"My wife and I are both busy professionals with three young boys, so having an agent that could work with our crazy schedules was a must. We also wanted an agent that was an expert in the east metro housing market. Kim exceeded our expectations in both of these regards. Kim was always available whether live on the phone, via email, or through text messaging. Kim even met me at the home we eventually purchased on Christmas Eve to let me do another walk-through before we made an offer. We relied heavily on Kim to give us her expert opinion on the various communities in Woodbury as they can seem very similar and confusing to families like us who were unfamiliar with the area. Kim also went up and beyond in giving us detailed information on the many school options, both public and private, in the Woodbury area." back to top

"Working with Kim was a very positive experience. I found her very professional and knowledegable, supportive and easy to work with. She was respectful of personal tastes and helpful with the stress of moving. I would list or buy from Kim again!" back to top
Tony & Summer Eger - Stillwater
" I was relocating my family from Sioux Falls, SD to Stillwater, MN. As this was my ninth relocation in 18 years with my company I was no rookie to the home buying experience and have had my share of less than stellar real estate "professionals" . Kim really took the time to get to know my families needs instead of just showing us homes at the top end of my price range. Kim made this relocation the most stress free by far from a home buying standpoint. Kim did all the leg work and concentrated on the homes we really would be interested in. Kim's knowledge of the market and her expertise of the Real Estate profession is second to none." back to top
Nick Cress, Woodbury
"Kim was absolutely outstanding and I am usually a very "tough grader." We had a trying family situation and she navigated the entire process very well in a pathetic housing market.
She was always available and got everything done before I asked. Fantastic. " back to top
Nick & Meagan Weber, West Lakeland
"Working with Kim was like working with someone I've known for years. My wife and I were split between buying a home or building a new home on acreage and Kim helped guide us through the process. She helped us look for land and get quotes to build. She exhausted all avenues and helped us determine that building was not for us. Kim took the time to listen to our want's and need's and with her vast knowledge of the area was able to pin point a neighborhood and a home that fit us perfectly.
John & Julie Servatius
"There's not a more responsive realtor on the planet. It's true. Kim really know the neighborhoods and has a really good handle on this ever-changing, ever-volatile market. She thinks of every detail. You will never have to wonder what's going with your house search or with your purchase negotiation. She'll have called you back before you even hit send." back to top

"In this very difficult real estate market, Kim Ziton has proven to be an expert beyond anything we could have hoped for. Her tireless dedication, innovative ideas and pure determination are the reason we sold our home. I have been the Division President for three Minnesota home building companies, and have been in the business since 1980. I wish I had Kim on my sales and marketing team at any of those companies, as she would have been the undisputed leader!" back to top
Amy Ballinger
"I have been in the relocation industry for over 13 years and know the challenges; however, Kim made the process seamless. She never assumed, always asked the right questions and all paperwork was entirely in order from the listing to the offer. She provided informative updates I needed to make listing decisions to procure a buyer. I highly recommend her as an agent and I know that she will work as an advocate for both her relocation company and her seller.
William Milbauer, Woodbury
"Kim Ziton takes being a realtor to a level of professionalism that was beyond my expectations. As a busy executive, I really appreciate responsiveness, intelligence, hard work and professionalism. Kim exceeded my expectations in each of these areas and made the process very easy for me. Her marketing materials and overall campaign were incredibly impressive and unlike anything I've seen before. She understood my needs and approached the home sale with incredible energy, creativity and enthusiasm.
Whenever I needed Kim, her responsiveness and effort exceeded my expectations by a long shot. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone interested in buying or selling a home." back to top
Therace Risch, Shoreview
"Thank you so much for selling my home. In this market, all home owners that are hoping to sell need a realtor that will go "above and beyond" the call of duty. You certainly did that when selling my home - - whether it was the thoughtful time you spent ensuring my home was staged properly to the consistent follow-up with each "looker" that had any interest to the fair, but tough negotiation that you worked through for the final sale. I know I am not your only client, but through my selling process, you sure made me feel that way. Thank you!!!" back to top
David and Wendy Kunz, Woodbury
"We were very pleased by the representation we received from Kim Ziton in the sale of our home. She followed up on all showings and obtained timely feedback. She did an excellent job of monitoring market conditions and was straightforward in recommending a realistic price for our house. We were fortunate to sell our house in less than nine months in a housing market where listings of a year or longer are not uncommon. We felt a strong sense of commitment from her in the sale of our house. Her attention to detail, professional manner and continuous follow-up were obvious throughout the process. Kim's hard work, dedication and excellent communications helped us feel good about selling and leaving our home. We would certainly have Kim represent us in any future home sales." back to top
Scott and Lori Mallory, Inver Grove Heights
"Not like anyone else I know. A true standout and compliment to the real estate profession. Kim assisted me with locating a location and subsequently building with Kootenia Homes. She is personable, professional, understands her market and knows quality and value. Kim isn't just trying to sell you something to "get the deal and a commission." I felt she was interested in me finding a "home" that I would value and enjoy. I consider Kim a business associate and a friend. Relationship and service after the sale have been just as strong as when I was working with her during the process. How many real estate agents can you consider as a friend? Call Kim, but hold on to your socks as she is motivated and has more energy than anyone I know.
A true professional." back to top

Steve and Diane Mog, Woodbury
"We had the chance to work with Kim Ziton in the fall of 2001. Kim, a sales representative for Kootenia Homes, sold us our lot and facilitated our building plans. This was an unusual undertaking because it was a long distance project. Steve was living in the Twin Cities, while I stayed in Pennsylvania until January 2002. Kim was our go to person throughout the buying and initial building process. We couldn't have had a successful project without her.
Kim was extremely professional throughout our experience with her and Kootenia Homes. She was very accessible and followed up on any question or concern promptly, which was so important during our project. Kim always went above and beyond what she needed to do to make sure we were satisfied customers!
We would highly recommend Kim Ziton as a real-estate sales consultant. Her attention to detail is her greatest strength!" back to top
Lesa Hobright-Turner, Woodbury
"We had a wonderful experience with Kim when we built our Kootenia home. Her experience in the industry brought out creative solutions that helped us stay within the budget we set. Additionally her knowledge of the housing marketing guided us in what elements of our home we should invest in and would provide a return on investment and other elements that may not provide for good resale. Her endless passion on wanting to help home buyers make the right decision made our experience wonderful. I would work with Kim again in a heartbeat." back to top
Dave and Michelle Schumacher, Woodbury
"We have had the pleasure of working with Kim Ziton throughout the entire process of building our home with Michael Lee and can say unequivocally that her professionalism and attention to detail was exceptional. We were transferred here from out of state, and Kim went above and beyond guiding us through the entire process. We were so pleased to have her volunteer to take us around the Twin Cities to choose things for our new home. This in no way was required or expected of her, but she gladly took us shopping and offered her opinion when asked, which we valued a great deal.
Kim takes her job very seriously and was always available to answer any questions or concerns during the 7 months that we worked closely with her. She was always quick to respond to the many calls and e-mails we sent, and told us to never hesitate to contact her for anything. Because of this, it allowed us to feel very confident that she had our best interest at the forefront. If she didn't know the answer to a question, she said she would find out and always got back to us very promptly. Based on other experiences we have had, this is almost unheard of. The service we received from Kim was exceptional!
In closing, we hold Kim in very high regard and would recommend her as a Realtor whom we know you would be pleased to work with. Based on our experience, Kim will work very hard and with tremendous diligence in guiding you through the real estate maze. We can say with confidence that her dedication to her clients, knowledge of the housing market, and professionalism will bring you great results!" back to top
Jim and Sandee Bates, Inver Grove Heights
"We are happy Kim Ziton asked us for a personal recommendation. As a sales agent for Kootenia, she took us from start to finish through our first home building experience.
Kim started by greeting us warmly at the model and introducing us to the development and various house plans without scaring away the reluctant husband; later slogged through the snow with us to survey potential lots in a development with unfinished streets; and carefully guided us through the long and sometimes difficult design process.
We both were pleasantly surprised Kim took the time to get to know both of us and what each wanted in the house often inconsistent views. She was an especially effective advocate with the builder, often coming up with an elegant solution for something we couldn't properly articulate to the designer, or gently convincing him our ideas were worth considering. If we came up with something impractical or just plain wrong, whether because of our inexperience or otherwise, Kim always had a diplomatic way to a better plan, and sometimes we even thought we may have come up with it ourselves
We came to trust anything Kim told us, whether it had to do with design, cost estimates, what to expect as the designing and building went along, or anything else.
Ours was one of the first homes in the development, and Kim worked out of the models for quite some time. During the building process and thereafter, we regarded Kim as a friend and in some ways a neighbor. Other folks who built with Kootenia were consistent in their praise for Kim's attention to detail and her commitment to making each buyer's home uniquely their own, and something she could point to with pride." back to top
Tom and Janet Payne, North Oaks
"We were looking for a maintenance free home and were interested in the Villas of Wilkinson Lake, North Oaks. We visited a model home there which was built by Kootenia Homes. Kim Ziton was the representative of Kootenia Homes and after talking with her for several minutes, we felt that she knew just what we wanted in a new home. Kim is very focused on discovering what people want in a new home and has the ability to convey those needs to the builder at the beginning of the process. That made it so much easier on us. Kim has such a clear understanding of the home buying and building business and communicates that very well to the client. We were very happy that we had Kim get us started on our new home project and now have a very beautiful new home in the Villas of Wilkinson Lake, North Oaks." back to top

"Kim Ziton worked with us in building our home in Woodbury. In getting to know Kim we learned of her professionalism, knowledge of the market and her commitment to us as buyers. She was able to help us finish our home within budget and invest in "bells & whistles" which were good for resale. We were pleased with the great job she did and would gladly recommend her to others.
