Kim Ballentine

Her clients will tell you...Ballentine knows her business. She dots every "I", crosses every "T" and runs spell check twice.

Kim's professionalism and expertised have earned her top recognition in the Real Estate industry, her most recent accomplishment is a scholarship from the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors to Bangkok, Thailand to complete necessary classes for the distinguished CIPS (Certified International Property Specialists) designation. Currently Kim is a licensed Broker in Minnesota and Alabama, but utilizes her designations as referral outlets. She's referred clients in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Virginia to name a few.

Kim's commitment toward excellence, expertise, experience and education is portrayed by her designations and seen when she's in action for her clients and her business.

A motto of Kim's is, "people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."

Another quirp you may hear roll off her lips is, "if you can see Joe Jones through Joe Jones eyes you can sell Joe Jones what Joe Jones buys."

And one that comes around every so often when dealing with stubborn transactions is, "it's not the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog."
