Testimonials

"I've known Kim Ward for close to ten years and consider her a friend. I have also had the opportunity to utilize her services as a Real Estate Agent and have found her extremely professional, courteous and caring. She strives to ease her client's burden and the fears of buying or selling their homes, understanding the importance of either placing a family in the house of their dreams; or taking care of planning and guidance in the preparation stage prior to placing a client's home on the market. I would highly recommend Kim to all my friends and family."

Staging a Home Works!

Dear Kim and the Staged Homes Team,

Words cannot express how grateful my husband and I are for your generosity in allowing us to be the recipients of your phenomenal creativity. When I walked through my home last Thursday after your transformation I was stunned.

If word of mouth advertisement really works then you should continue to boom with your business. I have not slowed down in spreading the word and sending people to your website. Its ultimately up to God when our home will sell, but I am confident our "new" home will attract more potential buyers and make the selling price more than acceptable.

Please feel free to put this endorsement on your website or any other publication you distribute. We will never forget your kindness.

Sincerely,

Carmita and Larry Harwood

KIM IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Kim Ward's motivation and integrity will get the job done, whether looking to buy or sell. Her honesty from both the buying and selling perspectives helped us make the right decisions. Kim's knack for home decor and eye for selling techniques are an added bonus to her elite abilities.

Somehow she made us feel as if we were her only clients, giving us her undivided attention. Kim represented and fought for us every step of the way, and didn't stop until her job was complete.

Highly recommended...

SOLD in 1 day!

Recently I had the pleasure of doing business with Kim Ward. Kim is extremely knowledgeable in the field of real estate. I found her to be professional, thorough, and always responsive. She is also easy to talk to. She took the time to explain complex real estate regulations until I was comfortable with them. I was so impressed with her attention to the smallest details.


 

Anyone who has sold a home and bought another one knows the emotional roller coaster the whole process can be. Kim was wonderfully calm, no matter how "crazy" I got. I trusted her completely to watch out for my best interest. She continually made recommendations for ways to save me money and protect my investment. That's important.


 

Whenever I plan on selling or buying property in the future, I will not have anyone except Kim handle it for me.

P.S. I love my new home.

Testimonial from another Realtor!

We are writing to thank Kim and let her know how much we enjoyed working with you on our recent escrow. Your expertise, professionalism and calm manner during the entire escrow period were very much appreciated by us and by our clients.


 

Unfortunately, in our business it seems to be a rare occurrence when things go so smoothly, but you certainly made that happen and we are grateful to you for it.


 

We sincerely hope that we get the opportunity to work with you again soon.

First Time Buyers!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work in buying our new home. It was great getting to know you on both a business and personal level.

EXECUTOR OF ESTATE APPRECIATION

Dear Kim,

 

We want to express our appreciation for the tremendous, professional job that you did in selling our moms condo and assisting us with her estate. You took care of so many details, followed up meticulously every step of the way, and you were very informative and helpful. Your experience and knowledge were invaluable in dealing with issues that we would have had no idea how to handle. You always responded promptly to any questions we had and were patient with our response on any thing you needed us to do.

 

You were especially impressive when the first buyer died and you hardly missed a stride in finding another buyer and wrapping up the deal.

 

You certainly earned your money. We are so glad that we decided to go with a real professional like you rather than going to a discount broker or trying to do it ourselves. I cant imagine how we would have done it without your dedicated knowledge and assistance.

In short, we are very pleased with the job that you did and it was a pleasure working with you.

Lending us a Fax machine because we are so far away was another nice touch. How shall we get it back to you?

Sincerely,

 

Jack & Kathleen T.

 

 

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did in selling my house.  Especially after that 1st big mess.  I know working with probate can be challenging...It was very nice that you could step in and take care of the property including making some calls for me(that you did not have to do)and finding people that could do the work needed to sell the property. 

 

Thank you again,

Elvira Oden

 

HISAYO AND I TRUSTED YOU FROM THE START, THERE WAS
NEVER ANY DOUBT IN OUR MINDS ABOUT YOUR PROFESSIONAL
ABILTY TO MAKE THE SALE. WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

FOR SALE BY OWNER-KIND WORDS

Hi Kim,

 

I just wanted to let you know that our house is sold and we have the money in our hands. This may seem to be a consolation but I wanted to let you know how close you were to getting my business and why. I sold my house on Friday (FSBO) I was getting very tired of the FSBO thing. That following Monday I was planning on calling you to list it but we sold it. I happen to be in the mortgage business I must have spoke to 20 or more agents and found that they were RUDE and unprofessional. You were the ONLY exception! I liked the way you were courteous when you called. I thought you did an unbelievable amount of follow up. I think your going to be in this business a long time and I wish you the best.

 

Keep up the good work!

 

Sincerely,

Shinene J.

Kind words from Probate Attorney

Dear Mrs. Ward:

 

It has been a pleasure to work with you and your office on the sale of real property for my client's Estate.  As you know, the Estate needed a great deal of attention from an experienced broker.  Your Estate Services program allowed my client to have full confidence in the sale of the Estate's property.

 

Not only did you provide excellent marketing materials and programs but you were able to sell the property during a very though market.  My client and I greatly appreciated your staging of the property in order to maximize the appeal of the property to potential buyers and your negotiation skills with the buyer's agent which ultimately returned the highest value for the property.  In addition, your investigation of certain issues with the property allowed the Estate to be thoroughly prepared to negotiate those items with the purchaser of the property. 

 

I wanted to also complement you on your skills and knowledge of the probate real estate process and the professionalism that you brought to bear in this matter.  The services that you offer to probate attorneys and personal representatives is invaluable and should be utilized by more professionals.  I highly recommend your services.

 

Thank you once again,

 

Kim L. Anglin, Esq.

Past Clients

We will definitely be referring anyone looking for a home to you. You made the buying process easy and a fun experience.

Thanks again,

Ricardo and Hortensia Roa

Thank you for the very professional way that you set up and marketed our home. Your regular updates of information during the time of the listing was very helpful. Your availability at all times and willingness to be flexible gave us confidence that you also had our interest in mind. When we eventually received an acceptable offer, your knowledge and experience was extremely helpful to us in making decisions to complete the sale. We would certainly use or recommend your service in the future...Jim Langford

To Whom it May Concern:
Kim Ward was my realtor in selling my house a year ago. She also found me the condo I just bought.
Kim started the process of the sale of my Lakeside home with a complete restaging. She also advised me about work that needed to be done to make my house more appealing to buyers. She worked right by my side when it was time to scrape wall paper because she knew I hated the job. The downturn in the market made it take awhile to sell my home but in the end Kim negotiated a good price. She guided me through the whole process calmly and gently.
Kim found me the condo I just bought. She persistently worked on getting the sale through even though it took from April to November. It was a challenging situation, but she knew I really wanted to live in this location. She got me a very low price. She continues to follow up with me, helping with the remodeling work ahead.
Kim is an excellent realtor. She is persistent, smart, skilled and educated in all facets of the business. She has developed great strategies for staging, marketing, selling, loan programs and fixing up your home so it will be a cozy, lovely place to live.

Short Sale Testimonial

 

Thank you, Kim for assisting me with the sale of my house. I purchased it in 2005 and because of the market changes and personal circumstances, was unable to continue paying my mortgage.  You explained my options, to sell the property for less than the amount owed on it (short sale) or let it go to foreclosure. 

 

You found a qualified buyer for my property, contacted my lenders and negotiated their acceptance of over $125,000 less than the balance of my two mortgages.  Plus, I was able to stay in my home for over 45 days longer if I had decided to go to foreclosure.  You did a good job and you kept me informed of the process.

Absolutely loved the service.  I would have never ever found anyone as wonderful as you.  I will be more than enthused to brag about you.  We really feel bad that we had to put you and my uncle through so much work since I was hospitalized and confined to my house.  We can't thank you enough.

Thanks again,

Stephanie 

 

 

We are extremely pleased to have worked with Kim Ward on the sale of our home. This was not our first, or even second time selling a home, and it has been in stark contrast to anything we've experienced before.

 

The complete staging process surpassed our expectations and, I believe, really made the difference between selling and not. The marketing was excellent. In addition, we loved the personal attention and frequent follow up regarding viewer feedback. Matt and I never felt like we were "out of the loop" on any matters concerning the house.

 

We would, without question, highly recommend Kim to anyone interested in selling their home.

 

Sincerely,

Tamiko Houar
