Archives: Client

Andre and Deanne were being transferred to San Diego, CA from Jacksonville, NC. They were referred to Horizon Real Estate by their Jacksonville agent. Kim and Laura spoke with Andre on the phone and he told them what he wanted in a home and the price he could afford. Kim set them up with a client gateway and they received al the listings in their criteria and price range. Kim and Laura wrote many offers for them, properties site on seen. One of their offers was finally chosen and they got into the home they deserved.

It was absolutely wonderful working with Kim and Laura. They were able to find my husband and I a house, buy it, and move in within about 3 months time, start to finish! With their knowledge, persistence and all around know how got me the location I wanted, the house I wanted, and for less than I planned on paying. They are great to work with and from start to finish and they treat you like family, not like “another client” as so many of the big name firms do. To this day Kim and Laura still check to see how we are doing from time to time. I will definitely use Horizon Realty again when I buy my next house!

We would never have bought our San Diego home without Kim’s help. I can say that with 100% confidence.

When we bought our house, there was very little inventory on the market and the buyers were very aggressive. I lost count of the number of times we were outbid. We were even outbid on the home we eventually bought.

Long story short … the other buyer withdrew their offer and Kim Ward acted in record time with her expert negotiating skills to secure us the contract.

Our house is everything we wanted and we couldn’t be happier. I don’t doubt for a second that we would have missed our second opportunity to buy this specific home if we didn’t have Kim working with us.

I would highly recommend Kim Ward to anyone who needs assistance buying or selling a home. I had the pleasure of working with Kim on three different transactions. She helped me to find and purchase a condo in 2005, and then in 2012, I chose her as my agent to represent me for the sale of my condo and the purchase of my new house. Kim advised me on how to best stage my condo and within a week I had 3 solid offers to choose from. The purchase side of the transaction ended up being more challenging, as home inventories were low, and houses were selling quickly. I found Kim to be a good listener, who understood my needs and wants. She was patient and knowledgeable when responding to my many questions and was creative in coming up with solutions when problems presented themselves. She was also willing to be flexible and worked around my busy schedule. I found her assistant Laura to be very helpful and responsive as well. I would definitely recommend the Horizon Real Estate Team for any real estate transaction.

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.

We 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

If you need a good realtor who is knowledgeable, friendly, great personality, patient, kind, etc., etc. give Kim a call.

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 !!!!!

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!
