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
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
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.

Very Happy Customer

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!

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.

Kim was amazing. She did a great job listening to what I was looking for in a home. Kim was thorough at each showing to look for problem areas and give ideas for maximizing spaces. She was blunt, realistic in setting expectations, and the voice of reason when needed but always with true care and kindness. Kim builds relationships and finds homes, not just sells houses. She and her team are the best!!

My husband and I had been considering selling our first home for months and it was not until the moment I reached out to Kim that we felt our dream could become a reality. I reached out to Kim on a whim on New Year’s Day, never anticipating to hear anything back from her until after the holiday weekend. Kim promptly responded to me and within a few hours we were chatting on the phone about our realty goals, dreams, and aspirations for our growing family. In a few days time, she was sitting at our dining room table sketching out a game plan. Kim went above and beyond helping us prepare our home to be listed, understanding the challenges the process brought with small children, animals, etc. I mean truthfully, how many agents would hold your toddler and play Toy Story to entertain him during closing?! Kim is knowledgeable, friendly, reliable, empathetic, dedicated, personable, and professional. When working with Kim, not only will you find your dream home, but you will also gain a friendship. I will forever recommend her to all of my family and friends!

As an experienced investor I work with different agents all the time. It's more common to have a lackluster experience and to be frustrated by an agent's performance. However, my experience with Kim was very positive. She was always a step ahead and never left me wondering what was happening. She thought ahead the entire process and was a pleasure to work with.

Kim did a wonderful job in assisting us in both purchasing a home and selling a home. She was available whenever we needed to discuss something, learned what we were looking for and offered suggestions, spent the time talking through different issues that came up, and offered her professional opinion. I would definitely recommend Kim to anyone.
