What our Clients Think
- user5394949 12/29/2020Highly likely to recommend 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 - Seve R. 10/16/2021After having bought and sold many properties over the years, we couldn't have been more pleased with the service we received from Kim and her team. Kim is a true professional with an amazing attention to detail. Her knowledge and experience helped ease the pain of selling our long time family home. Kim was patient and kind and always took the time to answer questions and offer suggestions for improvements that would help make the listing more desirable thus giving us a better sale price. We would highly recommend Kim to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.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
- ksf33 8/10/2015Showed home in 2013 in CA 90278. Kim is excellent at her job. She is very knowledgeable and extremely thorough. She made detailed charts of comps and provided full details of all homes we toured together. I trust her expertise and highly recommend her to help with buying and selling a home.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
- 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
- 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
- sawebster76 9/09/2021Highly likely to recommend 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.read moreread less
- Meghan V. 7/11/2016It 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 - klein4814 9/12/2016Sold a Single Family home in 2016 in Torrance, CA. I worked with Kimberly recently on the sale of my childhood home and she was awesome through the whole process. Her guidance on what home improvements we should make were spot on and she really has great insight into what buyers want. Her knowledge on how to price the home was also on the mark --- over 20 offers in less than a week with many well over the asking price. I could not have asked for a better person to represent us in this sale.read moreread less
- Ariel A. 4/02/2022A 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!read moreread less
- aureneilag 3/28/2021Highly likely to recommend There're so many good things about Kim, that we don't even know where to start. We are first time homebuyers and we've been talking about buying a house for a few years now. Seeing how competitive the market is nowadays, we started reaching out to realtors for general advice. At the time we found Kim, we had already talked to a few well rated realtors that specialized in the South Bay area, but at the end of the first consultation with Kim, we knew she was THE ONE. Unlike the other realtors we reached out to, Kim was very personable, always checked in on us, always followed up with other parties involved and most importantly, always talked about real estate in a way a regular person could easily understand. This meant the world to us as first time homebuyers; she alleviated any anxiety of buying a home and truly made it a fun and exciting experience. She really likes to get to know the buyer so that she makes sure to get the perfect house. At the same time, she meant business and she’s strategic too. When it came to bidding wars (which is always the case in the South Bay), she always got us into being one of the top considerations. Houses that we didn’t end up getting just got to the point where we thought it wasn’t worth it, but it helped us get a feel of how competitive the market really was and the market is crazy. Kim really helped us prepare for that. But oh boy, when we found a house that we really wanted, she really fought for it. Lo and behold, WE GOT IT! We found out from the seller that the way a realtor does business on the buying end truly matters. It was all thanks to Kim! If I could describe Kim in one word it would be: synergy. She’s always in sync the sellers, the lender, and us. Whenever I’d ask or follow up on something, she’d already been working it and I’d get it within minutes. In addition Kim has an arsenal of contacts for anything you need, whether it be for renovations, fixes, services, you name it– she’s got it!(and yes, she's also recommended us a lot of good restaurants :)) Overall, to us, she’s way more than just a realtor because she’d go above and beyond to get the perfect house for you. Her and her executive assistant, Lauren, are heaven sent. She’d be the first person to call if we do ever decide to get another house, but to be honest, I think we’ll be staying at the current house that she helped us get for a while because it’s that perfect. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat.read moreread less
- vongocnhi 10/26/2021Highly likely to recommend Kimberly is not only a skillful real estate agent but also a sweet and thoughtful person. Throughout the sale of our home, she offered the most responsive, helpful and productive service. She and her team made our home become the record sale in its neighborhood with multiple offers within couple days and ended up with above asking price. I can't thank you enough for her hard-working and positive spirit. If I ever need a real estate agent again, I will always go for Kimberly.read moreread less
- gbe386 11/24/2019Highly likely to recommend My wife and I recently relocated from SoFla to SoCal. Kim Doner, and her assistant Lauren Andrews, helped make this a very smooth transition. They were friendly, helpful, hard-working, and always available. But above all, they were excellent listeners to our needs and wants in order to find that perfect home. I am more than confident in recommending her!read moreread less
