What our Clients Think
Meg E. 10/16/2024We couldn’t recommend Kim highly enough! My husband and I were nervous about purchasing our first home but Kim expertly helped us through the whole process. She was organized and extremely responsive the entire time, somehow making us feel like we were her only clients despite how busy she must be. We were in amazing hands with Kim and ultimately ended up with our top choice house!read moreread less
monica a. 2/08/2018Highly likely to recommend We had such an EXCELLENT experience working with Kimberely Doner! We are first time buyer so had lots of questions throughout the process, and felt that she was able to thoroughly help us understand everything in detail. She made herself available every time we called, texted or emailed, which made us feel very relieved. She made the process of buying our new home very smooth and easy! I would recommend Kimberely to any person buying a new home!read moreread less
sheymann 6/13/2015Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2015 in Morrison ranch, Agoura hills, CA. I can't say enough about Kim Doner! From the first time we contacted her via the zillow link she responded within 3 minutes and has maintained that level of availability for the nearly 2 years we have worked with her!!! She has patiently worked with us to find the perfect home -- previewing homes for us and taking videos/photos for us when we couldn't get there in person. She was never impatient. Never put off by our volume of questions, emails, texts, or calls. Her professionalism and work ethic are without compare. She is an expert negotiator and advocate for her clients. She fought for us every step of the way, scheduled everything, followed up with us & kept us in the loop (so important for me). She guided us through the purchase of our new home and sale of our old one. To say we were probably one of her more high maintenance clients would be fair. And yet she NEVER showed any frustration or exhaustion with us. She gently suggested and reiterated her professional opinion, but ultimately let us make the final decisions. I would, WITHOUT HESITATION, recommend Kim Doner to ANY BUYER OR SELLER that is lucky enough to use her services. I respect her so much. Having worked with a handful of other agents over the years I can HONESTLY say she is one in a million. Don't think twice about Kim. Call her and work with her for one week. If you aren't convinced even after the first day I'll eat my hat!!read moreread less
zuser20150827170123658 7/22/2018Bought a Single Family home in 2018 in Hawthorne, CA. Kim 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
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
bujordoina 12/05/2014Bought a Condo home in 2014 in Southwood riviera, Torrance, CA. Kim was very professional and at the same time very friendly. We felt like she dedicated all her time to solve our issues and answer our questions. Negotiated on our behalf what should be paid by seller. Communicated with the seller agent to find answers to our questions regarding the apartment. Communicated with HOA on our behalf. Even after the sell was finalized she continues to help us with some issues we have regarding internet installation.read moreread less

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
Moto O. 10/28/2021Kim 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 did quick market research to come up with 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 a result, I could accept an amazing offer (buy as it is with a $25K higher listing price) among 5 multiple offers in less than 10 days. Kim completed the escrow in 27 days. I recommend her professional work.read moreread less
ginaletran 8/25/2026Sold a Single Family home in 2026 in Southwood sunray, Torrance, CA. Kimberly Doner was the best decision we made throughout the entire home-selling process. She helped us identify and prioritize targeted upgrades that would enhance the value of our home, all while working within a tight timeline. Her guidance was thoughtful, strategic, and incredibly effective—we ended up selling our home for over asking price! Throughout the process, Kimberly was exceptionally organized, communicative, and proactive. She kept us informed at every step and made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable. She is truly a 5/5 and we would absolutely work with Kimberly again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, strategic, and trustworthy real estate agent.read moreread less
yendor11 8/12/2022Highly likely to recommend Selling your home comes with a-lot of emotions. It naturally becomes a stressful situation. We put our trust and faith in Kimberly because she came strongly recommended by a close friend. Well, I am here to pass it forward. Kimberly came in and made the whole process as seamless as possible. Her reassurance to do everything in her power for a successful transaction was not just vocalized in the beginning of the process, but was felt through out until completion. Her team and along with their efforts delivered optimal results for our family. We are grateful and thankful to Kimberly for her services.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
V D. 10/19/2021We 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
cheryl h. 11/02/2015Sold 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 disappointedread moreread less
ryanbakeremail 11/01/2019Highly likely to recommend Kim Doner is not only a friend and a neighbor, but a fantastic realtor. Recently, I had the opportunity to work with Kim and her team while purchasing my first home.
Kim and her assistant, Lauren, worked long hours, were always available to answer questions and would go out of their way to make sure I had the accurate and up-to-date information.
Kim's negotiating skills during the purchase process were outstanding; as the home I purchased required updates and repairs. I was also able to take advantage of several of Kim's professional contacts and their expertise during and after the close of escrow.
Although the purchase of a home and all that goes with it can be a challenge, I thank Kim and her team for making this first time home buyer's experience as easy as possible.
Sincerely,
Ryan Bakerread moreread less
user1044453 2/20/2013Bought a Single Family home in 2012 in Southwood, Torrance, CA. Kim, I received your text the other day and Kerie told me all of the extremely nice (and unnecessary) things you did for us once the house closed, thank you so much. Not just for the gift, but for your professionalism and support through the home buying process. As I mentioned we have worked with a number of realtors over the past ten years and you have been far and away the most professional and accommodating agent we have worked with. Kerie and I would be more than happy to be a reference if you desire, we'll also be on the lookout for any future buyers or sellers to send your way (we have already told Kerie's brother and his fiancée that they are foolish if they don't work with you when they are ready to buy). We look forward to having your family over for a BBQ once we've settled in a bit. Thanks again Kim, take care, Brian and Kerie Albanoread moreread less
