Kimberly has a unique ability to hear your home ideas and help you find the perfect home for you. She has a wonderful way of communicating clearly and honestly. Kimberly is friendly and easy to talk to- she guides you through finding and buying a house in an accessible manner..Once we found my dream home, the path to buying it was very smooth. Thank you Kimberly for demystifying the process.

We had the best experience with Kimberly, and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. We were first-time home buyers, and Kimberly was extremely patient, educational, and responsive throughout the entire time. After looking for months on our own, Kimberly was able to find our dream home in the first couple weeks of working together, and then successfully navigated us through bidding and closing. Her expertise and professionalism is unmatched and made our process go really smoothly.

Kimberly was the most effective realtor we have ever worked with. We had a somewhat complex situation requiring us to simultaneously sell our starter home and buy our dream home while working remotely before moving back to Sacramento on a very tight timeline. Kimberly worked tirelessly nights and weekends to accommodate our busy schedules to make it happen! She heard and understood our haste and was able to jump on a quick Zoom the day we reached out aEUR" an illustration of the drive and commitment to us she exemplified throughout the next 3 months. She immediately hit the ground running aEUR" compiling a comprehensive to-do list for the sale within a few days, organizing various contractors lickety-split for a myriad of issues, getting it staged and photographed, and meeting everyone on-site since we couldnt! She did all this within our budget and got our home to sparkle like the gem it is. The sale itself was a whirlwind and we could not have done it without her diligence and guidance, quickly explaining and turning around countless documents to get us over that finish line. While we were working to sell our home, we were also working to identify-then-buy a larger dream home. Somehow, Kimberly was absolutely on that too aEUR" sending us options, hearing our feedback, refining her search each day, and getting the inside scoop whenever we needed a bit more info. Indeed, I'm confident her ability to communicate effectively with the sellers agent and her zealous advocacy is exactly what got our offer accepted on our dream home. The market in Sacramento is still very aggressive, and Kimberly was able to provide us multiple options to give our offer the bump ups needed to ultimately get it accepted. We never felt pressured by her to make an unreasonable offer; but her confidence inspired us to follow our gut win the house. Once we hit the mark, on top of all that, she did a handful of FaceTime walk throughs with us, arranged contractors, and made sure that escrow closed without a hiccup (despite plenty of unavoidable bumps along the way). Again, we could not have done it all without her. We would recommend Kimberly to anyone in a heartbeat, without hesitation, for selling, buying or selling AND buying a home.

Kimberly is the Fairy Godmother we could not have done without when simultaneously selling AND buying a home! We approached Kimberly to help sell our Oak Park home and then find and buy our larger dream home aEUR" all in the space of 3 months, nearly the holidays, and while were two states away (yes, really) and she Made. It. Happen. She heard and understood our haste and was able to jump on a quick video call the day we reached out aEUR" an illustration of the drive and commitment to us she exemplified throughout the next 3 months. She immediately hit the ground running aEUR" compiling a comprehensive to-do list for the sale within a few days, organizing various contractors lickety-split for a myriad of issues, getting it staged and photographed, and meeting everyone on-site since we couldnt! She did all this within our budget and got our home to sparkle like the gem it is.

Indeed, I'm confident her inside scoop and zealous advocacy is exactly what got us our dream home. Once we hit the mark, on top of all that, she did a handful of phone video walk throughs with us, arranged contractors, and even spoke with the neighbors for even more intel on the aEUR~hood. Again, we could not have done it all without her. We would recommend Kimberly to anyone in a heartbeat, without hesitation, for selling, buying or selling AND buying a home.

Kimberly is spectacular! I first met with her in September at an open house. She was so welcoming and answered all of my questions. I connected with her later to show me a property. During that visit we talked about real estate market/economy and my concerns. She said something very simple and impactful that home buying is less about economic conditions, however it is about you and when you are ready. We started looking homes. She was always available and had thorough information about the house before the visit. She had good observation about my needs and mindset. She suggested to view properties before open houses. That was brilliant idea as it gave me time to think about the property and if would like to move forward with submitting the offer. I am a home owner today because of her! She connected me with the best lender, submitted my first offer, coordinated all the inspections, negotiated with seller for credits and we closed in less than 20 days. Best thing about Kimberly is that she provides recommendations that most of the agents dont do. Kimberly is the best!!!! Thanks Kimberly for making my dream come true!
