Kim did a great job of staging and selling our dad's former home. We appreciated her kindeness and help getting repairs done since we live on the other side of Washington. We would highly recommend Kim to help you sell your home.

We were retiring and moving across the state, Kim walked through our home and gave us a few ideas to promote the home. Kim gave us a very accurate and up to date market comparison along with a recommended price point. We took her advice and our home was under contract with in 10 days of being on the market over Christmas. The staging of our home was a great way to show a home when you have moved out. Thank you Kim for all the great service.

I enjoyed working with Kim. She is professional and organized. Kim helped with planning when to put our house on the market. She is knowledgeable about the local market and able to help with negotiation. Kim, thank you for all your help in this selling process.

It's been a wonderful experience working with Kim under this stormy real estate market. She made a typical stressful home buying process much smoother and did a great job in negotiation between parties. I was well educated and mostly worry free during the process under her care. Thank you Kim!

The process of selling a home with Kim was so easy. I had a situation where both owners needed to communicate with her separately and she was very accommodating. I also loved the ease of arranging the showings through an app on my phone. All around I would choose Kim again if I needed to sell or buy a home!

As Executor of my brother/sister-in-law’s extensive estate life quickly become way more complicated for me. It seemed every step along the way was tough. Needing to sell one of the rental properties I contacted Kim. I really wasn’t looking forward to the process. Well, Kim was like a breath of fresh air. At first contact Kim took control (at my request), worked with my tenant, made arrangements for cleaning and repair. She listed, sold and finalized the sale in a very short time. I would never sell or buy a property without Kim’s Help. I have already recommended Kim to several of my associates.

Kim Rucker and Roberta Rudnick demonstrated their Realty acumen during the sale of our grandmother's home in 2018, and we felt fortunate to be able to enlist their services for a second time. Professionalism always, astute knowledge of the market, reliable and responsive communication to our many questions, of course; but also kindness, patience and understanding with the emotions of letting go of a family home. As the project unfolded, many issues arose, but Kim's energy and optimism kept us all moving forward; we were so grateful for a team whose connections with tradespeople allowed for things to get done. When it was finally time for showing, as before, the team's staging was transformative, definitely an asset for the successful sales of both homes. We highly recommend this NextHome Team. Thank you Kim & Roberta!

Kim help us buy our house in 2012. For my wife there was no question who would help sell our house this year. I'd recommend Kim to anyone buying or selling in the Oly area.

Kim was fantastic. She helped guide us through this crazy market and found us the perfect house. Her insight in the real estate market in Olympia was important when making an offer on a house. Kim was always available via phone call or text, this was invaluable when houses go under contract in just a few days. We 100% recommend Kim for all of your real estate needs.

Kim went above and beyond to help make the buying and selling of our home as stress-free as possible! We would not have been able to do without her expertise and experience. She was always available to answer our many questions and we always knew we were in trusted hands. Cannot recommend enough!

Kim is awesome! We sought her out to be our seller's agent when we found a house in the hot Olympia market and wanted a great pro in our corner as we negotiated the deal. She is thoughtful and thorough, no-nonsense, calm, and friendly. She understood the timing and the pressures at the initial offer stage, and we successfully won our bid against other competing bid. We identified a drainage issue at the new house in the "11th hour," and she was instrumental in working with the seller's agend to repair that issue before we closed. Also, she helped us locate reliable. competent tradespeople to do work on our current home, too. We bought a house using her 9 years ago, and had a great experience with her, then, as well.

Kim was extremely helpful from start to finish in selling our house. She was always responsive to any question I had regarding the process. I would recommend Kim to anyone looking to sell or buy a house.

Kim Rucker handled the sale of my house and I was glad for her help. She was relaxed and kept me from feeling apprehensive about the process. I appreciated that she has been an Olympia Real Estate Agent for a number of years and therefore has built up a number of helpful contacts in the business.

Kim is wonderful to work with. She helped us buy & sell 9 years ago so naturally we contacted her to sell our house this time as well. She has good knowledge of the market, pricing, values, and 'street smarts.' She knows how to attract many buyers. There were times things weren't going as planned and she both calmed us and took care of it. We highly recommend Kim for buying & selling. Her & Roberta even staged our fairly empty house to give optimal showing ideas/vision. It was sold in 2 days. Thank you Kim for all you do! You da best.

We had a wonderful experience, for such a stressful event, with Kim as our agent. She has a calming demeanor and is proficient at the process of selling and buying a home. Kim was a great at listening to our questions and needs. She always provided answers and responds very timely. I will recommend Kim to our friends and family as their real estate agent.

From start to finish, Kim and Roberta made it easy to sell my house. They took care of all the details, including staging it so expertly. It sold very fast!
I highly recommend NextHome NW.

From start to finish Kim Rucker was very professional, kept us informed of every detail and answered our many questions quickly and efficiently.
Our transaction was during COVID and involved us moving from another state and relocating to Washington. Kim was patient with all our requests and we highly recommend her for your real estate needs. Thank you Kim for helping us get our dream home!

Kim was amazing to work with yet again. This is the 2nd house I've worked with Kim on selling and she's always been great to have on my side. She knows the market, had an idea of what the selling price would end up being and was spot on with it. When we had some inspection and appraiser issues she walked us though options and was very responsive between us and the buyer. Definitely will be using Kim again

What an amazing experience it is working with Kim. She makes you feel like finding you a home or selling your home is her #1 priority. She is very knowledgeable and truly wants what is best for you and your family. Her knowledge about homes and the area is most helpful. She is a fantastic realtor and I would highly recommend her for your next home buying or selling adventure.

Kim is truly the best! My first experience with Kim was 12 years ago, for the purchase of my first house. Although my budget was small, she spent so much time with me. She talked me through every step. Her advice along the way has stuck with me since. The experience Kim has, makes her an invaluable resource! She made me comfortable to take my time; never a rush to find the house and be done. It felt like she had all the time in the world and would be OK if I never picked one. Fast forward, 12 years... She has now helped me with 4 buying/selling transactions. When we began the search for a home in another state, it was difficult to think of working with anyone else. Kim even helped with that! Her recommendation was very close to the standards she has set, and made for a successful experience. We are now in the process of selling, what we thought could be, our forever home. It's a very different experience and Kim has been extremely compassionate. I could go on, but will just recap. I would HIGHLY recommend Kim for all of your realtor needs.

Kim made my first home buying process both simple and rewarding. She was consistently available and encouraging at every step. She is also very well networked in the area, and helped me find various people to help me with everything I needed to fix up my new home.
I plan to use Kim for future home purchases and sales :)
