Kimberly Doner - Compass COMPASS | Luxury Real Estate Expert Specializing in the South Bay | DRE #01828186 Hi! Kimberly Doner DRE #01828186

I’m Kimberly Doner, a Residential Real Estate Advisor who has served the greater South Bay area for more than a decade. I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley and live in Torrance with my husband, our two daughters, and our 2 Newfoundland dogs. We enjoy my husband’s Michelin-star-quality home cooked meals, watching our girls’ club soccer games and going skiing/snowboarding in the winter.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Colorado (go Buffs!). Real estate is like my third child; I know it inside out, love it deeply, and have been through its ups and downs. Over the years, I’ve refined a meticulous system of processes and a stellar roster of resources that have proven successful time after time — and I can’t wait to share them with you! Between my extraordinary staff and I, you’ll have a dedicated group of professionals, intimately acquainted with your needs and situation to ensure you’re always taken care of quickly and effectively. My Operations Manager, Lauren, is a licensed agent herself and ensures we never skip a beat. Some have referred to us as “a well-oiled machine.”

We look forward to serving you with the highest level of care and expertise, and we greatly appreciate your referrals.

Before this Southwood beauty even hit the market, it was already a bit of a neighborhood crush. 😍🏡 My secret? Intentional property prep! 💪🏼 We decluttered, deep cleaned, painted, and brought in my talented friends at to work their magic. 🛋️✨

This gorgeous home had buyers swooning the moment they stepped through the door. From the updated finishes to the recently added primary suite, every inch of this home felt thoughtful, inviting, and move-in ready.

When it comes to selling, presentation pays. Sometimes the difference between “that’s a nice house” and “I MUST HAVE this house” is all in the prep. 😉

Thinking about making a move? I’d love to help you get your home ready to show in its best light. 🏡

Another one SOLD 📍This time in West Torrance 🗝️✨

This gem officially closed after a quick 9️⃣ days on the market with 8 incredible offers 💪🏼 There’s something about a beautifully updated home 🏡 in West Torrance (just 1 mile from the beach 🏝️) that gets buyers moving FAST… and this sale was no exception. 🏃

This one is extra special for me because I actually helped my clients purchase this home 🔟 years ago when it was a fixer 🤯🛠️ Over the last decade, I’ve had the joy of watching them transform it into something truly beautiful. 💫 And somewhere along the way, they went from clients to very good friends ❤️

Now they’re headed out of state for their next chapter, and while I’m so excited for them… I’d be lying if I said I’m not genuinely sad to see them go 🥹

So grateful they trusted me once again to help guide this important transition 🙏🏻

The South Bay market continues to reward homes that are well-prepared, well-marketed, and priced strategically 👀 If you’ve been considering a move, I’d love to help you put a game plan together.

SOLD in Hermosa Beach 🌊🔑

This Hermosa stunner officially closed after just 2 weeks on the market with multiple offers and a final sale price $100K OVER asking 🎉💸 When a house comes on that hits every mark (☀️west of PCH, 🚶‍♀️walkability, 🌴indoor-outdoor living, ✨ beautifully updated interiors), people are willing to shell out. 🐚💰

Huge congratulations to my sweet seller on a fantastic outcome. This was actually the FOURTH transaction I’ve had the pleasure of helping her with over the years, which makes this one feel extra special. ❤️ There’s nothing better than having clients come back time and time again and trusting me to guide them through such important milestones. 🙏🏻

While many neighborhoods across LA are seeing a slowdown in sales, the South Bay market is still moving, especially for turnkey homes in prime locations. 🏖️ If you’ve been thinking about making a move, let’s talk.

Local Spotlight: Neptune’s Frozen Treats 🍦✨

Just in time for the long weekend & unofficial kickoff to summer… ☀️🌊 sharing one of my newest South Bay obsessions: in Malaga Cove Plaza!

This spot is making some serious waves with frozen yogurt, custards, gelatos, and sorbets topped with all the gourmet goodies your sweet tooth could dream of. 🍨✨ Tucked behind the real estate offices and right across from Yellow Vase, it’s the perfect little hidden gem for a post-beach treat.

Their flavors rotate, but they always have staples like non-dairy oatmilk vanilla and low-fat triple chocolate 🍫. A few fan favorites include honeycomb 🍯, cherry 🍒, and Cookie Monster 🍪🩵

If you haven’t been yet… my sincerest apologies in advance for introducing you to your newest addiction. 😋🍦

JUST SOLD Off-Market in Manhattan Beach! 🌊🙏🏻

When my client decided to sell her investment property off-market, we immediately generated strong interest and multiple competitive 💪🏼 offers from developers and builders. But while thinking about who the right buyer could be, I had an idea… 💡 I picked up the phone ☎️ and called the neighbor next door.

Why? Because in Manhattan Beach 🏖️, the value of a property is often about so much more than just the home itself.  It’s the bigger picture: the location, the ocean views 🌊, the long-term benefits, and the rare chance to control what happens next door 👀✨ Opportunities like this don’t come around very often.

The neighbor immediately saw the opportunity to not only preserve their ocean views, but at the same time to invest in a piece of real estate that made perfect sense for their long-term plans. They came in with a strong all-cash offer and the rest is history 🤝💰

The final result:
✨ Sold for $2,250,000
✨ $150K over asking
✨ 4 competitive offers
✨ All cash

Moral of the story? Sometimes your best buyer is closer than you think…in this case, literally right next door 🚪✨

Huge congratulations to my wonderful seller on a fantastic outcome and smooth closing! Thinking about buying, selling, or curious what creative strategies could work for your home? Let’s chat 📩
