Kimone Oruga

Working with Kimone was a wonderful experience. She is extremely professional, highly knowledgeable, and always quick to respond to texts and emails whenever I had a question. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great real estate agent.

Working with Kimone was one of the best experiences I've had — full stop. This wasn't just a real estate transaction. It felt like partnering with someone who truly cared about getting me into the right home, on the right terms, in the right way.

I came to Kimone with a very specific list of what I wanted in a home. And somehow, she found the one house that checked every single box. It was almost uncanny — she listened, she understood, and she delivered.

From there, she was in a class of her own. She negotiated a $25,000 seller closing-cost contribution — something she pointed out is typical of new construction, not resale — and then walked me through, in plain English, how to use that credit to buy down my rate and cover closing costs. She modeled the difference in monthly payment so I could actually see the math. When I wanted to push back on price, she gave me a straight answer instead of just telling me what I wanted to hear. That kind of honest counsel is priceless.

After we went under contract, she was relentless. We had a lot going on — a septic issue, a chimney concern, roof questions, a suspected gas leak, sewer scope, pool inspection, termite report, a bump-out permit question — and she coordinated every one of it, chased down every contractor invoice, and kept the seller accountable for the repairs they committed to. When the sewer inspector had an unexpected opening and could come out early, Kimone was on the phone immediately trying to move things around so I wouldn't miss the window.

And then the hard part — we switched lenders mid-process and still closed in under 30 days. Sydney ordered a rapid rescore, Amex came through on a statement I needed, my lender needed a redo of a letter that didn't arrive on time, and Kimone stayed calm and steady through all of it, checking in on underwriting, following up with my lender directly, and pushing the file forward without ever pushing me around. She kept me in the loop at every single step. I always knew where things stood, because she told me — often before I even had to ask.

What surprised me most was how much I learned along the way. Kimone clearly has a deep wealth of knowledge and experience, and she shares it generously. She explained things about DeKalb County, contract terms, inspection findings, and lender mechanics that I didn't know I needed to understand. I walked out of this process as a genuinely smarter buyer — and I know that's because of her.

On top of all that, she's just a wonderful human. Warm, funny, quick to laugh, and someone who treats you like a friend rather than a client. By closing, I was inviting her to my annual Christmas party.

If you want an agent who listens to what you actually want, negotiates hard on your behalf, communicates constantly, and gets a deal across the finish line no matter what curveballs get thrown — hire Kimone. I could not recommend her more highly.

I simply could not have gotten a better agent than Kimone. She found the house I wanted and I closed and moved in within a month. She responded quickly, day and night. She drove all around town and gave us her honest assessment of the properties we viewed. If you are looking to buy or sell, she is the person you need to contact immediately.

Kimone was very efficient during my home buying process. She explained everything every step of the way and was very thorough. I trusted her with the process because she made me feel like family. If I didn’t understand something she made sure it was clarified for me.

First time home buyer! It's a scary process, but Kimone was an amazing guide. She was patient during the home search process, and responsive during the making of the offer. I made made offers on three different houses (because I got outbid on the first two), and she helped me get through the highs and lows of the process . Most importantly, she was so helpful to me even AFTER the purchase! When I had problems with the house, Kimone hooked me up with the right people to fix the issues and even reminded me six months after the deal ended to sign up for the homestead exemption for property taxes. Kimone is AMAZING AMZING AMZING, and I will work with her next time I buy/sell a home. She will be my realtor for life.
