Choosing Kim as our agent was one the best decisions we made as first time home buyers. Buying a home can be a very stressful process, but Kim was extremely... read more helpful in relieving a lot of that stress by making sure to walk us through every step of way. Kim also introduced us to a very reputable lender who helped us secure our loan. We highly recommend Kim for first time home buyers and we hope to work with her again in the future as well as recommend her to all of our family/friends.

  I've said this many times to Kim during my first home buying experience and she is simply the best. She is so patient and understanding. I'm the type who will... read more read documents line by line and she was so attentive and helpful answering and explaining my endless questions. I dealt with some personal challenges and hardships while in escrow and Kim was always a calm and reassuring supporter in my corner. I am a single woman purchasing my first home while still fairly new to the area and I honestly don't know if I would've been able to have such a successful experience had I not had Kim in my corner. I had a number of my friends join me during some of the milestones of the closing process and they have all said they want to be Kim's future client when they are ready to make a home purchase.

  We had the greatest experience with Kim. We were first-time home buyers. Not only was Kim an absolute joy to work with, but she was patient and guided us through... read more every step of the process. Kim will be our first call the next time we are looking for a home. Could not recommend her enough!

  There are no words to express our gratitude for Kim. We have come full circle, she originally represented us when we purchased our first home, during the pandemic. Fast forward... read more four years and is our agent in selling as we move out of state. Kim is a wealth of knowledge, professional, understanding, and goes out of her way to answer any and all questions. She did an amazing job in marketing our home - 19 offers and 15 days later we closed escrow. It was a whirlwind and she was there at every step.

Kim - thank you for everything, it has been an absolute pleasure. Let us know when you're in NC!

  Alchemy Properties - what an apt name, as my time with Kim was pure magic. We had a hard sale, because it was my mom's house of 30 years... read more and the center of our family life. Every good thing happened there. But she passed and her wishes were to sell the house and the proceeds given to her children. I'm in the real estate business and work with a great guy who found Kim for me. He's a broker, like Kim, and as a favor, and unbeknownst to me, searched for someone to help me, as if he were looking for someone himself. So, it was another professional that steered me to Kim.

Doing due diligence, I interviewed 4 of the top agents in the area. I thought I already knew who would represent us because there was someone else, a team, that was tops in our specific area and leaders in our specific market. However, after Kim left the meeting, I practically jumped out of my chair; "She's the one!" Next was the couple I thought would get it, and they were strong. But they wanted to paint, and stage, and this and that, when I had already staged it before I started interviewing. Kim responded to everything special about the house and lush gardens; everything beautiful and already in place. She saw what my mom had created and how that beauty, I hoped, was shinning through. She liked it just how it was, save for a little more clearing of surfaces. (Do what a pro says.)

Most of all, Kim reminded me of my mom; a woman who's beauty was beside the point, it was her intelligence, professionalism, humor and kindness that defined her. I watched her interact with prospective buyers, everyone really, and she related equally well to women as men. She listens. She brought up things I'd told her I forgot I'd even said. She is deeply empathetic. She is quiet and observant and respectful. She's also funny.

She did excellent marketing and we had an open house for just one weekend. I didn't want a lot of strangers going through the house. It was mobbed. We got 6 strong offers, all over asking by the end. That's when the phrase, "Iron fist in a velvet glove" came to mind. Her years of experience and keen negotiation skills came front and center. It was amazing to watch her. She always asked for my input, but I deferred to her every time. I think by the end she was used to me answering, "Whatever YOU think," because she was masterful.

During the initial interview, she interviewed me too. She asked what I wanted. I said a strong deal, solid, but also, important to me; I want someone to inhabit that house that would love it more and more every day they lived their lives there. I wanted someone who appreciated the rare gem that is was.

Magically, that's exactly what I got.

Kim was a healer, helping me get through the whole process, fraught with emotional pitfalls, didn't let me fall apart, and guided us through to the other side, thankful, bittersweet of course, but knowing undoubtedly, that no one could have done better, nor been more perfect.

  As a first-time home buyer, Kim was an amazing agent to help guide me and my girlfriend through a competitive market. I had a time limit for my present... read more lease as well. Kim was patient and attentive throughout the whole process. She provided us a lender that gave us a great rate.

Our first offer got accepted almost 3 weeks after the offer was made. It then became a 60-day contingency from the seller, and we had to backed out, but Kim stuck to our side to keep on the hunt. We even got outbid in 2 more offers in the next run.

It was a roller coaster of emotions before we finally found our home! We were the first to see the property, and put a bid in the next morning. The seller even took backup offers that was $15k more than our offer, and we still closed escrow in 26 days.

When we grow to search for our next home, Kim will be our person.

  My wife and I are 1st-time buyers and relatively new to LA. Kim helped us explore neighborhoods and homes and led us to buying an amazing townhome in an... read more amazing location. Kim was very patient with us, which was extremely appreciated since we are very green to the entire home buying process. She was also very organized, responsive, helpful, and an overall pleasure to work with. We felt informed through each step of the process and by the end, had no surprises, and keys in hand 🙂 We absolutely would recommend Kim and look forward to working with her again.

  As a first time homebuyer who has worked with Kim throughout the whole process all the way from planning to buy a house to furnishing the home I now own,... read more I can say that I'm so happy to have gone with Kim as my agent. Kim is patient and has a calming demeanor, which was perfect for myself as an anxious first time homebuyer with endless questions. She's responsive and detail oriented, which was key to help us move along smoothly in the process. She listens and adapts, which allowed us to eventually find a home that I truly love. She's knowledgeable, well-connected, honest, and doesn't push her own agenda on you, which makes her a trustworthy agent and now friend. Kim is also just a kind person and was an absolute pleasure to work with. As with anything important in life, there were bumps in the road and I'm so happy to have had Kim in my corner to guide me throughout this process.

  Kim from start to finish was an absolute pleasure to work with, but before that, it's important to share how we found her. When we bought our first condo with... read more another agent, Kim was the listing agent. We were so impressed with her then that my wife and I saved her info for when we would enter the home-buying process again. Fast forward 2 years later, and it was the time again. We reached out to Kim, and just from the questions she was asking us, we knew we were in good hands. From the process of putting our first home up for sale to backing out of an offer due to issues during inspection and then ultimately finding our dream home, Kim was amazing. She keeps you informed every step of the way, is always available for questions, and is a master negotiator during the entire process. She ensured we got the best offer possible on our old home and also helped us find our dream home that was beyond our expectations. She made one of the most stressful things in life feel much easier to handle, and this all being during the holiday season. For anyone looking to buy or sell your home, you won't find anyone better than Kim.

Thank you again Kim and you're always welcome to have some lemons!

Best,
Conner and Valerie
