Areas of Expertise

Our Coldwell Banker office is located in the heart Big Bear Lake, California and is ideally located to serve and market to all of the other cities in the Big Bear Valley. Centrally located in Southern California, and surrounded by National Forest, the Big Bear Lake area is only a couple of hours away from all the major Southern California counties.

Big Bear Property ownership offers four seasons of fun. In winter and spring you can enjoy Big Bear Valley's great snow skiing and boarding at Bear Mountain and Snow Summit ski resorts. In summer and fall there is fishing, boating and water skiing in Big Bear Lake. There is also mountain biking, hiking, golfing, horseback riding, and many other scheduled events. Additionally, you'll find great shopping, dining, and of course, relaxing...which is big part of what owning Big Bear Real Estate is all about! All in all, Big Bear Lake
is a fantastic place to own a home for full time living or vacation use.

The fact is that the real estate market is booming in Big Bear Lake. And the prices of Big Bear homes and land that are currently being marketed by The Tim Wood Group are still very affordable. For investors that have given up on buying real estate "down the hill", Big Bear Real Estate is still a great investment opportunity. Quality Big Bear Properties can still be found at prices far below those that are found in the majority of Southern California's real estate markets. As with most markets, you'll find that our prices will vary depending on what location you want to buy your Big Bear Property in. Big Bear lakefront homes and estates are of course more expensive than a quaint cabin in some of the other areas of Big Bear, but you'll find all the areas offer their own unique investment opportunities. If you plan to buy a second home in the Big Bear Lake
area, then you may even want to consider a home that is suitable for a vacation rental program.

Another unique aspect of the Big Bear Lake market is the availability of raw land. Unlike the real estate market down the hill, you'll find that vacant land is readily available as an investment option. Whether you're buying land as an investment itself; buying it for the purpose of building a home on speculation, or building the custom home of your dreams, the Big Bear Real Estate market is ripe with opportunities. The experts at The Tim Wood Group are the area specialists in raw land subdivisions. And having developed a large portion of the Big Bear
area, we can help you with every aspect of this process including the names of quality builders in the Big Bear Lake area.

At The Tim Wood Group, our goal is to demonstrate that professionalism truly exists in the real estate industry, and our commitment is to prove this with every Big Bear Real Estate transaction we complete. Since 1976, we have sold more than 5000 Big Bear Properties, and we have been consistently been ranked in the top echelon for independent producers. We are also a Coldwell Banker franchise. And as such, we are members of Coldwell Banker's world-renowned referral network system.

"I first met Steve when the Agent that I had gone to see never showed up at the house he was supposed to show me. I called the number on the sign and as luck would have it, it was Steve's listing. He then took me to a home that I made an offer on and bought. I called him again to help me find a home for my son, and again I made an offer upon seeing it for the first time. Yes, I would recommend him in an instant. Mary Simone"

Dear Steve,

We wanted to send you a belated but heartfelt "Thank You" for finding us the perfect get away cabin.

We just spent a very relaxing and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend that included a boat tour around the wonderful lake, sledding at the Alpine Sled facility, Picnics, BBQ on our awesome deck, walks, and the list goes on!

You did such a wonderful job of listening to our needs and wants, and quickly put together a tour of homes that were all close to what we were looking for.

As for our new place on Sunset Ave., you found us the perfect spot, and just in time as things turned out, as you are well aware of!

We think it is pretty amazing that we were able to find our cabin after just one day of looking! Had we tried to look on our own, we would still be looking!

Your knowledge of the Big Bear area aside, we really appreciate your calm, professional and personable demeanor!

It is becoming increasingly rare in today's world, unfortunately, to get the Class "A" treatment that you provided to us.

The proof of this is when you had us follow you to the appliance store after our walk through to see if they sold a washer and dryer set that would fit through the narrow pass through to the laundry area. We got a big kick out of the way you took the lead, walked right into the store and politely yet directly asked the young lady working there if they had units in the particular width that we needed. That was just outstanding and we appreciate it. We will be insisting that our friends and acquaintances go through you for any future real estate needs in the Big Bear region!

Once again, Thank you and we hope to have you over for a BBQ in the near future. You and your family are always welcome!

Warmest regards,

Chris, John, Kayla, Cameron, and Cloe (She says "Hi to Steve") Krainock
