Justin and Kim were amazing and supportive during my time working with them to purchase my first home. Having two people to work with is incredibly helpful and makes things more flexible for a busy schedule. Justin was willing to take me to see homes during evening hours throughout the week to accommodate my schedule, and Kim was always in the loop and focused on my needs as well. Justin and Kim were both honest with me about what was realistic, and worked quickly to put offers in on houses to give me a better chance of beating out other offers. Working with Justin and Kim was a delight, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!
Kim and Justin are extremely conscientious and client-centered. They take the time to know your needs, point out details you may have missed, and are your advocates and confidantes every step of the way. We highly recommend Kim and Justin.
We bought our current house with Kim five years ago. Kim made the entire process easy for us from placing our offer to signing the papers. She was also extremely patient with us, as we searched for the perfect house (which took over a year). We later sold our second home with Kim, three years later. Kim did a great job in listing the home and after our first offer fell through, we were able to get an additional offer that turned out to be better than the first. Kim is truly a professional and someone who I completely trust to have our best interest at heart.
As a first-time home buyer it was very important for me to find experienced agent(s) that I could trust, and that were willing to put in the extra time to walk me through the home-buying process. After meeting with Kim for the first time I knew she was the perfect agent for me to work with. Kim has it all - communications skills, experience, personality, and drive. Most importantly, when I needed to draw on her experience to make decisions, she had candid and non-biased recommendations in my best interest that really provided the clarity I needed to make good choices. I was very impressed with how smoothly my first home purchase went - with Kim & Justin my very first offer was accepted! Justin was equally great to work with, was very knowledgeable, and I appreciated his attention to detail during my home inspection. I would recommend both Kim and Justin to any of my family and friends and will be calling on them for my real estate transactions going forward!
Kim was an absolute pleasure to work with on our relocation from MI to CA. We knew nothing about the greater Sacramento area and she helped us determine the best place for us to live. We have been in our house for 4 months now and have loved everything about the house, neighborhood, and city we chose. She has a great sense of design and has helped us envision what we could do to transform our new place into our own creative masterpiece. Kim is highly knowledgeable regarding the real estate market in the West Sacramento, Davis, and Woodland areas, and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you for making our cross country move so easy Kim!
Kim and Justin helped us place offers on a number of houses, find and buy a house that is an excellent fit for us, and then sell our prior house in Davis. Throughout the process I found Kim to be an expert adviser in terms of what to bid and when, how the flow of the negotiation would go, what to bid to get to the next level, and what it would take to win. She helped guide not just the mechanics, but also the emotions behind bidding on a house--she knew exactly when to recommend as an expert, and when to just lay out options. Her pricing and presenting strategy for the house we sold was excellent! Justin helped smooth all the transactions and workflows with both houses so the sales processes were highly efficient. They are a great team.
Kim and Justin Merrell Lamb helped me both buy and sell a home recently. What I appreciated most about them is the Truth. That is, they are always straightforward, never telling me just what I wanted to hear because I wanted to hear it, but instead providing sound advice and counsel on both the buyer and seller sides of a deal. Secondly, their approach made what is a challenging process by nature as smooth as it could be. They are experts in the process, always proactive and communicative, and always in a friendly, real-person way. They also are well-connected and know just whom to contact for anything that comes up. I'd recommend Kim and Justin to my best friends, and do.
Kim is amazing! She quickly took the reigns after we moved to our new home and had our old house repaired, cleaned, and staged in a matter of days. She was cautious with our budget and made the best possible use of the money we had. She knows the market well and priced the house right. We had 3 offers in 3 days and closing happened just one month after listing. I cannot recommend Kim more highly, especially if you are looking for an agent willing to work hard to get your house in tip-top shape for sale.

Kim was amazing for my short sale, which was also my first real estate purchase. She's knowledgeable, friendly, and diligent-I always felt like she was keeping me informed and educated during every step of the process. I've heard short sales can be a slog, but I never felt like that during mine. I heartily recommend her!
Kim is amazing! She sold our house and helped us find a new one in no time set all. She paid great attention to our needs and successfully managed the many details of both transactions without a hitch. We highly recommend her!
Great from start to finish! Kim was an excellent agent and was always available day and night. She was very open and honest about he listings we saw together. I would highly recommend her as an agent!
Kim's experience speaks for itself. She is extremely knowledgeable, understands the market and current conditions, knows all the contacts (i.e. can get you into a house before it goes to market) and most importantly, is set on finding you the RIGHT home, not any old home. Upon meeting Kim, we were clear on what we were looking for. We felt no pressure to bid on homes which were not of interest to us. In fact, there were a couple homes we considered (after looking for a few months), but the location was not ideal (this was not entirely obvious to us). When I asked about these homes, Kim would kindly express here opinion and say that she does not recommend bidding on those houses. She actually talked us out of bidding on homes that we would have clearly not been happy in! As an added bonus, Kim has a previous background in interior design and has a wonderful aesthetic. We have already walked the home a couple times with her AND she has provided excellent insight on everything from interior wall colors, to a kitchen remodel, to landscaping, to floor and counter materials. I would highly recommend Kim as we will continue to use here in the future.
I am new to the area and very eager to find a place that fit my lifestyle and needs. Kim is intuitive and listened to my concerns and identified the ideal property. I am pleased with my purchase and she was also able to connect me with contractors and other vendors for related needs for my relocation. This was valuable because I am unfamiliar with the area and it saved me time and money and headaches. I am sure you will enjoy your house hunting experience with Kim.
Kim was great. Kept me informed all the way until final close of escrow. Worked hard and stimulated a lot of action of this property in a very slow period...just before the upturn. Kim is a delightful person, as well as very professional. She is well organized and was always available to answer my questions and phone calls.Thank you Kim.NRM
Kim has an abundant supply of integrity, passion and skill. She also projects a calm appreciated by us as we were also in the midst of purchasing another home, downsizing and moving many miles away from a community we love.
Kim was absolutely fabulous to work with, hands-down. She was honest and professional yet fun too and we enjoyed her company. She provided her professional opinion, laid out the pros and cons of various decisions we had to make, made herself available around our schedule, and went above and beyond in answering our questions and just supporting us through our entire selling and buying process. Since moving in she has checked in on us to make sure everything is working out. We cannot say enough good things about Kim and would, and already have, recommend her to family and friends.
Kim helped my boyfriend and I choose a house that is perfect for us. She was completely honest through the entire process and made sure we didn't dive into anything that we weren't ready for. She was great!
Kim made the home buying process stress free! She is very knowledgeable, professional, and has excellent customer service. Kim kept me well informed during the entire home buying process from start to finish. I received my keys last week and I'm very excited to finally say that I'm a homeowner. I looked for houses in the past with other realtors and I can honestly say that Kim is a leader and expert in the field. Kim customized her service to meet my needs and assist me get the home of my dreams. Kim is by far one of the BEST realtors in town.
Working with Kim Merrell Lamb was wonderful. We had originally planned on interviewing several realtors, but after meeting Kim, I canceled the rest. Kim is an excellent realtor, an advocate, and a calming presence when things get tough. I believe it is the tough times that show true colors and demonstrate just how good a realtor really is... We bought a home in Davis during a market "frenzy" as the interest rates began to climb and home inventories were incredibly low. Homes were selling for over asking price, and multiple, extremely competitive bids were submitted by eager buyers in Davis. Kim was calm and encouraging, writing a clean and appealing offer. Our offer was one of 6 offers submitted and was the offer selected! Kim quickly arranged all our inspections (and attended them!) and kept us on track for a quick escrow. Now for the part that went wrong...Our loan was underwriter approved but an error on the lender's part almost resulted in us losing the loan (and our home!). Kim was incredibly calm, picking us up and dusting us off while quickly (and miraculously) arranging for another lender to step in on the home stretch. Although the original lender returned to us with an apology and correction, the second-- super kind and awesome lender (Jen Barth-Vitek) and Kim offered hope when we hit bottom. I believe this is most important when selecting a realtor (and lender).... Will they be there when things go wrong? The process can get confusing quickly if unexpected things go wrong and having an experienced advocate is priceless. Kim's words of wisdom, advocacy, and quick actions as well as her constant communication were incredible to us. Two days after moving into our amazing, new home, I am finding I already miss communicating throughout the days with Kim! Oh and a realtor's reputation DOES matter. Kim "plays well in the sandbox" with the real estate community. This is important in so many ways. Everyone we interacted with had words of praise for her. Consider the importance of this in a multiple offer situation or quick turn around deadlines with contractors. The community of Davis likes working with Kim! Kim gave us advice when we needed it, space when we wanted it, and respect at every step of the way. My expectations were high and Kim met them with ease. Thank you Kim - it was an amazing journey!(I know this is a really long review, but this is the type of information I was looking for prior to selecting a realtor - plus valuable info I learned along the way.)
Kim took the time to find out what my needs were and then researched homes that met my criteria in terms of space, location and price. I was looking for a home in midtown that would provide my daughter a home, and also be an investment. She met with my daughter (I'm out of state) at times convenient for my daughter, even giving my daughter a ride back to her office so she wouldn't have to bus back. She responded to any questions or concerns promptly either by phone or email, and immediately sent out any listings which met our needs.She was not only professional, and obviously very familiar with the Sacramento market, but extremely personable, likeable, even charming. My daughter felt immediately at ease and in good hands with Kim. Plus Kim was able to provide me with the names and contact info of experienced mortgage professionals.Unfortunately, due to some changes in my personal circumstances, I had to put the purchase of a property in Midtown on hold, but if/when I'm ready to look again, I would not hesitate to contact Kim.
We had very good experience with Kim Merrell Lamb. As a first time homebuyer we did have any knowledge about the process. However because of her expertise everythings was smooth. She is a great agent.
We relocated here from the San Diego area. Kim kept in constant contact with us by sending us listings that might suit our needs. On our first trip up here, she efficiently showed us 4-5 houses and we made an on offer on one that same day. She diligently persevered with us even when the going got tough. When that sale fell through (due to issues with the sellers, NOT Kim), she quickly found us another house and was able to negotiate a phenomenal price. Thanks to Kim's expertise, this sale went very smoothly and we have successfully relocated to Woodland.Kim is professional, knowledgeable, an absolute pleasure to work with. We not only gained a valued realtor, but a friend as well. We highly recommend her!
I've worked with Kim twice now--the first time she sold my house in Davis, CA when we were in the real estate boom. This second time, she helped me sell my home during a time when the market was at the very opposite side of the spectrum. I moved to another state for a new job and had to short sell my home-- she knew exactly what to do, and helped make the process as painless as possible. Kim is always on top of it-- and is extremely responsive and caring. Whenever a question came up, she was there with a quick answer. She's not just a great realtor who works hard to make the selling process as smooth as possible, she's also just a terrific person. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an amazing agent!
As first time home buyers my wife and I weren't really sure how to begin the home buying process, Kim was recommended to us from some friends who had recently worked with Kim and from our first meeting with her we felt extremely comfortable going into this process. Kim is very professional but from the first time you meet her you get the feeling that you've known her forever. We got the feeling immediately that she was there to help us find what we wanted; Kim took the time to talk with my wife and I to learn what we were looking for in a house, budget, location, etc. and then did an excellent job finding homes that fit our needs. We were fortunate enough to find a home we loved very quickly and even though Kim was across the country on vacation at the time she was more than willing to begin our negotiation process. She was very quick to communicate with us and we were able to enter a contract with in a day or so! After entering contract with the sellers Kim handled the entire process with great punctuality and professionalism; she set up all of our home inspections and was there first hand for every one of them as well. She was realistic with us with our requests and guided us along through out the entire process. Needless to say I would highly recommend working with Kim if you are looking for a real estate agent. She is very knowledgeable, has many contacts in the industry and is an absolute pleasure to work with. We would never hesitate to recommended Kim to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Kim Merrell is both a professional and a joy to work with. When it was time to put our house on the market, it was a no-brainer to list it with Kim; we didnt consider listing it with anyone else. She had been the selling agent when we purchased the house in 2006 and we were impressed at that time. Fast-forward to 2012 and we are even MORE impressed. We were under pressure to get the house ready to sell fast, and Kim knew exactly who to recommend for all of the updating and repairs. In talking with the contractors, painters, gardener, etc, who literally started work immediately, it was reassuring and impressive to consistently be told, aEURoeWe love working for Kim.aEUR? She always responded quickly and positively to any questions we had (including requests for hand-holding). Prospective buyers, other Realtors, and we were impressed with the presentation of the house. Then, after only a short time on the market, unusual circumstances arose and we ended up having to cancel the listing. Kim met this development with grace, understanding and nothing but support for us. While not the typical aEURoehappy endingaEUR? for buyer or seller (or listing agent!), our story is one more example of how Kim is the person you want working for you when dealing with real estate.
We were first time buyers in West Sacramento and Kim guided us through the process each step of the way. She showed us the homes after 5, so her flexibility really helped us find the right home. We purchased a short sale which was taking a long time due to the bank, but Kim would send us updates on the process and would respond to our emails right away. She would also press the other parties in the transaction to keep it moving. I feel that her tenacity in getting the bank to approve the short sale really helped us get this home.
We were fortunate to have met Kim almost 4 years ago as we began looking for our first home. We immediately felt very comfortable with her and trusted her skills and honesty. She was so responsive to our needs and was always available to answer any technical questions or simply just to ease our nerves. It has been such a pleasure working with her that I recommended her to my mother, who bought a condo last summer with Kim's help. I would HIGHLY recommend Kim to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!!
Kim is an outstanding real estate agent. She did a phenomenal job selling our home such that the process was fun and straightforward, there were no surprises, and from start to finish we knew exactly what we were supposed to do and how to do it right. We wanted to work with someone who had honesty and integrity as well as a track record of success, and that's why we picked her to represent our home. Kim is the consummate professional: she has the perfect balance of skill, business acumen and creative thinking that gets results. We are so grateful that we worked with her, and would not have listed our home with anyone else.
As first time home buyers, my husband and I knew practically nothing when we embarked on the process earlier this year. From the first day I met Kim I knew that she was someone I could trust whole-heartedly and that she had nothing but our very best interest in mind. She is honest and straight-forward and a true PARTNER. She helped guide us every single step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable and savvy in her field (and beyond! She has an expert eye in design too!). I could ask her absolutely any question and knew, without a doubt, that she would guide us in the right direction. I could not have asked for more in a realtor....and now friend! I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Kim Merrell Lamb is simply amazing!! In very short order Kim understood what I wanted, liked and needed and she delivered! She also kept me from myself. When I found the home of my dreams (and by the way, which I now own) I was anxious to throw money at it to ensure that it became mine. Kim counseled me to not over bid and informed me she would let me know when I needed to increase my offer. Folks, the bank did not counter my offer and I bought the home I love under the appraisal amount. In this day in age it is unheard of to have equity in your home. I had equity on day one and I got a home on a lake for an incredible price. In addition, I enjoyed each and every one of our house hunting trips. Kim is not only smart and incredibly knowledgeable about real estate, she is also a delight to be with. Kim delivered again and again. She kept me informed and negotiated on my behalf much better than I would have done for myself. I NEVER felt out of the loop or uninformed. She had an uncanny ability to know when I was beginning to wonder the status of the sale. No sooner would I wonder than I would get an call or email. This was the most relaxed real estate transaction I have ever experienced and I have had many. If you want to find the home of your dreams and enjoy the journey, Kim is the one who can make it happen and make it enjoyable.
When we needed help purchasing a property in Davis, CA, for our mom, we couldn't think of anyone else, but Kim Merrell Lamb, to represent our mom! Kim is extremely prompt in getting back to us with just the right information, and clearly goes above and beyond to really get to know us, in order to find just the right property that we are looking for. Kim would be THE Realtor to have on your side; she is that "peace of mind" that everyone should have when dealing with the maze of real estate transactions! Thank you, Kim! You are the BEST!!
We had very good experience with Kim Merrell Lamb during the search and purchase of the house. She sent house listing to us timely. Her response is very prompt. Her knowledge to the local area is quite impressive. We finally bought a very satisfactory house. We appreciate her great help.Fanbin & Helen
Kim is an excellent real estate agent! Even though we were first time buyers (in our early twenties) and on a budget, she took the purchase of our first home very seriously. She took my husband and I to numerous listings----some that we just wanted to see even if we couldnt afford them. While that part of our search was probably a waste of her time, she was always game to take us through the listing. She made what could have been a stressful time for us an experience that we will always look back on as fun! And really importantly, Kim made our transition from being renters to being homeowners a secure experience because she was willing to describe the financial realities of buying a home. This purchase was a huge step in our lives, and she showed us several homes in our area that were both what we could afford and what we wanted. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants to find the aEURoerightaEUR? house for the aEURoerightaEUR? number---and you will enjoy the experience while youre at it!
Kim Merrill is a very confident and knowledgable agent. She is truly a professional in her business relationships with other agents, lenders, title companies and bank representatives. Kim was the listing agent for my home in Davis in 2000. She sold my home with great success (I received several thousand dollars over the asking price!). Recently, I was in the market to purchase a new home in North Natomas. I called Kim, and she quickly went to work to find my "perfect" home. She promptly located several homes for us to preview later that day. Upon our first meeting, Kim was able to effectively ascertain my exact needs and style in a home for me and my children. Over the next few weeks, Kim was persistent in locating new listings that met my criteria and in dealing with listing agents and bank representatives. In the end, Kim and I found the most amazing home, which fulfilled all of my needs and desires in a new home for my family. She successfully negotiated an offer and the subsequent purchase of the home, which involved coast-to-coast transactions. Kim is not only a competent agent, she is also a wonderful person who genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you, Kim!
Kim was our agent for the sale of one property and the purchase of another. She was an expert at representing us in our listing as well as negotiating for us as buyers. She is extremely knowledgeable, creative, responsive and simply a wonderful person to be around and work with. Two thumbs up and 5 stars!
Even though the short sale process was anything but short, Kim was constantly updating and pushing the banks to respond. She helped us to the end and we are greatful to have had such a knowledgable and hard working Realtor.Thanks again Kim!!!
