“Heather was wonderful from start to finish! She was very knowledgeable of the area and competing properties. She set realistic goals including the price that she could sell the home for. She staged the property wonderfully to maximize it's appeal. She was very systematic and level headed in contract negotiations. Bottom line is, we were so pleased that she got this property sold in January for 96% of the list price! Thanks Heather!”

“Working with Kim was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, market expertise, and genuine care for my family's needs. My home needed several upgrades before listing, and Kim went above and beyond by helping me find reliable contractors and even helping manage the process to ensure everything was done on time and within budget. Thanks to her hard work, guidance, and excellent staging, my home received an offer on the very first day it was shown! Selling and moving can be intimidating, but Kim was like a fairy god-mother: always accessible and full of calming advice. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Kimberly Thurm.”
