What our Clients Think
happyfmly6 7/10/2019Highly likely to recommend It was great working with Kim from the beginning to the end. She informed us of everything during the entire selling and buying process. Kim sold our home above asking with multiple offers in just a few days. She also found us the perfect home in Torrance and we couldn't be happier. Her ultimate goal was to make the home buying and selling experience effortless with her endless knowledge. Kim achieved her goal and exceeded all of our expectations! We will never forget the experience.

jerry z. 4/13/2020Highly likely to recommend As a first time home-buyer, I would highly recommend Kim to be your agent. She is incredibly responsive and is willing to adjust her schedule to meet your priorities. Additionally, Kim is knowledgeable when it comes to the details of home buying. Even when she doesn't know the answer, she is more than willing to direct you to the right person. Finally, Kim is extremely proactive and will check on you on a regular basis throughout the entire process.read moreread less
Chris T. 5/09/2023We worked with Kim on selling our newly remodeled townhome and purchasing our dream home in Rolling Hills Estates. After not having the most favorable of experiences with previous agents, Kim was a welcomed change. Kim came highly recommended by a trusted person in the industry who we had worked with several times in the past.
Kim is professional, honest, and detail oriented. Kim has excellent negotiation skills, and her work ethic is second to none.
Kim’s calm and data-driven approach to real state helped put us at ease in stressful and emotional situations that occasionally arose during the buying and selling process.
Kim also has a fantastic team around her that can help with anything a new homeowner might need. From handymen to chicken coops to pool guys, Kim has a contact she can pull up in minutes.
Kim is a highly talented agent – we are grateful to have found her and will be using her again in the future.read moreread less
Noreen D. 4/12/2017
Kim was such a pleasure to work with! We were in a situation where we wanted to buy the home we were currently renting, and had to do so quickly. This was our first time buying a home, and Kim's professionalism and market expertise helped tremendously when putting together our offer. Her guidance on what the typical procedures are and what to expect throughout the whole process helped relieve a great deal of the stress. We are so grateful to have had her as our agent and would definitely recommend her services! read moreread less
Kevin E. 5/13/2018
Kim Doner has been representing my wife and I since 2015. 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 moreread less
Richard O. 4/21/2022Highly likely to recommend 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
kristin h. 7/06/2022"Kim Doner embodies EVERYTHING that you’d ever need or want in a real estate agent. Kim sold our home in two days for almost $100,000 over asking. From our first meeting to (hopefully not) the last, she’s been prepared, available, and kind. She has an amazing team of painters, handymen, stagers, and cleaners. I highly recommend using ALL of her advice. Best experience we’ve had without stress or worry. If you are looking for an agent, Kim Doner is the BEST"🙌
She even gave us a framed painted picture of the home we sold. She's a trustworthy agent💯‼️read moreread less

Kim is a trusted Realestate professional and truly incredible to work with. I have had the pleasure to work with Kim on dozens of Realestate transactions over the past 10 years. I would like to give her the highest recommendation possible and don't feel five stars is enough. Communication, reputation in the local market and top level negotiating skills has been my experience every time but on top of that she has a great personality and team and is a lot of fun to work with too. read moreread less
user9832883 2/20/2013Bought a home in 2012 in CA 90503. As first-time buyers, my husband and I were excited and a bit nervous about purchasing a home. The process could not have gone smoother. From the first meeting when we received our loan pre-approval to the day we got the keys, Kim was with us every step of the way, making sure we were comfortable with our decision. She accommodated our busy schedules -- my husband's with his job and mine as the mother of a young toddler -- by sending us documents to sign electronically and even meeting with inspectors at our new home when we couldn't be there. Her own experience in doing a recently major home renovation allowed us to see houses beyond the cosmetic. My family is now happily settled into our new home and we have Kim to thank.read moreread less
Peter G. 9/01/2021
We are so happy that we chose Kim as our broker! 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 moreread less
arhsieh 6/18/2013Bought a Condo home in 2013 in Playa vista, Playa vista, CA. I had a great experience working with Kim on my home purchase.
During the home search process, Kim pulled out all the stops, making sure that I was aware of all the available homes and new listings that met my criteria. It helped a lot that Kim is very familiar with my area and also knows all the various real estate agents that work the area.
Once I picked the home I wanted, Kim had great advice for me on how to bid strategically. My home had several offers on it. I won the bid with Kim's great advice.
During the closing process Kim was very helpful in coordinating all the various steps that would have otherwise drove me insane. I didn't have to call all the different parties, escrow officers, loan officers, etc. when I had questions. I just called Kim and she got me answers back very quickly.read moreread less
user4215995 10/28/2021Highly likely to recommend I can't imagine a better agent to work with than Kim Doner. I've had the pleasure of working with her twice; first on selling my mom's house and then selling mine. She really does her research and is extremely familiar with the areas and properties. She helped me to get my place in order and then list it, and made the place look like brand new while still keeping an eye on not over-spending on non-essential fixings. I received 7 offers, all over asking price. Unfortunately I'm moving out of state and won't be able to have her as my agent for any future listings. If I could clone her, I would! Kim definitely sets the bar high, being very professional, courteous, and responsive. Do yourself a HUGE favor and hire her as your agent! You won't regret it!read moreread less
Michael M. 11/09/2021I began the process of first-time-home-buying by soliciting advice and support from my office co-workers and out-of-state family. However, due to LA's extremely competitive housing market, I never quite felt comfortable or prepared for the work to come. Everyone also loves their agent and after some careful research, it was clear why a recommendation for Kim stood out. I agreed to a meet and greet, and immediately felt more prepared and at ease with the idea of her helping us find a home.
Kim is not only experienced when it comes to the process of buying a home, but she's also very much in the know when it comes to talking to competitive and reliable lenders, contractors, inspectors, you name it. She has lists and lists and lists of people that she swears by, and to this day I'm still using some of her awesome referrals and would probably be out of pocket on some serious cash had I not taken her advice.
At the end of the day, you want an agent who works as hard, or harder than you do to stay on top of things. Kim and Lauren (her incredibly awesome executive assistant) were effectively available around the clock to talk or answer dumb questions on almost any subject. Both my partner and I had crazy complicated hours due to our jobs, but we were still able to keep up with Kim & Lauren and turnaround offers and documents on a very convenient schedule. There's a reason why almost every agent we met at an open house knew of Kim, and there truly is a reason why Kim is so highly rated and respected on sites like these - she performs and leaves her clients very, very happy.read moreread less
kristy g. 9/16/2018Highly likely to recommend As first-time homebuyers, we could not be happier that Kim Doner was by our side to take us through the process. From our first meeting with her, it was obvious that she genuinely cared about us as people and wanted to make sure we found a house that we could call home. She explained to us what the basic process was going to be, and then took the time to talk to us about what our needs and wants were, what was realistic, and where to start. Kim, and her assistant Lauren, went to preview houses when we couldn’t get to them and gave us great reports, and even videos, on what they saw. Kim was honest in answering our questions, very knowledgeable, and gave us different ways to look at things, but never tried to push us in any direction. Her patience was unwavering as we talked through big decisions with her, sometimes several times over. She always found the time to answer questions, making it work despite all of our crazy schedules. Kim is incredibly detail-oriented, and she has a person for everything. That made the inspection process substantially less stressful than it could have been because we knew we could trust her recommendations (all of the vendors we wonderful!); plus Kim and Lauren took care of setting up all of the appointments for us. It could not have been easier! We are thrilled with how everything worked out, and we enthusiastically recommend Kim to anyone looking to purchase a house in the South Bay!read moreread less
