After a very scary start moving 3 hours away from home, i was completely taken care of by Kim. She helped me SO much. Because of the honesty we shared with each other, we were able to have a very smooth transition into my unit she rented to me. After living there for 1 year, I learned to appreciate everything that Kim has struggled with throughout the years to make the apartment happen, and she really came a long way to take care of what i needed. Even after moving out, Kim has helped me with many things. A real friend. As long as there is honesty, nothing but happiness will come. If you see

Kim is incredible. In the past I had seen her work with clients and the amount of respect, time, honesty, and thoughtfulness she put into each transaction was incredible. I mentally took note and knew that when my husband and I were ready to buy a home it would be with Kim. Fast forward five years and not only did Kim do an incredible job as our real estate agent, but she was able to talk the sellers down in price, getting us a great deal! I can't rave about her enough, she is the best.

Ethical, Trustworthy, and Tenacious. We cant speak highly enough about Kim and her team. We bought our first house with her back in 2001 and shes been our Realtor through the 3 subsequent purchases and sales. She is an advocate for you as her client and she puts her clients first. Kim is a real believer in using real estate to grow wealth and she helped us take the right steps to make owning rental properties a reality. We used to self-manage our rentals but with tenant/landlord laws becoming more complicated by the year we turned that property management headache over to the professionals

I was Kim's first client 21 years ago, when she was first starting out as a realtor, and I was purchasing my first home on the central coast. Since then, she has represented my wife and I on two other occasions, including a recent 1031 exchange investment property deal with all of the complexities involved with that type of transaction.
Kim's attention to detail is outstanding. Her thorough knowledge of the real estate market, her negotiating skills, her tenacity, and her exceptional service are second to none. Quite simply, Kim always goes the extra mile, and leaves no stone unturned.

I just recently used Kimberly's Global RE to purchase a property in Paso Robles. I was blown away by Kimberly's incredible knowledge of real estate. We put an offer on a home (which had 22 other offers), and ours was the one accepted. Even more amazing was the fact that this was the first home we put an offer on in this crazy market. Her negotation skills were second to none, no surpirse there as she has an incredible background in international business. After offer acceptance, she held our hand threw the process and made sure we were absolutley 100% sure of our decision before closing on the
