Most recently I bought a home in Manhattan Beach. I mainly live abroad now so my availibility to see and make an offer on the place was very limited. Kim was able to work quickly to not only schedule my viewing of the place, but also to get as much information as possible for me prior to making an offer. Kim has great relationships with all the local agents and was able to get me valuable information which made my offer compelling to the seller.
Once I had my offer accepted Kim was instrumental in helping me get through all the paperwork. This would have been super challenging for me since I was out of the country for most of it. Kim made it super easy for me. I'm really thankful for that.
Since I plan to rent out my newly purchased house Kim is now helping me get bids to fix up my place a bit prior to putting it out for lease.
I urge anybody to call Kim before buying or selling a home. She really goes way beyond the call of duty for her clients. read lessHighly likely to recommend As soon as my family decided to move out of Torrance, I mentioned it to Kim who we've known as our neighbor and our neighborhood real estate expert for quite some time.

She had our home sold almost instantly (without even going on the market!) for a substantial amount over the appraised value AND we set a new record for highest sale price for any original sized home in our tract. Kim made everything completely seamless, simple and clear for us throughout the process. I wouldn't trust anyone else with such an enormous decision and anyone looking to buy or sell in the South Bay needs to at least do themselves the favor of speaking with Kim for the job. Her attention to details and professionalism is second to none! read less

First and foremost, if you're looking for an agent (presumably that's why you're reading reviews) do your self a favor and contact Kim, you won't be sorry as she's as warm and responsive as can be.
It's a seller's market so we knew we could sell our townhome in Old Torrance no problem. What we didn't know until we met with Kim was the top dollar it was going to bring in with her expertise. Kim has a great pulse on the market but an even better eye for guiding clients on which upgrades you should make to maximize your return on investment (ROI). If she wasn't an agent I'm sure she'd make a great interior decorator. It was truly a pleasure working with Kim as she laid out all her ideas on where we should update the unit all the meanwhile being very conscience of making sure every dollar out of our pockets would come back exponentially in the sale price. Best of all, she took care of everything with her contractors start to finish and we didn't need to lift a finger.
Kim showed us the comps and where we should list our townhome at so it would be competitive and bring in the demand and boy was she right. Once we hit the market we received multiple offers over asking in less than a week and Kim was able to negotiate the best price for us to sell which was certainly well beyond what we thought it would go for and we truly believe it was because we took Kim's suggestions on the upgrades and staging. Her photographer did an amazing job with the pictures and virtual walkthrough as well.
Overall, we couldn't have found a better agent to work with in selling our townhome. Kim felt like more of a partner than agent in the deal to us, as she always made sure we were happy with everything at each step in the process and decisions were always made together while we ultimately made the final call. Best of all and i cannot stress this enough, Kim made us feel like we were her top priority the entire time even though we know she had multiple other clients she was also tending to and our home value was on the lower end of her transactions. The amount of time and effort she put in for us made us really feel special making what can be a stressful time quite a joy. We feel like we found an agent/partner/friend for life in Kim. We hope you give Kim a chance and are confident you will feel the same way. read less

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.

We interviewed several agents when starting our home buying process and Kim was, by far, our top choice. From day one, she was a great listener and really took the time to understand what our family wanted in a new home. We were looking for our house for over a year, yet Kim always kept close tabs on our needs and prospective properties and never pressured us into a house we weren't in love with. Eventually, we found our perfect house -- and Kim's professional contacts and expert negotiation tactics helped get our offer accepted over 14 other bids without stretching our budget. Once in escrow, she was organized and on top of the entire process -- her quick thinking also helped us overcome some unforeseen hurdles in the appraisal process and allowed us to close on time. Kim even set us up with multiple tried-and-true contractors and other home improvement vendors to help us make our new home our own. It's safe to say that without Kim Doner as our agent, we definitely wouldn't have gotten our dream home--and we couldn't be happier! read lessHighly likely to recommend As a first time home-buyer, I would highly recommend Kim to be your agent.
