Your Home Is Our Priority

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2023 in Rolling hills, CA. We worked with Kim on selling our newly remodeled townhome and purchasing our dream home in Rolling Hills Estates. After not having the most favorable of experiences with previous agents, Kim was a welcomed change. Kim came highly recommended by a trusted person in the industry who we had worked with several times in the past. Kim is professional, honest, and detail oriented. Kim has excellent negotiation skills, and her work ethic is second to none. Kim’s calm and data-driven approach to real state helped put us at ease in stressful and emotional situations that occasionally arose during the buying and selling process. Kim also has a fantastic team around her that can help with anything a new homeowner might need. From handymen to chicken coops to pool guys, Kim has a contact she can pull up in minutes. Kim is a highly talented agent – we are grateful to have found her and will be using her again in the future.

Highly likely to recommend We first spoke with Kim a few years ago and she was very professional and helpful. When we started our search for a new home, we thought of Kim and reached out to her once again. If we could dream up an ideal realtor who checks off all the boxes for us, she is the one!

1. She is so knowledgeable about the market. We felt so confident knowing that we had Kim on our team and we felt like we would definitely get our dream home.

2. She is very responsive. My husband and I both appreciate professionalism and she is top notch. She not only responds quickly but will go above and beyond with more information. Responding to texts or writing an offer and hashing out details can be time sensitive and the difference between getting the house or not- and Kim is an expert! She might be working 24 hours a day, or has a clone- because how could anyone be this amazing??

She also helped us rent our first home. She helped us with the process and offered valuable advice all along the way!

Lauren was also wonderful and such a great resource! Searching for a home goes beyond just the search. It felt like the search is the start and writing an offer and going through escrow is level 2. We are so lucky we got to work with Kim and got our dream home! We couldn’t be happier and still can’t believe how painless the whole process was during such a competitive market. Thank you so much Kim and Lauren! You are simply the best!

Sold a Single Family home in 2011 in Southwood, Torrance, CA. Kimberly Doner Realtor, DRE # 01828186 KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY 23670 Hawthorne Blvd., #100 Torrance, CA 90505

Dear Kim:

I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for all the help you provided with the recent sale of my home on Ladeene Avenue.

At a time when you continually hear about how difficult it is to sell a home, you certainly quelled all my fears. As we charted out our path toward this sale, you assured me that you would provide support and resources along the way. Well, you certainly exceeded my expectations at every turn. Even though I was going to be away on a trip, you were able to coordinate and oversee the renovations to my home. The resources you found for the work to be done were professional and exacting in their work. They kept to their work schedule and completed the project on time. But, I knew you were monitoring their progress along the way.

Now of course I had a home that was ready but would it sell. Again, with your professional guidance, this was not an issue. The time we spend reviewing recent comps for the area and your knowledge about sales activities allowed us to establish a price that was fair and enticing to buyers. With offers to review I was thrilled that we were in escrow within a week. And even with a few issues along the way, you provided all the necessary support to make the process very smooth.

I cannot begin to express my appreciation for the level of professionalism you displayed throughout this process. Your calm and knowledgeable approach to this stressful process was exactly what I was looking for in an agent. You can be assured that your name will be on the top of my referral list.

Sincerely,

Colette Steele

Bought a home in 2011 in CA 91302. It was a pleasure working with Kim Doner and we are pretty satisfied with the house we bought. Kim has all the skills as a successful realty agent. We will certainly recommend Kim to our colleagues and friends when we are asked for reference.

We are extremely happy using Kim Doner as our agent to sell our home. We decided to interview 3 other agents, she was our last interview and we almost canceled thinking we had made a choice on one of the others. Give yourself the chance and interview her. Just like the other reviews, she was prepared for our interview with stats, knowledge on our community and and explained her plan on marketing our home. She was good at explaining any questions we had and was frank about what the home needed to be sell ready.
We had been DIY fixing our home for the last 2 years. Then we had decided to retire and move out of state. So she had a team to help support the finishing work that needed to done in a timeline that worked for us. She has a picked a strong team that we used to help groom the home that made it market ready. I loved that home before and loved it even more after she was done with it (within our budget). Which sold just over 8% of listing.
It was also a good experience working with her team during the sale since we where out of state. She was always a pleasure to talk with and kept us informed though all the steps from start to finish.
We are now in Missouri looking for our retirement home and I WISH we could have found someone like Kim help us with that. But they are not Kim,

Hello potential buyer(s),
First of all congratulations on your future home! From our experience, we know that Kimberly Doner is an amazing realtor that will be the best choice for you. Before we picked Kim as our realtor, we talked to two other realtors that we're also popular picks in the area. However, after assessing, we knew without a doubt that Kim was the most knowledgeable and qualified out of all our picks. And even though she knew we were still deciding on which realtor to pick when we first talked to her, she still gave us her time, knowledge and went above and beyond what we expected. She is patient, informative, and logical and the list goes on. She has a great team that is always readily prepared with any information or sources. Everyone is very pleasant and it was such a great experience working with her. She always responded so quickly, always took her time over the phone to explain things to us and always texted back instantly. We don't know how she does it. She will get the job done and she will do so having you as her priority. She has a connection for anything so you don't ever have to worry about finding a trustworthy person that will do the job right. We will definitely, without a doubt, recommend her to whoever we know that wants to buy a house. We could not have found a better home, Oliver has so much fun running around our giant backyard! Thank you Kim Doner for helping us attain our amazing home.
Stephanie, Ryan & Ollie

Highly likely to recommend I don't even know where to start. 10 Years ago, my husband found Kim and was interested in selling our home in Torrance to get off a busy street. She showed him countless other homes and he decided not to sell at that time. Kim had continued to show us homes throughout the last 10 years and never once pushed us.

Earlier this year, my husband and I found a home we thought we loved and decided to let the listing agent of that house be our buyers agent so we could get an additional discount. I let Kim know and she showed such class. She let us know she was still here for us still with anything we needed. We knew inside the house we were going to buy wasn't right for us so we backed out and called Kim. She harbored no ill-will and GOT TO WORK.

About 2 months ago, Kim found a house that checked all of our boxes for what our family needed. She quickly got our old house ready to sell and handled all the vendors and scheduling HERSELF. This took the burden off my husband and I and this was just what we needed.

All in all, Kim got us NINE OFFERS over asking. NINE. It closed 7 days after the house that we purchased. Kim's timeline for not having us pay two mortgages and getting us out of our old house couldn't have turned out better. She had a plan and NAILED it.

Oh, and her assistant Lauren, She can be as professional as needed, show up at any time needed for vendors, give great recommendations and even play hide and seek with my toddlers when they start to loose their mind with all this Real Estate stuff. She, too, wears many hats.
We will forever live in our dream house... thanks to Kim Doner!

Highly likely to recommend We recently worked with Kim to sell an investment property. The property had been a rental for many years and needed work. Kim was extremely knowledgeable about the improvements we needed to make in order to get the greatest return on our investment. She coordinated everything with the repair crew and also recommended a wonderful staging company. Kim and her associates were professional, quick to respond, and made the whole experience as stress-free as possible. In the end, the property looked amazing! We received multiple offers and it sold quickly for more than the asking price. We are extremely happy with Kim's services and will definitely use her for any future real estate transactions.

Highly likely to recommend Kim Doner is not only a friend and a neighbor, but a fantastic realtor. Recently, I had the opportunity to work with Kim and her team while purchasing my first home.
Kim and her assistant, Lauren, worked long hours, were always available to answer questions and would go out of their way to make sure I had the accurate and up-to-date information.
Kim's negotiating skills during the purchase process were outstanding; as the home I purchased required updates and repairs. I was also able to take advantage of several of Kim's professional contacts and their expertise during and after the close of escrow.
Although the purchase of a home and all that goes with it can be a challenge, I thank Kim and her team for making this first time home buyer's experience as easy as possible.
Sincerely,
Ryan Baker

Highly likely to recommend Kim 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! 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 needed. She is super organized, and detail originated. She 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.

Highly likely to recommend I began the process of first-time-home-buying by soliciting advice and support from my office co-workers and out-of-state family. However, due to LA's extremely competitive housing market, I never quite felt comfortable or prepared for the work to come. Everyone also loves their agent and after some careful research, it was clear why a recommendation for Kim stood out. I agreed to a meet and greet, and immediately felt more prepared and at ease with the idea of her helping us find a home.

Kim is not only experienced when it comes to the process of buying a home, but she's also very much in the know when it comes to talking to competitive and reliable lenders, contractors, inspectors, you name it. She has lists and lists and lists of people that she swears by, and to this day I'm still using some of her awesome referrals and would probably be out of pocket on some serious cash had I not taken her advice.

At the end of the day, you want an agent who works as hard, or harder than you do to stay on top of things. Kim and Lauren (her incredibly awesome executive assistant) were effectively available around the clock to talk or answer dumb questions on almost any subject. Both my partner and I had crazy complicated hours due to our jobs, but we were still able to keep up with Kim & Lauren and turnaround offers and documents on a very convenient schedule. There's a reason why almost every agent we met at an open house knew of Kim, and there truly is a reason why Kim is so highly rated and respected on sites like these - she performs and leaves her clients very, very happy.

We had someone recommend Kim to us and we couldn't be more grateful for it. She was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly to work with. Kim always kept us informed and used her expertise to give us the best service. She always went above and beyond - nights and weekends. She even provided us with names and resources to help out once we had our new home. If you are buying or selling a house, look no further than Kim Doner.

Showed home in 2013 in CA 90278. Kim is excellent at her job. She is very knowledgeable and extremely thorough. She made detailed charts of comps and provided full details of all homes we toured together. I trust her expertise and highly recommend her to help with buying and selling a home.

We recently purchased a property in South Redondo, but live out of state. From the first interaction with Kim, we knew we were in great hands. Kim quickly engaged in our pursuit of a second home and did not stop until we were completely satisfied. Kim is very knowledgeable and approaches the relationship as a true partnership. She understands the goals of the client and executes--whether through active listening or connecting us with professionals in other areas that could assist in the process. Kim continues to be a resource for improvements to the home. I highly recommend using Kim if you have an interest in purchasing in the South Bay area. She is a true professional!

Highly likely to recommend As first-time buyers and fairly new to the area, Kim was excellent in making the process as smooth as possible.
She helped us find properties within our budget and geographic requirements and when we were ready to make an offer, she guided us through the process and all of the documents so that we could move along as smoothly and quickly as possible.
It was a pleasure working with Kim to get our home, and we would definitely recommend her to anyone else looking to buy in the South Bay.
