Dave and his colleague Cathy Byun helped us get our dream house on our first bid! Dave had great instincts on how much to bid; and he also found me a mortgage with a major bank with a much lower rate. Dave pointed out issues with the house we were bidding on, and gave a good assessment of the house’s value. There was never any doubt that he was trying to get the right deal for me, rather than just try...

We worked with Dave to sell a home in San Mateo, in the 94403-zip code. Dave and his team are amazing. As the selling agent, Dave handled every detail perfectly. He provided expert guidance and backed his suggestions with solid research. He made sure my parents understood all the options before making decisions. There is not one thing I would change about the experience. Dave is extremely responsive and ...

From start to finish, we always provided the best service to ensure that the entire home buying process was smooth and trouble-free. Thank you David and his team.

My husband and I highly recommend working with David Kim and Cathy Byun. They came highly recommended from a colleague of mine and we had an equally positive experience working with them. David and Cathy consistently went above and beyond during our home buying experience in Campbell, CA. I was a first time home buyer so had many questions to ask throughout the process and they were always able to effici...

David is an awesome and experienced Realtor. I am a first time home buyer and he and his team patiently and kindly guided me through the process. He made sure I didn’t settle, and got the home I wanted. I now have my very first condo with all the amenities I wanted and in the location I never thought I’d be able to get into, Campbell, CA. 11/10 recommend! Thanks, David!

Cathy was our real estate agent for both purchasing and selling a home. I can say that Cathy is hands down one of the top caliber real estate agents in the bay area. She is extremely knowledgeable about the housing market in the bay area. I was thoroughly impressed with how she was proactive in getting data to help inform what price we can expect to sell our home and to make the most competitive offer. S...

Cathy was recommended by a family friend, and we are so grateful that we found her.

And, most importantly, when we found the home we wanted, Cathy expertly helped us navigate and negotiated on our behalf, so we could get our dream home - within our budget. I wo...

I got to know her while looking for a house in Palo Alto. I have quick temper and had a lot of requirements. She moved quickly for me. She also gave me enough advice to choose a house. And she took care of me meticulously about things I didn't know well. Thanks to her, I was able to find a house that fits my requirements.
— Hyelim Y.
Cathy is the most amazing realtor and advisor! She is kind, smart, professional, caring and methodical. After months of searching for an appropriate house in Mountain View, I believe I have finally found one that is ideally suited for my family. I’m sure it’s all thanks to her.

I and my family love our new house. Without her efforts and help, we could not find this clean and safe house. Having little knowledge about this area, my requests for the new house were so picky and sometimes fickle. But she has been always kind and sincere and came to me with a new list of candidate houses. I and my wife really appreciate her efforts in finding a good house and helping us prepare docum...

David Kim and team are great to work with. From the start, they were exceptionally professional especially David and Kelly who truly care for their customers and I have the pleasure to meet. "Actions speak louder than words" and David's history shows just that, he cares and he wins for you.
— Jose A.
David, Cathy, and the team that works behind the scenes are all truly amazing at what they do! We were able to close on a home after just two bids. David's intuition and experience combined with Cathy's agility and homeowner tips made the home-buying process easy and effortless. Then during closing, Kelly helped to push and follow up with our escrow officers to make sure everything we (the buyers) needed...

In 2021, my wife and I decided to take the leap from renting to owning. As anyone with experience or knowledge of the real estate situation in the Bay Area, it can be ultra-competitive, expensive, and exhausting due to a low inventory and many willing buyers. Luckily, we were guided from beginning to end by David Kim and his team, the David Kim Group. Upon meeting David, he got to know us and listened pa...

In 2023, I purchased a single-family home in Palo Alto with the assistance of David, whom I had previously worked with when buying a townhome in 2016. David's strategic approach to negotiating with the seller proved successful. We promptly submitted an offer at the listing price on a Sunday, and by Monday morning, it had been accepted. Despite encountering some unusual circumstances, David skillfully uti...

We had a great experience with Dave, Cathy, and Kelly as first-time home buyers in MTV/Los Altos/Sunnyvale, and would highly recommend them. After a relaxed discussion about what we were looking for in a house, Dave took us to a number of open houses together and helped us build a sense of what to look out for/what not to worry about. He helped us greatly in understanding the time and money cost of fixin...
— Jeff D.
We worked with David and his team for buying and then later selling our house in East Palo Alto. Both experiences couldn't have been better. During the sale period, we left the house empty to move out of state. It hadn't been updated since it was built (22 years ago) and was very much showing its age. In our absence, David transformed it, modernizing it inside and out. He also developed promotional mater...
— Sean O.
David and his entire team made our first home-buying experience a positive one from start to finish (and beyond). He worked with us patiently and compassionately, helping us discover our own priorities in what we were looking for without any pressure whatsoever. He and Cathy were willing to put in tons of time that accommodated our schedules and they made a house search with two small children possible. ...

I can't say enough about Dave Kim and his associate, Cathy Byun, who just helped us purchase our first home. As first-time home buyers, my husband and I had so many questions that we barely knew where to start. After our initial consultation with Dave and Cathy, however, we felt like we gained a lot of clarity: Dave and his team were incredibly knowledgeable about the different neighborhoods we were inte...

I was looking for my new home in the San Jose area and his team helped me to find my new home. I was looking for a new home from a long distance and I cannot imagine finding a new home without his team. It was not easy to travel every single time but with his team's support, I could understand and decide almost everything without visiting in person. I was not familiar with the area, but his team gave me ...

I thank David, Cathy, and Kelly who helped me sell my house and buy another one at the right time. David’s team is very knowledgeable and organized to help me understand the entire process and minimize hassle. They are not just professional but also very friendly and fun to work with, and I was very confident that I was working with the best team. When selling my property, they helped me repair and stage...

David, Cathy, and David's team helped us find a unique property that we liked but not many people preferred, which led to an offer accepted at a price point lower than the initial listing. We also had other time constraints with a new baby's delivery date, and thanks to David and Cathy, we could find our new houses in time and had enough time to update it. He made helpful suggestions at the right time (e...

We hired David Kim, Cathy, and Kelly from Compass to sell our townhome in Mountain View this summer. We already bought and sold several homes, so we knew we really wanted a good realtor who understood how important staging is when selling your house as well as being able to handle all the work after we moved out. We looked at David's portfolio and we liked his work. He made the selling experience super p...

It was a great experience working with David and his team. He is extremely supportive and very professional. He had never hesitated to visit the new houses in the market whenever I asked. David also spent lots of hours reviewing disclosures. He had been having a deep understanding of my concerns and relieved them based on data as well as his experience. If he was not sure about something, he immediately ...

We met Cathy and David at an open house and hired them to help us with our house search in the East/South Bay area. They understood our requirements and liked it very quickly. Cathy went with us every time we wanted to visit a house, sometimes every week. She clearly noted what we liked and what not and provided her feedback on every house. Cathy and David were very patient with us throughout the process...

It was a great experience to work with David and his team when my family recently bought our 1st house in the Bay Area. I had a limited budget, however, David is very experienced and my family was able to buy a beautiful house with his great help and advice. He walked us through all the details of the house before my family decided to buy it, so we were able to weigh up the pros and cons and make our dec...
