"10 years ago Kim sold to us a very unusual property - a large living and studio/shop combination in a former warehouse, situated in a residential neighborhood. Recently we used her again, this time to sell it. The pricing was tricky, because there were no sensible comps from which to draw. Kim knew exactly how to price and market it in order attract the highest number of quality agents and buyers. She also knew how to negotiate with several of them in a way that resulted in a quick and very successful sale. Throughout the whole process, Kim was in constant communication with us, listening carefully to our ideas but also having her own point of view that drew from many years of successful experience as a top agent. She is kind, motivated, responsive, and thoroughly professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a great agent. "

brian & susanna, andersonville 2024

“Kim and her team continue to knock my socks off! I’ve been working with Kim for several years with amazing results. This time she got me an additional 16% above expectations on my rental income! If you’re seeing this, don’t go to anyone else!”

Derek, lake view 2023 

“Kim helped us get a great price selling our house in a tough market. She’s very experienced, and we could really rely on her advice. We got multiple offers right away! We would definitely work with her again”

Sami, Lincolnwood towers 2023

“I could not have been more satisfied working with Kim. She listened to what my needs were and suggested ways to accomplish my goals. She recommended cosmetic changes and also upgrading some of the spaces which were a match with my budget. Kim also referred a contractor to me who provided excellent results. She oversaw the upgrades, met deliveries and kept me informed every step of the way. In the end, she brought multiple, over-asking price offers within a week of going on market which were significantly higher than my expectations. Highly recommend!”

rodney, West bucktown 2023

“Kim exceeded all of our expectations in every aspect of the selling process, including, (i) establishing appropriate price points, (ii) insuring our home was always in “showroom” condition, (iii) scheduling showings, (iv) sharing timely feedback, and, ultimately, (v) negotiating a successful sale. She was a delight to work with and balanced in her approach to the many challenges associated with managing our concerns and expectations, as well as those of potential buyers.”

greg, lake view east 2022

‘We chose Kim as our realtor when we bought our house in 2007, and she was so great then that when it was time to sell, we did not even consider hiring anyone else. Every recommendation she had (changing light fixtures, painting, new carpet) was exactly on point. Because of what she recommended, not only did we go to market with a higher asking price than we originally thought we would, but we received three offers in three days, including two over asking price. If you want to have the most positive possible experience in buying or selling a home, trust Kim!”

frank, evanston 2022

“Kim helped me buy my 1st home, and when I was ready to sell it nearly 17 years later, she was the only one I considered listing with. She understands the market so well, and knows how to price and when to negotiate. She is very communicative and explains everything clearly. I look forward to working with her again and would recommend Kim to anyone looking to buy and/or sell!”

jennifer, margate park 2021

“kim is MAgic! i went from sitting on the market for a year with no real offers, and letting my listing expire with a previous broker, to receiving multiple offers over list price in less than a week with kim. I ultimately sold for 11% above list price. she’s amazing. she brought a fresh perspective with some great ideas. i can’t thank her enough, and look forward to working with her again in the future.

derek, east lakeview/ victorian lane 2018

“I was lucky enough to be able to work with Kim as a buyer in '09 as well as a seller this year! I couldn't have asked for a better experience either time. My condo was under contract in less than a week and I was able to rest assured knowing that everything was being taken care of. Kim's professionalism, communication, flexibility, and knowledge about Chicago's market is second-to-none, and I would recommend her to anyone seeing to make a move.”

Sarah, rogers park 2023

“Let's begin with the full disclosure. Kim's brother was a classmate of mine from 1962-1970. I've literally known Kim since she was a toddler. So, while it was natural for me to ask Kim to assist with the sale of my deceased mother's condo on Lake Shore Drive and Walton, the thing is I don't feel her exemplary care and dedication to a very difficult property to sell, at a very difficult time, had anything to do with our longstanding friendship. I received what everybody else receives with Kim, excellence from beginning to end. Plus, she has a "secret agent" who, if needed, will help you with your move into or out of a living space. This, alone, was worth her commission. In Kim's bio, she references her beginnings in real estate. I remember her mother's project, and our discussions about same, quite well and the extreme challenges with which her mother was confronted. It was an immensely tough place to start, but a great place to start if one wants to learn how to prevail against very powerful opposing forces”

jim, gold coast, 2022

“Kim is a real estate rock star! She moved us through the steps to get our house prepared for sale with patience and expertise, and made fantastic recommendations as to what needed to be done to stage things. Once accomplished, she tapped her network and sold our house during the "pocket listing" period, saving us time and money, and we are delighted. She is smart, funny, patient and knowledgeable. We highly recommend her!”

kitty, lincoln park 2022

“Fantastic end to end. Kept us informed, proactive, thoughtful and a solid grasp on the market.”

david, lincoln park 2022

“Kim was very knowledgeable in all areas concerning the Chicago market. She gave me invaluable advice on practical renovations to make to my condo to appeal to buyers in Lincoln Park. She went above and beyond in helping develop creative solutions to dealing with an unresponsive Management Company and HOA Board. She demonstrated impressive patience and professionalism indicative of strong leadership skills. I strongly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a real estate professional that will provide value for money in the Chicago Area.”

Tim, lincoln park 2022

“She helped me purchase and sell my condo in the Lakeview area. She’s extremely knowledgeable on the history of each neighborhood and many of the buildings in Chicago. She got me a full ask offer on my condo and was quick with her communications throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!”

Lenny, Lake view 2021

“Thank you so much for not just handling the sale of 2300 Commonwealth #2E, but for knocking it out the park like the Rock Star that you are!!

I had no doubt you were the best person to call to help Mary. I am SO incredibly honored and grateful that you were willing to take on what proved to be a bit more of a challenging situation and at such a low price point!

The unit looked fantastic in photos! The Staging was super sweet! And but of course you sold her in 7 days at full price! Truly, you are the best. And the fact that you are such a kind and lovely human on top of it all just makes me so proud to know you.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart and thank you for the referral fee which is very much appreciated.

I hope to be able to refer something to you again soon, and I hope to actually SEE you someday soon too!

And if you ever need help with a client in MI I hope you’ll give me a call ;)

Cheers!

-Jen” Lincoln park 2022

“you sent the single greatest information packet i have ever received in 20 years as an appraiser. you should teach a class on it”

js, appraiser

“Kim Kerbis is a very experienced real estate agent with a fantastic eye for details and a keen sense of the Chicago market.

We have worked with Kim to sell a condo and a house. In both cases, we had offers within a week. She has a unique ability to generate demand for your property through marketing savvy and an informed assessment of your home's value.

We would be happy to work with Kim again!”

bridget, andersonville 2021

"kim continues to be fantastic, and exceed my expectations! we've worked on several transactions together, and i simply cannot imagine working with anyone else. this particular transaction was to help me purchase my second investment property. after providing my criteria, she skillfully narrowed down the options to only show me properties that would work as a long-term investor. she gave me honest feedback, and we ultimately found a gem. that was only the beginning of this transaction. she was an absolute expert throughout the negotiation process as if she had a crystal ball. she told me it would be a lengthy negotiation process, but thought we'd be able to get it done at the right price. it's almost laughable how accurate she was on several points of the negotiation. on top of that, she was able to rent it for more than originally anticipated increasing my monthly cash flow by ~40% above expected! i cannot recommend her highly enough! if you're reading this review, you need look no further."

derek, lake view 2021

“kim is a great broker. she is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure that her clients understand the process every step of the way. she kept me informed regularly and answered all of my questions. kim also helped me with coordinating with a lawyer and the banker for a mortgage. she is always very pleasant and made me feel like i was her only client even though i knew she had others depending on her. i’m so glad she was my broker.'“

“thank you so much for all your help with my condo purchase. you kept me informed of every step and cheerfully answered all of my questions...i'm glad that i followed valerie & nick's advice to have you be my realtor!”

mary jo, logan square 2021

“my partner and i think the world of kim kerbis and we will have listed two properties with her in 2021. our edgewater home was under contract in less than a week and sold above list price. kim was on top of all aspects of the process with us, and i also had the sense that she interacted smoothly and responsively with the buyers and their agent along with the various parties they brought into the mix. kim has a sixth sense about pricing to maximize return and, wow, the photographs she commissioned for the property gave me some regrets about selling (almost). kim is a real pro. our high rise condo will go on the market with kim in about a month from now.”

mike, edgewater 2021

“Kim is an incredible agent to work with. I called her as a new client on a Thursday evening and she had my condo rented out by Monday. I appreciate the market research she does before offering advice, how she uses her network to follow leads, and she is extremely responsive. Kim is very engaging and made me feel she cares about who her client is. Highly recommend partnering with Kim on your property!”

-katie, old town 2021

work with kim - she's not only the best in the business, she's incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, kind and helpful. i could not have made this major life transition without her guidance and friendship (full disclosure: we've known each other since college and i still consider her a dear friend).

sandra, logan square and lake shore east 2021

“kim is wonderful to work with! we bought and sold our house with her as our realtor and couldn't be more pleased. she and her assistant went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. my fiancée and i would absolutely recommend her to anyone in the area looking to buy or sell!”

ashley, east lakeview 2018

“kim is the best! i have worked with kim on multiple transactions and she is amazing to work with. it is not possible to recommend her more highly - she is simply the best.”

scott, east lakeview 2018

“Great job developing a sales strategy and successfully executing for a faster than average sales above the asking price. I was impressed with Kim's work nearly ten years earlier when I purchased he property. She was the representative for the seller, but I kept her card because I knew I would use her as my agent if I ever sold the property.”

-d. mullen, uptown 2018

“Kim helped us find our perfect house, and it really took some work. She arranged an initial "get to know you" meeting that surfaced all of our needs and wants. As we learned more about the city neighborhoods and sub-markets, Kim helped us refine our search. We were picky buyers and we insisted on making a great deal. Kim was patient throughout the process and, in the end, helped us find, negotiate and close on our dream house. She's the best and I would recommend her to anyone.”

-c. jacobs, bucktown 2018

"Kim and her team were fantastic from start to finish.  We were selling a rental property, and Kim made the process as easy as possible.  She take a hands on approach and provides as much guidance as you are looking for.  Most importantly, she knows the market and absolutely nailed the right asking price.  We closed at over 99% of asking price.  Fantastic job start to finish, including leading the decision making process on upgrades/repairs, staging, and pricing while also "thinking like the owner" to come up with the most cost-efficient solutions during the marketing phase."

-charlie k., uptown 2017

“Words can not adequately express how grateful we are to all of you for your expert guidance through this process. We feel so lucky to have had you all on our side!”

-k. gentile, 2018

"Kim is awesome! I am so glad that a real estate agent friend of mine here in Florida introduced us to her via email. I had no clue about Chicago real estate or even who to contact. We are now the proud owners of a beautiful apartment that she helped us find, negotiate and close on! Kim's knowledge about Chicago and real estate is far and above what I would expect an agent to know."

-raya e. - lincoln square 2017

"How lucky we were to find Kim! There are not enough adjectives to describe how totally perfect a fit she was for us. She listened to what we needed and spent an enormous amount of time finding us the perfect apartment to buy. It was especially important for us that Kim do so much legwork in advance because I am an out of town buyer. I cannot thank Kim enough for her expertise, compassion, advice and shoe leather! "

-ellen e., lincoln square 2017

"Kim was able to clearly articulate the subtle, unique aspects of our condo and our neighborhood, giving us great confidence in her ability to sell our home to the right buyer at an optimal price. The go-to-market tactics she prescribed for our sale were absolutely perfect, resulting in multiple offers above listing price by the end of the first weekend."

-derek s., lakeview 2017

"Kim Kerbis is a wonderful and committed agent and I was 100% happy with the selling process and the sale price on my home! Everything was handled extremely professional and she made my property look it's best."

-ellen c., old irving park 2017

"Kim did a fantastic job. She really knows the market and her pricing strategy brought 4 offers in above list price within 2 days. My condo ultimately sold for a higher price than other recent sales of identical units. Her team made recommendations for paint and repairs, they coordinated with the staging company and basically took care of everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

-joe f., wrigleyville 2017

"I can unreservedly recommend Kim Kerbis. She is professional, experienced, understanding, and attuned to the market. Thanks to her photos and advance prep we had multiple offers over the asking price the first weekend on our condo - one which we bought with (her) four years earlier." 

-wendy l., east lakeview 2017

"Kim was great.  A consummate real estate professional from start to finish.  I highly recommend Kim."

-david s., magnolia glen 2017

"Kim did a fantastic job for us. We had multiple offers within days of going on the market, sold at above list price and closed within about a month! In addition, she gave us great advice about how to prepare and stage our condo to maximize its potential and she represented the property and neighborhood beautifully to interested parties. On top of that, we received reports on all open houses and appointments with feedback from potential buyers and agents -- practically all in real time! Kim's experience and knowledge really shines through and you can tell she's personally invested in you, your property, and the sale. Really appreciated her willingness to be open and honest with her opinion, too! We couldn't be happier and we'd recommend Kim to anyone looking to sell their home!"

-clark b., lincoln square 2017

"Kim knows how to sell a home! She is amazing at covering all the bases and guiding you through the process. Kim is a true veteran in the industry. We listened to her suggestions and stuck closely to her process with an outcome of success. Bottom line, if you want to get your home sold, Kim will get it done."

-chris j., lincoln square 2017

"Kim is our family's go-to realtor. She understands this is an important decision and will give you all the information you need to be informed. Kim is your advocate, she wants you to get what you want for the right price - buying or selling. And, she celebrates with you when the sale is complete. Buying or selling a home isn't always HGTV perfect, but Kim makes the process smooth."

-lisa s., old irving park 2016

"Knowledgeable and focused. Just what we needed."

-tama d., streeterville 2016

"Kim was fabulous. A real pro who knows the Chicago market very well. We really couldn't have gotten through this process without you and we're so happy with the new apartment!" 

-charlie f., lincoln park 2016

"Kim is a consumate professional.  She knows the market, is deft at handling her clients, a solid negotiator and she has a keen design eye."

-daniel m., wicker park 2016

"Kim and her team were incredible in helping us to get our place sold FAST!  She was honest and helped us craft a strategy that had us under contract within 5 days of listing and closed 6 weeks later.  She has a great list of vendors, contractors, etc... that we were able to work with to make our place look amazing. Kim and her team were very responsive to our questions throughout the whole process.  She will get your place sold if you listen to her advice."

-doug f., uptown 2016

"Kim has been an absolute pleasure to work with. As a first time homebuyer, she was extremely informative and helpful to have on my side. I would definitely recommend Kim to family and friends, and look forward to working with her in the future." 

-kelley d., logan square 2016

"Kim comes VERY highly recommended by us! We had been trying to sell our condo off and on for about 6 years and we were at the point of desperation. Thank God, Kim was recommended to us from another realtor we greatly respected. After unsuccessfully trying to sell our place for 6 years as previously mentioned, Kim helped us sell it in less than 30 days! And not only was she able to sell it, she even somehow RAISED the asking price $10K, which at the time seemed impossible and even crazy. She and her assistant Ashley were so professional and thorough - communicating with us throughout every step of the process. I couldn't believe how on top of everything they were, as well as so responsive. I would hands down recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their condo. AND she's also really easy to work with. Very laid back and calm demeanor, which worked out perfectly for us."

- Jamie t., lincoln square 2016

-ashley b., bucktown 2016

"kim's counsel during the property search and purchase/sale process has proven to be invaluable.  this was my fourth time working with kim and i have recommended her to several colleagues because she is an unparalleled professional.  kim is fantastic.  there really isn't any more to say about it.  she is the standard by which i judge all real estate professionals" 

-scott d., lakeview 2015

"we highly recommend working with kim kerbis. she was the consummate professional. she made not only the sale of our home, but the care and keep of our home during showings, an utmost priority at all times. she was always available, always professional, very knowledgable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. trying to sell our home in chicago while living out of state posed additional challenges, necessitating additional skill sets which many brokers can not handle, and kim made it a seamless process. she handled everything we needed to get done, and we trusted her completely. we would absolutely work with her again. thanks kim!"

-p., bucktown 2015

"kim was great. she spent alot of time going through all the details of everything we should know about the sale. she always made herself available to myself and my spouse. we would definitely recommend to use her as your broker."

-tim and stefanie w., logan square 2015

"kim has been excellent and very thorough with her work. she is very well organized and well recognized for her work among housing inspector to lawyers and everyone involved in the process. we did not have to worry much through our closing process. this is the second time we have worked with kim and i will not bat a eyelid to recommend her services to others."

-colin g., lincoln square 2014

"it's enough to say that i had a unique set of circumstances in terms of selling my home. kim was a consummate professional and helped support me through every step of the process. she provided a level of attention and consideration that went beyond expectation. i would recommend kim to anyone who is looking for someone who not only can deliver on selling your home, but will provide the kind of exceptional care that makes her standout from the rest."

-heidi v., evanston 2014

"kim kerbis is the consummate pro in the chicago real estate market. selling your first home is a personal and challenging experience, but kim gave us great advice and made it as smooth as possible. along the way she guided us through the details of the process and helped us get the best deal. if we ever need to buy or sell a house again, kim will be at our side. in the meantime, we will recommend her to every friend we have."

-lisa and brad c., lakeview 2014

"kim's extensive experience and knowledge in real estate market/industry, professionalism, patience, and friendliness made my search for investment property an enjoyable and rewarding experience. i couldn't have asked more from a real estate partner!  thanks kim."

-tim h., andersonville 2013

"kim was invaluable helping me sell my condo. i've never been through the process of selling a residence before and she walked me through it step by step. she was extremely thorough and made sure every detail was covered. all of the planned showings and open house activities were very professional and the marketing process was impeccable. both feedback/reviews from the showings as well as a regular report on progress were both very helpful. she is certainly one of the main reasons we were able to finalize a sale in only two weeks. i would highly recommend her as an agent to anyone who is buying or selling."

-darren b., evanston 2013

"kim was great at understanding what i was looking for and identifying properties that would meet my needs. she steered me away from properties that she thought would not be a good fit.  she also did a nice job of helping me navigate the negotiating process.  she was very professional from beginning to end and i would use her again."

-kai p., bucktown 2013

"kim kerbis is a very hard worker and knows how to sell property in a very challenging market. from my very first interactions with her, she showed the kind of knowledge and expertise that made me confident that she would do the great job she ultimately did- that is, she sold my property in less than two months. i greatly appreciate her dedication and attentiveness."

-mark c., andersonville 2013

"absolutely the best broker I've ever encountered! kim was extremely professional, diligent and insightful to our needs to finding our home."

-susan and morrey, east lakeview 2013

"thank you for everything, but especially for your consummate professionalism, knowledge and patience during the process.  we are most grateful."

-priscilla and barry, lakeview 2012

"the broker was a great asset, assisting in evaluation of the house, provided excellent suggestions in preparing the house and leading me through the sale process. always professional, efficient and ready to help. The best."

-rod c., peterson park 2012

"i thought kim was amazing! she was super knowledgeable and very patient with me given that this was my first purchase. she made herself available all the time and was always prompt to respond to random texts and emails I shot her way. she made everything very easy to understand and stayed with me every step of the way. she's a wonderful, caring person and you can really tell that she enjoys what she does. i will definitely recommend her to anyone that i know that is in need of a realtor! i was very very impressed."

-ashley b., bucktown 2012

"buying a first house is very scary for a lot of people. kim gave us the confidence we needed to make decisions, and did so without making the decisions for us, which was really important. she was also excellent at providing guidance through every step of the process, including having first-rate professional contacts (attorney, inspector, contractor) which made the other steps of buying smooth as well. we got the house we wanted, and not only are we happy with the result, we're happy with how we reached the result as well. we can't recommend her highly enough."

-phil h., jefferson park 2011

"when I first met kim, i was impressed by her market knowledge, her understanding of my needs, and her professionalism. in working with her again, i am certain that i could not have worked with anyone else who would have made the experience so easy, nor would I have gotten the peace of mind about the purchase. kim is an exemplary agent, and a truly exceptional person. It is not possible to recommend anyone more highly than i can recommend kim."

-scott d., lakeview 2011

"as first time home buyers we found kim's professionalism refreshing and quite welcome during a fast paced, overwhelming process. @properties is a modern, high tech real estate company. kim's strength is using the technology as tools but remembering that the real service comes from the personal relationship and attention to clients' spoken and unspoken needs and wants. from the first meeting through closing she was able to create a trust with us that was incredibly important. it gave us confidence that she was handling our business and that we would find our new home. we enjoyed working with kim and would heartily recommend her services to everyone."

 -lesley j. and glynnis h., forest park 2009

"my agent, kim kerbis, was outstanding and i will highly recommend her to all of my friends and business colleagues. she was extremely professional, listened carefully to my wants and needs, and made herself available to me whenever. i liked that she started the entire process by taking the time to sit down with me to discuss the type of home i was looking for and the home-buying process in chicago. this was especially helpful as i was a first time buyer.  i will definitely use kim again in the future when buying or selling real estate!"
