Kim was an excellent broker and I highly recommend her to any buyer in the Westport area. She knows so much about the town and neighboring communities. She is extremely patient and knowledgeable and also helped us find local contractors to do our home renovation project. She is an amazing resource!

Kim Harizman , a partner with KMS, helped me sell two houses and buy two houses in a 3 year period . Kim did more than support us through the process. She helped connect us to professionals needed on each property and came prepared at each meeting with questions and concerns that we had not thought to ask. While I hope to be done moving, I would use Kim again and highly recommend her.

We met Kim at an Open House in Westport, CT a number of years ago. Kim was immediately easy to talk to, approachable and made us feel at ease. It was apparent that she was an intelligent professional who knows the real estate market in the greater Westport area. Kim was honest with us and shared the drawbacks of purchasing this home which was not up to flood standards. She has demonstrated this honesty and integrity through out our professional relationship.

She introduced us to a new development and was perceptive enough to know that it might have been a good fit for us. Fortunately, we were outbid on this project, but she kept in touch with us without being overly pushy.

Kim encouraged us to consider Bankside House which was not on our radar. She assisted us in selecting the best unit within our budget and made the deal happen with her excellent negotiations skills.

For the last 2+ years, Kim has been responsible for being the liaison between us and the developers. All correspondence and site visits were arranged by Kim who was extremely accommodating and flexible. The few times that she was not available, her associates at Compass filled in and were equally helpful. No question or issue was too small or insignificant to follow through on. We were able to communicate with Kim who responded promptly and conveyed whatever information we needed. We also feel fortunate to have developed a warm friendship with Kim which was a bonus to us as well.

In summary, Kim is an extremely knowledgeable and capable real estate agent. We feel that clients can trust her to steer them in the appropriate direction and fulfill all the necessary responsibilities needed in the purchase and sale of a home.

We would highly recommend her!

Dear Kim –

Nancy and I both believe that you did an excellent job shepherding us through the, what turned out to be an extended process of buying our ideal home for this next stage of our lives. As you know, our interest started very early when only construction fencing surrounded the property. Back in early 2021 on our walks on Wilton Road, we wondered what would be built here and how much the units would cost. Those questions were answered certainly to our satisfaction when the brochures becameavailable. Our early meetings with you provided confidence that the quality of the finished product would be outstanding, even though at that time, everything was still in the “architects drawings” phase.

As you know, it did not take much convincing that this was where we wanted to live, but you did make our final decision an easy one. While the time between contract signing (June 30, 2021) and occupancy (October 11, 2023) was “somewhat” longer than anticipated, you did keep us informed of its progress and the labor and supply chain issues. Weather, I remember, also played a part, but these were all things that were out of everyone’s control. You helped us decide on some of the finishing touches and were also available whenever we wanted to visit the site to check on progress. Overall, we believe that you handled our purchase of our unit very well. We cannot think of what could or should have been done differently.

We have been living here now for nearly 3 months, and while we have been working through some of the minor kinks that all new construction experiences, we could not be happier. Thank you for your part in making this happen.

—Nancy and David Tillson

Our experience with Kim, as the realtor representing Bankside House, was wonderful. She was forthright, patient, and flexible in meeting our needs. It was a pleasure working with her.

—Jill Gordon & Jim Simon

Total professional! There was no-one else I would have listed my home with because I knew Kim would handle the deal from start to finish with the experience and steady hand we needed when we were asked to relocate to the UK quickly for work.

Kim is an incredible agent. As first time homebuyers, my husband and I were pretty clueless. We had an idea of what we wanted, but were also constantly changing our minds. Kim seemed to really get us from the start and point us in the right direction. She is extremely knowledgeable, and on our long, protracted search, I noticed she knew A LOT more than most of the other agents showing the homes.

When we first embarked on this process, we didn’t fully understand or appreciate the value that a real estate agent could add. After working with Kim, we realized how valuable an extraordinary agent can be. She knows what questions to ask at showings, many things we would have never have thought of. She was also extremely honest - we were getting a little desperate toward the end of our search, but Kim would be straight with us if she felt the home wasn't right for our needs. She never tried to convince us to get something that wouldn't work. It truly felt like a team approach.

When we finally found our dream home, Kim's guidance was invaluable. We had to give a best and final offer on a very competitive home. Kim did the research and gave us her honest opinion, including much appreciated hard numbers, and never tried to push us over our limits. And we got the house over 10 other offers! Beyond actually obtaining our home, Kim was integral throughout the closing process, giving us her input and advice during inspection, navigating the mortgage and legal components, and even helping us find a mover!

Personality wise, Kim is so lovely and nice to be around. She is extremely approachable and easy to work with. If you are looking for a home in the Weston/Westport/Wilton/Fairfield area, I can't imagine an agent in the area better than Kim.

Thanks for helping us find our dream home Kim!

Kim Harizman is the consummate professional; knowledgeable, prepared and sincere. From beginning to end, and every step along the way, she was responsive and creative in addressing issues and answering questions. Kim sold our house and found us the perfect solution for an older couple downsizing. We consider ourselves fortunate to have worked with Kim and would recommend her without reservation. — Avonne Seideman

Kim helped us purchase a very special property on the Bermuda Lagoon. Although we weren't officially 'looking', Kim knew that we were entertaining the idea of moving close to the water. She kept us in mind for close to a year until the situation was right for us.

The transaction was a full of complications, but Kim was unwavering in her dedication and calmly and smoothly negotiated all of the pitfalls that arose. Few brokers would have been able to navigate the situation with an outcome of satisfied parties and good feelings on both sides. Kim is a consummate professional with access to extensive contacts including attorneys, soil scientists, sea wall inspectors, architects, and builders to name a few. Kim continues to help us even today - a year after the sale was completed. We are grateful to Kim for finding our dream home, and know that it never would have happened without her.
