What our Clients Think
- Kate L. 8/18/2013Kim was, seriously, the best you could ever ask for. She got down to business immediately and met and exceeded all expectations. On top of that, she is just SUPER COOL, laid back - and her service is so personal - she gave me all kinds of advice on the area and celebrated my deal with CUPCAKES! i will use her for any real estate transaction whatsoever.read moreread less
- 2014happyowner 12/03/2014Bought a Townhouse home in 2014 in Redondo beach, CA. Kim was very helpful, patient and responsive. She was excellent in communicating technical questions we had about the home-buying and inspection process by contacting (and allowing us to communicate with) vendors or other third parties, as needed. She offered her advice appropriately, while still giving us the freedom to feel like we could make our own decisions with her knowledgeable experience. She made us feel like we were her only clients, even though she was actively working with others.
Kim made the buying process professional, yet we felt very comfortable in voicing our concerns. She was good at keeping things in perspective, remaining even-keeled and reasonably confident we could work through some of the challenges we faced in buying our home.read moreread less - Lara N. 3/15/2022Kim Doner is an exceptional real estate agent that worked with us constantly over a period of time, never giving up and in the end was successful in getting our offer excepted over a number of others. She goes above and beyond the call of duty for her clients, is always professional and responsive and is well versed in all aspects of real estate. She was truly a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone. She is the best of the best!read moreread less
- sandra c. 4/03/2020Highly likely to recommend From the very moment we met Kim, we could tell she was the right match for us! She was always readily available for a showing, gave honest feedback, and was never ever pushy which we so appreciate in a real estate agent. She was truly a breath of fresh air!
When it came time to put an offer in on our property, Kim diligently walked us through the entire process and made sure we were 100% comfortable with all the terms. And as we moved into the negotiation process, we always felt like she had our best interest at heart.
During escrow, we had a super tight timeframe to do all of our inspections and not only did Kim line everything up for us, but when new issues arised, she worked around the clock to get us bids and made sure that we knew exactly what we were undertaking financially before we committed to the property.
We feel extremely lucky to have found Kim - she brought a wealth of knowledge and compassion to the home buying experience and we couldn't be more excited to have found our new home!read moreread less - zuser20140915113424110 11/08/2016Bought a home in 2016. Kim helped me with a condominium purchase from 2015 through 2016. It was a new build situation so everything was delayed again and again. Throughout the purchase, from viewing through close of escrow, Kim was essential in coordinating between the funding company, the sales office, escrow, and myself to make sure everything went as smoothly as could be possible given the situation. The sales office was difficult to get a hold of and had odd hours but Kim was able to work with them and also work with me to pass on relevant information. She is on top of things and gets the job done!read 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
- emi i. 3/12/2024Bought a Single Family home in 2024 in Seaside, Torrance, CA. We worked with Kim to buy our forever family home in Torrance. As a Torrance local herself, she is extremely knowledgeable and helped us to narrow down the areas we were looking to purchase in. When she found the perfect property for us, she reached out to us immediately! She educated and guided us through the entire process, making this usually stressful and nerve-wracking time as easy as possible! Kim is very personable, hard-working, thoughtful and was a joy to work with. She was very well organized and timely to meet our accelerated time line. We could not have gotten everything done so smoothly without her. In addition, Kim has a fantastic network of resources from contractors, custom furniture to pool guys! She seems to have a contact for everything! Kim went above and beyond for us and we would highly recommend her to anyone. We are very grateful to have been able to work with her and would definitely work with her again in the future if given the chance.read moreread less
- zuser20170610213620456 2/08/2018Highly likely to recommend My 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 - Khuyen N. 5/22/2022We feel so grateful to have Kim as our real estate agent! As first-time homebuyers, we appreciated all the help and guidance that Kim offered. She patiently answered all our questions, thoroughly explained how the process works, and was there for us every step of the way. Even during the peak of the competitive housing market, Kim helped us find, and get our offer accepted on, a home within two weeks after meeting her. She is professional, diligent, organized, and knowledgeable, especially when it comes to the South Bay market. We would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!read moreread less
- jenn m. 10/31/2017Sold a Condo home in 2017 in Redondo beach, CA. Our experience in selling our California home with Kim Doner has been incredible. Being in the mortgage business and know a lot of agents, with so many agents to choose from we are beyond happy to have chosen Kim. She went above and beyond our expectations as a realtor. The suggestions she made from staging, updating, repairs and cleaning really made the difference in the sale of our home. We did not expect to get so many offers so quickly and well above asking price. We were out of the state and she handled all organizing and scheduling of our property. There would be no hesitation to use Kim again and reccomend her to all of our friends. She is a true professional and has extreme talent in real estate.read moreread less
- christinaleighwagner 7/30/2015Bought a Single Family home in 2015 in Redondo beach, CA. My husband & I worked with Kim while searching for our first home. As first time homebuyers and also new to the area, there was a lot to learn. Kim walked us through the entire process and provided all of the tools to be knowledgeable consumers. She gently guided us when we needed direction and was always there to answer all of our questions. We made a few offers which came down to stressful negotiations and she always kept her cool and offered sound advice. I strongly felt she had our best interests at heart throughout our (long) house hunt. I'm happy to say we have closed on our home which we will move in to this month and I am so grateful to Kim. I would highly recommend her again and again!read moreread less
- ibnanners 1/24/2019Highly likely to recommend We interviewed just over half a dozen realtors before selecting Kim Doner to represent us when selling our family home. While putting the list together for potential agents, we were first drawn to Kim by her strong sales stats and presence in the market specific to our neighborhood and community. We also noted the number of positive reviews, and the pattern of client experience we were seeing from one review to the next - the value placed not only on knowledge and expertise, but also on that level of personal connection to the client. Kim was a real standout from day one at the initial interview, and I can absolutely attest that she has lived up to every one of those 5 star reviews! She could not have made the process of updating and selling our home easier or more stress free for my sister and I. Kim has the patience of an angel. Her super power is in her ability to make you feel like her only task in life is to be there for you! Kim was always available to answer our questions, always present to the task, always paying close attention to the details. Her expertise and knowledge, her abundance of energy and confidence, and OUR absolute confidence in her, all went a long way in making the entire process as easy and pain free as can be expected when selling or buying a home.
We did quite a bit of updating to our home before listing it, to which Kim’s guidance was invaluable. Through her expertise and knowledge of current trends in the buyers market, Kim offered solid ideas for maximizing our selling price, while mindfully helping us keep within our budget. She has a great team of helpers that offer everything from inspection to staging - termite treatment and repairs, landscaping, painting, floor refinishing - you name it, Kim has connections for the job! I loved that she made a field trip out of going to the nursery with us and the landscaper to pick out just the right flowers for the yards. She really jumps in with both feet, which was both welcomed and appreciated, given neither my sister nor I possess the eye or knack for color or "aesthetic flow", which Kim seems to come by so naturally!
When listing day arrived, we were dazzled by the head to toe stunning transformation of the home “with good bones”, but starving for some TLC. Kim and her peeps - with a very special shoutout to Jodi and her team for the beautiful staging - took us to escrow after just days on the market! When all was said and done, I actually missed my daily updates from Kim - our experience was THAT pleasant!
Kim has it all - she is market smart, possesses all the knowledge, energy, resources, and PASSION - she will get the job done and make you feel pretty darn special along the way!read moreread less - Nick W. 1/21/2017My experience with Kim selling my condo was great. It was my first time ever selling so I wasn't sure what to expect but she gave a good explanation of how the process would go. This meant there would be no surprises along the way - which was very important to me. She also had a great marketing strategy and advised on how to show the property the best so that we could get multiple offers. I believe this is the reason the property sold for significantly above asking. She is very quick in responding to all concerns and questions and I appreciated that she accommodated my busy work schedule. When I buy/sell in the future I will definitely be staying with Kim Doner as my representative and I would recommend for you to do the same. These properties really don't just sell themselves especially if you want top dollar so make sure to get a good agent - Kim is one of the best!read moreread less
- Jennifer R. 7/25/2017We 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.read moreread less
