When you receive a text on Thanksgiving morning from a previous client " stating they are thankful for me" and another client, "thankful for my tireless efforts on their behalf", That is what it is all about. I am thankful for this business and the wonderful people I meet and get to work with. I truly enjoy making them happy and servicing them. Integrity & honesty at the heart of every transaction. MEET KIM A home is never a fixture, never just a building; a home is so much more. I work with human lives and human emotions with clients' hopes, dreams, and concerns. That is how I approach it as well, and sincerely as my clients see it. For me, it comes without trying. It's genuine and just comes naturally. My clients consider me their trusted advisor and support system. I see myself as a thoughtful and efficient realtor with almost two decades in the business who does not push or sell. I enable my clients by providing them with all of the information in order for them to make an informative decision when they are ready. I have helped hundreds and hundreds of buyers and sellers, and with over one billion in sales, it is critical to me to demonstrate, even with the slightest interaction, to show them that I work relentlessly on their behalf to keep them fully informed during the process and meet their needs. I've seen it all. I began my real estate career in 2003, at the height of the housing market. " Those days gave a false sense of the job- you'd stick a sign in the yard, and it would practically sell while you were doing it., By 2007 my business was on a trajectory of success; however, a bad auto accident knocked me out of work for many, many months. My best friend (who worked with me and is now my right hand in the business) sacrificially stepped in, helping me keep my business afloat, which I did through physical therapy, and many doctor's appointments, every day a struggle. The housing bubble burst when I was getting back on my feet. Like many agents, I had to decide whether to switch careers or dig deeper. I was determined to stay in business and educated myself about foreclosures, distressed properties, and short sales. I learned all the niches at all levels of real estate to broaden my experience for the clients I worked for. But mainly in those tough years, I learned to listen and understand. I absorbed clients' stories and made them personal to help in any way I could. My business is about affecting lives, and I do not take that lightly. I am a member of the world!s most exciting, prestigious, high-end, global real estate collective, built to disrupt from the inside and out. We have the technology to match the buyer to your home. FROM THE BIG BOX TO BOUTIQUE BROKERAGE.

Kim is an incredible person to have on your team. She is smart, experienced, honest, and an advocate for your success. As a first time home seller, we found the process to be stressful and overwhelming, but Kim calmed our worries at every turn. We had been in discussion for several years and Kim waited patiently until we felt ready. When it came time to go to market, she, of course, helped us sell quickly and at a price we felt good about! Needless to say, you're in good hands with Kim.

Kim is everything you would want and need your realtor to be. All you have to do is call her and tell her what you want, consider the rest handled. This is the second home she has sold for our family over the years. She is professional, focused and genuinely concerned on a personal level about your transaction. She has the skill to make you know that your listing is the most important one she has. Absolutely the best at what she does, hands down!!!

We have relied on Kim Simpson and team for both a purchase and sale of our home. Kim and team are honest, professional and made both transactions a relatively effortless process. They spent the time needed to walk us through the process and made sure we understood all that we needed to know. We sold our home within 24 hours of listing!As an aside, they are lovely, kind, fun people and we enjoyed having them as our realtors. We recommend this team without hesitation.

We could not be more impressed with Kim Simpson and her team! After having a wonderful experience with Kim during a home purchase in 2008, we did not hesitate to call her in the summer of 2017 to help us sell our home and relocate to Middletown. From start to finish, Kim was our rock of determination and patience. From finding us a new home, to helping us navigate through the twists and turns of new construction, to negotiating with challenging buyers, Kim was by our side and only a text/call away day and night. We recommend her to everyone we speak to. Her level of knowledge and professionalism, combined with compassion and tactful perseverance is exactly what you need when buying or selling a home. She has also surrounded herself with an equally qualified team! We couldn't be happier, you will be happy you chose her! The Torres Family

Kim went way above the normal duties of a realtor in that she personally oversaw several house inspections to assist my wife and me in making a buying decision from overseas (Australia) during our relocation preparations. Kim's communications with us via phone and emails was superb and Kim's caring manner to help insure the process of our purchase of this property and recommendations of contractors and lawyers for us to choose from was most beneficial to us.If ever there was a realtor who should receive a 'Realtor of The Year' award, our vote would certainly be cast for Kim Simpson, and our recommendations to others about Kim's services will continue to be related in the highest regards.Most sincerely,Curtis and Kathleen York

Kim Simpson is the most honest realtor I have ever met. She truly cares about her clients and is always looking out for their best interests. We spent over a year dragging Kim to one house after another. Kim was always extremely energentic, helpful, funny, and definetly never tried to pushed us into buying until we were 100% ready. It is extremely unusual to find such an honest and caring realtor who is truly looking out for their client, but that is what The Kim Simpson group is all about.

When we began looking for a home, we were overwhelmed with the intricacies of home buying (as this was our first time). We had just stepped away from a 5-month short sale process and Kim welcomed us with knowledge, respect, care and patience. She helped us land a HUD home in no time at all - and kept us cool as we jumped through the associated hoops. Even when we texted, emailed, called in a panic (even AFTER we purchased our home), Kim was always there with a thoughtful (and correct) answer.Couldn't have done it without her.

We listed our home with Kim Simpson last Spring and it sold within a matter of days. Since we originally thought we would have more time to find our next home, we were shocked when we were suddenly under contract and quickly began looking for our next home. Kim was helping us sell and buy homes at the same time and she did it effortlessly. The house we were selling was in great condition to begin with, but she brought in a stager as a professional courtesy which really helped us de-clutter and let prospective buyers see themselves in the home. During our negotiations with the prospective buyers, Kim gave us great advice on navigating through the often tricky home inspection phase. She also did a great job with getting our offer together for the home we purchased and suggested we ask for certain items that we would have never thought to do. Settlement for both homes was a breeze and we would absolutely list with her again and have already recommended her to friends and family. Thanks again Kim!

Kim gave the impression that she did not care about anything but the sale. She was very pushy insisting that I put a bid on a home when I still had many questions to ask. In addition, when she found out that I was not ready to make an offer the quality of service went downhill fast. During our last phone conversation, I felt that the answers she was producing were an improvisation.

Kim's service was excellent. She was very professional, listen to our needs and desire,and responded accordingly.We were relocating from another state and were only available on weekends to view homes. Kim made sure that she had a number of homes for us to view on those days. She even made herself available during some of her scheduled personal time. Kim helped guide us through all of the details involved in the home buying process. On the day of settlement as we arrived at the home that we were about to purchase we immediately had a flat tire. Kim called her husband to help out with the situation and ensured that we were at settlement on time. Subsequent to settlement Kim continues to show that she thought of us as more than a transaction. She sends inspirational notes and even left a little token of hospitality in our doorway. It is with out a doubt that If we ever get involved in another real estate transaction that we want Kim Simpson to be our agent.

Hi all,In the beginning of the summer of 2012, I was in the market for a new home. I was referred to Kim Simpson by a friend of mine. Buying a home takes so much time and effort. I spent practically my entire summer and fall looking at various houses on weekends and many evenings, and sometimes during the weekend day. Kim was with me every step of the way. I truly dont know how she did it. We had appointment after appointment. Some houses we visited twice....God Bless her. I wasn't real sure what I wanted at first but still she stuck with me until I was able to figure it out and find the right place. I bid on 4 houses. I lost 3....one less than 12 hours before making settlement (not anything on my end but an issue with the developer). The house I settled on was one that Kim had notified me about. When she said I need to see the house right away, I was on it within hours. It was truly the best choice for me. By then I think Kim had an idea of what I wanted and what my needs were. She was patience, reliable, professional, very knowledgeable in the work she did. She worked with my mortgage company, my settlement attorneys, and helped me handle the monkey wrenches that we encountered along the way in this process (and we encountered the unusual). My experience working with Kim was nothing short of excellent. Buying a house is huge, and I could not have asked for a better realtor to help me handle that decision. I would recommend Kim highly to anyone serious about buying property.

Worked with Kim through two very challenging sales. She is deliberate, focused and a skilled negotiator. When faced with unexpected challenges, her advice was always right on. Kim has a broad pool of resources to draw on that allow her to address issues quickly. Example: Finding out that a deck had never been permitted and was out of code thus preventing a sale was not the kind of news that an out-of-state seller needs to hear. Kim, quickly lined up a reliable contractor who cost effectively and quickly completed the necessary work, allowing the sale to close. I can without hesitation recommend Kim whether you are buying or selling.

Very impressive from the start, easy to deal with. Did not have a lot of need for extras to sell our house, as it sold in 4 days. Had a lot of showings even after we accepted an offer. If we had not sold right away, I am sure she would have done everything possible to give it full exposure and sell the house.

Kim was fantastic. She represented us on both ends, selling and purchasing. Under current market circumstances our working relationship lasted for just over a year. As a working mother of two with a traveling husband I was impressed that Kim always made herself available on our very short and compressed time schedule, morning, noon or night. She returned every phone call and countless e-mails within the same day if she wasn't available at first instance. Kim showed us dozens of houses over the tri-state area until we finally found our perfect home, which by the way she successfully negotiated a second offer on 3 months after an initial offer we made on the same house! Kim is extremely professional and has a plethora of knowledge with this ever changing market. She is a amazing at her job and we are glad to say we not only found an realtor but a friend!
