What our Clients Think
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

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

She truly makes you feel like you are her only client because she spends so much time with anything you need.

Jack A. 7/10/2022Kim 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
trudybasgall2 11/01/2020Highly likely to recommend Upon looking to start a new chapter in my life, I had the task of finding someone to help with the process of selling my current home. With all of the overwhelming thoughts that come with this process, I started by looking at others reviews of realtors in the area. Before long I had made the decision of using Kim Doner. During this process, I moved 5 states away. With all the stress and anxirty that comes with moving, I was worried about leaving my house in the hands of someone I barely knew but in a short time what I found was I left my house in the hands of someone that did more than I could ever have imagined. Not only was Kim professional, courteous and knowledgable but her communication and care that she provided was comforting and eased my worries and anxiety about how this would get done with me not being there. My home was in need of some minor repairs and updates before putting it on the market. Kim and her dedicated team of personnel and contractors completed these ahead of time and under budget. When the home was listed, and offers were made, Kim laid them out for me and explained the pros and cons of each one. At no time did I feel pressured by one offer or another due to Kim's organization and detailed work. Her attention to detail and communication from states away made the home selling process feel like a family member was taking care of this for me. If you want someone you can trust, I can guarantee Kim Doner and her team should be your first choice.read moreread less
awilliams i. 7/27/2015Helped me rent a Single Family home in South orange, NJ. I am moving from New York City and Kim was a huge help. Not only did she spend time getting me acquainted with the area , she listened to my preferences and showed me only relevant apartments. She was very responsive and followed up to make sure I was satisfied. I would highly recommend her.read moreread less
hanksum 12/03/2020Highly likely to recommend Wow, so many positive things to say about Kim not sure where to start. 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 moreread less
Bob R. 6/15/2023Kim has helped us sell/buy three houses and in each instance she has provided excellent representation. She is smart, hard-working, and attentive to all the details. She is a savvy marketer who has her finger on the pulse of the market and knows how to position your house for maximum value. She does an amazing job helping you make your house look the best it possibly can. If you are looking for a home to buy, she has a vast network of listings and will help you find the place that is right for you. She is a firm, but fair negotiator and will make sure no one is taking advantage of you and you get a fair deal. I cannot recommend her more highly. If you choose to enlist her services, you will not be disappointed!read moreread less
pdreed67 6/30/2017Sold a Condo home in 2017 in Olde torrance, Torrance, CA. Kim is the best! She went from our realtor to friend in one month. She is extremely competent while being kind, thoughtful, helpful, calm and always available. We have moved five times, so we knew the process, but she exceeded anything we had experienced before. She asked us to trust her, and we did. As a result, we had eight offers in one week, and sold above market value. When we couldn't find a home to buy, she helped us find a good rental. When I dropped an earring down the drain the day before the home inspection, she had someone there in a couple of hours to take care of it. She keeps things moving and takes the stress away from you. We will definitely use her when we move again.read moreread less
ksf33 8/10/2015Showed home in 2013 in CA 90278. Kim is excellent at her job. She is very knowledgeable and extremely thorough. She made detailed charts of comps and provided full details of all homes we toured together. I trust her expertise and highly recommend her to help with buying and selling a home.read moreread less
Chris T. 5/09/2023We worked with Kim on selling our newly remodeled townhome and purchasing our dream home in Rolling Hills Estates. After not having the most favorable of experiences with previous agents, Kim was a welcomed change. Kim came highly recommended by a trusted person in the industry who we had worked with several times in the past.
Kim is professional, honest, and detail oriented. Kim has excellent negotiation skills, and her work ethic is second to none.
Kim’s calm and data-driven approach to real state helped put us at ease in stressful and emotional situations that occasionally arose during the buying and selling process.
Kim also has a fantastic team around her that can help with anything a new homeowner might need. From handymen to chicken coops to pool guys, Kim has a contact she can pull up in minutes.
Kim is a highly talented agent – we are grateful to have found her and will be using her again in the future.read moreread less

darrin23 3/21/2017Bought a home in 2017 in CA 90502. Kim was and absolute pleasure to work with. Without her I would not have gotten the house of my dreams. Her knowledge of the local real estate market was very helpful in closing my deal. I can't recommend her enough. Her 8 years of experience really showed. She was a 10 out of 10 on a scale from the start to finish. You will not be disappointed if you use her to buy or sell your house. Best, Darrinread moreread less
Jesyka L. 4/22/2018
I was referred to Kim by a friend that I trust completely, and I am so appreciative to have found her. Something that is unique about Kim is when you work with her, it becomes clear that she is doing what she is meant to do. It shows not only in her professionalism, but also in her passion to take care of you - even when it's outside of what she needs to be doing. She is genuine and thoughtful. And also strong and persuasive. What a unique combination! I highly recommend her and plan to recommend her to friends in the future. read moreread less
