We were referred to Kim from a friend and we are so fortunate to have received this recommendation!! We were looking to sell our home and from the beginning Kim listened to what we needed/wanted and guided us through everything! We had lots of work to do and Kim jumped in to secure us reliable contractors and was at the house regularly to make sure everything was on track. I know that her recommendations and BEAUTIFUL staging got us the price we were looking for after our first open house.

Kim listened to us as first time sellers, was patient and super knowledgeable. We felt confident throughout the entire process.

I could not recommend Kim enough.

We have been working with Kim for several months now in our search for a condo in Waterloo. While we have owned homes in the past, this was our first time buying a condo, and we knew nothing whatsoever about it. Kim has been so patient with us and has always been available for us. She is professional and her knowledge of the condo market and specific condo buildings in the area has taught us so much. Kim really helped us decide what locations and features are important to us, which helped us narrow down our choices. Above all, Kim is straightforward, honest and trustworthy. Her expertise in anticipating market trends guided us in putting in our best offer. We have Kim to thank for our offer ultimately being successful over other competing offers, which allowed us to get the kind of condo that we never thought was possible. Kim went above and beyond for us throughout this process and especially to make the deal happen. You are in good hands with Kim. We highly recommend her!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Kim as buyers, and now we are happy to say, also as sellers. Kim provided us with a list of small tasks we could do to increase the value of our home and did a beautiful job of staging it. The results were remarkable — we had many offers and sold our house for more than we ever imagined! After the sale, she skillfully and calmly guided us through the process of negotiating unexpected and expensive maintenance repairs with the buyers. We are truly astounded by Kim’s expertise in all manners of house and home and her professionalism. She comes with our heartfelt recommendation and we feel truly lucky to call her our REALTOR®

Kim Topp is an experienced agent who is professional, knowledgeable and creative. She gave well thought out guidance in planning and executing the sale of our house, and staged it perfectly. We received multiple offers and we were extremely pleased with the final outcome. Her assistant was also very friendly and professional. Our family would highly recommend Kim Topp as your agent.

We just purchased a house through Kim and she was an absolutely amazing REALTOR®!

First off, she was always available by phone and text and we felt like she always had our back.
Because of the other side, our purchase process wasn’t particularly smooth, but she really went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. Honestly, with the issues that we had, it would have been a lot of extra work and frustration on our part had we had another REALTOR® who wasn’t as involved. Kim did at least 40 hours of extra work for us even after the firm offer was signed.

We also found that Kim was a very honest person. She was never pushy to make the sale. She was very patient with us as we toured through many houses over the past 2 years, and offered her honest opinion regarding each of the houses.

Overall we could not have been more happy to have Kim as our REALTOR® and we whole heartedly recommend her to everybody regardless of whether you are purchasing or selling!

My experience with Kim was very good. She was patient as I looked for over a year for a place to buy. Kim was such an amazing REALTOR® and she advocated for me every step of the way to ensure I got the best place, for me. The attention to detail in every aspect of buying and selling was so appreciated. Kim was calm and organized and was willing to help guide me when things were overwhelming. I am so grateful for all that she’s done for me and I would highly recommend her.

Extremely thorough, not afraid to be blunt about issues she sees. Gives advice without overstepping. Very quick with responding and looking into things for every property. Really felt like she was on our side and showed a lot of care. Will definitely seek her help again should we sell our home.

Cameron E. (Buyer 2022)

I would recommend Kim in a heartbeat! She was incredibly thorough, anticipating and answering questions we hadn’t even thought of yet. The house we purchased wasn’t even one we had on our radar. But, after getting to know us, our price point and what we liked, she knew what to look for and then helped us seal the deal. Relocating cities is a stressful endeavour, let alone with a toddler in a pandemic… she took a tremendous weight off our shoulders, and helped us find a great home quickly. She also helped us find a mortgage broker, home inspector and contractor during the process. So helpful, when you’re new to the city and don’t know anyone. We can’t say enough about what a positive experience this was for our family. Thank you, Kim!

Kim Adema Topp worked very hard for us and we are very happy with the house she helped us find. She is honest, responsive, and very knowledgeable. We loved working with her and only have good things to say about her.  She develops good relationships with clients and has good communication.

Kim did an excellent job curating listings for me to view and keeping my needs in mind. Kim was prompt with responses and giving details and insight on what to consider when looking at places. I really appreciated how much of the scheduling and details she handled.  I would recommend her services to any other first-time homebuyer in a heartbeat. She will take your home search seriously and do her best to help you get what you want/need!

As a first-time home buyer, we felt well informed, and it was easy to ask questions.  The whole process was great.  Amazing communication from Kim, who was able to go through the whole home buying process with confidence.  Starting with video calls and being able to see houses so quickly was an amazing experience.  We will absolutely refer Kim to friends and family and talk highly of the great experience we had buying our first place.

Very knowledgable, personable and trustworthy. Working with Kim was a pleasure from start to finish. Her guidance and advice was invaluable and it lead to a very quick and successful sale.

Kim is awesome! She’s super patient and provides good recommendations on homes that interest you. She’s also very knowledgable about the area. I would recommend anyone seeking to buy a house to consider her.

Gideon T. (Buyer 2020)

From the moment we met Kim, we were impressed by her professionalism, marketing savvy, and warmth. She made the selling of our condo and purchase of another condo a much smoother process than we were expecting. We were amazed at how well her complimentary staging turned our nicely ordinary condo into a showpiece. What impressed us most about Kim is how highly she cares about her clients. She was very patient with all of our questions, and her response time to each one of them was very quick, which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Kim as your agent of choice.

Judy & Denis R. (Buyer & Seller 2020)

Kim was truly outstanding. Right from the first time we made contact, she made selling our home, and getting a good and fair price, seem easy. She made suggestions about the changes we should make to the house and provided guidance on who could best make those improvements. She was engaged with every step of the process, including the staging of the house, and always responded to our emails quickly and carefully. Kim was an absolute pleasure to work with and made what could easily be a very stressful process so much less so.

Mike C. (Seller 2020)

We really enjoyed working with Kim to buy our first home. She was patient and offered valuable insight into the houses and neighbourhoods that we looked at. She made every effort to ensure we had the relevant information to address our concerns during the home buying process.

Catherine C. (1st Time Buyer 2020)

—–

Kim is a treasure! You won’t find a more patient or pleasant person to work with. At the start of our search we weren’t sure of what we were looking for but Kim worked diligently with us until the right place came along. And when it came to selling our home Kim certainly knows the market, her timing and list price suggestions were spot on. We felt like friends rather than clients.

Gail & Don B. (Buyer & Seller 2020)

Kim was referred to us by our son, and we acknowledge that Kim is also related to us. That did not make us biased, but just comfortable. Kim felt free to be the realtor and we her clients. And in this process we retained that distinction. We were very appreciative of her professionalism, not only hers but also the team she works with. When we had a question we felt free to contact Kim and she responded almost immediately. If she did not have the answer or was not available, she either quickly found a response or notified us that she would contact us asap. Even our financial officer commented on her professionalism and promptness when information was requested. We were very happy with Kim and would recommend her as a great agent.

John A. (Buyer 2020)

Kim was great to work with through-out the entire home buying experience. As a first time owner buyer this was all completely new to me, Kim put me at ease and walked me through every step. In this very competitive market there were several properties that I made offers on and was continuously outbid. I started to become discouraged but Kim provided me with much needed reassurance and let me know I would find the perfect home for me, and I did! I’m thrilled to be starting my next chapter in my new home. I can’t thank Kim enough! I highly recommend her.

Kristie S. (1st Time Buyer 2020)

Kim was excellent to work with. She was efficient, approachable, and trustworthy. She helped us through our first time buying a house and made the process seamless and we are very happy with both the home we found and the price. She responded instantly to any communication, whether it was in the evenings, on a weekend, or on a statutory holiday. Kim was excellent in the negotiation phase and we can’t say enough positive remarks about her frankly. We have recommended her to my sister, who has also now bought through Kim’s support, a testament to our trust and positive experience working together. We would recommend her certainly.

Peter C.  (1st Time Buyer 2020)

Having been an agent myself working in Mississauga I would say that Kim is one of the best agents I know or have worked with over these years…I have bought and sold 7 homes in my lifetime and she has given me the best service, above and beyond expectations. This last home closed in the middle of the COVID-19 virus and we had to think outside of the box every day to get it closed. Kim was integral in keeping me on track and for that I thank her very much.  Diane W. (Seller 2020)

I know Kim since 2018, and I have to say that she is special at her job, loving her work. I can describe her as friendly, ethical, sophistication and trustworthy person. She represented us for buying a house for my parents last month. Kim gave us the time without pressure to make the right decision and we found one. She has always been helping us with things that are out of her work scope. Kim, thank you very much for everything. We will be in touch for any sale or purchase of a property in the future. We do appreciate all the hard work you did for us. Mohamad H. (1st Time Buyer 2020)

Professional with a personal touch. She has your best interest in mind when looking at houses.  Samantha G. (Buyer 2020)

This is the second time I bought a house, the last one was over 20 years ago. I wish Kim was there then! She guided me through the process and answered any questions I had. Always made me feel like she was available. So when I saw my new house she did everything to help make it mine.  Kerrie-Anne S. (Buyer 2019)

Kim did an excellent job at assessing our needs/wants and finding options to suit them. Kim was always available to meet at convenient times and was flexible with our schedules. Kim was extremely easy to contact and regularly showed immediate responses to emails/texts/phone calls. Every form of contact with the selling agent went smoothly and all questions were answered which were brought to Kim’s attention. Kim also provided us with excellent recommendations for all other parties needed for the overall transaction, such as home inspector, lawyer, mortgage broker, etc. Christian & Danielle T. (1st Time Buyers 2019)

Kim was the most helpful agent I have dealt with. I have moved over a dozen times in my long life and she was the best. She answered all my inquiries promptly and efficiently and always in a pleasant manner. I would highly recommend her to any other buyers.  Carol H. (Buyer 2019)

When purchasing a new home, Kim was very knowledgeable in pointing out higher end appliances and lighting fixtures, and not just run of the mill product. She checked up balances of new house warranties and did her homework in comparing recent sales in the area for similar style and size homes. When selling our old home, again she reviewed recent sales in the area and checked out our zoning area to see how it could affect sell price. She staged our home and it looked amassing with just a few changes. Between advertising, an open house on a Sat. and many showings, our house was sold in just over a week at over asking price, (which was higher than we imagined) She worked hard and we all received the perfect result. Thanks!  Ken A. (Buyer & Seller 2019)

We worked with Kim to find our new home and she was amazing! She took the time with us to really go through our list of “must have” and “wants”. Kim really helped us during walk through’s by asking us our opinions on things that I may have otherwise over looked. We would definitely recommend Kim to friends and family who are looking to sell or purchase a new home. We are so happy to have found our new family home with the help of Kim!  Vanessa Y. (Buyer 2019)

Kim was able to help stage our home and provide us with recommendations to make it more attractive to buyers. There was a time that we felt overwhelmed (buying / selling at same time makes things very busy) and Kim took the time to sit with us and help us stay focused on our goal. In a short time frame, she was able to sell our home for over asking and at a price that is allowing us to move on to the next stage of our lives. Thanks Kim Highly recommend Kim if you are thinking of buying or selling.  Marian Z. (Seller 2019)

Kim was a fantastic choice of realtor for buying our first home. She is thorough, organized, and very willing to explain things to us in an easy to understand way (and willing to answer all of our questions no matter how novice). Kim always gave her honest opinion, wasn’t pushy and in fact recommended that we move on when we were contemplating buying something that we didn’t love. When we found our home and it came to the negotiation, Kim kept us informed with all the information she knew, and was persistent in getting us the best value. We would recommend her to our friends and family, and to anyone looking for a realtor!  Stephen M. (Buyer 2019)

Kim is a stellar Realtor! She is extremely professional and dedicated to her business, but is also kind, thoughtful and very caring in her approach to helping us through the process of both preparing our home for selling and the actual selling of our home. When we hit snags along the way, she was diligent in coming up with and following through with an action plan. She made the selling of our home quick, efficient and profitable!  L&B Woolley (Seller 2019)

Kim is a fantastic agent who goes above and beyond to help get the right place for you. She has already helped buy and sell for me before and will use her again in the future!  Scott B (Buyer and Seller, 2019)

Our experience working with Kim was awesome in every way. She is knowledgeable and experienced which really helped guide us through the process of buying. Kim was so easy to work with: patient, flexible, conscientious and always there when we had questions about properties or requests for viewing. In short, Kim helped make the whole process as stress-free as possible. I highly recommend Kim!  Julie C. (Buyer, 2018)

Kim was so helpful in getting us our home, she was very thorough when we would go to a viewing, making sure there was nothing that would be a huge surprise for us. She navigated us through the offer process and gave great tips that ultimately lead to us getting a house that we love.  Aislinn P – Dec 2018

Kim was phenomenal. We heard about her through mutual friends at our church. Kim helped my husband and I find a rental about a year ago, and made sure that we got a fair deal. Because of this previous relationship, when it came time for us to buy a house, Kim was our first choice. Kim walked us through every step, as we are first time home buyers. She was extremely patient and kind when explaining the numerous details and rules. She made sure we knew all of the facts for each property and even had numbers ready to go if I asked for them. We put in many, many offers on many, many houses. Each time Kim sat with us, was available and helped us find a fair price. She was also extremely knowledgeable on each of the neighborhoods and made sure we avoided ones that wouldn’t bring a return on our investment. Kim had all of her paperwork together at all times. Kim was always on top of every detail, every signature, every initial on each document. I never had any doubts that anything would go sideways on our purchase. Kim knows her stuff and thought about things to add into the offer that I would never have thought of. Kim also gave us great recommendations for a Mortgage Broker as well as a lawyer. Both recommendations were amazing and had the same approach as Kim. I would recommend Kim with my whole heart!  Isaac and Kristen B – 2018

You’ve received a new 5-star review from Jeannette J.

We first met Kim Adema-Topp whilst she was selling a home that interested us. Kim then worked with us through the spring and summer of 2018. Kim is an extraordinarily hard worker. She is on top of every necessary detail concerning home buying and selling. Kim is an experienced realtor who has the best interests of her client as a priority. We experienced her as a person with high values and integrity. She communicates and listens well which is an important attribute when dealing with the public. You can trust Kim to go out of her way to meet her client’s needs. We would highly recommend and affirm Kim as a trusted realtor for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.   2018

You’ve received a new 5-star review from Dorothy O.

“I very much enjoyed working with Kim Adema Topp during the sale of my house. Kim, patiently led me through all the details of selling my home. Willing to repeat certain things if I did not understand. She was and is a very honest, professional, kind and gentle young lady. I would highly recommend Kim to anybody who is looking for a Realtor.”  2018

You’ve received a new 5-star review from Maricris V.

“We are first time home buyers, had very limited budget, tight schedule, and we were not even expecting to buy a home – but somehow, Kim made everything possible! Even when she was not ‘officially’ our realtor, she answered my questions (and I had a LOT), and gave references as needed. She was very efficient, made everything simple for us. I cannot thank her enough for all the help she provided to us in this process. She really goes through your requirements and needs, and offers you the best options available. You feel as if she’s a friend helping you in the process. I don’t think I can say enough words to show how appreciative I am of Kim’s help all this time- really, save yourself the trouble and just get her as your realtor!”   2018

To be completely transparent, Kim is a good friend of ours, so that is why we selected her to help us find a home in the Woodstock/Ingersoll area. I have personally had bad experiences in the past working with real estate agents, so it was very refreshing to work with Kim. She quickly obtained the picture of what we were looking for so only directed us to potential matches. We trusted Kim enough to take a look at some houses for us while we could not be there as we are about 1.5 hours away. Her assessment of potential houses was very similar to ours so we knew she had our best interests in mind. I also appreciated how Kim worked with other real estate agents getting us as much information as she could to that we could make an informed decision. Kim also knew what to look for when we were searching homes (foundation issues, windows, flooring, potential issues etc.) Another thing I/we really appreciated about Kim is that she didn’t pressure us to do something we were not comfortable with. When we purchased a home in Ingersoll with Kim’s help, she just gave us the comparables and allowed us to make the final call on what we were willing to offer. She also explained how offers and counter-offers work and what type of market we were operating in. I can’t say enough good things about Kim and would highly recommend her to you. If integrity is important to you, as it was to us, give Kim a call!    – J&D Moelker 2017

“Kim was referred to me and I could not have asked for a better experience. Kim went above and beyond the typical responsibilities of an agent. In my scenario, I was residing in Calgary and looking to buy a property in Waterloo. Working remotely with Kim worked out very well and with complete ease. She was incredibly proactive, honest, responsive and went the extra mile. I ended up buying a condo unit that required extensive renovations and she combined her past designer experience in helping select tile and hardwood flooring materials and colours, interfaced with multiple renovation contractors and provided input into new bathrooms kitchen remodel and design. I would highly recommend Kim as your next agent”.   Daryl Scheerer 2017

—–

“Kim was very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Before even becoming our agent, she took the time to explain the options to us, and was willing to work according to our schedule, even if it meant arranging for showings in the evening or on weekend mornings. She never pushed us into making decisions we were hesitant about, but was always ready to jump to work when we saw properties that we liked. We would highly recommend her.” – Tim S. 2017

Kim did an outstanding job. She was very organized and professional. Her knowledge and understanding of the market was the difference in making our experience a positive one. Just an excellent job. Thanks Kim!”  Shawn and Esther V. 2017

“I’m more than satisfied with her performance. She is an excellent agent who is rich in knowledge and passion. She always think problems in my perspective and optimize my benefit. I finally got a very good house with a comparatively low price. That’s all thanks to her effort.” – Sam Qian 2017

—–

“I recently worked with Kim to find a home, and was very impressed with her professionalism, integrity, and willingness to walk me step-by-step through what can be a difficult process of buying a home. Kim is a voice of reason in an industry that can be very crazy, a calm presence through a process that can sometimes become frantic, and a knowledgeable guide in what can be a very complicated and confusing process. Working with Kim, I always felt like I had a thorough understanding of each step in the process. I always felt like I knew what to do and what choices to make. Kim’s advice through the whole process was invaluable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”  – J. Medendorp 2016

 —–

“Kim is great! She was very helpful and informative in our search for our first house. She was able to work well under tight deadlines in the fast-moving market. We saw one house about 10 hours before the offer deadline and Kim helped us put together our first offer and submit it in time. That offer wasn’t accepted (we were one of five offers), but Kim’s research helped us set an offer price that was extremely close to the offer that was accepted for that property. When we took a second look at another property that we were considering, Kim encouraged us to also look at other properties in the same neighbourhood and price range. Through this, we found houses that were much more suited to us and we ended up purchasing one of the others we looked at that night. The house needed some work, but Kim helped us see past that to see the value of the property. We are very happy with our new home!”   S&A Brunsting 2017

“Within a few minutes of talking with Kim Topp about selling my home, I knew I was in good hands. I finally found an agent who was not only extremely professional and knowledgable but also extremely understanding of my unique circumstances. Her sound advice, tips and suggestions helped me quickly sell my house for more value than I had hoped for. Working with her gave me something else that is so hard to find in any transaction of this nature – peace of mind!”  – Ruth Odia 2016

—–

“Kim was great to work with throughout the entire buying and selling process. She did a great job listening to our feedback and provided options and homes that suited our criteria. Kim was very knowledgeable about the market and was very thorough with research and analysis on the home assessment process. She was very responsive to questions and demanding timelines and I’d highly recommend her as an agent. ” Megan B 2016

—–

Kim was a pleasure to work with and a true professional throughout the process. She was able to show us many homes that fit our criteria, as well as accommodate our schedules. I would recommend Kim to anyone looking to purchase a home, and intend on utilizing her services for any future real estate transactions.  RJ Theodorou 2016

—–

“Since we have met with Kim, our search for a home has become an easy and pleasant task. She is very professional, prompt, knowledgeable and friendly. During the search for our home, she have kept us informed and updated on the market status and trend , and during the showings, she was always discussing all the positive and the negative issues, if any, in an open and honest manner as a member of the family. Kim gained our trust because of her unique and fair way in keeping the balance between the buyer’s and seller’s interests. Kim had successfully helped us to find and secure the home we wanted through her appreciated hard work, experience and professionalism. We will definitely recommend Kim for our friends whom needs her outstanding services.” – M. Bahlool 2016

—–

“I would heartily recommend Kim to anyone in the market to buy a house. My husband and I were first time home-buyers – which meant we needed a lot of help! We were incredibly impressed with Kim because she was not even our primary realtor. Kim was serving as a back-up while our realtor was on vacation for a week….and we just happened to fall in love with our first home that very week. Kim jumped in with enthusiasm and help as she navigated us through putting an offer in on the house – she was incredible! I would recommend Kim without hesitation to family and friends looking for a trustworthy and helpful realtor.” A. Bakale 2015

“Kim was a great agent to work with. She worked hard to find homes that fit our “wish list” items and answer questions we had. Kim also gave helpful suggestions and advice when we were selling our own home.” Nicole P 2015 

—–

“I met Kim during a viewing and knew immediately she would be an excellent agent for purchasing our first home. Kim is appropriately critical, extremely knowledgeable and I’m continuously amazed at her hard work and diligence. One word that describes Kim is “integrity” – she has always acted with our best interest as her top priority. We were never pressured to buy and Kim went out of her way to make sure we made decisions based on the available facts and information. Through Kim we found our dream home, and I’ve very grateful for her help and care. Kim truly loves her job and is passionate about connecting people with homes they love. A real pleasure to work with!” – K Elworthy 2015 

—–

“Kim was tremendously  helpful when I was looking for a new home. It was getting very close to my closing date and I wasn’t having any luck finding something that I liked. When I became ill and had to cancel multiple showings, Kim even went to the list of houses I’d asked to see and made notes on each of them for me. She really paid attention to what I was looking for and was able to help me sort through the properties that were for sale. Ultimately, she found the property that I ended up purchasing. Every day, I think about how perfect it is and about how much I look forward to many years in my new home! I would highly recommend Kim. She was a great support.”  – Patti McK. 2015

—–

“Kim was very professional, approachable and helpful while we were looking at homes and was very accommodating to our schedule as we had a short window to look at homes before buying as we were from out of town. She was very helpful in pointing out concerns she noted with homes we looked at, and was honest in helping us to learn the best neighborhoods in the area.” – A. Mulder 2015

—–

“Kim was/is amazing. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with her help. She was very patient with our inexperience and questions. We had wanted to purchase a home in our area so our children could attend the same school, Kim kindly suggested some other areas where the resale value would be better (too many expired listings in our area) and we could get more bang for our buck. She took us to a number of homes, even leaving her long weekend camping trip. Patient, kind, insightful, honest and funny.”  Corey Schlueter 2015
