So Many Happy Clients!
We feel so grateful to have Kim as our real estate agent! As first-time homebuyers, we appreciated all the help and guidance that Kim offered. She patiently answered all our questions, thoroughly explained how the process works, and was there for us every step of the way. Even during the peak of the competitive housing market, Kim helped us find, and get our offer accepted on, a home within two weeks after meeting her. She is professional, diligent, organized, and knowledgeable, especially when it comes to the South Bay market. We would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Highly likely to recommend 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.

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 price! 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 we needed. She is super organized, and detail originated. Kim 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.

We had a wonderful experience with Kim. She was very professional and had great communication at all times. We felt confident throughout the process knowing we had Kims expertise and wealth of knowledge. We were able to purchase a home that we love with her help! Thanks Kim!!

Highly likely to recommend Kim was everything we could hope for in a realtor! We found her after 2-3 years of "soft" looking on our own--visiting houses, stalking Zillow postings, and even thinking we might try to buy using a seller agent. Then one weekend we called Kim after browsing reviews online, and we never looked back! She is the most organized, professional, thoughtful, and helpful agent we could have imagined. She helped us move quickly on finding our first home, which is necessary in this market. We feel so lucky to have found Kim and are definitely going to recommend her to all our friends.

Highly likely to recommend To whom it may concern,
If you are looking for a real estate agent Kimberly Doner is your lady for you. She sold our house in 1 day getting more than what we asked. She is extremely professional, personable, and detailed oriented. She staged our home to sell using a dynamic team consisting of not just her but a professional stager and photographer as well. Her sales results speak for herself. You won't be disappointed.

Highly likely to recommend A co-worker referred me to Kim, since my partner and I were house shopping in LA - particularly in the South Bay. Even in this curaaaazy housing market, Kim connected us with a lender we liked and ushered us through the purchasing process. It took a few attempts to get an offer accepted, but we learned about the process through every step, and now we have a beautiful home in Redondo Beach we will cherish! Thank you so much, Kim!

We recently worked with Kim to sell an investment property. The property had been a rental for many years and needed work. Kim was extremely knowledgeable about the improvements we needed to make in order to get the greatest return on our investment. She coordinated everything with the repair crew and also recommended a wonderful staging company. Kim and her associates were professional, quick to respond, and made the whole experience as stress-free as possible. In the end, the property looked amazing! We received multiple offers and it sold quickly for more than the asking price. We are extremely happy with Kim's services and will definitely use her for any future real estate transactions.

Kim Doner is an exceptional real estate agent that worked with us constantly over a period of time, never giving up and in the end was successful in getting our offer excepted over a number of others. She goes above and beyond the call of duty for her clients, is always professional and responsive and is well versed in all aspects of real estate. She was truly a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone. She is the best of the best!

I have been a vendor in the real estate industry for 25 years. I have met and worked with literally thousands of Realtors over that period. Kimberly always seems to have the happiest clients. This is due to the kind and professional way she treats each one of them.
Any agent can show you a home for sale but, there are only a handful that go that extra mile to ensure their clients total happiness. Kimberly is one of those few.

We love Kim! My husband and I are so happy and were extremely impressed by our experience with Kim as our agent. From our first meeting with her through the close of escrow for our new home, Kim was smart, professional, attentive to every detail, informative and provided amazing advice. As first time homebuyers, Kim made everything so easy to understand and gave us great advice before every big decision we had to make along the way. We never imagined that the home buying process would be so pleasant, but Kim made it such a great experience. She led us in the right direction, and we ended up beating out two other offers to get into our home, which we love. We will be recommending Kim to everybody and anybody we know that is looking to buy or sell a home. She is truly a rockstar at what she does and hopefully you will be as lucky as we were to have her through this process as well.

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2018 in Hawthorne, CA. When my wife and I decided to buy our first home, we interviewed several agents in the South Bay and were so impressed with Kim. Highly personable, extremely knowledgeable on the South Bay, and a great process guide, Kim made the purchase process extremely smooth and enjoyable for us. Kim started by asking what WE wanted in our first home (honestly, this is more rare than you think - most agents tell you what you should want without listening to you) and armed with that information, she guided us on the best locations in the South Bay to begin our search. But Kim's real value kicks in after your offer is accepted. Her deep knowledge for the home buying process and her responsiveness to our questions put us completely at ease throughout 'escrow'. In addition, Kim's network of inspectors, handymen, and contractors helped us take care of all the necessary work needed on our new home before we moved in. And to top it off, after we closed, Kim and her assistant Lauren offered to help manage the work being done on the home (even offering to go to the home to let workers in!). Overall, great experience and highly recommend Kim to anyone looking in the South Bay.

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!

Bought a Townhouse home in 2014 in Redondo beach, CA. Kim was very helpful, patient and responsive. She was excellent in communicating technical questions we had about the home-buying and inspection process by contacting (and allowing us to communicate with) vendors or other third parties, as needed. She offered her advice appropriately, while still giving us the freedom to feel like we could make our own decisions with her knowledgeable experience. She made us feel like we were her only clients, even though she was actively working with others.
Kim made the buying process professional, yet we felt very comfortable in voicing our concerns. She was good at keeping things in perspective, remaining even-keeled and reasonably confident we could work through some of the challenges we faced in buying our home.

Bought a home in 2017 in CA 90502. Kim was and absolute pleasure to work with. Without her I would not have gotten the house of my dreams. Her knowledge of the local real estate market was very helpful in closing my deal. I can't recommend her enough. Her 8 years of experience really showed. She was a 10 out of 10 on a scale from the start to finish. You will not be disappointed if you use her to buy or sell your house. Best, Darrin

Sold a Single Family home in 2023 in Northwest torrance, Torrance, CA. Kim Doner was incredible to work with. She is personable, passionate, thoughtful, caring and made the whole process of selling out home so easy. Kim is very knowledgeable about what it takes to sell a home. Her and her team worked so hard to get everything in place and it seemed like everything fell into place so quickly and smoothly. We received multiple offers above asking in a short time due to Kim’s hard work and dedication. She made herself available to us through the whole process. I highly recommend Kim and her team if you are looking to buy or sell a property.

Bought a home in 2016. Kim helped me with a condominium purchase from 2015 through 2016. It was a new build situation so everything was delayed again and again. Throughout the purchase, from viewing through close of escrow, Kim was essential in coordinating between the funding company, the sales office, escrow, and myself to make sure everything went as smoothly as could be possible given the situation. The sales office was difficult to get a hold of and had odd hours but Kim was able to work with them and also work with me to pass on relevant information. She is on top of things and gets the job done!

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2023 in Rolling hills, CA. Where do I start? Kim is simply the best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with. She goes far beyond just professionalism, she literally made me feel like I was her #1 priority, even though I know she was juggling other clients. My needs & requests during the process never seemed to fluster her - which I greatly appreciated since I know I can be a tad high maintenance 🙂 I’ve unfortunately have dealt with some horrible agents so I am truly grateful that kim restores my faith in what a top notch agent can be.

Bought a Single Family home in 2016 in Southwood, Torrance, CA. I have worked with Kim Doner for about 5 years looking for the perfect house for us. She never got frustrated with the length of time it took or wavered in her commitment to help us find our home. I almost didn't go look at the house we ultimately bought because I didn't want to waste her time. She encouraged us to come see it and helped us put together a compelling offer in terms of price, terms, financing, etc. Once in escrow she was on top of the details and deadlines. She gave us invaluable contacts for a handyman, landscape architect, moving company, painter, and more. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor in this area.

Bought a home in 2010. We had the pleasure of working with Kim the summer of 2010 when we were finding our first home. She really made the process smooth and enjoyable. We saw our dream home with Kim on June 4th and closed escrow on July 20th. We couldn't have asked for a better result! Kim was always professional and responsive to all of our questions and needs and it was truly wonderful to work with her!

Highly likely to recommend We need to preface this review with noting that we are admittedly hard to please. Over the years we have worked with a number of real estate brokers when looking for and buying homes in the Los Angeles area, and without a doubt Kim is one of the very best we have ever worked with. Not only was she a delight to interact with, but every meeting we had or task she performed was flawless in its professionalism. Our hunt for a second home located in the South Bay lasted almost two years. Throughout our lengthy search, Kim was patient and always attentive to our questions and needs. She worked like a true professional advisor should: listen to our list of preferences (which changed over time), work around our busy schedules whenever possible, keep us informed, and explain everything as needed along the way. On top of that she was intuitive about the level of information and interaction we needed - always the right balance of staying connected without ever being pushy. When we finally decided on the home we wanted, she made sure that everything was done quickly and all bases were covered. She gave us sage advice on how to present our offer in the best possible manner in a competitive market. We ended up getting the home we wanted! She was also helpful in providing specialists and resources along the way and after our purchase - which is very convenient when you are new in an area.
In sum, Kim is a fantastic agent. If you are looking for a home in the South Bay and want a broker who is authentic, easy to work with, and excellent at her job, Kim is your agent.

Kim Doner is the absolute best -- A true five star gem! Hands down, from start to finish, Kim provided the single best customer service experience I have ever received, in any profession.
As a first time home seller, I was terrified of the real estate process. Yet... Kim sold my duplex when 1) I didn't live in the city, 2) during a pandemic, 3) and while it was tenant occupied. Her team painted, repaired, mended, scheduled, and dealt with city regulations on my behalf. She coordinated everything with escrow, walked me through the disclosure process, and always stayed positive. I just got to relax.
Not only that, but she also helped coordinated all inspections, appraisals, viewings, and city visits with both sets of tenants (duplex). I can't even begin to describe how relieving it feels to let a professional take this part on.
If those were all of Kim's highlights, I'd still say she deserves more than 5 stars. But the truth is that she did more - she communicated almost daily with updates, gave advice, listened and acknowledged my needs, and made it happen. Ultimately the house sold for almost 80k more than I thought it would. I can't believe I even considered handling this myself at one point.
I would work with Kim again in a heartbeat. Trust me. Just call her. In a few months, you'll be writing a review just like this!

Highly likely to recommend 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!

Highly 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.

Bought a Single Family home in 2017 in Northeast torrance, Torrance, CA. As first-time home buyers, my wife and I can both say that Kim has been exceptionally professional, friendly, and supportive from the start. She successfully guided us through the entire process with clear, accurate communication and much-appreciated encouragement. She also knows plenty of other helpful people, and her recommendations to us have always been spot-on. I'd recommend her to anyone.

When we initial thought about buying a house; we had several friends recommend their realtor. We knew it was going to be a stressful time especially when it came to one of the biggest purchases in one's life. We wanted someone trustworthy, experienced, available, and who had our best internet in mind. In all sincerity, Kim Doner exceeded our expectations.
Having experienced talking and meeting with a handful of real estate agents; we were blessed to have Kim Doner as ours. She is hard working, honest, authentic, and sincerely cared about our family of five. Through the house searching process, she put our hearts and minds at ease. It was a great experience working with her and we felt totally taken care of. Our family could not recommend anyone else as an agent. She will be our number one realtor for our future homes and our number one referral to our friends and family.
