What our Clients Think
bujordoina 12/05/2014Bought a Condo home in 2014 in Southwood riviera, Torrance, CA. Kim was very professional and at the same time very friendly. We felt like she dedicated all her time to solve our issues and answer our questions. Negotiated on our behalf what should be paid by seller. Communicated with the seller agent to find answers to our questions regarding the apartment. Communicated with HOA on our behalf. Even after the sell was finalized she continues to help us with some issues we have regarding internet installation.read moreread less

zuser20170215161554121 12/22/2024Bought a Single Family home in 2024 in Hollyglen, Hawthorne, CA. I'm so glad we found Kim as our real estate agent! A coworker recommended her after having a great experience, and now I know why. We actually worked with Kim through two home searches, and she was amazing through both of them. Kim really knows her stuff when it comes to the South Bay. She came prepared with detailed info about different neighborhoods and helped us think through pros and cons we wouldn't have considered on our own. She was always on the lookout for homes that matched what we wanted and was super quick to respond whenever we had questions. One thing that really impressed me was how organized she is. She set us up with this great timeline app that made it easy to keep track of everything we needed to do. She also has connections with really reliable service providers - from home inspectors to contractors - which was super helpful. Kim is also great at working with other agents and handling negotiations. She's professional, thorough, and really looks out for her clients' interests. Even when our first home purchase fell through (due to a complicated insurance situation with the neighboring unit), she stuck with us and helped us find an even better home. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients make her stand out. If you're looking for a real estate agent in the South Bay, I highly recommend giving Kim a call!read moreread less
Lara N. 3/15/2022
Kim 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
arhsieh 6/18/2013Bought a Condo home in 2013 in Playa vista, Playa vista, CA. I had a great experience working with Kim on my home purchase.
During the home search process, Kim pulled out all the stops, making sure that I was aware of all the available homes and new listings that met my criteria. It helped a lot that Kim is very familiar with my area and also knows all the various real estate agents that work the area.
Once I picked the home I wanted, Kim had great advice for me on how to bid strategically. My home had several offers on it. I won the bid with Kim's great advice.
During the closing process Kim was very helpful in coordinating all the various steps that would have otherwise drove me insane. I didn't have to call all the different parties, escrow officers, loan officers, etc. when I had questions. I just called Kim and she got me answers back very quickly.read moreread less
Meghan V. 7/11/2016
It has been such a pleasure working with Kimberly Doner!
My husband and I were referred to her by a mutual friend because she had expertise in the South Bay Area - specifically Torrance, CA. Because she has local knowledge, she was able to show us homes in areas with great schools and amenities for parents of young children. Furthermore, she is very knowledgeable and professional in all dealings and was able to assist us - first-time home buyers - through the process of buying a house.
Kimberly's negotiation skills are excellent. She was able to negotiate on our behalf with the seller so that we received the best deal possible.
Lastly, her team at Keller Williams was incredible and patient with us throughout the process. Her associate, Alan Butler, was our right-hand man as well. In fact, he took the time to film a video of the house for us that we eventually bought prior to us seeing it for the first time.
I would highly recommend Kimberly for more than the above mentioned qualities! It has been a pleasure working with her and connecting with her!read moreread less
ArielAngelotti 4/02/2022Highly likely to recommend A co-worker referred me to Kim, since my partner and I were house shopping in LA - particularly in the South Bay. Even in this curaaaazy housing market, Kim connected us with a lender we liked and ushered us through the purchasing process. It took a few attempts to get an offer accepted, but we learned about the process through every step, and now we have a beautiful home in Redondo Beach we will cherish! Thank you so much, Kim!read moreread less
user64164701 5/05/2023Sold a Single Family home in 2023 in Northwest torrance, Torrance, CA. Kim Doner was incredible to work with. She is personable, passionate, thoughtful, caring and made the whole process of selling out home so easy. Kim is very knowledgeable about what it takes to sell a home. Her and her team worked so hard to get everything in place and it seemed like everything fell into place so quickly and smoothly. We received multiple offers above asking in a short time due to Kim’s hard work and dedication. She made herself available to us through the whole process. I highly recommend Kim and her team if you are looking to buy or sell a property.read moreread less
joannafee 10/15/2015Helped me rent a Single Family home in Rancho palos verdes, CA. Facing a major life decision of choosing to relocate from the East Coast to the West Coast, I was having little success in getting a real estate broker to contact me about the reality of finding a rental property that met our stringent criteria. After several failures, a friend recommended that I contact a local Keller Williams office in CA. I spoke with the head of the KW office, and he put me in contact with Kim Doner. That was the best move I could have ever made! Kim has been an invaluable resource over the past several months. Despite the distance and time zone differences, Kim was always available to me by phone or e-mail and very quick to respond to any of my needs, concerns or questions. Kim assisted me with the entire rental process from getting me set up to receive notifications of rentals as they came to market, to previewing properties and sending me virtual tours, whether by video or FaceTime. Kim was excellent in working with the landlord's broker and assisting us throughout the rental application and lease process. I am so grateful for Kim's assistance throughout our relocation process. Kim exudes professionalism and is wonderful to work with, and made this difficult personal transition as smooth as possible. It was a pleasure to work with Kim, and I look forward to a continued relationship as we look to eventually purchase a home in CA.read moreread less
Khuyen N. 5/23/2022We 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
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
sawebster76 9/09/2021Highly 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.read moreread less

She was there every step of the way always keeping in touch and giving me immediate responses to all of my questions and concerns. Her patience, diligence and hard work were impeccable. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client because she spends so much time with anything you need. Kim will help and advise you with negotiation skills and recommend great inspectors so you can find your dream home too! Thank you Kim!!!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
sheymann 6/13/2015Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2015 in Morrison ranch, Agoura hills, CA. I can't say enough about Kim Doner! From the first time we contacted her via the zillow link she responded within 3 minutes and has maintained that level of availability for the nearly 2 years we have worked with her!!! She has patiently worked with us to find the perfect home -- previewing homes for us and taking videos/photos for us when we couldn't get there in person. She was never impatient. Never put off by our volume of questions, emails, texts, or calls. Her professionalism and work ethic are without compare. She is an expert negotiator and advocate for her clients. She fought for us every step of the way, scheduled everything, followed up with us & kept us in the loop (so important for me). She guided us through the purchase of our new home and sale of our old one. To say we were probably one of her more high maintenance clients would be fair. And yet she NEVER showed any frustration or exhaustion with us. She gently suggested and reiterated her professional opinion, but ultimately let us make the final decisions. I would, WITHOUT HESITATION, recommend Kim Doner to ANY BUYER OR SELLER that is lucky enough to use her services. I respect her so much. Having worked with a handful of other agents over the years I can HONESTLY say she is one in a million. Don't think twice about Kim. Call her and work with her for one week. If you aren't convinced even after the first day I'll eat my hat!!read moreread less
