She followed up on leads and buyer feedback. She was genuinely interested in getting me the best price for my home. I would definitely use Kim Ward again.

I was given Kim's number by the Trust accountant, Helen Welbourn, that did the tax return for my mother's trust after she passed. Kim and Ashley came to my home and spent time with my husband and me explaining and outlining what we could expect from them should I decide to sell my mother's home. It took me about 3 weeks to finally decide to sell. Kim walked me through the process and it couldn't have been easier! The home had been a rental for 15 years and it needed some repairs and updating. She knew just what to do and who to contact to make that happen. I could have sold it "as is" but on Kim's advise I put about 30k into bringing the home up to the next level. And boy, I'm glad I did! We listed it for 50k more than we initially anticipated and it sold in 5 days for 30k more than asking price. Kim and her team are truly experts. They went above and beyond, handling all the details. She kept me informed on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. I am so thankful for all their help! I could not have done this without them. If you find yourself in the position of responsibility for a family members property, rest assured that Kim Ward and her team at Horizon Real Estate have your back and best interest at heart.

When we interviewed realtor candidates to sell my deceased brothers condo, Kim and her team came across as clearly a cut above. They understood what I was going through, the challenges ahead, and empathetically took me through the process of educating me, agreeing on a sells strategy, including price, and preparing the condo for the market. She didn't just tell me what work needed to be done (which was considerable), she or people she found did the work. She and Laura were always responsive (including regular Tuesday briefings), transparent and clear. They were a blessing. Robert Smith

Much like the other reviews here, I was also facing a complicated situation, as my mother’s estate was in probate and I live on the east coast. When I first met Kim I was impressed by her knowledge and experience. She was incredibly helpful and patient, very organized and knowledgeable. She communicated with me through every step, and was always easy to reach when I had questions or worries. She has made a stressful situation easy for me (no small feat). No recommendation could be high enough.

My sister and I had the pleasure working with Kim Ward and her team to sell our Dad's home. Kim helped every step of the way from preparing the home to go on the market, explaining the nuances of how estate home sales differ from conventional sales, and overseeing a complicated process. Kim's knowledge, expertise, and experience were invaluable in pricing the home and finding the right buyer during a time when the real estate market was softening. As her YouTube videos can attest, she possesses a teaching spirit and is very patient. We are so blessed to have worked with Kim, would definitely seek her help again, and recommend her to anyone seeking to sell or purchase a home.

Kim Ward and the staff at Horizon Real Estate made the sale of my deceased husband's condo effortless for me.no nervous breakdown, no sleepless nights figuring out what to do next. Step by step they handle everything. Loved Kim's videos that explained where we were each phase of selling. Kim even helped me with politely having the renter move out in a timely manner.

Living out of state, I needed somebody who knew the California probate ropes and the unique challenges that would be encountered. Kim and her team excelled in making this sale happen. Experience with the probate process would have been welcome enough, but she also had the right contacts to get things done, and get them done quickly and effortlessly. By the time I had thought of a potential roadblock, she already had solutions lined up. I am particularly appreciative of the frequency and quality of the regular progress contact points. She even delivered timely, brief but effective videos on what to expect next and how it should be handled. Due to the expertise and diligence of Kim and her team, my trips from Arizona were absolutely minimized. Believe me, she knows what she’s doing. Thank you, Kim and Horizon Real Estate!

Kim and her team made the probate estate sale of my Grandfathers house smooth and seamless. Being out of state, I'm really happy I chose her. Communication was important to me and they really do a great job. Highly recommend them!
