We had a great experience working with Kim to sell our condo. Kim took the time to understand our needs and goals with regards to the sale process and she made things as simple and straightforward for us as possible. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Kim and would recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent. - Cameron Sherratt
Reply: Thanks so much Cam!
I’m not sure where to start. It has been a crazy emotional ride during the process of being first time home buyers, my partner and I couldn’t have got through this without Kim. I highly highly recommend using Kim as your realtor. If you want someone that truthfully cares and always allows you to vent, especially knowing the ins and outs of real estate, Kim is the one for it. We will forever be grateful for Her. - Kailey Wheeler

Me and my wife decided to sell our house of almost 15 years and look for a new place to call home. And given the current volatile, risky and ever-changing times we live in we knew we needed someone with a thorough understanding of not just the aforementioned things, but also our personal expectations. As I mentioned earlier, it has been a while since we had to engage in the real estate market, so for us it was imperative that our realtor would be extremely knowledgeable, understanding of our particular situation and would have enough experience to handle difficult situations or complications if they were to arise. When we chose Kim as our realtor (for the sale and the purchase process) we got all the things mentioned above and then some! I have rarely met anyone - real estate agent or not - who possesses such professionalism, patience, intelligence and conviction in her ideas and understanding of the current real estate market as she does! I'm also guilty of being easily excited by nature, and this trait of mine showed itself more often than usual during this time, but Kim's impressive self composure and calm reassured me that we're in good hands. This made the entire process stress free, and for me that's a big win! If, as expected, you might have doubts about realtors in general and their trustworthiness, then take my word for it: cast those doubts aside and hire Kim! Not only will you hire probably one the best agents in the are, but you might also have the pleasure to gain the acquaintance of a wonderful person, as I have! - Radu B.
Reply: Omg Radu. Thank you so much for that review. I’m feel the same about guy folks. Just lovely people
Kim was amazing to work with. She made this process so easy and stress free. She ensured every decision was made with our best interest in mind and communicated very clearly with us every step of the way. As a first time home buyer, I thought this process would be very overwhelming and scary, Kim makes sure you understand and are comfortable during each step. I would highly recommend Kim for any services you may need whether you are buying or selling! - Kendall Jardin

Kim was a dream to work with! My siblings and I were faced with selling my mother’s home after she passed away.

Being from out of town I needed a local realtor with knowledge of the KW area and Kim was that and so much more. She found me the right house in the right area with all the local amenities I asked for. A pleasure to deal with, very responsive, very professional. I highly recommend her. - Lynda Schrag
Reply: Thank you Lynda! Hope your girls and you are very happy in your new home!
Its been a pleasure working with Kim in finding my home. The minute I connected with Kim she was very prompt and continuously send out potential listings that met my search criteria. Even when she was not in town, she made it a priority to make sure she had another agent that could take and show me the listing, so that I didn’t miss out in the event that I wanted to put in an offer. While the property that I put an offer on came with some huge challenges/obstacles, Kim was able to quickly solve the issues, resulting in a successful closing. Overall, Kim is a hardworking, driven and professional agent, who is amazing at what she does. I would definitely work with Kim again in purchasing another property and would recommend her to anyone who is in the market of selling/buying a property. - Rita Mayani
Reply: Thank you Rita…. Big challenge but we got through it

We are so grateful to Kim for her time and dedication in finding us an incredible space to live in. A family of four, we are completely new to the Kitchener- Waterloo region with no prior connections there and already we are feeling so excited and comforted by our plans to move thanks to Kim. From the moment that we reached out, Kim responded right away and continued to be readily accessible at all times of the day throughout the week for any and all of our questions . She was wonderful at asking us the right questions to better understand our needs and aspirations for a new home. Kim made us feel like a priority. She provided us with many properties to review and when visiting in person, gave honest reflections as well as reservations on all aspects of the homes we were interested in. She even managed to include the option of an unlisted condo- which ended up being the perfect fit for our family. Kim recognized the importance of our family needs in terms of neighbourhoods and schools and went above and beyond to research them in depth to reassure us about the quality of both. She even called the schools personally to double check on whether there would be enough room in the schools to admit a new student mid- year. Kim's familiarity with the Kitchener- Waterloo region was very reassuring to us and I know that we will feel comfortable reaching out to her for help in navigating our time here in the future. - Fia Darroch
Reply: Thank you for trusting me with your relocation. Congrats on your new adventure!
Kim is an excellent real estate agent with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. At any given moment, we were able to reach her and discuss our home situation. She responded to all of our messages and phone calls immediately, and was a pleasure to work with. She provided us with detailed descriptions of various neighborhoods across the KW region, which greatly helped our decision to move. She helped us negotiate down the monthly rental cost of our home significantly (during a time where the rental market was hot!). She took on us on a tour of several properties in the evening with short notice. She made us feel as though we were her only clients, despite how busy she clearly was. She also managed to secure us a viewing of a highly sought-after property before the general public, which ended up being our home. She is very friendly and easy to communicate with, and we would certainly use her services again, if the opportunity arose. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Kim! - Justin
Reply: Oh wow Justin. Thank you. Fia and yourself were lovely to work with. Cant wait to work with you again.
Great agent! Honest, hard working, knows her stuff and knew how to negotiate our deal. Highly Recommend Kim Schaffer if your looking for a realtor who you can trust. We will and have already recommended her to our friends who are thinking of selling. - Thomas K
Reply: Thank you Tom and Gert… your the best

I’ve decided to write a review about Kim for so many reasons. I had decided to switch from a prior agent I had used and found Kim through a Facebook post. Best decision ever. When I called, she answered, always. When I needed advice she had the answers or found the answers, always. She was prompt and did everything she promised, always. Even told me things I didn’t want to hear…always! She was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. Integrity was second to none. She made the whole situation, which personally, wasn’t a good one, an enjoyable situation. It took us awhile to find the exact house but she kept in touch with me daily and sent me new homes to consider daily as well. When it came to purchasing she set me up with a mortgage broker from NS who was fantastic and had me approved immediately. She even referred a mover to me. I mean she is and was the whole package! You want a really great agent and nice person who knows her stuff…. Use Kim. Thanks again for your help Kim. Will use you always as my agent of choice - Rose
Reply: Thank you so much. Very much enjoyed meets and working with you.

Working with Kim Schaefer was pleasant and enjoyable. We have chosen Kim among other realtors to sell our townhouse because we wanted to have a thoughtful partner in this huge project for us. We wanted to renovate our previous place of family gatherings and future planning to prepare it for its new life with the new owners. The whole time Kim committed her professionalism and all possible recourses; she answered all our questions and represented us in the real-estate market competently. Experienced realtor, Kim did a great job and now we are happy sellers. Astute and friendly Kim was a great partner in our project. Highly recommend Kim as your future realtor agent. - Iryna Kim is amazing! It was a real pleasure to work with her! We were pleasantly surprised by the involvement that she had in our project. She basically helped us to oversee the renovations of our townhouse before the sale. We have a young child and aging parents, so we didn’t have enough time on our hands to deal with the renovations before listing our townhouse. So, we are super happy that we have found Kim and she was able to help us with everything! Also, she had all the contacts of the tradespeople who were needed for the project (painting, replacing countertops, cleaning, plumbing, fixing stuff, staging, etc…), so we didn't have to spend time on that. Furthermore, Kim helped us with things that are not related to selling our townhouse (for example she found a job for my father-in-law :)), so she always does more than you expect from a typical agent. We will definitely recommend Kim to all our friends and relatives who will need to buy or sell real estate in KW. - Alex - Iryna & Alex

Kim is truly EXCEPTIONAL. Selling and buying a property is meant to be a stressful process. Kim's promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, good energy made a potentially chaotic purchase process simple. Kim was ALWAYS available for home tours. Her responsiveness was incredible. From the first day that we met, she spent her entire evening walking us through the entire process. The amount of effort and time she put into walking us through the process of selling and buying is unbelievable. Kim was always available to provide us with the information that we needed – every decision that we made, big or small, mattered to her. Not only did I feel like we had all the information we needed to make those decisions, but I also felt like we were in great hands. We can't happier with how quickly we've found our forever home. We simply couldn't recommend her highly enough! - Delia
Reply: Oh wow Delia! I was just so happy I was able to help you find that beautiful home! Thank you for trusting me with the process
