How we get it done:
Our behind-the-scenes team will customize your marketing campaign, utilizing everything from social media ads to property flyers, brochures, and targeted postcard mailers to get the word out.
Exclusive to Compass, our Concierge Capital program can help you enhance the marketability of your home and simplify the process of preparing it for sale. From deep-cleaning to cosmetic improvements, Kim and her team will work with you to assess every opportunity to elevate your home’s value. Once the necessary improvements have been determined, Compass Concierge can provide clients a personal loan with zero due until closing (after a flat origination fee of $750) to help prepare your home for market. We’ll even assist with vendor coordination so you can stay focused on creating your next chapter.
When it’s time for broker previews and open houses, there will already be a healthy buzz about your property. Our reputation and relationships with the South Bay real estate community drive an added level of trust, comfort, and confidence.
Kim’s sales-to-list price ratio is 30% higher than the average local agent’s.

How we get it done:
You’ll start with our detailed questionnaire and then visit our South Bay office for a personal consultation that sets you up powerfully on your home buying journey. If we both feel it’s a good fit, we’ll formalize the relationship and get the ball rolling. Your customized pre-buyer package will leave you armed with information and confident about the buying process.
Our team’s unwavering commitment will put you in peak position to snag that special home and make a smart investment. You’ll leave informed, on task, and excited about the possibilities!
Case in point
Kim started by asking what WE wanted in our first home (honestly, this is more rare than you think – most agents tell you what you should want without really listening) and armed with that information, she guided us on the best locations in the South Bay to begin our search. But Kim’s real value kicks in after your offer is accepted. Her deep knowledge for the home buying process and her responsiveness to our questions put us completely at ease throughout escrow. In addition, Kim’s network of inspectors, handymen, and contractors helped us take care of all the necessary work needed on our new home before we moved in. And to top it off, after we closed, Kim and her assistant Lauren offered to help manage some of the work being done on the home while we were on vacation (even offering to go to the home to let workers in!).
