What our Clients Think
- Brad B. 2/28/2018Highly likely to recommend When my wife and I decided to buy our first home, we interviewed several agents in the South Bay and were so impressed with Kim. Highly personable, extremely knowledgeable on the South Bay, and a great process guide, Kim made the purchase process extremely smooth and enjoyable for us.
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 listening to you) 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 the work being done on the home (even offering to go to the home to let workers in!).
Overall, great experience and highly recommend Kim to anyone looking in the South Bay.read moreread less - beckyjchoung 7/18/2017Bought a Single Family home in 2017 in Palo del amo, Torrance, CA. My husband and I wanted to move from the Westside to the South Bay and we needed an expert in this area. After meeting with Kim for the first time, we just had a good feeling about Kim. I never imagined that the home buying process could actually be this painless! She was in constant communication with us and made sure that we understood every step of the process. She answered every single one of our many questions and helped us to weigh all the pros and cons so that we can make informed decisions. It's been just over two months since we first met with Kim and I am writing this review from our beautiful new home!read moreread less
- Milind D. 4/06/2022We 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
- Chris S. 10/19/2021I've worked with Kim through 3 transactions over 15 years and there's a reason she continues to earn my business. Unlike many real estate agents who seem like their primary concern is closing A deal, Kim's concern is always making sure it's the RIGHT deal for her clients. She found a way to get my family our dream home despite myriad issues and complications along the way by using not just her knowledge of the market and the industry but by employing some very creative thinking. She's easy to work with and maintains her kind personality while being professional. I tell all my friends to us her.read moreread less
- ryanbakeremail 11/01/2019Highly 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 Bakerread moreread less - Alexandra B. 2/08/2018My previous experience with real estate was a very poor advised purchase over 8 years ago that ended in a short sale. Having said that I have been very wary of the whole industry.
I was referred to Kimberly about 6 years ago to help me find a rental in Redondo Beach. Kimberly went out of her way to show me the property that would only be a rental.
A few years later she helped me purchase a condo in Torrance. She made the process seamless and efficient. 3 years later we needed to sell this condo, and Kimberly again stepped up to help us. I was at a point in time where I did not have much time to spare, and she basically said to trust her and she would make it very easy for me.
And that she did. She was patient and polite when I did not always respond in the timely manner. She made the process very simple for me and I put all my trust in her experience. With her professionalism and knowledge, I knew this would be a very manageable sale. We had multiple offers within a few days of putting the condo on the market and ultimately closed in 30 days way over the asking price. She is extremely organized, patient and always available for questions and clarification.
In the right hands I have regained my faith in the real estate market. I will be using Kimberly soon to help me purchase a home for me and my family. I highly recommend Kimberly in any real estate transactions you may need.read moreread less - Katie C. 11/14/2016We love Kim! My husband and I are so happy and were extremely impressed by our experience with Kim as our agent. From our first meeting with her through the close of escrow for our new home, Kim was smart, professional, attentive to every detail, informative and provided amazing advice. As first time homebuyers, Kim made everything so easy to understand and gave us great advice before every big decision we had to make along the way. We never imagined that the home buying process would be so pleasant, but Kim made it such a great experience. She led us in the right direction, and we ended up beating out two other offers to get into our home, which we love. We will be recommending Kim to everybody and anybody we know that is looking to buy or sell a home. She is truly a rockstar at what she does and hopefully you will be as lucky as we were to have her through this process as well.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 - maize 3/31/2018Highly likely to recommend I had an extremely positive experience working with Kim Doner and her team during the recent sale of my home. I contacted Kim after seeing positive results when she represented the seller in the sale of a neighboring unit in my townhome complex. From day one, Kim was extremely responsive to my needs and requests and always seemed to be one step ahead of things throughout the entire sale process. Kim has a dedicated team working with her and also has top notch references for all services needed during the sale process. This includes references for home improvements, cleaning, moving services, home staging, and many more. Kim has a wealth of experience that was evident when she smoothly navigated the sale process and calmly guided me through the complexities of it along the way. I was also quite delighted when I found out that Kim is very savvy with social media and marketing which I believe was critical for maximizing exposure to my listing and profit at completion of the sale. I plan to continue to work with Kim during future real estate transactions and I highly recommend her to others.read moreread less
- Steph G. 8/19/2021Kim is a trusted Realestate professional and truly incredible to work with. I have had the pleasure to work with Kim on dozens of Realestate transactions over the past 10 years. I would like to give her the highest recommendation possible and don't feel five stars is enough. Communication, reputation in the local market and top level negotiating skills has been my experience every time but on top of that she has a great personality and team and is a lot of fun to work with too.read moreread less
- vongocnhi 10/26/2021Highly likely to recommend Kimberly is not only a skillful real estate agent but also a sweet and thoughtful person. Throughout the sale of our home, she offered the most responsive, helpful and productive service. She and her team made our home become the record sale in its neighborhood with multiple offers within couple days and ended up with above asking price. I can't thank you enough for her hard-working and positive spirit. If I ever need a real estate agent again, I will always go for Kimberly.read moreread less
- Matt M. 4/30/2019We 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!read moreread less
- DerekVanPelt 6/17/2016Bought a Single Family home in 2016 in Harbor city, Harbor city, CA. Kim was absolutely amazing in helping us find our perfect house! She worked non-stop for us and her staff, including Alan Butler, visited every house with us and worked around our schedules. Couldn't have asked for anything better!read moreread less
