Kim was wonderful to work with. She sold our home with professionalism, clear communication, and great attention to detail. Her pricing strategy was excellent, she helped us list at the right number to attract strong interest and get a great result. Since we were moving out of state, she also coordinated all the dates and processes perfectly, which made everything so much easier. We’re very grateful for her support and highly recommend her.
Buying our first home came with plenty of highs and lows, and I'm so grateful we had Kim in our corner through all of it! What I appreciated most was how honest she was. She always gave us her genuine opinion, even when it wasn't necessarily what we wanted to hear. My favorite thing about working with her was that she kept it real. At no point did we ever feel like she was trying to sell us on a house just to get a deal done. She was focused on helping us make the right decision, and that honesty gave us so much confidence throughout the process. Kim also went above and beyond from start to finish. She was always available to answer questions, talk through decisions, and keep us moving forward when things felt discouraging. Even after closing, she's continued to be a great resource whenever we've had questions about the house or homeownership. On top of all that, she's just incredibly down-to-earth and fun to be around. Somehow she made a process that can be incredibly stressful genuinely enjoyable. As much as we absolutely love our new home, we'll actually miss spending our weekends walking through open houses with Kim!! If you're looking for someone who's knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and truly has your best interests in mind, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
If you need a real estate agent who will fight for you no matter the situation, Kim is your person. She's a bulldog with a keen sense of right and wrong. Kim won't tolerate even a hint of bullshit or back down from any obstacle that gets in the way of her client's needs. She knows everyone in the area and is an expert in the ins and outs of the local market. I bought a house from her in 2017 and she helped me sell a place this year. As long as I live in the area and need an agent, I'll be as loyal to her as she has been to me.
Having worked with Kim Funari for over a decade one of the things I value most is that Kim won’t tell you what you want to hear she will tell you what you need to hear. Whether you’re buying, selling or executing both transactions, you need a pragmatic steady focused partner to navigate the deal. Buying & selling real estate comes with a myriad of challenges and logistics that succeed with proper assessment, and planning an execution strategy with the dexterity to adapt when needed. I have had Kim handle quite a few real estate transaction for me, some very challenging, and for every one Kim’s diligence, focus and shear tenacity in achieving the best results were as if it was her own. When you add it all up there are quite a few steps that need to get done when buying or selling real estate, Kim just doesn’t get them done, she gets them done right and on time. There are lots of things to worry about when buying or selling real estate, so when I am buying or selling real estate there’s no question who I call, I call Kim Funari because I want to do the deal and I don’t want to worry.
Kim is exceptional at what she does. She is knowledgeable, confident, resourceful, and an excellent (and ever-available) communicator. As first time home buyers, we felt so supported and prepared as Kim was always one step ahead; setting us up for success from start to finish. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you, Kim!
