James was introduced to Kim by his lender who was helping him to obtain a home loan.

James wanted a 2 bedroom condo in the Mission Valley area. He is now the proud homeowner of a beautiful condo in the centrally located River Colony complex!

Who do you know that could benefit from this type of help? Call Kim at 619.741.0111 and we can talk about how you can introduce us!

Hi Kim,

Just a quick note of thanks (sincere thanks) for your help with my father’s situation.

jim-boyleWe got the grand deeds signed and notarized on February 9th and everyone is relieved. Your kind and professional assistance is appreciated. If/when we come to sell this property, you will be our first call. Enjoy these oranges. They came from our backyard tree. A little small this season but still yummy.

Thanks again,

Jim Boyle

I am from MN and needed to settle my father-in-laws estate in CA. which meant selling his house. Kim was recommended by my Dad’s attorney and at the time I didn’t know what a God-send she would be. We talked on the phone many times from December until February when we got into CA to sell the home. I called her and she immediately came out to the house and I knew as soon as I saw her that she was the person who would sell the house. Oh, the “hug” I got from her really helped as I was so stressed and really needed that. She immediately felt like a friend as well as a realtor. We listed the house with her and had 5 offers within a week and with her help we decided on one offer and got the house sold. She was so helpful and patient with me when I asked all kinds of questions. She was always available when I called her with anything that I was unsure of. If you need a good realtor who is knowledgeable, friendly, great personality, patient, kind, etc., etc. give Kim a call. You won’t be sorry. Thanks Kim for all of your help. P.S. Her staff is also great – thanks to Laura too.

I met Kim when my aunt had passed away and we needed to sell her home. Having no idea what we were doing, it was great to have Kim come in and take over the job. She pointed out what would be worth fixing up and what we could leave as is. Having her crew come in to do its magic made everything much less stressful. From the first time we met I knew she would be there to walk me through everything. She treated me as a friend and was always open and honest about the whole process. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone selling a home, especially if its part of an estate. Thank you again for all your help Kim !!!!!

She treated me as a friend …

I met Kim through my estate attorney (I inherited 3 houses on one lot).

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 what an 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 Ward handle it for me.

P.S. I love my new home!

Susan Huntsinger says…I just wanted to tell you both how much I appreciate the jobs that you both do on a daily basis. I know how hard it is to be in customer service and you two are drowning in it, but you DO IT SO WELL.

I can’t imagine how many hours you put in trying to get us a SOLD sign, but you did it!

I am truly grateful and feel blessed to have a relationship with you two.

You Do Customer Service So Well

Jim needed to sell his home and it was going to be a short sale. He tried a few different agents and they couldn’t get the job done. He was referred to Kim by a friend and was very satisfied by the selling experience.

San Diego Short Sale Seller

BellaFrontKim Ward and Horizon Real Estate represented us in the sale of our Oceanside House in the Summer of 2009. This house was being sold as a result of a divorce. I live in Orange County, and my ex-wife lived in the house that was for sale. Kim and her office were very helpful, understanding, and professional throughout the entire process.

The house needed to be priced aggressively, and Kim was a great consultant in that department. The house also needed some minor to moderate repairs, new carpet, and a serious cleaning. Kim facilitated the repairs, the purchasing of the new carpet, and even helping my ex-wife get packed and ready to go. I don’t think this was the hardest of sales for Kim, but it sure wasn’t the easiest either. Lots of phone calls and ideas back and forth went into getting the home prepared for sale, and then listed.

Once the property was listed, we had a buyer within a few weeks. Kim handled all the paperwork, phone calls, offers, escrow questions (that she could answer) and more. She was extremely helpful and understanding.

In the end, Kim’s ethical, professional and compassionate demeanor made a difficult sale easier to handle. I would highly recommend her and her office for anyone’s San Diego County real estate needs.

Thank you Kim, and Horizon Real Estate! …

ZumbrotafrontMy situation was desperate and I didn’t know where to turn, what to do or how to do it. I had lost both my husband and my job in a matter of 3 months; left alone with my 13 yr. old son and a house both too big and too expensive to keep. As I was sharing my plight with an old friend, she mentioned to me that she new the perfect realtor to help me out. I had heard that one before, other people telling me they had the “perfect realtor” as well, but after a few phone conversations I didn’t get the sense that the realtor truly had my best interest at heart.

I called Kim Ward at Horizon and immediately felt comforted. She made an appointment to meet me at the house at my earliest convenience, not hers. She had pulled information for the area and patiently walked me through my options. Neither a short sale or foreclosure sounded good, but she clearly outlined the benefits and disadvantages to both. Additionally she connected me to a tax attorney who was also very helpful and supportive.

I elected to pursue the short sale option. Throughout the process Horizon was there to answer questions. They were supportive, patient, understanding and knowledgeable. I never doubted that they had my best interest at heart and certainly never felt like just another client; I felt like I had a partner and friend during this very difficult time in my life.

My house sold, I never had to speak to the bank or other agencies- Horizon handled everything. Throughout the process they were professional and dealt with potential buyers and their agents on my behalf without complaint.

I know who to call upon when I’m ready to find my next home! I would recommend Kim Ward and her company to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell a home. In such a tenuous, unsure and frightening time in my life who would have thought that my realtor would be the one providing a sense of security.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions regarding my experience, I would be happy to speak with you … Jennifer Mitchell
