Kim Williamson's path to real estate began the same way many of her clients' journeys start with a dream, excitement and unfortunately a disappointing experience with the wrong agent.

After graduating from college in 1993 with a Bachelor's degree in Business Operations and a minor in Accounting Kim had built an impressive professional career working with some of the largest logistics companies in America. She went on to found and operate her own women owned courier company in Arizona, expanding operations into California and Texas and running a 15,000 square foot UPS warehouse facility in Tucson. Kim was a proven entrepreneur and business operator — disciplined, strategic and results driven.

When it finally came time to purchase her first home — a horse property she shared with her father — Kim was beyond excited. But the agent assigned to help her through one of the most important financial decisions of her life cared about nothing but his paycheck. No guidance. No communication. No advocacy. No professionalism. Just a transaction.

For someone with Kim's business background, her values and her competitive championship mindset that was unacceptable.

The moment she closed on that first home Kim made a decision — she was going to get her real estate license because people deserve better. They deserve an advisor who fights for them. Who is honest with them. Who actually cares about their outcome. Who brings professionalism, ethics and expertise to one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

That conviction has driven every transaction Kim has handled for the past 24 years. And it is the reason 82% of her business comes from clients who trust her enough to send the people they love most her way.

The agent who dropped the ball on Kim's first home purchase unknowingly created one of the most dedicated and accomplished real estate advisors in Arizona.

That is what happens when you underestimate a world champion.
