See What Past Clients Say About Kim Hove

• "Kim is personable, thorough, and very professional. She took a lot of the stress out of the stressful act of buying our first home. We highly recommend working with Kim Hove."
  
  
  - Paul Dolly Raabe

1) We had worked with another agent when buying our first home years ago. Since then Kim had become a friend and neighbor. After the Hove's moved from our current neighborhood we ran into her and learned she had become an agent for Coldwell Banker Gundaker. We both said at the time we could see Kim being really good at that work and decided that someday we might call upon her services. When our original agent retired and it was time to sell our last home, that time came.

2) We have always known Kim to be bright, smiling, cheerful, outgoing and very knowledgeable about the area where we live. She is well known and thought highly of among our neighbors. We always enjoyed any time we spent with her and felt she would be great to work with. We wanted Kim to have our business. 

3) The other personal characteristic about Kim that impressed us was her honest and straight forward nature. She also seems to be able to make friends easily where ever she goes. She has always been involved in the community, her children's schools, her church and with old friends. All this combines to make her well informed of the local real estate market. We were totally confident in Kim's abilities to help us sell our house despite the difficult economic situation. She went the extra distance, holding the house open more often than perhaps others would have. Together we brainstormed how to sell our unusual floor plan and she followed up on every idea the three of us were able to come up with. She advertised our house in more places, more often and more consistently and persistently than we could have imagined. She tracked everyone who showed any serious interest, developing relationships with many, and keeping our house on their minds until their decisions had been made. Her efforts exceeded our expectations. Given that we thought we knew her pretty well before we started, that is saying a lot. Her persistence and positive energy were, we believe, key to her success.

4)We had an unusual property to sell in the toughest market any of us have ever experienced. Kim never gave up and never stopped working for us. She has a keen perspective on what a seller needs and what a buyer is looking for and how to bring the two together. We would tell any friend or associate who was looking to buy or sell a home to go see Kim Hove at Coldwell Banker. She is honest, smart, well informed and genuinely caring. We would recommend her whole-heartedly and enthusiastically to anyone needing a real estate agent today.

She followed through with her plan of how to market the property(open house, advertising, etc) and was very helpful with ideas for preparing the condo to look it's best, even bringing items of her own to make it look appealing. Within about 5 weeks we had an offer to purchase. She kept in touch with us throughout the whole process."

• "My husband and I met Kim at an Open House and she just made such an impression that when we were looking for a realtor, I remembered Kim. We had interviewed 2-3 realtors but we had not found one that seemed to understand the uniqueness of our home.  Kim was very professional, upfront and listened to us. She understood our situation, our home and our neighborhood. She met all of our expectations.  Kim's thoroughness, knowledge of what needed to be done and willingness to do everything possible to make things run smoothly impressed both of us.  I would tell a friend to absolutely to use Kim because of her knowledge, professionalism, and understanding of what her buyer/seller expects. And! She has a great personality, which is why it all works so well."

  - Gregg Wickstra

• "We have bought and sold many houses over the years and Kim ranks in the very top tier of real estate professionals with whom we have dealt. Her efforts on our behalf truly are defined by above and beyond the call of duty".
  
  
  - Les and Jan Hinton

• "Kim is very sweet and does not talk realtor-ese over your head (I knew nothing about buying/selling). She is honest in that she does not tell you what she thinks you want to hear, she tells you what she thinks you need to hear. And she's prettier in person :)"
  
  
  - Anne Gray

• "Kim was a very hard worker when it came to selling our house. She held open houses about every 3 weeks and was very prompt with following up with people who showed interest in our house. She also updated the flyers and brochures whenever we made any changes to the rooms. Kim always had the latest market and sales information whenever we needed to meet to discuss changes.
  
  As a buyers agent Kim was outstanding. We had been looking for a home with her for close to one and a half years. She was very patient with us and showed us a LOT of houses in a LOT of price ranges as we went back and forth as to what our best option would be. She never showed frustration or anger that we couldn't make up our mind. She never acted as though we were wasting her time and always was willing to show us one more home. Kim is willing to fight for you as a buyer and make sure you get the best deal you can get."
  
  
  
  - LeOra Fuhler

• "Very dependable, involved and efficient!"
  
  
  - Sameena Malhan

• "Kim was GREAT! She really tried to focus in on what we were wanting and was was patient with us as it took about 10 months to find a house that we love. She was always very helpful when I would call her freaking out about something during the closing process. I would without a doubt recommend her to my friends and family! Keep up the great work!!!"
  
  
  - Steven and Shiloh Kukuljan

• "Kim is the realtor for many of our friends and came highly recommended when we moved to St Louis. It was a quick move, so we were in and out of town in one weekend when the housing market was booming. She showed us several houses in a short period of time. We put money down before leaving town because friends told us that the way the market was at the time, we could lose it by the next day.
  
  Although we have been in the same house for 7 years now, Kim has been just a phone call away with names of contractors and other craftsmen that have helped us make improvements.
  
  She has answered all of our questions in a reasonable time frame and knows what our price limitations are. With only subtle reminders, she keeps us informed of what is happening in the housing market, and we will not forget her when it comes to selling this house and moving elsewhere."
  
  
  - Jeff Pam Nielsen

  - David Smith

• "After buying and/or selling 8 homes over the years I can authoritatively say that Kim was the overall best Realtor that my wife and I have ever worked with. Kim was prepared, connected to our needs, a talented negotiator and her attention to detail is incredible. Her assistance continued after the close even to the point of sending us our closing statement for tax purposes at tax time. Kim has our unqualified endorsement and recommendation."
  
  
  - Gary and Mary Kreeci

• "As a military family, we move every 3 years. We have bought and sold 4 houses in the past 9 years. Kim was by far the best agent we have worked with. She was upfront, honest and always available when we had a question or problem. We appreciated her staying on top of all the details while we were still out on the East coast. We would highly recommend Kim and will definitely work with her again when it is time to leave the St Louis area!"
