a friend recommended that I use Bill as my agent. That turned out to be an excellent call. Bill is a first class professional, well informed, organized, hard working, responsive, and honest. I couldn’t have asked for more in an agent. He helped me determine the right price, and then he helped me get it. He handled everything -- appraisal, marketing & showing, going to contract, and closing. And he handled it all so well that I always felt like I was in good hands. He definitely knows what he is doing. The whole thing went through smoothly, and it was a real pleasure working with Bill."

"Bill sold our house in New Jersey while we were living on the west coast. The time and effort he put into the sale of our house, while in our absence, is a true testament to his integrity as a realtor. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell."
T. and D. Johnson
"Bill, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for everything you did to help us sell our house. After interviewing several other realtors, you seemed the best choice to us. I really enjoyed your professional yet casual manner and appreciated your suggestions on how to make our house more appealing. You kept me updated at every step of the way and took care of the little things that I neither had time for nor really wanted to be involved with. I attribute the fact that the house sold for more than asking, even in a slower market, directly to your suggestions and follow through. Again thank you, couldn't imagine trying to do it without you!"
Charles Loving
"Joe and I are deeply grateful to you for your patience and perseverance which ultimately resulted in the sale of our home at full price. After having tried other Realtors, with a notable lack of success, your efforts are especially appreciated. We wish you continued success."
Dianne & Joe Formica
“Bill
is the best Realtor I have ever had the privilege of working with. He is always
prompt, courteous, dependable and knowledgeable! I have both purchased and sold
a property through him with great success. Bill was recommended to me by some
friends of mine who had a great experience with him. I took their advice and
additionally I would recommend him to any of my friends and family. Thanks for
everything Bill!"
(Bought and

“You
were a true pleasure to work with. You truly gave our home your full attention
and worked very hard to get it sold. You are truly dedicated to your work and it
shows. Thank you for everything.”
"We
had met Bill Tilghman when he represented the sellers when we bought our house.
His professionalism and ethics during the time of us buying the house impressed
us a lot. That impression lead us to hire Bill Tilghman to sell our house when
we had to relocate due to job change. His cool and calm manner and marketing
strategy led us to sell our house at a higher price and within 3 days. In the
future when we move back to NJ, we sure will use Bill to help us buy a
house."

Sonal Jain
"I wanted to thank you for your patience in dealing with the sale
of my home and the purchase of a new home. You were the most accommodating person that I
have ever had the pleasure to do business with."
(Sold and bought) Dorothy Derevlany
"A Realtor is what makes the difference in selling a home. We
learned the hard way. After dealing with another, inexperienced Realtor for almost a year,
we decided it was time for a change. That’s when we hired Bill Tilghman of
RE/MAX.
What a difference! Within a month, we had a buyer. He was so much more experienced, and
devoted so much time to the realty business. Advertising is a major key to buying and
selling a home. Bill did such an expert job in making up and mailing hundreds of colorful
postcards and flyers portraying our home and putting ads in a number of area papers. But
Bill’s involvement didn’t end there. As the settlement date approached, Bill
personally handled everything that needed to be done from termite and local inspections to
lining up the painter for required exterior work. We couldn’t have done it without
him. Thanks so much Bill, for now we can move on with our lives."
Tracy Harrington
"Bill
Tilghman was very thorough with the sale of our home. He did not hesitate to
advertise our home and had it sold in several days. I would highly wecommend
Bill as your Realtor."
(Bought and sold) Kelly &
Vernon Wallrath
"Bill has to be the closest thing to a miracle man I have ever had
occasion to meet. Prior to listing my property with Bill, it was sitting in the hands of
another agency for over one year. I believe it was officially shown three times. Within
three weeks after I listed with Bill, the property had been visited by three interested
parties and a firm offer was made and accepted. However, the story of Bill’s
professionalism is far from over. The buyer’s mortgage company was extremely
difficult to deal with---constantly asking for one more document, then another and
another. Through all of this, Bill exhibited total professionalism and infinite patience.
Finally, the most important happening was Bill’s very caring manner and the fact that
I was always kept up to date on the status of the sale and the progress of each and every
step. I would be very comfortable recommending Bill Tilghman to one and all."
Rosine Dusenberry
"After numerous attempts to sell our home, with other agents, Bill
was the only one to make it happen. Top-notch broker! Will not hesitate to call Bill
again. Have referred friends to him. A real professional! Will work hard for you. And all
around nice guy!"

"Mr. Bill Tilghman was the most efficient, professional, thorough
and friendly Realtor we have ever had the privilege to work with. Our home sold in less
than a month as a result of his expertise and extraordinary marketing tools. We have
highly recommended him to others and wish to express our profound thanks to him for a job
well done’! We always felt confident that his years of experience and dedication to
selling our home as quickly as possible would, and did, bring us excellent service."
Benjamin & Ava Morrow
"Bill has been the selling agent twice and buying agent once for
us. His ability to make his customers feel that he is working only for them has helped
make Bill a great real estate agent. I was always kept informed of the progress via mail,
phone call, or a stop by visit. Bill is always there to answer questions and give
advice."
(Sold twice and bought) Janet Miller
"On
behalf of Wendie and myself, I just wanted to thank you for an absolutely
outstanding transaction from the inception to the closing today. As a
prospective buyer we initially felt from the onset that we were
in good hands having the best representation available for our new
home search. After our closing today and therefore looking back over the
past few months, we can now verify that you are truly an
elite real estate professional. You are a hard working and dedicated
individual with vast industry knowledge, are very accessible and exert
that extra effort willingly. I believe your respectful professionalism
to others has made you one of the most well respected CRS/Brokers in the
business, one of the many traits we admire. Keep up the
good work, and thank you again on a job well done!!" (Sold twice and
bought) Richard & Wendie Melton "From our initial visit
with Bill, he focused on strategically marketing our house. His expertise proved to be
invaluable in selling our home. His consistent follow-through and advanced marketing
techniques allowed for an extraordinarily quick sale. We appreciate everything Bill has
done for us and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again." David & Susan Stanton "After deciding
to put my home on the market, the next big decision was finding a Realtor. After
talking to several and obtaining one, I was very flustered. Half the time I
couldn't reach the Realtor, had no idea what was going on, and felt as if my
sale was not important. Then I met Bill Tilghman. Not sure if I remember how
that happened but was very glad I did. I realize now how busy a good Realtor is.
Not once did I have a problem conversing with Bill. The first time I needed to
call him I had to leave a voice mail. That's when I thought OK it will be days
before I hear from him again. He actually amazed me at how fast he would get
back to me, from the beginning of our contract till the end. Actually, even
after the sale I had some questions and he still was prompt. Never once, did he
make me feel dumb for asking questions. Nor did he ever mislead me in what was
going on. I guess to sum it up would be to say that if I ever sell again, I
would definitely want Bill to handle the transaction. Also, if I know of anyone
that will be buying or selling I would recommend Bill for the job." (Sold and bought) Tia Lehman "Bill Tilghman was
an outstanding example of a Realtor. He prepared excellent folders showing our
home. He showed our home on the Internet, too. He was professional in all of his
dealings with us and the couple who purchased our home, and all others. We would
recommend Bill to anyone looking to sell their home. He will give his all in his
effort to present a home for sale." Marie & Joseph Urso "WOW!
My house sold in 3 weeks. Between taking care of my 3 year old, preparing for my
wedding, and working 5 days a week --- Bill was a life saver. He knew what to
do, how to do it, and when to do it. Bill even got some of my mail and sent it
to me at my new residence." Brenda Talley "It
is my pleasure to be able to write this testimonial about Bill Tilghman. Bill
helped me purchase two homes and sell one. If I ever require the services of a
real estate agent again I will be sure to call on Bill. When I was purchasing my
first home I worked with several agents before I had the good fortune of finding
Bill...Bill worked tirelessly to find homes for me to look at and, he also
helped me to find special mortgage programs for first-time buyers...When it came
time to move on I never considered calling anyone but Bill...He put my house on
the market and again, worked so very hard to show me ones that were for sale. He
did not only wish to sell me a house, he was genuinely interested in being sure
I would be happy in the house...I have read that buying a home is one of the
most stressful things that can happen in your lifetime...(Bill) certainly
removed a lot of the stress from the experience. Having had experiences with
other agents...I can truly say that Bill is the best agent I have encountered. I
would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and have in fact told many friends
about him." (Sold once and bought twice) Petra Farmer "Bill
was friendly and highly professional. He had good people skills and was very
motivated. We listed our home on Tuesday and we had a contract on Friday. Bill
went out of his way to make sure everything was ready for closing. It was quick
and easy with good service from Bill. We had a unique situation where Bill had
to make many calls to three different people and keep us all updated. He was
great!" Patricia & Anthony Corti
"Mr. Tilghman was a conscientious salesman in selling my home
promptly. I also found him trustworthy and innovative in completing the sale, although I
could not be present at the closing. I recommend him highly if you are looking for a
take-charge Realtor who shows creative initiative."
Zoe Rapoport
"Selling
the 'home of your dreams' can be very emotional; it was for us anyway. Bill's
professional way of handling the sale from start to finish was incredible. He
paid attention to our needs, was aware of our feelings, and sold our home in
three weeks. We had listed with another local broker the year before and the
difference in every area can't be matched. Sorry we hadn't used Bill to begin
with."
Judith & Robert Loringer
"First,
your patience in taking me step-by-step concerning the selling and buying of the
two homes was appreciated and enjoyable. Second, your directness and above (all)
truthfulness helped me to get over the hurdles. Third, your experience, with
integrity, was utmost gratifying and very much appreciated. Fourth, the
dependability and utmost understanding you showed me gave me the help to
continue to go forward. (And) last, your personality and humor was enjoyed, but
mostly kept me going, and made it possible to accomplish the end result. So you
see, Bill, that's why I'm thankful (for) having a great Realtor and person like
you...Thanks so - so - so much for your dependability."
(Sold twice and
bought twice) Jean
Buck
"I
would like to thank you again for the recent sale of my home...It was located in
a difficult area to sell and I didn't give you much time to work with. Despite
these obstacles, I was impressed with your strong work ethic and sincere desire
to meet my goals, which you succeeded in doing. I greatly appreciate all phone
calls and emails being returned promptly, unlike other people I have dealt with.
You also found many ways to advertise the property, which I appreciated. Your
professionalism is of the highest caliber! It was truly a pleasure to work with
you and I will be happy to recommend you to anyone I know in need of a real
estate agent."
Steve Gardner
"Bill
was great! He was professional and went out of his way to solve any problems. I
recommend him very strongly."
Susan Graver
"You
were professional and well organized from beginning to end. It was with
your help that this transaction went as smoothly as possible. We want to
thank you for your hard work and your flexibility to accommodate our difficult
schedule. We would recommend you highly to anyone looking for a true real estate
professional. Thank
you." Brad & Elisa Jaffe
"Bill
Tilghman did the job! At the start of the sales process he provided an accurate
assessment of the market value of our home. He provided professional flyers,
video, and MLS listing portraying our home's features. These efforts resulted in
immediate purchase offers. Upon our acceptance of the buyer's offer, Bill
followed through with the buyer's Realtor to make sure the necessary
inspections, appraisals, etc., happened in a timely manner. His efforts resulted
in the sale of our home at the time we needed. I would recommend Bill Tilghman
to any prospective seller." William
& Lynn Perry
"Bill
Tilghman worked with me to find the perfect home. He was professional at all
times. My situation was unusual and required a lot of extra effort on
Bill's part. He never made me feel that I was asking too much, in fact, he
promptly returned calls, hand-delivered documents, and patiently explained every
detail. He helped me sell my home and buy another, and made the experience a
pleasant one. I thank him immensely!" (Sold
and bought) Janet Riordan
"When
deciding to sell our home, we called four different brokers to assess and value
our home. When we called Bill he came out that afternoon and looked over our
home from the outside and came back that evening for an appointment. He had
prepared a brochure with the best comparables, background information on himself
and RE/MAX, along with many references. We felt that he was best prepared and
most enthusiastic about selling our home and we immediately decided to list with
Bill. We felt comfortable with Bill and knew we were in good hands. He had all
the answers to our questions and let us participate in the asking price for our
home. Within a weeks time he had our house on the market, well advertised
in the newspaper and on the Internet. He kept us well stocked with brochures and
flyers and well informed during the process. Within two months our house was
sold. Bill kept us updated and well informed through each step regarding the
sale of our home. Bill was very professional, knowledgeable, and always friendly
and helpful. We are building a new home in an adult community and if we ever
decide to sell it, we will be sure to call on Bill to assist us." Kenneth
& Gail Waterman
"After
eight months of unpacking, organizing and lawn work, I finally had a chance to filter
through my emails and came across the series of intensive
correspondence that you and I had during the sale of my home. My wife
and I remember the Sunday we met to discuss the possibility of placing
our house on the market and turning around within six days signing a
contract with an offer. I want to thank you for your professional service
and your thorough attention to detail through phone calls, email and
meetings. I will definitely contact you for future transactions and will
recommend you to friends and family." Ed Jimenez “We
retained Bill as agent to sell our home in early August, 2003. Our home sold in
two weeks, a very short time span which speaks highly for Bill’s excellent
services. Bill was punctual, always precisely on time and in telephone contact
for the appointments. Bill’s appearance, demeanor, and presentation were of
the highest professional caliber. Bill’s calm, knowledgeable approach kept the
entire transaction moving forward smoothly, and contributed greatly toward a
most pleasant and trouble-free closing. While some homes seem to languish on the
market for months, Bill got ours sold quickly. Thanks Bill!” Robert &
Patricia Strang “My
experience in working with you and RE/MAX was a joy. You simplified the process
of selling my house and my mind was at ease knowing you went beyond what a
broker/specialist would do. I would consider buying or selling again through
RE/MAX --- especially if you were the agent in the deal. Beyond your credentials
and experience, your personal touch was noticed more. I want to personally THANK
YOU!”
"Recently we sold our house. We chose Bill Tilghman to be our seller's agent. We found him to be very knowledgeable and willing to spend the time to answer all of our many questions. More importantly, we found him to be honest and truthful in all of our dealings."
