What our Clients Think
vongocnhi 10/26/2021Highly likely to recommend Kimberly is not only a skillful real estate agent but also a sweet and thoughtful person. Throughout the sale of our home, she offered the most responsive, helpful and productive service. She and her team made our home become the record sale in its neighborhood with multiple offers within couple days and ended up with above asking price. I can't thank you enough for her hard-working and positive spirit. If I ever need a real estate agent again, I will always go for Kimberly.read moreread less
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
jennifer r. 7/25/2017Bought a Single Family home in 2017 in Northeast torrance, Torrance, CA. We had someone recommend Kim to us and we couldn’t be more grateful for it. She was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly to work with. Kim always kept us informed and used her expertise to give us the best service. She always went above and beyond - nights and weekends. She even provided us with names and resources to help out once we had our new home. If you are buying or selling a house, look no further than Kim Doner.read moreread less
JUNGBOM P. 11/01/2023I recently had the pleasure of working with Kimberley to purchase my new home, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of professionalism and expertise they brought to the table. From the very beginning of our home search to the closing day, Kim demonstrated a deep understanding of the real estate market and a commitment to providing exceptional service.
Kim was not only knowledgeable about the local housing market but also attentive to my specific needs and preferences. They patiently guided me through the entire process, ensuring I was well-informed and comfortable every step of the way. I appreciated their excellent communication skills, as they promptly addressed any questions or concerns I had.
What stood out the most was Kim's dedication to finding the right home for me, rather than just making a quick sale. They listened to my requirements and worked diligently to find properties that met my criteria, saving me time and effort in the process.
The entire home-buying journey was made smoother and more enjoyable thanks to Kim's professionalism, expertise, and genuine commitment to my satisfaction. I am now happily settled into my new home, and I have Kim to thank for making it a reality.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly to anyone in need of a top-notch realtor who puts their clients first. Thank you for your exceptional service!read moreread less
NedandMolly 1/18/2025Bought a Single Family home in 2024 in Sunkist park, Culver city, CA. Kim was recommended by my brother, a real estate broker in San Diego. She was a delight to work with, easing the purchase of a tax deferred exchange. She is organized, responsive and knowledgeable. When a snag in the purchase arouse, she creatively negotiated a solution with the seller. Inspections of the property went seamlessly using resources she had. Additionally, she has a decorators sense with suggestions for renovations and the crew to get things done.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
ringista 4/19/2020Highly likely to recommend Kim Doner is an absolute rockstar agent! She came highly recommended to us by our banker, and after meeting with a few other agents she definitely stood out. From start to finish, her tenacity, knowledge, and dedication got us $75,000 over asking! Kim was always one step ahead, using her expertise to guide us in making good decisions. Selling and buying a home can be very overwhelming, but Kim made the process stress-free and seamless. She is extremely reliable, and responsive-answering texts and emails day and night. We really appreciated how approachable and patience Kim was, no question was to big or to small. She was always willing to explain things in detail and go over contracts line by line if needed. She is super organized, and detail originated. She also has amazing resources whom we used to help elevate our home, we never had to source vendors or handy man. Kim will be our forever agent, if in the future we ever needed one again. We highly recommend Kim! Also, Lauren, her assistant is just as hardworking and a pleasure to work with.read moreread less
Darryl K. 6/30/2022Kim was everything you could ask for in a realtor. She was very knowledgeable and responsive for our entire transaction. She utilized social media as well as traditional advertising to try and maximize exposure of our home. Since we were out of state while selling the home, she made all document signings smooth by the use of DocuSign. Additionally, since she lives in the neighborhood, she was able to assess our home against all comps, identifying our strengths and weaknesses of our property. We would definitely recommend her to any friends who are selling or buying.read moreread less
2014happyowner 12/03/2014Bought a Townhouse home in 2014 in Redondo beach, CA. Kim was very helpful, patient and responsive. She was excellent in communicating technical questions we had about the home-buying and inspection process by contacting (and allowing us to communicate with) vendors or other third parties, as needed. She offered her advice appropriately, while still giving us the freedom to feel like we could make our own decisions with her knowledgeable experience. She made us feel like we were her only clients, even though she was actively working with others.
Kim made the buying process professional, yet we felt very comfortable in voicing our concerns. She was good at keeping things in perspective, remaining even-keeled and reasonably confident we could work through some of the challenges we faced in buying our home.read moreread less
Chris S. 10/19/2021I've worked with Kim through 3 transactions over 15 years and there's a reason she continues to earn my business. Unlike many real estate agents who seem like their primary concern is closing A deal, Kim's concern is always making sure it's the RIGHT deal for her clients. She found a way to get my family our dream home despite myriad issues and complications along the way by using not just her knowledge of the market and the industry but by employing some very creative thinking. She's easy to work with and maintains her kind personality while being professional. I tell all my friends to us her.read moreread less
Nancy G. 1/19/2022We interviewed just over half a dozen realtors before selecting Kim Doner to represent us when selling our family home. While putting the list together for potential agents, we were first drawn to Kim by her strong sales stats and presence in the market specific to our neighborhood and community. We also noted the number of positive reviews, and the pattern of client experience we were seeing from one review to the next - the value placed not only on knowledge and expertise, but also on that level of personal connection to the client. Kim was a real standout from day one at the initial interview, and I can absolutely attest that she has lived up to every one of those 5 star reviews! She could not have made the process of updating and selling our home easier or more stress free for my sister and I. Kim has the patience of an angel. Her super power is in her ability to make you feel like her only task in life is to be there for you! Kim was always available to answer our questions, always present to the task, always paying close attention to the details. Her expertise and knowledge, her abundance of energy and confidence, and OUR absolute confidence in her, all went a long way in making the entire process as easy and pain free as can be expected when selling or buying a home. We did quite a bit of updating to our home before listing it, to which Kim’s guidance was invaluable. Through her expertise and knowledge of current trends in the buyers market, Kim offered solid ideas for maximizing our selling price, while mindfully helping us keep within our budget. She has a great team of helpers that offer everything from inspection to staging - termite treatment and repairs, landscaping, painting, floor refinishing - you name it, Kim has connections for the job! I loved that she made a field trip out of going to the nursery with us and the landscaper to pick out just the right flowers for the yards. She really jumps in with both feet, which was both welcomed and appreciated, given neither my sister nor I possess the eye or knack for color or "aesthetic flow", which Kim seems to come by so naturally! When listing day arrived, we were dazzled by the head to toe stunning transformation of the home “with good bones”, but starving for some TLC. Kim and her peeps - with a very special shoutout to Jodi and her team for the beautiful staging - took us to escrow after just days on the market! When all was said and done, I actually missed my daily updates from Kim - our experience was THAT pleasant! Kim has it all - she is market smart, possesses all the knowledge, energy, resources, and PASSION - she will get the job done and make you feel pretty darn special along the way!read moreread less
Jessica P. 7/01/2022This 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
Melissa M. 7/18/2022Kim was AMAZING. As first time home buyers, Kim took the time to explain every step of the home buying process from start to finish. When searching for a house, Kim and her equally amazing assistant, Lauren, were proactive and incredibly responsive. They listened to critiques of houses we viewed to help us zero in on exactly what we were looking for. The house we ended up buying received EIGHT offers. She walked us through our offer, helped us with pricing and ultimately closed the deal. But her service doesn't end there. Kim has amazing vendor contacts to ensure all quotes and services were done timely for a smooth close. Finally, on top of being a great agent, she is lovely to work with. We could not be more grateful for the amount of care and attention she and Lauren provided during this special time in our lives.read moreread less
Emi I. 3/13/2024We worked with Kim to buy our forever family home in Torrance. As a Torrance local herself, she is extremely knowledgeable and helped us to narrow down the areas we were looking to purchase in.
When she found the perfect property for us, she reached out to us immediately! She educated and guided us through the entire process, making this usually stressful and nerve-wracking time as easy as possible! Kim is very personable, hard-working, thoughtful and was a joy to work with. She was very well organized and timely to meet our accelerated time line. We could not have gotten everything done so smoothly without her.
In addition, Kim has a fantastic network of resources from contractors, custom furniture to pool guys! She seems to have a contact for everything!
Kim went above and beyond for us and we would highly recommend her to anyone. We are very grateful to have been able to work with her and would definitely work with her again in the future if given the chance.read moreread less
Aviv B. 8/27/2024After interviewing several realtors we decided to move forward with Kim Doner and boy are we glad we did! Kim is incredible and helped us navigate every step of the way. She made a difficult and complicated process very easy for us and we are so grateful for all of her help. We highly recommend working with Kim she is fantastic!read moreread less
