First of all congratulations on your future home! From our experience, we know that Kimberly Doner is an amazing realtor that will be the best choice for you. Before we picked Kim as our realtor, we talked to two other realtors that we’re also popular picks in the area. However, after assessing, we knew without a doubt that Kim was the most knowledgeable and qualified out of all our picks. And even though she knew we were still deciding on which realtor to pick when we first talked to her, she still gave us her time, knowledge and went above and beyond what we expected. She is patient, informative, and logical and the list goes on. She has a great team that is always readily prepared with any information or sources. Everyone is very pleasant and it was such a great experience working with her. She always responded so quickly, always took her time over the phone to explain things to us and always texted back instantly. We don’t know how she does it. She will get the job done and she will do so having you as her priority. She has a connection for anything so you don’t ever have to worry about finding a trustworthy person that will do the job right. We will definitely, without a doubt, recommend her to whoever we know that wants to buy or sell a home. We could not have found a better home, Oliver has so much fun running around our giant backyard! Thank you Kim Doner for helping us attain our amazing home.

I was referred to Kimberly about 6 years ago to help me find a rental in Redondo Beach. Kimberly went out of her way to show me the property that would only be a rental.

A few years later she helped me purchase a condo in Torrance. She made the process seamless and efficient. 3 years later we needed to sell this condo, and Kimberly again stepped up to help us. I was at a point in time where I did not have much time to spare, and she basically said to trust her and she would make it very easy for me.
And that she did. She was patient and polite when I did not always respond in the timely manner. She made the process very simple for me and I put all my trust in her experience. With her professionalism and knowledge, I knew this would be a very manageable sale. We had multiple offers within a few days of putting the condo on the market and ultimately closed in 30 days way over the asking price. She is extremely organized, patient and always available for questions and clarification.

In the right hands I have regained my faith in the real estate market. I will be using Kimberly soon to help me purchase a home for me and my family. I highly recommend Kimberly in any real estate transactions you may need. 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

Kim was extremely knowledgeable about the improvements we needed to make in order to get the greatest return on our investment. She coordinated everything with the repair crew and also recommended a wonderful staging company. Kim and her associates were professional, quick to respond, and made the whole experience as stress-free as possible. In the end, the property looked amazing! We received multiple offers and it sold quickly for more than the asking price. We are extremely happy with Kim's services and will definitely use her for any future real estate transactions. read less

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 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

Kim, Tom, and all of her team played a crucial role in buying our first home, which was especially important in today’s competitive market. She was very knowledgeable and responsive during the entire process! Kim talked about real estate in a way that a regular person could easily understand, answered all of our questions, and always made time for us. Kim’s advice about writing a “love letter” to the seller was the key for getting the house we wanted. Even after we bought the house, Kim has continued to provide us with support; she has recommended both a general contractor for renovations and a cleaner and both of them have been amazing! We can never thank her enough. We are also thankful for another realtor, Tom, who is on her team. He spent so many weekends with us to make sure we found the perfect home for us. We strongly recommend Kim and her team! read less

We had the pleasure of working with her on two transactions - selling our old house and buying a new home. With her great marketing skills, we virtually had offers on our house before it even went on the market. Kim represented us well, effectively communicating with other agents and all the other vendors (i.e. escrow, mortgage company) involved. She was always available (24/7) to answer questions or explore concerns. Kim kept us on track and made sure the process ran smoothly as possible. Not one to "settle", Kim patiently stood by us as we looked at house after house for our new home. Her persistence and excellent negotiating skills gave us the edge on the winning offer. Kim goes above and beyond even after the sale is complete. She stays involved with the fine tunings of selling or buying a home, from repairs to home renovation. Kim is the consummate professional, yet caring and generous friend. read less

Highly likely to recommend I lived out of the area where my property was sold. She knew the real estate market, was right on with value, and had the contractors/handymen to make the improvements to the property which greatly increased the value. None better!!!

Kim was a pleasure to work with. She was sensitive to our concerns as first time buyers in the Uber competitive California market and ultimately helped us get the home we wanted!

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.

Highly personable, extremely knowledgeable on the South Bay, and a great process guide, Kim made the purchase process extremely smooth and enjoyable for us.

Kim started by asking what WE wanted in our first home (honestly, this is more rare than you think - most agents tell you what you should want without listening to you) and armed with that information, she guided us on the best locations in the South Bay to begin our search. But Kim's real value kicks in after your offer is accepted. Her deep knowledge for the home buying process and her responsiveness to our questions put us completely at ease throughout 'escrow'. In addition, Kim's network of inspectors, handymen, and contractors helped us take care of all the necessary work needed on our new home before we moved in. And to top it off, after we closed, Kim and her assistant Lauren offered to help manage the work being done on the home (even offering to go to the home to let workers in!).

Overall, great experience and highly recommend Kim to anyone looking in the South Bay. read less

Initially we were just keeping tabs on what's going on in the market. After we were married in 2016 we became much more serious in finding a home and raising a family. Kim always checked in to see how we were doing. She would advise us on things to consider when starting a family, advantages/disadvantages of different homes and share her honest feedback on places we were interested in. Her priority seemed to be making sure we would be happy in the long run.

We bought a house with Kim's recommendation this year. Kim was always available, helped us every step of the way during the process and made it as painless as possible. She was constantly in contact with us and followed up to see how we were doing. She treated us more like a good friend than just an agent/client relationship. She gave us great recommendations on different resources we can work with during and after closing of escrow which has been extremely helpful. She is still reaching out and in contact with us even after close of the sale and making sure we are doing ok and happy.

We have seen multiple properties which she was representing the seller. They would have an excellent presentation and attract a ton of potential buyers. Also, Kim's knowledge of the South Bay market is unrivaled.

We have always been treated with respect and kindness by Kim and her assistant Lauren. We would not hesitate to work with them again for any future house endeavors. read less

Over the years we have worked with a number of real estate brokers when looking for and buying homes in the Los Angeles area, and without a doubt Kim is one of the very best we have ever worked with. Not only was she a delight to interact with, but every meeting we had or task she performed was flawless in its professionalism. Our hunt for a second home located in the South Bay lasted almost two years. Throughout our lengthy search, Kim was patient and always attentive to our questions and needs. She worked like a true professional advisor should: listen to our list of preferences (which changed over time), work around our busy schedules whenever possible, keep us informed, and explain everything as needed along the way. On top of that she was intuitive about the level of information and interaction we needed - always the right balance of staying connected without ever being pushy. When we finally decided on the home we wanted, she made sure that everything was done quickly and all bases were covered. She gave us sage advice on how to present our offer in the best possible manner in a competitive market. We ended up getting the home we wanted! She was also helpful in providing specialists and resources along the way and after our purchase - which is very convenient when you are new in an area.
In sum, Kim is a fantastic agent. If you are looking for a home in the South Bay and want a broker who is authentic, easy to work with, and excellent at her job, Kim is your agent. read less
