Our experience in selling our California home with Kim Doner has been incredible. Being in the mortgage business and know a lot of agents, with so many agents to choose from we are beyond happy to have chosen Kim. She went above and beyond our expectations as a realtor. The suggestions she made from staging, updating, repairs and cleaning really made the difference in the sale of our home. We did not expect to get so many offers so quickly and well above asking price. We were out of the state and she handled all organizing and scheduling of our property. There would be no hesitation to use Kim again and reccomend her to all of our friends. She is a true professional and has extreme talent in real estate.

- LiaBathauer 8/14/2019Highly likely to recommend I don't even know where to start. 10 Years ago, my husband found Kim and was interested in selling our home in Torrance to get off a busy street. 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 moreread less - gabooyd4 11/26/2015Bought a Single Family home in 2015 in Torrance, CA. I was so blessed to have Kim by my side. 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

This is the second time we were clients of Kimberly for our house hunting needs. In 2014 she helped us buy a townhome and helped us through the entire process of being first time home owners. This time, after staying in close contact with us over the years, she led us through the process of being on the selling side and helped us achieve the best offer for our place. Simultaneously, she strategically led and negotiated a home buying process where we were on the winning end of our dream home which had 8 offers. She is a professional, knowledgeable, patient, and extremely resourceful. Kim has a great team of folks that surround and support her including her office, staging, inspection and home construction contacts. We've have been so happy with Kimberly and strongly recommend her.
read moreread less - sandra c. 4/03/2020Highly likely to recommend From the very moment we met Kim, we could tell she was the right match for us! She was always readily available for a showing, gave honest feedback, and was never ever pushy which we so appreciate in a real estate agent. She was truly a breath of fresh air!
When it came time to put an offer in on our property, Kim diligently walked us through the entire process and made sure we were 100% comfortable with all the terms. And as we moved into the negotiation process, we always felt like she had our best interest at heart.
During escrow, we had a super tight timeframe to do all of our inspections and not only did Kim line everything up for us, but when new issues arised, she worked around the clock to get us bids and made sure that we knew exactly what we were undertaking financially before we committed to the property.
We feel extremely lucky to have found Kim - she brought a wealth of knowledge and compassion to the home buying experience and we couldn't be more excited to have found our new home!read moreread less - Jack A. 7/10/2022Highly likely to recommend Kim helped us sell our house in Torrance and the experience working with her and her team was amazing! Kim really understands the area being local and was able to perfectly price our property so we got multiple offers and maximized our price! Kim and her team were always available and made this the easiest real estate transaction I have ever been through. I cannot recommend Kim enough!!read moreread less

Kim Doner embodies EVERYTHING that you'd ever need or want in a realestate agent. Kim sold our home in just two days for almost $100,000 over asking. From our first meeting to (hopefully not) the last, she's been prepared, available, and kind. She has an amazing team of painters, handymen, stagers, and cleaners. I highly recommend using ALL of her services. Best experience we've had without stress or worry. If you are looking for an agent, Kim Doner is the BEST‼

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 - user3922539 2/20/2013Bought a home in 2012 in CA 90266. I don't usually write reviews for anything, but Kim is an exceptional real estate agent, so for her I will make an exception! Kim is an extremely efficient and assertive person, which is highly desirable in an agent. We were looking for a house in an extremely tight market, and aside from the normal house hunting methods, she had innovative and effective strategies to help us find properties. She was also very good at previewing any house in which we expressed interest and then providing us with a comprehensive assessment of the house before we ever looked at it ourselves. I found that very helpful in allowing us to focus only on properties that were viable candidates rather than wasting our time with a bunch of random open houses. We had a challenging escrow that was occurring during the holidays, and throughout the whole thing, Kim was relentless in getting us as much information as possible, streamlining all the inspections and any other detail or task that was needed. She was available to us 24 hours a day 7 days a week during the holiday season, and she was instrumental in us ending up with our dream house. I would recommend her to anyone with no reservations. She always made us feel that we were in the best hands possible.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 - user79964950 2/28/2013Bought a home in 2011 in CA 91302. It was a pleasure working with Kim Doner and we are pretty satisfied with the house we bought. Kim has all the skills as a successful realty agent. We will certainly recommend Kim to our colleagues and friends when we are asked for reference.read moreread less
- KMFoldy 7/15/2016Bought a Single Family home in 2016 in Torrance, CA. I've sat here for over an hour trying to find the right adjectives to describe Kim, articulate our gratitude to her, and words are failing me. Our real estate story is like so many of yours and I'm sharing just a small portion of a much larger story. When we first started our search, we were all over the place and didn't have an agent. I mean, we're all clearly experts in the field of real estate because we watch hours of HGTV, right? We met Kim at a house she was selling and we immediately clicked with her. It was her professional demeanor, knowledge of the area and genuine interest in our family that convinced us she was the agent for us. With Kim's guidance and encouragement, she helped us identify exactly what we wanted and where we wanted to be. That's no easy task when you're trying to be budget conscious in the South Bay with a very specific list of needs and wants, but she rose to the occasion. We thought we found "the one" a few times over the last couple of months and every time the seller accepted another offer we felt worn down and defeated. Our failed offers had nothing to do with Kim and everything to do with the 5-10 offers we were up against..several of which were cash offers. Cash is king, right?. However, Kim was always right there to stop the pity party we were throwing for ourselves, said the right things to cure bruised egos and encouraged us to keep searching. In Kim's words, "the right one is out there and if it's meant to be it'll be". Had it not been for Kim cheering us on and lifting us up when we were tired of competing against cash offers, we wouldn't have found our perfect home. When our home popped up on the market, she was the first agent to see the house and established a genuine relationship with the sellers agent. This home had everything on our list. We wanted this house more than any other house we saw and Kim helped us come up with a new strategy on making a strong offer. She went above and beyond to hand deliver our offer, along with a note we wrote to the sellers, and stayed on standby until we heard the news that our offer was accepted. This was a lightning fast process that Kim handled like the seasoned pro she is and made sure that we knew she was always available to answer any questions we had. We will never work with another real estate agent as long as she is in the game. Kim is smart, savvy, has a pulse on the community, and has a rolodex of vendors that makes Angie's List look like amateur hour. Kim isn't just our real estate agent; she's a member of our family. Thank you, Kim for everything you did to help us get into our dream home.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.

Kim was, seriously, the best you could ever ask for. She got down to business immediately and met and exceeded all expectations. On top of that, she is just SUPER COOL, laid back - and her service is so personal - she gave me all kinds of advice on the area and celebrated my deal with CUPCAKES! i will use her for any real estate transaction whatsoever.
