Kim’s Concierge Page​★★★★★
"We were first time home sellers and working with Kim was seamless. Kim is so patient and informative and really took the time to answer all of our questions, as well as help us with all the details of selling and promoting our condo. She did this so well that we were able to go under contract within a week with multiple GREAT offers! Kim is so trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable which made a stressful process go SO smooth. I HIGHLY recommend Kim for any real estate needs in the Chicago/Chicagoland area!

"Simply wow. Kim from the very beginning of our condo search was incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable. We threw every question in the book at her being first-time home buyers and on top of that, a military family utilizing a VA loan. Whenever questions arose Kim immediately met us with information and contacts to gain further insight. When touring potential places not only was searching with Kim so much fun but she gathered all the nitty gritty details from listing agents that we would not even know to ask. In the crazy market that was, Kim quickly became our steadfast voice of reason. Allowing us to make decisions that made sense for our family but giving us all the knowledge and tools to do so. Between Kim's network of contacts, skill and determination to get the job done we felt honestly honored to have her on our side. We cannot recommend Kim enough and our so grateful to have gained this relationship in our life.

"Kim did an excellent job in assisting us with the purchase of our condo. She was responsive, knowledgeable, resourceful, friendly and always available. She was involved in all aspects from the beginning to the end including the closing and always willing to give advice and suggestions. She kept us up to date and made sure we understood any delays in the negotiating and closing process. I would definitely recommend Kim Kelly to be your real estate agent!

"Kim was an amazing agent as a first time home buyer! I felt like I was her only client - for example, she got me the only private showing for my eventual purchase during a wildly competitive market! I also really appreciated how on top of every little detail she is. I never felt that I had to worry about anything during the purchasing process as she always had an email in my inbox telling me everything I needed to know and was always available to speak on the phone - a huge relief as a first time buyer. She was one of the most responsive and professional people I have worked with in or out of real estate and I would recommend her to anyone, anytime."

"Kim was incredibly helpful throughout my home-buying experience! During the initial search, she went above and beyond when helping me evaluate potential listings as well as later on when setting up and attending all of my in-person tours. Kim was asking all of the right questions while also making sure that everything made sense to me and that I felt comfortable throughout each step of the process. Once we had an offer accepted, she was extremely helpful and responsive as we navigated the final close process. I highly recommend using Kim and her team at Compass for any real estate activity. I am thankful that she made my entire experience feel so seamless."
★★★★★
"The home buying process would have been so much more difficult without Kim. She was thorough and exhaustive in the initial search and helped identify a multitude of options that suited our parameters. When we narrowed down listings that we wanted to visit, she promptly made the appointments and we toured them in a matter of a few days. During the touring process she was asking questions that we didn't think of, as we were new home buyers and new to the process. She really helped cover all the bases. Once we had an offer accepted, she was instrumental in guiding us through the closing process and didn't leave any stone unturned. I wholeheartedly recommend Kim and her team at Compass for any real estate activity."
★★★★★
"Kim is simply AMAZING! She is the perfect combination of personable and professional. She helped me find an apartment while I lived halfway across the country, and was even willing to attend showings on my behalf and video me in. Consistent and clear communicator, and incredibly willing to do whatever it takes to find you the right place! Anyone would be lucky to have her go to bat for you! I can't recommend Kim enough!!"
★★★★★
"Kim was an incredible, trusted partner throughout our home-buying journey. As first-time
buyers, we truly appreciated how she took the time to explain the process and set us up
for success. She listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home, helped us
weigh the pros and cons of each home, and shared valuable insights about the local
market. Kim leveraged her network to find off-market properties and skillfully guided us
through a competitive, multi-offer situation to secure our home. Her communication,
professionalism, and support continued through inspection, attorney review, and
closing. We highly recommend Kim and will absolutely work with her again for any
future real estate needs."
★★★★★
"We had an excellent experience working with Kim Kelly to sell our condo in Lincoln
Park. Her thorough market analysis and step-by-step guidance made the process
seamless. Kim’s strategic approach to counter offers helped us close over asking price
with the terms we wanted. Her commitment to marketing was outstanding, with high-
quality photos, drone footage, and videography that showcased our property beautifully.
She even coordinated follow-ups for us with an electrician after the inspection. Overall,
Kim is a dedicated realtor who truly goes the extra mile. We highly recommend her to
anyone looking to buy or sell!"
★★★★★
"Kim did an outstanding job in both the sale of our current home and the purchase of our
new one. Kim has an amazing ability to make you feel like you are her only client when
of course she has so many. She is super responsive, helped us work through many
important decisions, and has been so attentive from offer to closing and beyond. We
cannot recommend Kim more for any Chicago real estate needs. We love Kim and feel
lucky to call her our agent!"
