Origin Story: Fearless by Necessity, Grounded by Experience
Twelve years ago, I stepped into real estate alongside my family—my brother was the contractor, and together we navigated the early days of the business. It was a solid foundation, one built on trust and familiarity. But by the end of 2021, I made a decision that would change everything: I walked away from my W-2 job and the comfort of my family’s safety net. No fallback. No prompting. Just me—and the belief that I could do this on my own.
That shift wasn’t just bold—it was necessary. When you're no longer leaning on anyone else, you stop playing it safe. I was forced to be fearless. Every project, every number, every decision—it all landed squarely on my shoulders. And strangely enough, that’s where I found my stride.
One of the most defining moments came in 2023 with a high-stakes flip. Everything about it was big: the purchase price, the rehab budget, the risk. It was a post-pandemic market, with unpredictability baked into every move. But I stayed tight with the numbers, managed the budget like my livelihood depended on it—because it did—and I made it work. That deal didn’t just succeed; it thrived. And it proved something to me: I don’t need a net to perform at a high level.
My approach today is a reflection of that journey. I bring bold decision-making grounded in years of hands-on experience. I know how to stretch a dollar without cutting corners. I know what it means to bet on yourself—and win.
How I Work
I believe every deal should work for everyone involved — the seller, the investor, and the community. Real estate isn’t just about buying low and selling high; it’s about creating solutions and opportunities where others might only see problems.
While many investors zero in on numbers alone, I take a broader view. Yes, the numbers matter — I run a tight budget on every project — but so do the people and the neighborhoods where I work. I want to leave things better than I found them. That means taking the time to listen, laying out options, and choosing the path that makes the most sense for all parties.
Once a deal is in motion, I move quickly. My projects typically go from purchase to finished product in three to six months. With more than a decade in real estate and a reliable team by my side, I know how to balance speed with quality. Budgets stay tight, work gets done right, and the end result speaks for itself.
For me, it’s not just about flipping houses — it’s about building relationships, delivering on promises, and proving that doing the right thing is also the most profitable way forward.

Interested in Investing?
Since going full time in 2021, I’ve completed 11 flips — with two more set to finish by year’s end. Up to now, I’ve relied on one trusted source of family funding. That consistency has sharpened my systems, kept budgets tight, and proven my process works.
Now I’m ready to expand beyond that circle and bring in private capital partners. When an investor decides to fund alongside me, I continue managing the contractors, schedules, and budgets — the parts of the business where I thrive.
If you’d like your money working in real estate without managing flips yourself, I’d be happy to walk you through my process to see if we’re the right fit.
I Buy Distressed Properties
Life happens, and sometimes owning a property becomes more of a burden than a benefit. Whether it’s foreclosure, probate, or just a house that feels overwhelming, I step in to create options — not pressure.
Unlike many investors who make one low offer and walk away, I take time to understand your situation. In some cases, that means catching up missed payments so you can stay in your home. In others, it means buying the property as-is so you can move forward without repairs or delays. My goal is always the same: create a solution that works for you.
I move quickly, pay on time, and keep communication clear throughout the process. If you or someone you know has a property that’s weighing them down, let’s talk. I’d be happy to walk you through your options and help you decide what makes the most sense.
Join My Buyer’s List
Looking for your next flip, rental, or investment property? I regularly source deals direct from sellers, foreclosures, and the MLS — and my buyers get first access.
When a property isn’t the right fit for my portfolio, I pass it along to investors who are ready to move quickly. The advantage of being on my list is simple: you’ll see opportunities before they hit the open market.
I keep the process organized and efficient, and I only share properties that make sense. If you want to be the first to know about upcoming deals, sign up today and let’s start building together.
Testimonials
I have done multiple transactions with Kim during my tenure in real estate. I’ve experienced that Kim takes great pride in her integrity and getting the job well done. Kim keeps her composure during adversity in this challenging business. My most admired quality about Kim is her character. She is also an effective communicator and will follow through — all great qualities to have in the real estate business. I’ve observed the impact Kim has on others. As a real estate colleague, a mother, a spouse, a friend and beyond. I appreciate Kim immensely and it’s always a joy to associate with her and her business.

Kim is a dynamic, energetic entrepreneur who is always looking for the win-win-win opportunity. She's a people person, easy to work with, but don't mistake that for being a pushover. Kim is quite savvy and if the numbers make sense, she's all in! And if they don't, she's happy to pass along the opportunity to a colleague for whom it might be a better fit. She has a heart of gold and is not shy to share information and assets. When Kim is your business partner, you can be confident that a successful venture is in your future!
Kat Cannella
The first time I met Kim I knew she was a firecracker. She was super fit, outgoing, and full of life. As I grew to know her better over the years she has proven that she can conquer any project house to bring it back to better than its original glory. She is a powerful businesswoman who leads by example creating connections all across the world championing other female investors as she grows. I can’t wait to see what the next 5, or 10 years look like for her because the last 10 have been nothing short of incredible.
