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 less

Kim is a true professional; not only does she know the real estate market inside and out, she is exceptionally well-versed in every aspect of the transaction. Kim made quick market research to come up a strategic market plan with an appropriate list price while also connecting me with an amazing staging company to prepare my property for sale. She was always quick to respond and one step ahead of everyone else involved. As the result, I could accept an amazing offer (buy as it is with $25K higher listing price) among 5 multiple offers less than 10 days. Kim completed to close the escrow 27 days. I recommend her professional work strongly. read less

She worked with my wife and I on finding a suitable condo or townhouse at the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018. My wife and I selected her to work with after first meeting her when she was representing the seller of a property we had brief interest in… My wife researched out her online reputation and we met with her prior to getting serious in our hunt. She and Lauren worked with us on our schedule, followed our interest and were always there for us during our search. When we did get under contract with a difficult seller who was represented by a sloppy agent with minimal understanding of contract and real estate sales principles, it immediately became evident that we had made a brilliant choice in selecting Kim to work with, Kim worked diligently and went well above and beyond to make sure she smoothed out the rough stormy problems being presented by the seller and the seller’s agent. Kim stayed with use through all the little twists turns and tribulations that were unnecessarily thrown our way by a challenging seller and seller’s underwhelming agent. Kim also provided top drawer recommendations for helping us solve the glitches and made sure we ended our purchase with nothing but fond memories.

Superlatives to describe Kim that come to mind are “Excellent, Super, Super-excellent”; she is the real deal and operates with the highest level of ethics and professionalism. read lessHighly likely to recommend Kim was my Realtor when I sold my home in Manhattan Beach.

We knew it was going to be a stressful time especially when it came to one of the biggest purchases in one's life. We wanted someone trustworthy, experienced, available, and who had our best internet in mind. In all sincerity, Kim Doner exceeded our expectations.
Having experienced talking and meeting with a handful of real estate agents; we were blessed to have Kim Doner as ours. She is hard working, honest, authentic, and sincerely cared about our family of five. Through the house searching process, she put our hearts and minds at ease. It was a great experience working with her and we felt totally taken care of. Our family could not recommend anyone else as an agent. She will be our number one realtor for our future homes and our number one referral to our friends and family. read less

However, due to LA's extremely competitive housing market, I never quite felt comfortable or prepared for the work to come. Everyone also loves their agent and after some careful research, it was clear why a recommendation for Kim stood out. I agreed to a meet and greet, and immediately felt more prepared and at ease with the idea of her helping us find a home.

Kim is not only experienced when it comes to the process of buying a home, but she's also very much in the know when it comes to talking to competitive and reliable lenders, contractors, inspectors, you name it. She has lists and lists and lists of people that she swears by, and to this day I'm still using some of her awesome referrals and would probably be out of pocket on some serious cash had I not taken her advice.
At the end of the day, you want an agent who works as hard, or harder than you do to stay on top of things. Kim and Lauren (her incredibly awesome executive assistant) were effectively available around the clock to talk or answer dumb questions on almost any subject. Both my partner and I had crazy complicated hours due to our jobs, but we were still able to keep up with Kim & Lauren and turnaround offers and documents on a very convenient schedule. There's a reason why almost every agent we met at an open house knew of Kim, and there truly is a reason why Kim is so highly rated and respected on sites like these - she performs and leaves her clients very, very happy. read lessHighly likely to recommend To whom it may concern,

If you are looking for a real estate agent Kimberly Doner is your lady for you. She sold our house in 1 day getting more than what we asked. She is extremely professional, personable, and detailed oriented. She staged our home to sell using a dynamic team consisting of not just her but a professional stager and photographer as well. Her sales results speak for herself. You won't be disappointed.
Sincerely

She informed us of everything during the entire selling and buying process. Kim sold our home above asking with multiple offers in just a few days. She also found us the perfect home in Torrance and we couldn't be happier. Her ultimate goal was to make the home buying and selling experience effortless with her endless knowledge. Kim achieved her goal and exceeded all of our expectations! We will never forget the experience.

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 less

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 less

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 less

She not only knew the neighborhood like the back of her hand, but she did extensive research on the properties and was able to give us top tier advice on everything we looked at.
Once we found our dream home she helped close the sale professionally and quickly, allowing calls to answer any questions we had at any time, day or night. Her extensive knowledge on vendors to use for property inspections, handy-men, painters, cleaners, etc. etc. etc. was SO helpful. It was amazing to have a real estate agent that really cared about the process from beginning to end. We are so grateful and happy that we used Kimberly and recommend her to the fullest extent! We cannot say enough great things about this great agent!! read less

She showed him countless other homes and he decided not to sell at that time. Kim had continued to show us homes throughout the last 10 years and never once pushed us.
Earlier this year, my husband and I found a home we thought we loved and decided to let the listing agent of that house be our buyers agent so we could get an additional discount. I let Kim know and she showed such class. She let us know she was still here for us still with anything we needed. We knew inside the house we were going to buy wasn't right for us so we backed out and called Kim. She harbored no ill-will and GOT TO WORK.
About 2 months ago, Kim found a house that checked all of our boxes for what our family needed. She quickly got our old house ready to sell and handled all the vendors and scheduling HERSELF. This took the burden off my husband and I and this was just what we needed.
All in all, Kim got us NINE OFFERS over asking. NINE. It closed 7 days after the house that we purchased. Kim's timeline for not having us pay two mortgages and getting us out of our old house couldn't have turned out better. She had a plan and NAILED it.
Oh, and her assistant Lauren? She can be as professional as needed, show up at any time needed for vendors, give great recommendations and even play hide and seek with my toddlers when they start to loose their mind with all this Real Estate stuff. She, too, wears many hats.
We will forever live in our dream house... thanks to Kim Doner! read less
