Kim Van Horn brings 16 years of experience and a drive to achieve her clients’ specific goals to every transaction. She has worked with hundreds of buyers and sellers, and she personally oversees every detail of their sales, educates them, and offers advice every step of the way, so clients can build trust with her and be empowered make intelligent and informed decisions for themselves.

EXPERIENCE:  Kim has managed deals on historic homes, new construction, land, flips/investments and everything in between. She has helped first time home buyers, estate heirs, investors, people moving to NC from out-of-state, and plenty of locals.  She spends time discerning her clients’ priorities because she believes that is a crucial part of her job, and then she shows them how to realize their goals.

AREA:  Kim worked for real estate agencies in Cary (for 8 years) and Durham (for 3 years) before joining Northside Realty in Raleigh 5 years ago, and she lived in Durham for 12 years and has now lived in Chapel Hill for the last 7 years -- so she stays current on trends in the whole region.  With her broad background living and working across the NC Triangle, she can help buyers understand the characteristics of all the cities, towns, and neighborhoods of the area — which helps them choose where they will be happiest, and leads to the most successful outcome.

SELLING: Kim's goal is for every house she lists for sale to go under contract within 7 days- she believes that only houses that go under contract in the first week will bring top dollar and of course that means they also close quicker- the best outcome for her sellers.  For the last 6 years, through all kinds of up and down market conditions, 85% of the houses she has listed have met that goal.   

PARTNERS:  Kim also brings to the table an “A List” roster of preferred contractors and service professionals that she’s cultivated and worked with for more than a decade; from home inspectors, structural engineers and painters, to a trusted stager and closing attorney, Kim only uses professionals that she feels are as reliable as she is, and can recommend fully vetted, top-notch partners to you for every step of your transaction.

BACKGROUND:  In 2005, Kim moved to North Carolina from Washington DC, where she first worked on Capitol Hill and political campaigns as a press secretary, and then managed marketing projects for high tech and telecom companies and non-profits. As such, she brings solid experience brokering deals and professional marketing skills to the job of being a real estate agent.

Hiring Kim Van Horn to manage your home purchase or the sale of your house means having a successful, seasoned professional effecting your transaction — one whose goal is to help her clients make the best decisions based on their needs and desires.
