We 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

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,read moreread less
epsteink2002 5/14/2018Highly likely to recommend Kim Doner has been representing my wife and I since 2015. Initially we were just keeping tabs on what's going on in the market. After we were married in 2016 we became much more serious in finding a home and raising a family. Kim always checked in to see how we were doing. She would advise us on things to consider when starting a family, advantages/disadvantages of different homes and share her honest feedback on places we were interested in. Her priority seemed to be making sure we would be happy in the long run.
We bought a house with Kim's recommendation this year. Kim was always available, helped us every step of the way during the process and made it as painless as possible. She was constantly in contact with us and followed up to see how we were doing. She treated us more like a good friend than just an agent/client relationship. She gave us great recommendations on different resources we can work with during and after closing of escrow which has been extremely helpful. She is still reaching out and in contact with us even after close of the sale and making sure we are doing ok and happy.
We have seen multiple properties which she was representing the seller. They would have an excellent presentation and attract a ton of potential buyers. Also, Kim's knowledge of the South Bay market is unrivaled.
We have always been treated with respect and kindness by Kim and her assistant Lauren. We would not hesitate to work with them again for any future house endeavors.read moreread less
Katie C. 11/14/2016
We 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
hollymrichardson 8/28/2016Bought a Single Family home in 2016 in Southwood, Torrance, CA. I have worked with Kim Doner for about 5 years looking for the perfect house for us. She never got frustrated with the length of time it took or wavered in her commitment to help us find our home. I almost didn't go look at the house we ultimately bought because I didn't want to waste her time. She encouraged us to come see it and helped us put together a compelling offer in terms of price, terms, financing, etc. Once in escrow she was on top of the details and deadlines. She gave us invaluable contacts for a handyman, landscape architect, moving company, painter, and more. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor in this area.read moreread less

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. read moreread less
BradBarron2 2/28/2018Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2018 in Hawthorne, CA. 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
cthomas1179 5/09/2023Bought 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.read moreread less
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
richreed67 12/03/2017Bought a Condo home in 2017 in New horizons south bay, Torrance, CA. Kimberly is the epitome of a professional and a pleasure to do business with. Her knowledge of the market helped us to get a great price for our condo. Later, her expertise helped us to make an offer on another condo that was accepted in a very competitive market. She's the best.read moreread less
zuser20150402074238836 12/02/2020Highly likely to recommend STOP YOUR SEARCH + LOOK NO FURTHER - Kim Doner IS THAT INCREDIBLE!
After pondering off and on for 2 years, working with only Kim and Lauren from beginning to end, we committed to selling our home in Southwood Torrance.
A true professional whose guidance we trusted and could lean on, we never once questioned or second guessed our decision working with Kim - which says so much when you have endless options.
Due to her wonderful diligence and expertise, we sold our home for more than we had ever allowed ourselves to imagine.
Work with Kim, trust her process, know she has your best interest at heart, and you too will be singing her praises.
Our family is not only thankful for Kim Doner the exceptional realtor, but also for Kim and her family whom we gained as friends ??read moreread less
Matt M. 4/30/2019
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! 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
John K. 10/04/2016
Excellent service and professionalism by Kimberly. Kimberly was sincere and helpful from beginning to end. Just the type of person you need when looking for your first home. She is very knowledgeable around the South Bay area, and informed us of everything from quiet neighborhoods, good schools, and up an coming areas. She also has a person for everything (any questions or work that needs to be done - she knows or has a person she can recommend) She was flexible with timing and availability when I requested to visit a property. Her response time for any of my questions must have been within 10 minutes. She gave us her honest view which helped us make an informative decision. I would definitely recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a new home! read moreread less
