Their journey together is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and mutual growth—both professionally and personally. Kim’s Foundation of Excellence Kim’s story begins in Michigan, where she established herself as a force in the real estate world long before setting foot in Florida. With an extensive background that includes owning and operating a successful real estate brokerage, along with working at Ford as an engineer since 1992, Kim has honed skills that uniquely blend technical precision with human empathy. Her attention to detail and highly organized nature have been critical in her ability to connect deeply with clients and understand their specific needs. For Kim, real estate is not merely a transaction; it’s about guiding people through some of the biggest decisions of their lives. She takes her responsibilities seriously and ensures that each client feels as though they are her only focus, offering personalized service tailored to their unique situation. However, Kim knows that quality service cannot be scaled endlessly without compromising the experience. That’s why she believes in the importance of teamwork. Her philosophy is simple: "We would rather turn you down than let you down." If she and her team believe they can’t serve a client to the high standard they set, they are honest and upfront about it. This commitment to integrity sets them apart in an industry often driven by numbers. Strategic Vision and Team Dynamics Kim’s approach to real estate is far from conventional. Her extensive experience, combined with her natural empathy and analytical mindset, allows her to think creatively and craft unique strategies for each client.

The team’s commitment to excellence extends beyond the traditional agent community.

Whether it's curating a tailored presentation for a home or implementing an out-of-the-box marketing plan, the Kim & Dave Luxury Team consistently delivers results that go beyond expectations. Building a Community and Finding Love in Sarasota Kim’s journey took a significant turn in 2016 when she relocated to Sarasota, Florida, without knowing anyone in the area. She quickly obtained her real estate license and set about building not only a thriving business but also a community of meaningful friendships.

In 2021, Kim met Dave, and they instantly recognized that they were not only a perfect fit in business but also in life. Their shared passion for real estate, mutual values, and unwavering commitment to growth made it clear that they were destined to be partners in more ways than one. In May of 2024, Kim and Dave tied the knot, solidifying their partnership both personally and professionally. Today, they lead a dedicated, hardworking team that embodies their love for life and their business.
