After their two sons flew the nest, Kim and her husband left the Midwest and came back home to the Charleston area in 2013.
"Reconnecting with family and friends has been wonderful. We love riding bikes on Sullivan's Island and boating out to Kiawah while making up for all the years we were gone".
Kim obtained her Realtors' license in 2014 and has done millions of dollars in Real Estate sales since.
"I love helping people meet their Real Estate needs. My favorite part is the relationships that develop from that first phone conversation. Getting to know my clients' stories often leads to a true friendship".
"I dive in and find out the customers 'Why'. I am a great listener and I'm really fun to house shop with!"
