Your Home Is Our Priority

We recently purchased a property in South Redondo, but live out of state. From the first interaction with Kim, we knew we were in great hands. Kim quickly engaged in our pursuit of a second home and did not stop until we were completely satisfied. Kim is very knowledgeable and approaches the relationship as a true partnership. She understands the goals of the client and executes--whether through active listening or connecting us with professionals in other areas that could assist in the process. Kim continues to be a resource for improvements to the home. I highly recommend using Kim if you have an interest in purchasing in the South Bay area. She is a true professional!

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.

Bought a Single Family home in 2015 in Redondo beach, CA. My husband & I worked with Kim while searching for our first home. As first time homebuyers and also new to the area, there was a lot to learn. Kim walked us through the entire process and provided all of the tools to be knowledgeable consumers. She gently guided us when we needed direction and was always there to answer all of our questions. We made a few offers which came down to stressful negotiations and she always kept her cool and offered sound advice. I strongly felt she had our best interests at heart throughout our (long) house hunt. I'm happy to say we have closed on our home which we will move in to this month and I am so grateful to Kim. I would highly recommend her again and again!

We’ve worked with several brokers/agents over the years buying and selling property. Kim truly stands out. She is extremely well prepared, knows the market, and is the most engaged and pro active agent we’ve ever dealt with. Her recommendations were spot on and her anticipation of offers was 100% accurate. Much to our pleasure! Highly recommend hiring her.

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.

Kim was fabulous! She was knowledgable on every aspect of selling our home. She kept me informed on every detail. She always answered my questions quickly and professionally. She was helpful in supplying sources for staging, photos, moving, and all the other resources one might need. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Everyone should be as lucky as I was to find such a competent and professional realtor.

Sold a Multiple Occupancy home in 2015 in Northwest torrance, Torrance, CA. Words cannot describe our experience with Kim. From the moment of first contact she was always there; beginning to end. She truly cared about our feelings, circumstances and expectations. Never in a million years would we have thought she'd sell our property within days of listing. It was the most amazing and unexpected result. So smooth and quick. If you are looking for a GREAT agent we HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. She is truly a fabulous, kind, warm person who displays incredible professionalism. You will not be disappointed

We 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!

Highly likely to recommend Kim gave us a great first-time home buying experience in 2012 and she delivered once again when we purchased our second home this month. She helped us buy in our desired neighborhood where listings are scarce and homes are snatched up within days they hit the market. In this competitive environment, Kim was also able to get us our purchase price under asking! We definitely recommend Kim to anyone looking for a trustworthy realtor who looks out for your best interests.

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!!

Sold 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.

My husband and I used Kim Doner and her team to find a property in the South Bay. Kim is everything you want in a real estate agent - smart, professional and super communicative. She is the person you want in your corner. She fights hard for her clients and always has their best interest at heart. Kim has excellent negotiating skills in a competitive market. Once we were in escrow, Kim made sure we were taken care of - setting up all the necessary inspections, it felt like we did not have to lift a finger. She is extremely organized and detailed oriented. Kim makes you feel like she is your only client. You can tell she has a passion for real estate and finding her clients the perfect home. We are grateful that she was our real estate agent and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the South Bay.

Bought 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!

Highly 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.

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.
