What our Clients Think
Robin K. 7/25/2017
I can't express how strongly I recommend Kim Donor as a realtor. Long before she became my agent in the sale of my home she put together a beautiful portfolio of comps and other valuable information at no cost to me. Four years later I didn't think twice about who I would call to sell my home. Kim is a very smart, hard-working, savvy, and personable professional. Her goal is to make you happy. The process of selling a home can be daunting but Kim guided me through with her endless support and expertise. She makes herself available at the drop of a hat. Her resources are impeccable and no time was wasted as we stuck to a very tight schedule. Needless to say the house sold quickly with 20 offers and 20% over the asking price. Kim you did it!!!! You made me very happy! Thank you Kim! 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
sandiegomoto 1/17/2020Highly likely to recommend Kim helped me to sell my investment home in Torrance. 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 moreread less
snkchan 3/25/2023Bought a Single Family home in 2023 in Lakewood, CA. Kim is unquestionably one of the most knowledgeable, competent, responsive, and endearing real estate agents in the business. She was absolutely the best advocate and partner for my son (a first-time homebuyer) and me in helping us secure the purchase of his first choice (a property in Lakewood) after we had explored several listings in the South Bay area. Her professionalism was evident throughout every step of the process that she and her operations manager guided us through - from the acceptance of our initial offer (which Kim knew exactly how to price in a highly competitive market) to final closing. Kim’s experience and contacts were also critical in rapidly completing various inspections and identifying an outstanding team of contractors and home repair/improvement specialists. Kim was originally referred to us by our former neighbor (who is also in the real estate business). So we had the highest level of confidence in her stellar reputation from the onset. But the added joy of developing such a wonderful relationship with her created the best homebuying experience we could ever have imagined.read moreread less
frankgina23 12/06/2020Highly likely to recommend Kimberly is a highly-motivated, hard-working and dynamic realtor. Her education, training, and experience gives her great knowledge, skills and abilities in both buying and selling homes. She truly made our experience (selling our home and purchasing another one) seamless. Kimberley is always available and surrounds herself by a fantastic team. We felt her passion and love for real estate. In addition, she has a contact for everything home related-electrician, roofer, handyman, etc. We loved working with her and would highly recommend her for services.read moreread less
EmilyXie0 3/26/2025Bought a Single Family home in 2025 in Southwood, Torrance, CA. Working with Kim was an absolute pleasure! She's got a deep understanding of the local market and makes even the most complex transactions seem effortless. What truly sets her apart is her exceptional people skills. Kim is warm, approachable, and genuinely invested in her clients' success. Her dedication also doesn't stop at closing the deal as she continued to provide valuable support and referrals after the sale was complete. It truly helped us navigate the next steps in our home ownership journey! I would give more stars if I could! 10/5 stars!read moreread less
zuser20151107112338890 3/14/2018Highly likely to recommend Kimberly Doner and her energic and dedicated executive assistant Lauren Andrews make an incredible team. She worked with my wife and I on finding a suitable condo or townhouse at the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018. My wife and I selected her to work with after first meeting her when she was representing the seller of a property we had brief interest in… My wife researched out her online reputation and we met with her prior to getting serious in our hunt. She and Lauren worked with us on our schedule, followed our interest and were always there for us during our search. When we did get under contract with a difficult seller who was represented by a sloppy agent with minimal understanding of contract and real estate sales principles, it immediately became evident that we had made a brilliant choice in selecting Kim to work with, Kim worked diligently and went well above and beyond to make sure she smoothed out the rough stormy problems being presented by the seller and the seller’s agent. Kim stayed with use through all the little twists turns and tribulations that were unnecessarily thrown our way by a challenging seller and seller’s underwhelming agent. Kim also provided top drawer recommendations for helping us solve the glitches and made sure we ended our purchase with nothing but fond memories.
Superlatives to describe Kim that come to mind are “Excellent, Super, Super-excellent”; she is the real deal and operates with the highest level of ethics and professionalism.read moreread less
Jen V. 4/02/2020
If you are looking for a real estate agent that combines professionalism, expertise in her field, and is easy to work with, look no further than Kim Doner. Kim is an excellent agent and we would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
We interviewed several agents when starting our home buying process and Kim was, by far, our top choice. From day one, she was a great listener and really took the time to understand what our family wanted in a new home. We were looking for our house for over a year, yet Kim always kept close tabs on our needs and prospective properties and never pressured us into a house we weren't in love with. Eventually, we found our perfect house -- and Kim's professional contacts and expert negotiation tactics helped get our offer accepted over 14 other bids without stretching our budget. Once in escrow, she was organized and on top of the entire process -- her quick thinking also helped us overcome some unforeseen hurdles in the appraisal process and allowed us to close on time. Kim even set us up with multiple tried-and-true contractors and other home improvement vendors to help us make our new home our own. It's safe to say that without Kim Doner as our agent, we definitely wouldn't have gotten our dream home--and we couldn't be happier!read moreread less
Amie D. 2/20/2021
We first spoke with Kim a few years ago and she was very professional and helpful. When we started our search for a new home, we thought of Kim and reached out to her once again. If we could dream up an ideal realtor who checks off all the boxes for us, she is the one!
1. She is so knowledgeable about the market. We felt so confident knowing that we had Kim on our team and we felt like we would definitely get our dream home.
2. She is very responsive. My husband and I both appreciate professionalism and she is top notch. She not only responds quickly but will go above and beyond with more information. Responding to texts or writing an offer and hashing out details can be time sensitive and the difference between getting the house or not- and Kim is an expert! She might be working 24 hours a day, or has a clone- because how could anyone be this amazing??
She also helped us rent our first home. She helped us with the process and offered valuable advice all along the way!
Lauren was also wonderful and such a great resource! Searching for a home goes beyond just the search. It felt like the search is the start and writing an offer and going through escrow is level 2. We are so lucky we got to work with Kim and got our dream home! We couldn't be happier and still can't believe how painless the whole process was during such a competitive market. Thank you so much Kim and Lauren! You are simply the best!read moreread less

We are extremely happy using Kim Doner as our agent to sell our home. We decided to interview 3 other agents, she was our last interview and we almost canceled thinking we had made a choice on one of the others. Give yourself the chance and interview her. Just like the other reviews, she was prepared for our interview with stats, knowledge on our community and and explained her plan on marketing our home. She was good at explaining any questions we had and was frank about what the home needed to be sell ready.
We had been DIY fixing our home for the last 2 years. Then we had decided to retire and move out of state. So she had a team to help support the finishing work that needed to done in a timeline that worked for us. She has a picked a strong team that we used to help groom the home that made it market ready. I loved that home before and loved it even more after she was done with it (within our budget). Which sold just over 8% of listing.
It was also a good experience working with her team during the sale since we where out of state. She was always a pleasure to talk with and kept us informed though all the steps from start to finish.
We are now in Missouri looking for our retirement home and I WISH we could have found someone like Kim help us with that. But they are not Kim,read moreread less
ryandornbusch 11/20/2019Highly likely to recommend Our family just undertook a daunting challenge to buy and sell a home in a very short period of time. With three small children and long hours at work, we desperately needed a strong realtor to guide and support us thru the process. Kim far exceeded the realm of expectations, providing trusting insight that allowed us to secure our new house against 8 other bidders and an offer above our set target for the old home. She also provided a network of expert vendors and emotional support for stressful process. It turned out to be a dream sequence for our family and we're forever in debt to Kim because of it.read moreread less
mbeck23 1/27/2018Highly likely to recommend Recently, I Kim helped me purchase my first house and I cannot be more happy with her help. Everyone described the process of a first time home buy as tough and frustrating, but I experienced none of that.
Kim helped me from start to finish...teaching me about the process, helping me find my house, find the appropriate price, conduct and understand inspections/repairs, and even the post-sale things. She was knowledgable, punctual, efficient, and understanding.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone, no matter their experience in home purchasing or what they are looking for. She is truly an expertread 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
zuser20170610213620456 2/08/2018Highly likely to recommend My previous experience with real estate was a very poor advised purchase over 8 years ago that ended in a short sale. Having said that I have been very wary of the whole industry.
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 moreread less
