Tim Freund turns a year-old listing into a sale within 7 days
Luxury agent sells faster, stands out in a crowded market, and delivers a digital experience that converts—effortlessly.
Background
An established luxury agent serving the Southern California market
With over two decades of experience in Southern California real estate, Tim Freund has built a reputation for excellence serving high-end markets including Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, and Calabasas.
Specializing in properties ranging from $600,000 to multi-million dollar estates, Tim differentiates himself through sophisticated marketing, compelling storytelling, and technological innovation – crucial elements in the competitive luxury space where clients expect exceptional service.
Challenges
Standing out in a saturated luxury market was becoming harder
In Southern California’s saturated real estate market, standing out among thousands of agents had become increasingly difficult. “Everyone knows multiple agents, so differentiation is crucial,” Tim explains.
Before Studeo, Tim’s digital marketing was limited to a basic landing page system with simple links to photos, tours, and documents. “It was functional but uninspiring—just a collection of elements with no cohesion or storytelling,” he recalls.
Tim needed a solution that would:
• Create memorable, distinctive presentations
• Drive deeper buyer engagement
• Showcase properties with a compelling narrative
“
After sitting on the market for a year, we relaunched with Studeo and sold in one week—with multiple offers and no negotiation.

Solution
Tim uses Studeo to create immersive content experiences that win listings and sell homes faster.
After discovering Studeo through Facebook, Tim completely revolutionized his marketing approach. He now creates two distinct types of Storybooks that work together in his marketing ecosystem:
- Listing Presentation Storybooks: Custom-designed interactive presentations that showcase Tim’s marketing prowess, past successes, and comprehensive selling strategy. These include before/after transformation examples, testimonials, and embedded CMA data.
- Property Marketing Storybooks: Rich, interactive property brochures that combine professional photography, 3D Matterport tours, video walkthroughs, and Tim’s signature storytelling copy. These become the centerpiece of his digital marketing strategy.
“When competing for million-dollar listings, I can show sellers professional Studeo presentations while other agents offer iPhone photos and paper brochures. The difference is obvious,” Tim explains.
Results
Faster sales, unprecedented engagement, and a truly differentiated brand.
Since adopting Studeo as his core marketing platform, Tim has transformed how he markets and sells high-end homes in Southern California. He took over a property that had sat unsold for a year, implemented $10,000 in improvements, and relaunched it with Studeo—selling it within one week with multiple offers. Another luxury listing generated 25,000 page views through its Storybook and ultimately sold for $4.3 million, marking a new level of digital engagement for Tim’s brand.
Sellers are consistently impressed by the polish and sophistication of his Studeo presentations, which Tim now uses to win listings and establish instant credibility. “There’s nothing else like this in real estate marketing,” he explains.
With Storybooks fully integrated into his digital strategy, Tim activates marketing across platforms before a sign even hits the lawn. “For the cost of one magazine ad, I can create unlimited pieces that start working immediately—we hit the ground running.”
