What our Clients Think
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

We are so happy that we chose Kim as our broker! Kim, Tom, and all of her team played a crucial role in buying our first home, which was especially important in today's competitive market. She was very knowledgeable and responsive during the entire process! Kim talked about real estate in a way that a regular person could easily understand, answered all of our questions, and always made time for us. Kim's advice about writing a "love letter" to the seller was the key for getting the house we wanted. Even after we bought the house, Kim has continued to provide us with support; she has recommended both a general contractor for renovations and a cleaner and both of them have been amazing! We can never thank her enough. We are also thankful for another realtor, Tom, who is on her team. He spent so many weekends with us to make sure we found the perfect home for us. We strongly recommend Kim and her team! read moreread less

I cannot say enough positive comments to describe our experience with Kimberly. After interviewing 3 Realtors from 3 different companies, our choice was clear, Kimberly made a great impression from the beginning, knowledgeable, caring, respectful and great ideas to make our experience smooth, easy going, with the ultimate goal of maximizing our selling price, which I have to say, was Record Setting for our area. She made us feel confident in her ability from day one, so we listened and went with her ideas, which ultimately brought us the results we could only hope for. Thank you so much Kimberly for everything, we truly enjoyed working with you and would refer you to anybody looking to sell there home.
All the Best,
Robert and Sandraread moreread less
peterjaylee 3/27/2025Bought a Single Family home in 2025 in Southwood, Torrance, CA. When my family and I started looking for our forever home--a close friend recommended Kim Doner, and we couldn't be happier that they did. From start to finish, Kim was incredible. She made sure we felt informed and confident at every stage of the home-buying process, which made the whole experience so much smoother. Her deep knowledge of the South Bay and its neighborhoods was invaluable, helping us zero in on exactly what we were looking for. Thanks to Kim, we found our dream home, and we can't recommend her highly enough!read moreread less

There're so many good things about Kim, that we don't even know where to start. We are first time homebuyers and we've been talking about buying a house for a few years now. Seeing how competitive the market is nowadays, we started reaching out to realtors for general advice. At the time we found Kim, we had already talked to a few well rated realtors that specialized in the South Bay area, but at the end of the first consultation with Kim, we knew she was THE ONE. Unlike the other realtors we reached out to, Kim was very personable, always checked in on us, always followed up with other parties involved and most importantly, always talked about real estate in a way a regular person could easily understand. This meant the world to us as first time homebuyers; she alleviated any anxiety of buying a home and truly made it a fun and exciting experience. She really likes to get to know the buyer so that she makes sure to get the perfect house. At the same time, she meant business and she's strategic too. When it came to bidding wars (which is always the case in the South Bay), she always got us into being one of the top considerations. Houses that we didn't end up getting just got to the point where we thought it wasn't worth it, but it helped us get a feel of how competitive the market really was and the market is crazy. Kim really helped us prepare for that. But oh boy, when we found a house that we really wanted, she really fought for it. Lo and behold, WE GOT IT! We found out from the seller that the way a realtor does business on the buying end truly matters. It was all thanks to Kim! If I could describe Kim in one word it would be: synergy. She's always in sync the sellers, the lender, and us. Whenever I'd ask or follow up on something, she'd already been working it and I'd get it within minutes. In addition Kim has an arsenal of contacts for anything you need, whether it be for renovations, fixes, services, you name it- she's got it!(and yes, she's also recommended us a lot of good restaurants :)) Overall, to us, she's way more than just a realtor because she'd go above and beyond to get the perfect house for you. Her and her executive assistant, Lauren, are heaven sent. She'd be the first person to call if we do ever decide to get another house, but to be honest, I think we'll be staying at the current house that she helped us get for a long while because it's that perfect. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. read moreread less

Selling 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

Kim Doner helped me purchase my first house and her work was amazing! She helped me from the very start, learning about all the ins and outs of home buying, all the way to end and continues to stay in contact whenever I need any help. She was knowledgeable, efficient, understanding and professional in every sense. She always made sure I understood escrow, inspections, repairs (etc) and what the was going to be happening next. On top of that, she knew was very easy to get a hold of, relate to, and continued to follow up even when my busy schedule made it difficult.
It was a pleasure working with Kim and I would recommend her to anyone, whether they have little experience or have a vast amount of knowledge of the process.read moreread less
user9832883 2/20/2013Bought a home in 2012 in CA 90503. As first-time buyers, my husband and I were excited and a bit nervous about purchasing a home. The process could not have gone smoother. From the first meeting when we received our loan pre-approval to the day we got the keys, Kim was with us every step of the way, making sure we were comfortable with our decision. She accommodated our busy schedules -- my husband's with his job and mine as the mother of a young toddler -- by sending us documents to sign electronically and even meeting with inspectors at our new home when we couldn't be there. Her own experience in doing a recently major home renovation allowed us to see houses beyond the cosmetic. My family is now happily settled into our new home and we have Kim to thank.read moreread less
singhal3 2/04/2017Bought a home in 2016 in CA 90501. I have known Kim Doner for the last three years while I looked for a suitable property. With her help, we finally closed escrow on a house we really liked. In her role and in her relationship with me as her client, she has consistently out-performed by staying in touch and responding to my queries and during escrow, advising on how to get out of an impasse in negotiations. In my view and judgment, she qualifies for the title of a super agent. I would without hesitation, recommend her to anyone as their agent, as she has the best interest of her client always and in every situation. Tararead moreread less

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 price! 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 we needed. She is super organized, and detail originated. Kim 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. read moreread less
Melody G. 7/19/2022Kim gave us a great first-time home buying experience in 2012 and she delivered once again when we purchased our second home this month. She helped us buy in our desired neighborhood where listings are scarce and homes are snatched up within days they hit the market. In this competitive environment, Kim was also able to get us our purchase price under asking! We definitely recommend Kim to anyone looking for a trustworthy realtor who looks out for your best interests.read moreread less

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!read moreread less
Clare B. 12/07/2023We are beyond satisfied with our experience with Kim. She made it possible for us to sell our property in the best price considering the high interest rates. She is very thorough, systematic and methodical in her approach to selling the house. She gave great attention to every small detail in a task of selling. Aside from her impeccable selling skills she is very approachable and down to earth. She will answer your every question and she makes sure to take your calls. We had a very wonderful experience with her and recommend her to everyone who is selling their houses. You will never regret getting her services. She goes over and beyond your expectations.read moreread less
brie j. 5/09/2023Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2023 in Rolling hills, CA. Where do I start? Kim is simply the best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with. She goes far beyond just professionalism, she literally made me feel like I was her #1 priority, even though I know she was juggling other clients. My needs & requests during the process never seemed to fluster her - which I greatly appreciated since I know I can be a tad high maintenance 🙂 I’ve unfortunately have dealt with some horrible agents so I am truly grateful that kim restores my faith in what a top notch agent can be.read moreread less
