About Tim Braden

Tim and his sister Leigh spent a pretty idyllic youth growing up in a community on Lake Mohawk, New Jersey. The warmer months were spent boating, water skiing, horseback riding, fishing, playing golf and tennis while the winter months were spent skiing and ice skating. Their parents lived there for 30 years before retiring to North Carolina.

Tim followed in his father’s footsteps and graduated from Colgate University in Hamilton, New York and then proceeded to go into the printing business with his Dad. The next 12 years were spent growing what became a very successful business. Fortunately or unfortunately, Tim was not as enamored with the printing business as his father, but was really excited about the thought of a career in sales. Having been a member of local Volunteer Rescue Squads from the age of 17, he went into the sale of Rescue trucks for a period of time… and then having moved from New Jersey to Charlottesville, VA. he followed in his mother’s footsteps and began a career in Real Estate.

He recalls going out with his Mom during his teenage years, “We would travel the countryside previewing properties and assessing prices… talking about house qualities and community attributes”. Tim believes his love of sales began way back then. In fact his sister Leigh followed in those same footsteps and is currently a Realtor® in Annapolis, Maryland. Tim’s love of Real Estate sales comes not only from his Mother’s success and enthusiasm for the industry, but from Tim’s own experience in moving here and now introducing his many client’s to our region. “I love selling in this very special corner of the world, but it doesn’t really feel like a sales career. I like talking to people… what their Real Estate needs are, what they want and then figuring out how I can help them make that happen.”

Tim and his wife, Karen currently enjoy life in their country home located on 19 acres in Greene County along with their two dogs. Tim continues his service to the community as a member of the Greene County Rescue Squad. Karen enjoys her work at UVA Hospital as a Pediatric Intensive-Care Nurse. Family time is spent golfing, biking and hiking the Blue Ridge.
