What our Clients Think
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
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
Kevin F. 10/19/2021Kimberly 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

In the insanity of the real estate market, Kim is the steady hand that will guide you and help you in purchasing your next home!
Kim will walk you through the home buying process and not only was she super patient, answering any and all questions you had, but she would get back to you quickly, and her team was also on top of everything from beginning to end.
Kim would always send us any properties she felt would fit our budget, and we are so glad that she was on our side.
She is the best of the best. Do not hesitate to use her for your next home purchase. You'll be glad you did.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
MatthewHascup 12/18/2018Highly likely to recommend Kim and her assistant Lauren were great to work with helping my buy my first home. As a first time buyer they walked me through the whole process and I never felt overwhelmed or unprepared for the process. They were incredibly responsive and were available whenever I wanted to check out a property. We ended up getting our offer accepted on the third property which I understand is pretty good in this market. I had a planned international vacation literally days after getting the offer accepted but Kim was able to manage everything while I was away and doing all the paperwork through e-signature was a lifesaver. I would definitely recommend Kim to anyone looking for a realtor in the South Bay.read moreread less
judyschneid 8/05/2015Showed home in 2009 in CA 90266. No one works hader for her clients than Kim Doner. She has a gentle but persistant manner, and she will help negotiate the best possible deal. If you are a buyer, Kim will search until she finds you the perfect home. If you are a seller, she uses many ways to advertise your listing and won't slow down until your home is sold. I highly recommend Kim for any of your residential real estate needs.read moreread less
user79964950 2/28/2013Bought a home in 2011 in CA 91302. It was a pleasure working with Kim Doner and we are pretty satisfied with the house we bought. Kim has all the skills as a successful realty agent. We will certainly recommend Kim to our colleagues and friends when we are asked for reference.read moreread less
christinaleighwagner 7/30/2015Bought 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!read moreread less

It has been such a pleasure working with Kimberly Doner!
My husband and I were referred to her by a mutual friend because she had expertise in the South Bay Area - specifically Torrance, CA. Because she has local knowledge, she was able to show us homes in areas with great schools and amenities for parents of young children. Furthermore, she is very knowledgeable and professional in all dealings and was able to assist us - first-time home buyers - through the process of buying a house.
Kimberly's negotiation skills are excellent. She was able to negotiate on our behalf with the seller so that we received the best deal possible.
Lastly, her team at Keller Williams was incredible and patient with us throughout the process. Her associate, Alan Butler, was our right-hand man as well. In fact, he took the time to film a video of the house for us that we eventually bought prior to us seeing it for the first time.
I would highly recommend Kimberly for more than the above mentioned qualities! It has been a pleasure working with her and connecting with her!read moreread less
Jack A. 7/10/2022Highly likely to recommend 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!!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
zyart 4/25/2017Sold a Townhouse home in 2017 in Summerwind, Torrance, CA. I cannot say enough positive comments to describe our experience with Kimberly. After interviewing 3 Realtors from 3 different companies, our choice was clear, Kimberly made a great impression from the beginning, knowledgeable, caring, respectful and great ideas to make our experience smooth, easy going, with the ultimate goal of maximizing our selling price, which I have to say, was Record Setting for our area. She made us feel confident in her ability from day one, so we listened and went with her ideas, which ultimately brought us the results we could only hope for. Thank you so much Kimberly for everything, we truly enjoyed working with you and would refer you to anybody looking to sell there home. All the Best, Robert and Sandraread moreread less

She patiently and professionally navigated us through difficult decisions, ultimately helping us land our dream home. She remained on the ready with insightful questions to guide our journey. Her team ensured the entire transaction went smoothly. Kim also helped us navigate through rentback and transitioning into renovations. We are so grateful for Kim and her team!read moreread less
Peter L. 3/27/2025When 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
