Timothy Powles is a caring, knowledgeable REALTOR® with Adam Timothy Group in Austin — combining deep local market expertise with a genuinely personal approach to help clients find their dream home or sell for top value.

Timothy is widely regarded as one of the best buyer's agents in Austin — and that's exactly what makes him such an effective listing agent. Because he knows intimately what drives Austin buyers, how they search, what wins them over, and what makes them walk, he positions and markets a seller's home to land with the people most likely to buy it. Sellers get an agent who already thinks like their buyer.

Timothy's expertise goes well beyond buying and selling. He's known for sharp negotiating skills, smart strategy, and in-depth market knowledge that give his clients a real competitive edge. That approach shows in the results: he has grown the practice several times over in just a few years, with the business expanding more than 50% in the past year alone. His friendly, attentive style has earned him a reputation for building strong, lasting relationships — clients become friends, and many become clients for life.

As a key member of Adam Timothy Group, Timothy draws on the team's collaborative approach to deliver exceptional service, whether he's guiding first-time buyers through their first offer or advising seasoned investors. When he first joined Compass, Timothy came on with the #1 real estate team in Austin before branching off to build his own. He has also built a robust community of trusted agent partners around the world, so his clients have a reliable resource no matter where life takes them.

Real estate was where Timothy started — and where he always meant to return. Before the kitchen, he spent years in property management in downtown Omaha, Nebraska, learning the business from the ground up. He then built a decade-plus career in hospitality and fine dining, rising to the top of one of the toughest, most demanding rooms there is — the professional kitchen — as an award-winning chef in Chicago. The very skills that made him exceptional on the line are what make him exceptional today: reading people, anticipating needs, performing under pressure, and treating every client like the most important person in the room. "Bringing hospitality to real estate" isn't a slogan — it's a method.

Alongside his husband, Adam Stanley, Timothy helps run AT Real Estate Group LLC — the parent company behind both the Adam Timothy Group brokerage practice and Adam Timothy Home, the couple's rental and vacation-property business. It's a perspective that comes full circle: from property management, through hospitality, to advising clients as both an agent and a hands-on investor.
