Leadership with lasting impact
Bridging schools, families, homes, and communities with distinction.
About Tim
Timothy Bohlke has built his career around a simple belief: meaningful results begin with strong relationships, clear purpose, and consistent follow-through.
Across more than 20 years in educational leadership, Tim has served as a superintendent, assistant superintendent, principal, and assistant principal in elementary, middle, and high school settings. His work has centered on building collaborative school cultures, strengthening instructional and student-support systems, developing staff, and creating genuine partnerships with families and communities.
That same people-first approach has guided more than three decades in real estate. Tim has served as Branch Manager of Howard Hanna | Rand Realty offices in Suffern, New York, and Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. He is also a licensed real estate instructor in New York and a licensed real estate professional in both New York and New Jersey, bringing integrity, discretion, market knowledge, and a steady focus on each client’s goals to his leadership, teaching, mentoring, and advisory work.
Whether supporting a school community, developing professionals, or helping a family make an important move, Tim brings the same qualities to the table: visible leadership, honest communication, thoughtful strategy, and a commitment to results that endure.

These reflections come from real estate clients, including people who returned to work with Tim across multiple transactions. Together, they speak to an approach grounded in knowledge, patience, optimism, and lasting trust.
“This is the second time we have hired Tim as our agent and we couldn’t be happier. He’s extremely knowledgeable and always gets us the answers to our questions. Tim’s constant optimism goes a long way when going through the stressful times of buying/selling a home.”
“In addition to his depth of knowledge about the market, he has extraordinary people skills and was truly an asset and comfort during a very stressful time! Tim’s expertise made the whole process run smoothly and efficiently, and I am grateful for his counsel and support.”
