     We have worked with Kim in both buying (4) and selling houses (3)  since 1997 and I would recommend her to anyone who is a serious buyer or seller.  She works hard, works smart, and we have always been pleased with the outcome.   She knows the market and pulls out all stops to get a great result.

     Kim Coburn has been our real estate agent for both the purchase and sale of our home in Tuscawilla Country Club.  We found Kim to be very knowledgeable, honest, responsive, and a true professional. I would highly recommend her services.

     We had the pleasure of working with Kim Coburn to buy a new home and sell our existing home.  Kim is everything you'd want in a Realtor: knowledgeable, professional, responsive, informative and always available. With Kim's help, we found a new home in a matter of weeks, and sold our home (in a depressed market) for the full asking price in
5 days.  We think that speaks for itself.  So if you need a great Realtor - call Kim!

     My neighbor listed her house with Kim several years ago and had five offers on her house during a very slow housing market.  I knew that when the time came, I would definitely consider listing my house with Kim.  I went ahead and interviewed several real estate agents, including Kim and, before I even had a chance to call her back and give her the listing, she called me with a potential buyer for my house!! She was there every step of the way, from contract to closing. Kim is very motivated, accessible, knowledgeable, and a true professional.  Her many years in the real estate business and the desire to get things done definitely give her an edge.  As the saying goes "theres no substitute for experience" and Kim Coburns got it!

     Kim Coburn was a great find in the Realtor business. We moved from a small town to the big sprawl of Orlando. Her knowledge of the area and the schools helped make our move a smooth transition. She made sure we saw all the areas we asked about before we made our final decision. Putting us in the right area and the right house was her top priority. We highly recommend using Kim as your Realtor.

Dear Ms. Gallagher McIver:

     The purpose of this letter is to express my appreciation of the excellent work of a member of your office and that is Kim Coburn.
     I have sold two properties and purchased one utilizing the services of Kim. In each instance Kim's standards have been high. She has been professional, and has guided me through both the selling and buying process with great care, patience, and high attention to detail.
     In one instance, she was able to obtain a significantly higher price in the sale of my property through her excellent negotiation and sales skills. I had suggested a much lower sales price and with her guidance and knowledge of market factors, we were able to price it more competitively. This produced several offers, all higher than the asking price. With her help, we reviewed the offers, and secured what we believed was the best offer.
     Ours has been a long term relationship, so when I need a new home again in March, 2006, I did not hesitate to contact her. After many viewings, I received a call from her one Sunday morning. We went to a builder "close out", where after a significant sales price savings, I purchased my present Town Home near a Golf Course. It was her watchful eye that got us this lead!
     Kim is clearly an asset to your firm. She has become a friend to me, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She will do a very thorough, professional, and passionate job for any client she works with.
 

Sincerely,
Carmen H.

 

Dear Kim,


    
Thank you so much for all of your help with the purchase of our new home and sale of our existing home.  Weve been through this with you several times now in the last two decades, and I cant imagine working with a different Realtor.  From the sale of my first condo that I bought after graduating from college to the purchase of our 4000+ square foot house for our family of five, your work for us has been phenomenal.  You are there to support your customer in all aspects of a home purchase or sale.

      I cant imagine that many families are as picky as we about what they want in a house, but if they are, they can rest assured that you will work with them until they find the house thats right for them.  You made sure that you understood what we wanted in our new home.  As we looked at houses, you were also checking them out thoroughly.  You would point out both positive and negative things about the house. As detail oriented as we both are, you always spotted things that we missed. Youd compare the different houses that we looked at, give your opinion on the pros and cons of each one, but you never tried to push us into buying a particular house.  If a house looked good and was priced right, youd let us know it.  If a house was overpriced, had maintenance issues, or otherwise wasnt a good investment for us, you told us that. You looked at a house as if you were buying it for yourself.  After the many hours you spent showing us houses, you kept working hard once we found the house we wanted to buy. You handled every detail promptly and professionally. You even took care of things that the sellers Realtor wasnt getting done.

     Your business knowledge and professionalism is just as strong when it comes to selling a home. You know what price a house should list for.  You will go over the comps and make that price recommendation to your customer, and then you will support their decision. You also know just what needs to be done to show a home.  In the sale of our home, you always advised against spending money where you thought it wouldnt make a difference.  There would have been several things that I would have fixed prior to placing our house on the market.  These repairs would have cost us several thousand dollars. You said not to, and as it turned out, it had no effect on the price we got for our house.  Once our home was ready to show, your staff created a phenomenal video and photo gallery of our house. I enjoy looking at videos of homes for sale on the internet, and cant begin to tell you how many Ive watched.  I will say with certainty that not one has compared to the amazing job that you did with ours. I actually got tears in my eyes when I watched it for the first time. As with previous homes we sold through you, we got a contract quickly and when we did, you followed through with every detail until the sale closed.

     The difference between you and other Realtors is that youre not there just to get a commission check; you want your customers to be happy, and you work hard for them.  I know it pays off through referrals and repeat business.  It wont be soon, but when its time to go through this process again, youll be hearing from us.  Thank you again for everything.

-Deborah N.


     When we began to consider selling our home, I spoke with Kim Coburn about representing us in the transaction. She came to our home with some comparables of the neighborhood and other valuable information. She also explained how she could assist us in the sale of our house.   We initially went the "For Sale by Owner" route.  We had two or three people express interest in our home and we began negotiations.  We quickly realized that a real estate transaction can become very complex and we needed representation in the sale to protect our interest.
     We went back to Kim and asked her to represent us and she did. She was fair and honest in our dealings. She prepared us for what to expect in the transaction. Within a few weeks she found a buyer and had a solid offer, which we signed.
     We had some complications arise in the sale of the home. Kim was outstanding in dealing with the complications, getting repairmen for the repairs, answering our questions and keeping the deal alive.
     I would without reservation recommend Kim Coburn in the sale of real estate. She was competent, knowledgeable, thorough and honest.  It was a pleasure dealing with a person with the integrity of Kim Coburn.
-David B.


     Thanks for everything.  I like real estate agents better because of you!
-Rick G.


     We appreciate so much all you did to help us sell our home.  My mother has some property she is thinking of selling.  Please give her a call.  She also has a neighbor who wants to sell a new home.  I sent your card on to him.  Thank you.
-Janet V.


     Thank you for making the purchase of my condo so nice.  I knew it was meant to be mine the first time I saw the view.  Thank you for telling me about it.  It was a pleasure doing business with a professional. I really respect you for the care and concern you had for me. You are an angel.
-Diane B.


     We want to thank you for all your hard work selling our house.  I know it wasn't real easy and we both appreciate your help.  Thanks again, Kim.
-Mike and Mary G.


     Thank you so much for everything.  I owe Pat big time for the referral to Kim Coburn.  She brought a buyer immediately.   The closing went well yesterday.   I would recommend Kim to anyone in the market for a Realtor.
-John C.


     Kim Coburn was referred to us from a friend.  We had interviewed another company but Kim's quality and professionalism made it easy to choose to work with her.  Kim gave us excellent recommendations on how to make our home more saleable and maintained a constant level of communication.  She continually provided us with information during the marketing and sales process.    Everything was excellent from start to finish.  We would definitely recommend Kim Coburn to friends and family!

     Just wanted to say a special thanks for being so helpful to us in buying our home.  Your patience, knowledge and understanding were greatly appreciation.  Your good mix of professionalism and personality makes it easy to work with you.  Thank you again for everything.
-Norma & Randolph G.


     We met Kim Coburn at a house she was listing.  We didn't like that house but Kim found us what we did want.  Kim was great!  I've already referred a friend to her and I think they've found a house already.  Kim picks up by listening to her clients what they really want in a house, even better than the client knows.  She was so helpful!  We will use Kim Coburn for our next purchase, without a doubt.
-Paula & Lloyd A.


     If anyone is considering selling their home in the future I truly recommend the agent we used, Kim Coburn.  She did a great job marketing not only our house but also our  neighborhood and the Tuskawilla community.  I typically despise Realtors for charging too much commission for little work and follow through but Kim Coburn definitely did a great job and restored my faith in Realtors justifying their commission.
-AJ & Betsy A.


     Kim Coburn has consistently exceeded our expectations and has provided a very high level of professionalism in everything she has done for us.  We were completely satisfied with every aspect of her performance.  We would strongly recommend Kim Coburn to anyone who needs a quality Realtor.
-Brenda & Brian W.


     Kim Coburn did a great job for us.  Kim's effectiveness, availability and professionalism were the primary reason we chose to work with her.  Kim gave us an abundance of home choices.  She worked with us and was willing to do whatever needed.  We  would confidently refer Kim Coburn to anyone looking for a new home.
-Jason & Melanie M.


     After interviewing two other companies, I decided to go with Kim Coburn for my real estate needs.  I was very impressed with her quality and honesty.  She helped me by recommending ways to make my home more saleable and kept me informed and up to date through out the entire sales process.  I would strongly recommend Kim Coburn.  She is an excellent Realtor!
-Rick R. 

     
     I still can''t believe how stress free the whole process was!  Kim is a true professional,  very knowledgeable and very good at what she does. If I know of anyone buying or selling, I will gladly refer them to her. 
-Shanon S.


Kim came into a very demanding situation and helped us sell our house.  We appreciated the fact that Kim was a courageous communicator and was not shy about letting us know exactly what she was thinking.  Kim certainly earned my business if I am in the Orlando real estate market in the future.
-Ivan and Amy C.


 

Kim was so very helpful in all aspects of the buying and selling and I really appreciate all the times she went the extra mile. Buying a new home after living in the same place for 30 years was stressful but she did so much to make the way easier for me.

-Susie H.  


 

Kim,

I just received the card in the mail where a donation was made in my honor to the Children's Network.  Thank you so much, that was so very kind of you.  Thank you again for handling the sale of my house, I only wish I would have gone with you from the beginning, but I was trying to do a favor for a friend.  You are great at your job, I can attest to that as you sold 2 houses for me ....Keep up the good work.

Thank you again,

Judy A.

 

P.S. The stress level that is gone from me is unbelievable!!!!!!!  Thanks again!!!!!



Kim,

Before we left Tuscawilla, we told EVERYONE we knew how great you were and how easily you facilitated our sale.   I hope you will get referrals as a result.   We were most enthusiastic, and I think your "burning up" tag line will help people remember who to call.  I always mentioned that when I said your name.

I hope the buyers love our old house as much as we did.

Thank you so much for what you did for us.   

-Rebecca


 

I found Kim Coburn through the Internet and hired her because of the testimonials I saw on her website from her satisfied clients. I live in Maryland and was trying to finding a real estate agent to sell a house I owned in Winter Springs that I had been renting to relatives who had to relocate quickly. I want to say that the accolades about Kim in the testimonials are all true! Kim just sold my house in a very tough  market (winter 2010) and handled a myriad of details that I could not take care of because I live so far away. Her staging of the house and the video tour she prepared were amazing! (I barely recognized the house.)  Kim is savvy, conscientious, creative and upbeat. She is totally dedicated to her clients. I cant imagine having had a better real estate agent selling my home.

Lynn and I have complete faith in you … you’ve already done more for us in less than a week, than our previous real estate broker did in almost 7 months.  Not for lack of effort … I truly believe they tried as hard as they could.  BUT, shear effort, in and of itself wasn’t enough … especially in our situation.  Based on what I’ve been able to observe in the brief time we’ve corresponded, I believe you bring a wealth of practical experience in this area, as well as a very strong intuitive feel for the market that wasn’t obvious in any of the predecessors we considered.
 
Specifically, there’s a rhyme and reason for the recommendations you make and actions you take, as opposed to a looser, more laissez-faire approach of the brokers that preceded you.  I accept full responsibility for failing to list with you long before now.  Lynn did her research and made the recommendation that we switch … unfortunately, we were both concerned about the time we would lose in the transition, based on the amount of time it took to get our house listed initially.  If we had known you would have been ready to list our house in less than a week, the decision would have been a no-brainer.  This is yet another example of when I should have heeded my wife’s advice, but didn’t.  I just wonder how long it will take me to live this one down.
 
There is, however, one area of complete consensus between Lynn and me … we both believe you are acting in our best interests.  As such, you are, and will continue to be in both of our prayers, as we ask the Lord to bless you and the fruit of your labors in selling our house.
 
Thanks for everything!  May God Bless and Keep you in your efforts to find a qualified buyer for our home, despite the severe schedule constraints.
