Working with Kim Carey made the difficult task of purchasing a house a much easier process. Any and all questions and concerns we had were addressed quickly and professionally. She provided us with contact details for excellent carpenters, painters and a home inspection company. Her calm demeanor and confidence helped us through the stress as she was able to help us complete the purchase of our new home in about two weeks. We look forward to Kim selling our old house given her outstanding knowledge of the local real estate market and strong work ethic.

Working with Kim was the most amazing first time home buying experience we could've asked for! My best friend recommended my boyfriend and I to her and we are so grateful that she did. It was our first time buying a home and she made sure that we knew exactly what to expect at every step of the way. She went above and beyond for us and was on FaceTime with us at 10:00 pm on a Saturday night writing up our first home offer. And, she worked her magic so well that we already have solid equity in our home. She was so knowledgable about what to look for in a good, reliable home, and was sure to remind us of the things that she knew we wanted in a home to make sure we didn't settle and found the perfect home for us. Even after closing day she has checked up on us and made sure the move-in was going well. She's not just our realtor, she's our friend!

5 stars just aren’t enough for Kim! My best friend referred to me Kim and told me how incredible she was, and she was so right. I am genuinely clueless when it comes to home-buying and the market, and Kim made my first home buying experience SO perfect. I close on my first home today, and the process has been so smooth it’s almost unbelievable! She genuinely cares for your needs and wants and leads you in the exact right direction. She genuinely feels like she’s on your side when touring homes and searching for the right one. The deal that she got me (especially during these crazy times) is amazing and I couldn’t believe it when she first told me! I will be referring everyone I know to Kim, words can’t even explain how amazing she has been :)

After retirement I was concerned about my next step, after meeting with Kim she helped us through every step of selling our house. I never thought selling the home that I raised my family in would go so smooth but Kim made sure everything went seamless. Thank you Kim for everything

When my family and I had plans to move out of the area, we had a very long and specific timeline to work with. Not only did we need to sell our house but we needed to find one that would fit our families needs, specific on location and it needed to work with the timeline that we had set. In a world where there are so many realtors to choose from, we knew we needed the RIGHT one. We did a lot of research and we were brought to Kimberly Carey. We contacted her and right from the start she took charge and excepted the challenge that was presented her with. She worked diligently to find us a home, when there were almost none to choose from. She ended up working her magic and finding us the perfect off market home. Then she had to sell ours but also fit it into our very specific timeline. When she went to list our home, she missed absolutely no details. We put our heart and soul into our home and we wanted someone to make it shine like it should and Kim was that person, 100%. She had our house listed and pending within 4 days, with multiple offers over asking. People refer to it as “the house that broke the internet”. If there was a problem to arise big or small, she would find a way that she could make it work for us and always went the extra mile. We could not thank her more for all that she did for us, through our time working together. If you want someone who will always put you first, Kim is your realtor.

Kim was phenomenal! She worked diligently to sell our duplex and get us the house our family needed. Through the whole buying and selling process, she was there to walk us through and fight to get us what we needed. If you're looking for a genuine, hard working realtor, look no further!

You see a lot of hokey merchandise at stores that sling around terms such as, "Girl Boss", "Slay Queen", and "Boss Lady". Kim is the real life personification of what others hope to be with their inspirational coffee mugs. She's a tough and experienced negotiator, she brings a lot of knowledge to a deal, and you know she never stops working when she is sending you updates while out of the country on vacation.

But beyond a high work ethic and good instincts- Kim also has admirable character. She listens to your needs in a house, works to understand your unique situation, is honest even if it's not what you want to hear, and leads you through the entire process like a friend.

Working with Kim was our first time working with a realtor at the age of 70. We’ve sold all of our homes ourselves. From our initial meeting to walking out the door Kim far exceeded exceptions. Of course everything went wrong on our last day in the house. Due to circumstances beyond our control we weren’t able to clean the house to our expectations. Kim actually kicked off her heels and helped mop and clean. During closing she made sure we qualified for a homestead exception tax that was expiring on the day of our closing. Kim quickly filed the homestead tax application online for us during our closing. From start to finish Kim was upfront, honest and embodied the values of the agency that people’s happiness and satisfaction are priorities.

If you, your family members or friends are considering selling your home don’t hesitate to call Kim.

Kim was my agent on the purchase of a new build. She was there for me from beginning to end. Whether it was choosing the different selections for the house prior to the build all the way to closing. Every step of the way she was there to ensure everything was going smoothly during the entire build and all the contract work. If there were any issues that I was unable to communicate with the builder, Kim was there to step in and take care of it. Would definitely work with Kim again.

Great job by Kim. We dragged her through several homes in a short period of time and she was very patient with us. She also did a fantastic job during the negotiation process to buy the home.

From the for sale sign with dog to the orange envelope we received at closing, everything was above and beyond. Kim took the time from start to finish to help us understand with great detail, the process of selling our home. She was always available for our questions and our concerns. She knows the market and is willing to share her knowledge and expertise to give you the the best opportunity available. I cannot recommend a better person for your home finding or selling needs. We are thankful we were given the opportunity to work with Kim.

First Time Home Buyer Nov 18, 2022
Kim exceeded all of our expectations! As first time home buyers we had very little knowledge of the process or even what we actually wanted in a home. Because of this, we ended up backing out of the first couple homes we got accepted offers on. Yikes. I know, but Kim was EXTREMELY understanding through it all. She continued to educate, inform, and even made thoughtful suggestions. Without her we definitely would have purchased a fixer upper home our of our league or overpaid for a turd. Kim walked us through buying our home step by step, with the patience of an angel, and spent many late nights working with us. She goes over and beyond, consistently! Kim is a master at her craft and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Any review for Kim will not be able to properly convey just how helpful and knowledgeable she really is. She just helped me buy my first home and made it incredibly easy even though I lived out of state. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and showed me a number of great places. She has the eye of a builder when showing homes and is able to point out where things have been done well or where updates have been done poorly, as well as being able to spot things that could be an issue in the future, which was incredibly important since we were doing all of the showings via FaceTime. Also, as a first-time buyer, this was absolutely amazing because I obviously wouldn't know to look or check for those things myself, and it showed that Kim was really there to help me make the best decision. We eventually found the perfect home and even though I was ready to pay the list price, Kim got me a great deal and saved me thousands of dollars. She went above and beyond every step of the way and since closing has even been a great resource for good painters, etc in the area.

Kim was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I was going through some personal issues and had to sell my home and she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I honestly don't think I could have done it without her! She took what felt impossible to me and made it not only possible but effortless on my part. She was a godsend.

Kimberly is a rare gem. She has been our agent for a year and as a long distance buyer, I was thrilled with her knowledge, understanding and patience. Kimberly made us feel as if we were family. All the little things she was able to assist with made a huge difference. We happily endorse her for other possible clients and will be sure to use her in any further purchases.

Kimberly helped me buy a house in Toledo and sell a house. She's been top notch during both processes. Not only was she a great realtor, she was a great friend the entire time our family was in Toledo! I'd recommend her to any and everyone!

Kim was wonderful to work with. She was knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. She was always available to answer questions. Even after the closing, she kept in touch to make sure we were settled in our new place.

Kimberly Carns went above and beyond every expectation that we could have had in our journey of looking, finding, and obtaining our new home! She listened to everything we wanted and helped with anything that we did not know about. She is extremely knowledgeable and goes out of her way to educate and help in any way possible. I couldn't imagine taking our journey with anyone else! She is the best!

Kim is the best realtor in NW Ohio / SE Michigan. She helped me buy my first home, patiently walked me through the entire process. Then 2 years later she sold it in 2 days for over asking. Then she helped me buy our forever home which was an off-market listing with a complicated title situation. Whatever your situation, put your trust in Kim. She will always act in your best interest.

There are not enough words to describe the amazing job Kim did helping us purchase our first home. We came from a bad experience with another realtor prior feeling very defeated. Kim assured us we would get what we wanted, and we did! She walked us through every step of the process and never left us wondering. If and when we ever have any other real estate needs she will be our first call every time!

Judy and I have bought and sold a few homes but not lately. We are ecstatic over the hands-on personal attention. Kim guided us to amazing success over typical speed bumps to a great sale. Even as we moved out of our home to CO she treated our home as it was hers till final documents were signed. Kim is also very connected to different professional specialists that take care of any issues immediately all the way to closing. We are so pleased that we easily recommended her and her team to folks close to us that were asking if we knew a good agent. Our answer was we don’t know a good agent but we have a great agent. Does this sound like we are thrilled? Thank you Kim!!!

Kim was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! As first-time homebuyers, it was such a blessing to have her in our corner. Not only did she have a great understanding of what my husband and I were looking for in our first home, but she was able to help us make smart, well-informed decisions throughout the process. Her insight and know-how was absolutely invaluable. We landed an amazing home that and much of the credit goes to Kim!

Working with Kim was incredible. She was so honest and direct when there was a gap in our knowledge, but she really zero’d in on our desires and helped us find a home that we will be living in and love for years and years as a family. Her knowledge of current market value and precision in negotiating with other agents in the area allowed us to pay only and exactly the value of the house in a market where extreme behaviors and overpayment were the norm. All in all we will be recommending her to everyone we know who is buying or selling.
