What our Clients Think
- user4215995 10/28/2021Highly likely to recommend I can't imagine a better agent to work with than Kim Doner. I've had the pleasure of working with her twice; first on selling my mom's house and then selling mine. She really does her research and is extremely familiar with the areas and properties. She helped me to get my place in order and then list it, and made the place look like brand new while still keeping an eye on not over-spending on non-essential fixings. I received 7 offers, all over asking price. Unfortunately I'm moving out of state and won't be able to have her as my agent for any future listings. If I could clone her, I would! Kim definitely sets the bar high, being very professional, courteous, and responsive. Do yourself a HUGE favor and hire her as your agent! You won't regret it!read moreread less
- Grant U. 10/24/2018Our experience with Kimberly and her team was nothing short of amazing! They made the experience for us as stress-free as possible. They found us a place in the area we wanted and under our budget! That was no easy task. We could not believe the incredible amount of patience they had with us. Always willing to answer our questions honestly and thoroughly and made sure we understood everything at every step in the process before, during, and even after the closing of escrow. It was so refreshing to see that level of customer service and dedication.
We cannot thank you enough for your diligence.
Liz and Grantread moreread less - Rodney S. 8/12/2022Selling your home comes with a-lot of emotions. It naturally becomes a stressful situation. We put our trust and faith in Kimberly because she came strongly recommended by a close friend. Well, I am here to pass it forward. Kimberly came in and made the whole process as seamless as possible. Her reassurance to do everything in her power for a successful transaction was not just vocalized in the beginning of the process, but was felt throughout until completion. Her team and along with their efforts delivered optimal results for our family. We are grateful and thankful to Kimberly for her services.read moreread less
- Melissa D. 7/22/2018Highly likely to recommend Kim was AMAZING. As first time home buyers, Kim took the time to explain every step of the home buying process from start to finish. When searching for a house, Kim and her equally amazing assistant, Lauren, were proactive and incredibly responsive. They listened to critiques of houses we viewed to help us zero in on exactly what we were looking for.
The house we ended up buying received EIGHT offers. She walked us through our offer, helped us with pricing and ultimately closed the deal. But her service doesn't end there. Kim has amazing vendor contacts to ensure all quotes and services were done timely for a smooth close.
Finally, on top of being a great agent, she is lovely to work with. We could not be more grateful for the amount of care and attention she and Lauren provided during this special time in our lives.read moreread less - bobrognlien 6/15/2023Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2023 in Harbor city, Harbor city, CA. Kim has helped us sell/buy three houses and in each instance she has provided excellent representation. She is smart, hard-working, and attentive to all the details. She is a savvy marketer who has her finger on the pulse of the market and knows how to position your house for maximum value. She does an amazing job helping you make your house look the best it possibly can. If you are looking for a home to buy, she has a vast network of listings and will help you find the place that is right for you. She is a firm, but fair negotiator and will make sure no one is taking advantage of you and you get a fair deal. I cannot recommend her more highly. If you choose to enlist her services, you will not be disappointed!read moreread less
- mmuhr48 7/11/2016Bought a Single Family home in 2016 in Harbor city, Harbor city, CA. It has been such a pleasure working with Kimberly Doner! My husband and I were referred to her by a mutual friend because she had expertise in the South Bay Area - specifically Torrance, CA. Because she has local knowledge, she was able to show us homes in areas with great schools and amenities for parents of young children. Furthermore, she is very knowledgeable and professional in all dealings and was able to assist us - first-time home buyers - through the process of buying a house. Kimberly's negotiation skills are excellent. She was able to negotiate on our behalf with the seller so that we received the best deal possible. Lastly, her team at Keller Williams was incredible and patient with us throughout the process. Her associate, Alan Butler, was our right-hand man as well. In fact, he took the time to film a video of the house for us that we eventually bought prior to us seeing it for the first time. I would highly recommend Kimberly for more than the above mentioned qualities! It has been a pleasure working with her and connecting with her!read moreread less
- zuser20150603162132026 4/06/2022Highly likely to recommend We worked with Kim for both, buying a new home and selling our existing home. She is extremely knowledgeable. Thanks to her efforts we were able to secure the house despite multiple offers. Based on her advice we were able to sell our property at an excellent price. She has excellent local references which proved very useful to us. She is very professional to work with and kept us up to date on all the developments. We would recommend her in a heartbeat.read moreread less
- Amie D. 12/29/2020We had a wonderful experience with Kim. She was very professional and had great communication at all times. We felt confident throughout the process knowing we had Kims expertise and wealth of knowledge. We were able to purchase a home that we love with her help! Thanks Kim!!read moreread less
- sandiegomoto 1/17/2020Highly likely to recommend Kim helped me to sell my investment home in Torrance. Kim is a true professional; not only does she know the real estate market inside and out, she is exceptionally well-versed in every aspect of the transaction. Kim made quick market research to come up a strategic market plan with an appropriate list price while also connecting me with an amazing staging company to prepare my property for sale. She was always quick to respond and one step ahead of everyone else involved. As the result, I could accept an amazing offer (buy as it is with $25K higher listing price) among 5 multiple offers less than 10 days. Kim completed to close the escrow 27 days. I recommend her professional work strongly.read moreread less
- Jen V. 4/02/2020If you are looking for a real estate agent that combines professionalism, expertise in her field, and is easy to work with, look no further than Kim Doner. Kim is an excellent agent and we would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
We interviewed several agents when starting our home buying process and Kim was, by far, our top choice. From day one, she was a great listener and really took the time to understand what our family wanted in a new home. We were looking for our house for over a year, yet Kim always kept close tabs on our needs and prospective properties and never pressured us into a house we weren't in love with. Eventually, we found our perfect house -- and Kim's professional contacts and expert negotiation tactics helped get our offer accepted over 14 other bids without stretching our budget. Once in escrow, she was organized and on top of the entire process -- her quick thinking also helped us overcome some unforeseen hurdles in the appraisal process and allowed us to close on time. Kim even set us up with multiple tried-and-true contractors and other home improvement vendors to help us make our new home our own. It's safe to say that without Kim Doner as our agent, we definitely wouldn't have gotten our dream home--and we couldn't be happier!read moreread less - nicholasbunker 5/27/2021Highly likely to recommend As first time home buyers, we couldn’t have been more fortunate in our choice of realtors. Kim and her team have a high standard of excellence that exceeds five stars. Kim was reliably attentive at all times, and always quick to answer via text or phone. She took the time to walk us through every step and question, and spent many nights and weekends talking with us. She always made us feel as though we were her number one priority. In addition to the unmatched service, Kim's expertise was truly refreshing, and her attention to detail is beyond compare. Kim had an unflustered, solid answer for every unknown scenario that came our way (everything from recommendations for legal advice to inspectors, contractors, cleaners, etc.) While that may be expected in a realtor, it’s obvious that everyone in Kim’s circle has been carefully vetted, as the quality of trustworthiness & service is equal in every direction she points. Working with Kim makes the massive decision of buying a home seem manageable, comfortable and safe. Her kind, down to earth honesty and approachability extends to her entire team. She got us to the accepted offer stage not once but TWICE in an unprecedented competitive market, in the exact neighborhood we sought. To work with her is to be in very good hands, and anyone selling or buying should look no further.read moreread less
- Stephanie S. 4/19/2020Kim Doner is an absolute rockstar agent! She came highly recommended to us by our banker, and after meeting with a few other agents she definitely stood out. From start to finish, her tenacity, knowledge, and dedication got us $75,000 over asking price! Kim was always one step ahead, using her expertise to guide us in making good decisions. Selling and buying a home can be very overwhelming, but Kim made the process stress-free and seamless. She is extremely reliable, and responsive-answering texts and emails day and night. We really appreciated how approachable and patience Kim was, no question was to big or to small. She was always willing to explain things in detail and go over contracts line by line if we needed. She is super organized, and detail originated. Kim also has amazing resources whom we used to help elevate our home, we never had to source vendors or handy man. Kim will be our forever agent, if in the future we ever needed one again. We highly recommend Kim! Also, Lauren, her assistant is just as hardworking and a pleasure to work with.read moreread less
- user64164701 5/05/2023Sold a Single Family home in 2023 in Northwest torrance, Torrance, CA. Kim Doner was incredible to work with. She is personable, passionate, thoughtful, caring and made the whole process of selling out home so easy. Kim is very knowledgeable about what it takes to sell a home. Her and her team worked so hard to get everything in place and it seemed like everything fell into place so quickly and smoothly. We received multiple offers above asking in a short time due to Kim’s hard work and dedication. She made herself available to us through the whole process. I highly recommend Kim and her team if you are looking to buy or sell a property.read moreread less
- Alona T. 10/23/2021For a first time homebuyer like me, it could be an overwhelming experience. Kim walked us through every step of the way. It was not pure business on her part, it was not all about closing the deal. Kim will always ask "is this something that you would want?". She will point out both the pros and cons to make sure we will make an informed decision. We finally found our home. Kim and her team were the forces behind the fulfillment of this dream.read moreread less
