When I first spoke to Kim, she told me she will get us the house that we want. And when other agents saw us with Kim, they'd say "OH she's GOOD" or "she'll take really good care of you." She kept her word and lived up to the high expectations set by her peers. Kim and her team are a dream team. She was incredibly patient with us which is HUGE because we're NOT easy clients. Her attention to detail and due diligence throughout the process of searching and getting us our new home certainly sets her apart from the rest. She's professional but also super personable too--she gets it even without really having to tell her (i.e. it's the little things that add up like when she made documents from our escrow company e-sign friendly to save me from printing, signing and scanning because she knew how tired I've been as a mom to a toddler while pregnant)! If you're looking for a house, especially in North Tustin, you need Kim on your side! Thank you Kim and The Harvey Team!! read more

Kim Harvey is OUTSTANDING!!! I've had some challenging situations, and Kim is always level-headed, knowledgeable, responsive, and extremely thorough. She knows her contracts, gives helpful advice and always follows through, promptly and professionally. You couldn't be in better hands than trusting Kim with all your real estate needs. read more

Kim is the real deal. Her focus is 100% on getting you into the "right" home - whatever that may be for you. There is no pressure or push - every conversation, everything viewing, every offer placed was all based on getting us what we needed - no judgement. On top of this, Kim and her team (hey Lyndsi!!), are super professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable. We ended up purchasing a home in the same neighborhood Kim suggested during our initial discussions (but ignored her advice and spent 3 months all over the place). She was right to begin with - when I asked her about this she said "It's all a process, without discovering all those areas and seeing all those homes, you would never have a reference to know that this neighborhood was the right one for you." Talk about grace and patience. When asked for advice - Kim will always give you her honest opinion - knowing that what was important to you may not be what she personally would prioritize. We have had such a good experience we have chosen to not only purchase with Kim, but list our current home as well. read more

Seven Gables Real Estate is by far one of the best brokerages in Orange County. Kim Harvey is one of the reasons for that. I am writing this review not as a client of Kim's but as a fellow peer. I've been in the real estate business for over ten years, and it's always refreshing to work with someone like herself. We recently worked together on a sale in West Floral park in which she represented the seller, and I represented the buyer. She was extremely professional, easy to work with, and always communicated timely. This entire transaction was on autopilot. As agents, we always want 5-star reviews from clients in hopes that prospective clients see them and chose us as their realtors when the time comes. It's important for prospects to see that our clients are happy; however, it's also crucial that YOU, as the buyer or seller, understand how we work with other agents. The same way buyers and sellers work with people they like; agent's do as well. The bad part is that buyers/sellers get the short end of the stick when they work with that one agent that no one likes. Kim is NOT that person. You'd be well served to work with her. It's agents like herself that make our industry a better place! Thank you, Kim, for being such an excellent agent to work with. I hope to work with you again. See you on the next one! :) read more

I do not recommend anyone buy anything from Kim Harvey! She takes advantage of out of state property owners who rely on her honesty and integrity during the listing of ones home! She has lied and manipulated property owners by giving false reports of the homes condition in order to boost her profits. Kim Harvey of Seven Gables Real Estate exaggerated repairs bringing thousands of dollars worth of upgrades to a home that did not need fixing, and even had the audacity to after owners paid for new items,, put the old items back! KIM HARVEY lied about broken windows , door locks, light fixtures, wiring, draperies, stove top burners and exhaust fan, , garage door openers, smoke detectors dishwashers , refrigerators and much much more !! BE AWARE !! Spend the airfare to see for yourselves the condition of your property , don't take the word or photo shopped pictures from another Kim Harvey!! read more

From the moment we met Kim Harvey, we knew that she would handle the sale of our home in a professional, fair, and thorough manner. She walked us through this process and led us down the path to success. She got the word out that our home was available for purchase and we received 11 offers in just a few days! When it came to all the legal details, Kim was excellent in communicating with us. We felt like we were always kept in the loop and that we had options and choices rather than feeling stuck with whatever circumstances came our way. The sale of our home was a comfortable process and we would use Kim Harvey again and recommend her 100%! read more

Kim Harvey just helped us find and buy our new home on Lido Isle. What a gem! She was always there when we needed her, always cheerful and helpful with great insights to all the neighborhoods we were considering. Even after we decided on the house she has still been wonderful with great resources and professionals that we needed to fix, paint, and find all the services in order to make the house the reality that we wished. She has made this process much smoother than any previous realtor we have used. read more

If you want a real realtor that is professional, knowledgeable and hard working, here she is! I had to move for work and after using her years ago to buy my house I contacted her to help sell the house. She convinced me against my judgment to stage the house. Thank you Kim for helping me see the value! The house looked amazing and had 3 offers in the first 2 days included offers over asking price. Because of my move I had limited time to handle things at the house. Kim actually went over to my house several times to get things for me as well as take 5 boxes to shredding for me when I got stuck out of state on a business trip. Use Kim Harvey! read more

Kim was such a pleasure to work with, and I will absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home. She walked us through every step of the process with patience and expertise. Kim proactively followed up with all parties on a regular basis, to make sure our timing stayed on track. Kim always made herself available and worked around our hectic schedule. I know she has other clients, but she was never too busy for us--we always felt prioritized and she was available for questions or assistance whenever needed. I appreciated that she went the extra mile to ensure that we had a smooth transition into our new home. Thank you Kim!! We love our home! read more

Kim is an incredible agent. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, thoughtful and informed (these are not all of the same qualities!). She is very patient. We had many conversations about if and/or when to sell or rent. She guided us through every step and when we were asked by a buyer "what it would take to get it off the market", Kim suggested a price higher than we would have gone and the buyer accepted it. Her team is stellar, as are all of the vendors she referred us to. She always made herself available, responding quickly to texts and calls. She has good professional instincts about buyers and their agents which made for a flawless, comfortable and happy closing sale. We have bought and sold many homes and Kim is by far the best agent with whom we've ever worked. read more

Woohoo! as good as it gets! We found ourselves very lucky the day we stumbled upon Kim Harvey about 15 years ago. If details, details, details are important to you, she is your agent. She is more than competent, knowledgeable, forgets nothing, never late for an appointment, persistent, a very clever negotiator, very easy to work with and probably the most important characteristic to us, maintains the highest level of integrity. Her knowledge of the Orange County real estate market is unbelievable. We just finished up our third home purchase with Kim. There were five other good offers on the table and from the start where she helped us find the best location and home, expertly prepared the purchase agreement to our best advantage, through the escrow process and closing, every minute detail was handled timely and with proficiency. Not only did she perform her duties, but when the sellers' agent failed to do what he was supposed to do, Kim took care of those issues also. She was available to us for questions at all times of the day and on the rare occasion when I left a message, her response was shortly delivered. Things that we thought were problematic, Kim took in stride and calmly handled. This sale could have easily gone to the cash purchaser and we know the only reason we prevailed was due to our agent. We could not be happier with the results. Kim is the best! read more

From the first time I met Kim, I felt that I was in the most caring of hands. It was clear to me that she cared more about my well-being than simply about having a sale. Throughout this past year, as I prepared my house for sale, she was at my side. My house went on the market the weekend after Super Bowl Sunday, and by the following Tuesday, I was signing papers. Because of her excellent advice and guidance, my house sold for $25K more than I had hoped for. I consider Kim to be not only my realtor par excellence but also my friend. Thank you, Kim and team! read more

I was looking to rent an apartment/guesthouse and Kim listed her client's guesthouse for rent and I jumped at the opportunity when I saw it on Zillow! Kim was very responsive, even on the weekend, and made the entire process from showing me the guesthouse to signing the lease a very easy and may I say, FUN process! She is very personable, honest, professional and accommodating, basically the kind of agent you would want to work with and in general, the kind of person you would want to interact with. This was very important to me because looking to rent a place (the right place!) is not something easy so when you have someone to make the process fun and easy and everything goes smoothly, then you carry that energy into your new home. I am very happy I got to work with Kim and would highly recommend her! read more

Kim and her team are the most incredible people I've ever met. It's amazing when people who are supposed to care, actually do care. Kim is thorough, detailed, caring, polite and professional. My husband and just got married and had our baby boy last year and Kim and her team found us the most perfect home. She is our realtor forever and we can't thank her enough for everything she's done for us and our family! read more

During all of the stressors that naturally come with simultaneously selling and buying a home, Kim provided us with an experience that made us feel assured, excited and empowered to make informed decisions about our move. One thing that we really appreciated was Kim's responsiveness. She would promptly respond to our questions and was consistently detailed about the tasks that we needed to address. She even checked-in with us regularly while she was on vacation in Europe! Kim was never pushy, was aware of what our needs were and always made sure that no time was wasted looking at houses that wouldn't work for us. During escrow, she got us everything that we asked for. Her kind, honest personality created a professional experience that made us feel valued and well resourced. We are grateful that we were able to work with Kim and her team. read more

Kim has been an invaluable partner with us during the preparation of our house for sale. Her knowledge of the local market and contractors helped us quickly get the house ready for showings. She was very knowledgeable about the other houses currently for sale and those that are being prepared for sale, so she knew how we should price the house. She did a great job advertising the house and vetting the buyer. We had a full price offer the first day the house was on the market and it closed without any drama within thirty days. Kim is a great communicator and we always felt she was in complete control of the process. We are so glad we had the opportunity to work with her! read more

Kim has helped our Family with multiple real estate transactions and has always catered to our specific needs in the most professional way. She's always available at the drop of a hat and makes an effort to understand the situation at hand so she can deliver the most appropriate solution. We have used Kim for several purchases and she even did a wonderful job finding quality tenants for a rental as well. If you're looking for a realtor look no further than Kim. Any realtor that earns multiple listings from repeat customers has proven to be trustworthy, diligent, and effective. We plan to continue to work with Kim and look forward to it! read more

Kim gave us a lot of guidance on the sale of our home of 32 years. She was very easy to work with knew our market and who our potential buyer would be. She always kept us up to date, advised us of market changes and was very helpful in recommending what we should do to make our home ready for the sale. We highly recommend her. Kim was recommended to us by our friend who was a previous client of hers. No hesitation at all. Helen & Glenn read more

Kim Harvey was my agent for my recent home sale in Orange. I can't recommend Kim enough. In a challenging market, she never lost her enthusiasm and positive attitude in marketing my home. She was a pillar of professionalism throughout the entire experience and supported me completely as I struggled with the process, navigated offers and worked though the final sale. I can't imagine working with another agent and I highly recommend Kim to anyone who wants an experienced and dedicated agent on their side. read more

Kim Harvey of Seven Gables Real Estate did a fantastic job on the sale of our house in Tustin, making a breeze what expected to be a stressful and complicated process. The sale was particularly challenging to us because we live about an hour away (if the traffic is light), and the house required a lot of work. But Kim took responsibility for absolutely everything, which was a tremendous relief for us as both my wife and I work full time. During the entire sale process I only came to Tustin once, and even that was not really necessary. Boy, did she earn her commission! Beyond the standard sales agent chores such as market analysis, sales strategy and pricing, staging, listing, house showing, etc., she handled all the considerable work to get the house in shape, including inspections, prioritizing the repairs and upgrades, negotiating with and securing the many needed professional services, and verifying the repairs. Throughout the process she kept us continuously informed, so that we felt completely comfortable and in control. She was very easy to reach, very informative whenever we had a question, and extremely accommodating to our needs and concerns. Kim seems to know the Tustin real estate world inside and out and is very well connected to agents, lenders, and related businesses. She was able to provide us inside information on the financial situation and loan prospects of the potential buyers, which was useful and reassuring. Under her guidance we ended up receiving multiple offers above the asking price, and the escrow closed promptly and without a hitch. Every step in the process was explained, and nearly all documents were signed and exchanged electronically. It couldn't have gone better. We strongly recommend her real-estate services to anyone in the Tustin area. read more

I have worked with Kim Harvey both as a seller and most recently as a buyer in Tustin Ranch. Kim's patience - as I shopped - and her perseverance - as she negotiated my purchase - are unmatched. Kim has the right combination of professionalism and warmth to guide buyers and sellers through a challenging process. She is quick to respond and stays on top of the transaction from offer through closing. You will love working with Kim and her team! read more

Kim Harvey listed my condo and the sale just closed escrow. Now that it's all wrapped up, I can't commend her professionalism highly enough. She did a great job marketing my condo and supporting me through the entire selling experience. I would definitely seek out her services again the next time I need a real estate agent and I recommend her to anyone else selling or buying a home. read more

We expected that moving from Florida to SoCal would be a major ordeal. And indeed, the packing and moving van experience was awful. But finding a house in OC was the most lovely experience thanks to Kim Harvey and her team. We had just one weekend to get the job done. And with any other realtor we probably could not have found our new home so fast. Kim dedicated an entire weekend and managed to show us exactly what we were looking for at virtually every stop. We didn't waste a moment. We honestly felt like she was an old friend. She just got us. And boy does she know her profession. Once the right house was found, she handled every aspect of the transaction from negotiating, to explaining the nuances of California real estate law to getting the house checked out and repaired where needed. In fact she saw things we'd totally missed. Now that we're settled in the house she remains an important resource to find service providers. Kim and her team are the best and most caring realtors we have ever experienced -- and we have purchased numerous home over the years. read more

This is the second home we've bought with Kim Harvey.  Real estate is complicated, especially in these times.  With Kim, you only need to worry about getting loan approval and selecting your home.  She takes care of everything else.  That's why we keep coming back, she handles all of the complicated details and gets the deal done! read more

Buying or selling a house can be an overwhelming and stressful experience but Kim made the entire process enjoyable vs. a tedious task. I had been looking for quite some time for the "perfect" home. Working under the constrains of a market low in inventory and high in buyers, Kim kept a watchful eye and was diligent in getting me into homes as soon as they came on the market. She gave me honest feedback on values and expertly navigated the choppy waters of real estate in a very unique and difficult market. Kim demonstrates the highest level of professionalism, honesty and integrity and goes "above and beyond" to ensure she matches every client with the best possible home. She knows the Tustin area inside and out and provided great guidance regarding the different neighborhoods and kept me focused on the areas that matched my wish list. She supplied information about specific builders and quality of construction to ensure I knew what I would be buying into. Kim is quick to return calls and never out of reach. She is always on time-- if not early-- for appointments. She follows through on EVERY detail, including the smallest! She's even been a great resource for service repairmen and craftsman. I couldn't be more pleased with my home purchase and I owe it all to Kim! You won't find anyone better! read more

First time home buyer experience was flawless. Kim showed me a bunch of homes to help me narrow down exactly what I was looking for. And when we found the right one, we were able to get a great deal. She was with me every step of the way with lender, seller, and any other communications needed. read more

We were lucky enough to be referred to Kim through a realtor friend in San Diego. Needless to say, we were extremely pleased and thankful for the introduction to Kim and her team. Although we had already secured an agent to help us with the sale of our home, she was more than willing to help us find our new home. Her expertise, responsiveness, willingness to work around our hectic schedules and attention to detail was everything we could have asked for in an agent. I would highly recommend Kim and her team to anyone needing help with the sale or purchase of their home. I know we'll be using her again for our next purchase. Thanks Kim and Chloe! :) read more

"Kim took the responsibility out of my hands and literally took care of everything. Everything happened when she said it would. She predicted when we would get calls and when we would see traffic. She handled the screening and qualifying of candidates and did all the heavy lifting for me. I would highly recommend Kim for all your real estate needs." read more

I am in the real estate industry too. So I know a good real estate agent and one that isn't worth their weight in salt. Kim is a professional and is great at finding the right home and/or getting your home sold at the best price at a timely manner. The best part is that she and her team are very pleasant to work with through out the process. This is great, because buying or selling a home can be tricky, so it's great to have someone like Kim and her team to navigate you through it. read more

I was referred to Kim from a good friend and selected her to help me sell my home in Irvine. She kept me updated on all showings and feedback, and market activity throughout the process. I felt that I was in great hands from start to finish, and had a super smooth escrow with the buyers we selected. With her help I got my home sold in perfect time to move to my newly built home without any glitches. She was a great resource and help throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her and her teammate Lyndsi to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. read more

She replies to emails and texts quickly and is always on top of things to make the purchase go faster. Loved her suggestions and her experience in the market. Great Realtor!!! Thanks Kim!!! read more

We had to find and buy a house in a handful of weeks, and we lived 90 minutes away, so it wasn't the easiest thing in the world. Plus the process is just stressful to begin with. Kim was fantastic throughout the entire process. She was helpful about sending us house listings ahead of time, and constantly focusing and refining the search based on our feedback. She was flexible about meeting with us and our time constraints, and she and Chloe were very helpful about navigating the murky and frustrating escrow process. We hope to never move again, but if we had to move again within the Orange County area, we'd definitely use Kim again. read more

We've just completed our 4th transaction with Kim representing us as our agent in selling our home, and helping us buy another. Kim is very easy to work with and provides professional and timely advice and service as an experienced agent. Whenever we encountered challenges along the way, she helped advocate and mediate in order to see the transaction through as smoothly and as stress-free as possible for her client. We also appreciated working with the loan and escrow officers within her network because they all work well together as a team to help make the transactions go quickly and smoothly. Kim's use of technology and her organizational skills also helped keep all the complex paperwork in order. She is very committed to her clients and our household gladly recommends her to anyone. read more

Wow what an amazing job Kim did!! I called her because my buyers who were moving to Vegas were having a terrible time selling their home in Tustin. She came in and sold it in just a week! Our clients weren't the most technologically savvy so Kim was working so hard getting docs signed on both sides. Everything went smooth as silk. From the bottom of our hearts on behalf of me, our clients, and The Schilling Group...Thank you!!!! read more
