Buyer Testimonials
Kim is hands-down the most capable real estate agent I’ve ever worked with. Not only was Kim able to guide us through our first out-of-state negotiation and purchase, she was able to do it all through the Covid-19 pandemic. I’m talking about all new technology and rules here – a socially distant, mobile notary that traveled to our location, an online virtual walkthrough, a remote close, etc. Kim made the new and unfamiliar feel comfortable and right. Also, Kim rolled with the punches and made the deal happen under terrible circumstances. She is honest, kind and really understands the psychology of both buyer and seller. If you are buying or selling a home, you NEED Kim – she is AMAZING. Seriously.”
– Alexis M.
So very grateful to have found this REALTOR®. Kim will go beyond your expectations in working for you. This was my first purchase with Kim Tharp as my Realtor®, she did way more than I expected. With all the twists and turns of purchasing a home, Kim easily and professionally maneuvered us to a very satisfying conclusion. While I am not easily impressed, this is a person I feel confident recommending, I would use her again and will recommend her to those closest to me. She did a fabulous job. Thanks, Kim.”

I am so thankful for Kim Tharp. Not only is she kind, gentle, and sweet-spirited, she is professional, very knowledgeable and knows her stuff! Kim wasted no time getting it done. She instantaneously communicated every detail as things were happening during the process. She answered all my calls and text promptly even during non-business hours. She met with contractors and home inspectors on her own when I could not. When things got crazy with all the unexpected things that can happen during a home purchase process, Kim’s professionalism and her calm, sweet demeanor was comforting and reassuring. Kim went above and beyond my expectations. Also, on closing day she gave me a bag full of home goodies for a closing present! I just can’t say enough about this lady. She is just AWESOME!”
– Matthew L.
Kim was fabulous to work with. She is an upbeat, knowledgeable, and hardworking realtor. We found Kim through Zillow and are so happy we did. We were moving to the Jacksonville area from overseas, and she was our eyes and ears in Jacksonville when we couldn’t physically be here. Thank you for helping us find our home!”
– Kristi D.
Kim is the best! As a first-time buyer, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted or how the process worked. Kim was patient during showings as we narrowed down my preferences, and when the time came to make an offer on a house she got it done. Throughout the closing process she was responsive and helpful, answering all of the questions that I had as a first-time buyer. I would absolutely recommend Kim!”
– Sarah K.
I have known Kim Sandberg for two years since the time she was the REALTOR® for my mother’s home purchase in Nocatee. I also now have purchased a house in Nocatee but as a first-time home buyer with many questions. Kim made the entire process much less daunting which allowed me to enjoy what otherwise would have been a nerve-racking experience. She guided me through the process with patience, enthusiasm, and good cheer. The home is a new construction and Kim showed up to every meeting in the build process, giving me valuable insight on what to look out for during the build as well as what to expect in a new home once construction was completed. I know Kim to be highly professional, trustworthy, hardworking, efficient, thorough, knowledgeable, patient, and so very kind and good-humored. I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend her services to others.”
– Katharine M.
We were relatively uninformed about the real estate market in the Jacksonville area and didn’t quite know what we wanted. A friend, who lives in the area, recommended Kim Sandberg as an agent – she is as good an agent as you can find anywhere (and we have worked with a few elsewhere). Kim is well informed, helpful and constructive with her advice – and guided us expertly through the house search process. We looked in many neighborhoods in the Jacksonville area including the beaches, inland and in Avondale. Kim was knowledgeable about each neighborhood that we visited and we finally settled for a place close to the beach. She is also well connected with other auxiliary people – home inspectors, insurance agents and so on and works very well with everybody.
Many thanks Kim, for your patience and perseverance – it was a pleasure working with you.”– Devajyoti “Doc” G.
Don’t waste your time with anyone else, call Kim and get the job done right. My family and I relocated from 1,000 miles away, leaving behind the only agent I’ve ever known and trusted to help me buy and sell my most valuable asset. Then I met Kim, she made my wife and I feel comfortable from minute one and never stopped being awesome. Literally, held our hand from the second we started shopping to the second we closed and she still check in on us. Knowledgeable is an understatement from housing to local recommendations. Seriously, do yourself a favor and just call Kim. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!!”
– Vito V.
Kim is absolutely the best!! She has helped us with multiple homes including our last new construction home with ICI. It’s nice to have someone in your corner with her knowledge when going through the grueling process of building a home.”
– Lori N.
Kim, you are an incredibly skilled professional with a kind spirit and high moral standards. Anyone can trust you with their real estate dreams and with their money. We did it and we still can’t believe our luck. Without Kim “Angel” Sandberg, none of this would have been possible: finding the right house from overseas, getting all the paperwork done on a 10-day schedule, and making everybody happy – buyers and sellers!”
– Phil S. and Laura C.
We cannot thank you enough for everything that you have done for us throughout our first time home buying experience! As newlyweds new to Florida and hesitant, as most first time buyers are, you promised to “hold our hand” throughout the entire process… and that you did! Without family nearby you became our “Mom” through this scary, but exciting time. Through daily texts, emails, and phone calls you were with us every step of the way! From setting us up with various contacts in the area to finding out how to get our Fleming Island pool passes, you did it all! Most importantly, you found our dream home, which was truly meant to be! We hope to start a family in our new home in Fleming Island and begin many lasting memories here. Thank you for making this possible! We couldn’t have done it without you! I would recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Florida. You’re hardworking, organized, and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the real estate business. Most importantly you are compassionate about what you do! Thank you Kim!”
– Elise & Jason F.
Just a quick note to thank you for all your efforts, energy and enthusiasm over the past few months. Your diligence and dedication to customer service, and a client driven approach to real estate resulted in the purchase of my new home in Jacksonville, FL. Leveraging current technologies and resources, and your effective and responsiveness in sharing information made a potentially challenging move from Singapore back to the U.S. seemingly effortless.Your ability to identify, locate, convey properties matching my requirements, and “virtually” show me listings led to a successful short sale purchase, sight unseen, from half a world away! An absolutely amazing feat! Your professionalism and tireless personal drive to provide the best service possible is admired and greatly appreciated. Many thanks for your excellent service and a great new home.”
– Mike Y.
We would like to express our thanks and sincere appreciation for all that Kim Sandberg did for us in our recent house search. After a previously stressful realtor experience and a very tight timeline, we finally found a home with the assistance and expertise of Kim.
From the first moment we contacted her she was attentive and was able to provide us numerous properties to review. She was always conscious of our short timeline and helped push things along when needed. We are so thankful that we found her to work with when we did.
We would not hesitate for one second to recommend her to our friends when they are in need of a very intelligent, polite and resourceful real estate agent. Thank you, Kim, for the excellent service.”
– Bob P. & Deb M.
We were introduced to Kim Sandberg by another Re/Max Realtor® who was selling our house in New Hampshire. Right from the start, Kim was responsive and took the time to get to know our situation and recommend a course of action that we should take. I could sense great energy and willingness to please her potential clients, which was refreshing as our move to Florida was not all handled with the same level of professionalism and customer-focus that Kim brings.
Whenever we had questions on the unfamiliar but beautiful St. Augustine area, Kim readily answered our questions without rushing us off the phone that many others would have done. Throughout our “discovery” phase of Florida and desirable places to potentially live within the price points that we wanted to remain in, Kim offered relevant and useful suggestions. One example that really comes to mind is when we hadn’t spoken to Kim in a number of months. When I next called, unannounced on a Saturday and knowing we would be in the St. Augustine area the following day and explained that we wanted to use the time wisely, not only did she return my call promptly, but after we spoke she quickly assembled a number of useful website links for us to follow up on. Actions like that are not lost on me.
When we were considering another part of Florida outside of her territory, she gladly connected us with another broker with the same qualities. When we were at crossroads with our situation and wondering which direction we should take, Kim was there to counsel us.
And though we settled on a location outside of Kim’s territory, and she never made a penny off of us, she was genuinely happy for us. The important thing to take away from this experience is that although we never met Kim, we could sense that she embraced her line of work and cared about the people that she worked with, which is huge with us.Bottom line, and I am a bottom line type of person, great experience and full confidence that Kim is a great choice for anyone looking to buy or sell in the St. Augustine area.”

Seller Testimonials
We couldn’t be happier that we chose the Sandberg Team to list our Nocatee home. Professional, knowledgeable, willing to go the extra mile with a “let’s get this done” attitude. Our house sold in 2 weeks.”
– Angela & Jay P.
With the housing market being on fire this year, Steve and I decided to list our home for sale. It sold in less than 3 weeks, but we couldn’t have done it without our AMAZING Realtor®, Kim.
We met her a few years ago when she listed a couple of our friends’ homes on the next street over. She listed 5 homes (on the same street) and all 5 homes sold in less than 5 weeks. We were blown away and knew we had to have her for our home. We cannot say enough great things about her and the whole process. From start to finish, we were truly blessed with how smooth everything went along with gaining a new friendship.If you’re considering selling and want an honest Realtor® to sell your home fast, here is her info…”
– Carla and Steve R.
…We wanted to let you know that we really appreciated your professionalism and help in selling our house. You were always available for questions, went the extra mile to help us with staging and getting the house ready to list, and followed through promptly with any requests or questions we had. You checked periodically to be sure that our lawn was maintained appropriately when we weren’t there to see to it, and you confirmed as we got close to closing to be sure we had what we needed to make the process go smoothly, We were very happy with the whole process, and it was a pleasure to work with you! We would certainly recommend you to anyone!”
– Bill & Minna H.
My recent experience selling my home was very positive, and I have Kim Sandberg to thank! Kim’s knowledge and experience provided me with crucial advice to ensure my home was ready for listing.
Unforeseen circumstances delayed the closing of the house, but Kim was very patient and understanding regarding the delay. She did not pressure me during this time, yet she worked proactively in my favor. During the process, the buyer experienced financing issues; however, Kim continued to advocate for me, collaborating with the buying agent, mortgage broker, and title company. Kim kept me informed during the entire process, and she was diligent in her representation of my needs. During the entire process, I felt confident that my needs were first on Kim’s agenda, and her communication among the parties was key in ensuring the sale was completed.
I not only recommend her as an agent, but also know that she will be my agent going forward for all my existing properties.”
– Jeff H.
We have had many realtors sell homes for us, Kim is by far one of the best Realtors® we’ve had. She is knowledgeable, dedicated, and honest. She sold our home in a relatively short time at the best market price. I would highly recommend her to any prospective seller.”
– JoAnn B.
It was such a joy to work with Kim and Scott. They always responded immediately when we called or emailed, and they did a fabulous job marketing our home. We had great confidence in their ability to sell our home based on the work they did before meeting with us for the first time – they were familiar with our neighborhood and the market. They had great ideas and were always positive. Not only that – they sold our house the first day it was listed! We have already recommended them to friends and would be totally comfortable recommended them to anyone.”
– Marty & Penny P.
I can’t say enough about Kim. It was great working with her, always professional and always up beat. We were out of the country for the back and forth with finalizing the deal and it couldn’t have gone smoother. If you want a great REALTOR®, get Kim!”
– George & Christine B.
We cannot express in words how much we appreciate all of the hard work you put into selling our home. You were always positive, thorough and extremely professional. We feel very comfortable recommending you to anyone. Your work speaks for itself.”
– Bill & Eileen R.
Kim presented a very detailed and honest market analysis which made it easy to determine an accurate selling price for our home. This was vital because it was a buyers market. An expert in staging, Kim made sure our house always showed at its best. The result was that we sold our house at a very fair price, in a reasonable time, while other houses in the neighborhood remained on the market. Also an expert in marketing, Kim did far more than just placing our home in the Multiple Listing Service. She maximized our home’s exposure to the most potential buyers.
Kim is honest, hard working, and always available if we had questions. It was a pleasure to work with her.”– Dave & Merrilee D.
We would both like to express our thanks for a job WELL DONE during the recent sale of our home. We began our discussions by giving you the challenge of selling it in eight days in a difficult market. Well, you did it in TEN which we thought was amazing!
Your professionalism, marketing abilities and sound advice during the process were all part of making the process for us much easier and understandable. We were hoping that we could clone you as our agent for the buying end of our transaction but no such luck.
Not only was the sale very successful, we felt that we gained a new friend in the process. Take care Kim and THANKS!”
– Ralph & Betty S.
I listed my home with Kim recently and even though there were other homes in my area (one of them being six doors away) she had buyers making offers on my house within 24 hours. It sold within the first week on the market, and for more than I thought it would. If you are serious about selling your home, call Kim and let her show you how it’s done.
She walked me through the whole process with no problems. And I might also add that I had two other REALTORS® look at listing my house and because of the other homes for sale close to me that had been listed for some time, they advised me to wait until the market was stronger.
Call Kim.”
– David T.
We had a wonderful experience using Kim Sandberg as our REALTOR®. She sets an example of what every Real Estate Agent should strive for – honesty, professionalism, reliability and warmth. She worked on our terms and our time schedule. Kim truly had assisted us in selling our home as a “Short Sale” during such trying economic times. She took her time to educate us on the process and she was really knowledgeable about the process, the area and the market. It was really tough, but she stuck by us to the end. She was always there and made everything possible. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she always communicates in a timely fashion.
Finally, Kim truly has the customer’s best interest at heart from the very moment that we spoke to her until the job is done!”
