Testimonials

We highly recommend the Hove Team. Kim and Stacie made selling our house easier than we could imagine. In an unprecedented market, they provided a realistic preview of what to expect and how to navigate. They were available at all times, responded quickly to texts, emails and phone calls. Were very professional and knowledgeable and showed amazing patience. We are so happy we chose the Hove Team to sell our house.

- David and Cindy

We highly recommend Kim and the rest of her team for any realtor needs! We started the process with Kim several years before we even listed our house with her. We needed to make a number of improvements, so she came in and gave us advice on what to do, who to contact, and how to get the best return on our house. She was so patient and professional! Once we put the house on the market, she helped us through a somewhat unique transaction with expertise, even responding to several early-morning or late-night texts with the utmost patience! Kim reassured us through the entire process, and even though there was a last-minute glitch with the buyer, she kept everything running smoothly and alleviated our stress, still closing on time. Kudos to Kim and Stacie!

- Marie

Kim did an amazing job from start to finish! Her knowledge and skills as a realtor helped us through some tricky negotiations and to end up with a great outcome. She patiently explained everything and kept us informed every step of the way. Thank you, Kim!

- Nancy

My wife and I are first-time homebuyers, and after interviewing multiple realtors, decided to work with Kim and Stacie and were very happy with our choice. Kim methodically walked us through the home buying process step- by-step and responded quickly to all communications. Kim and Stacie were great to tour homes with and were always proactive to respond with comps and finding out information from the sellers. We had our first offer accepted with their expert guidance, and they were there to support every minor task up to closing. We would highly recommend Kim and Stacie to any buyers.

- Derek and Jerrica

The Kim Hove Team made selling my house a great experience! This was my first time selling a house and they made the process easy. They are very professional and great at what they do, I highly recommend them.

- Melinda

Kim and Stacie are very professional. They gave good advice to prepare for the sale and were readily available to help with any problems that arose. They treated us more like friends than customers.

- Gwen

My husband and I could not be more appreciative of Kim Hove as our realtor.  Kim was the ultimate professional in all our interactions while searching for a new home.  In addition, Kim became a friend and advisor.  We were downsizing from our home of 42 years and it took almost a year for us to come to a final decision.
 
Never during that time did Kim show any impatience or frustration with our indecisiveness.  Because the market went a bit crazy during that time, we often called her for a spur-of-the-minute showing, and Kim would always oblige.  If Kim could not make it, her associate, Stacie Fessler, would be there.  Both of them were always friendly, punctual, informative and professional.  We considered both of them to be some of the most knowledgeable and capable realtors we have known.
 Kim guided us through the bidding process, the final sale and all the steps in between.  We trusted her completely with her advice and direction.  We recommend the Kim Hove Team to anyone looking to sell or purchase property.  Kim has a very special quality of expertise blended with kindness, patience and wisdom. We are grateful to have had this incredible realtor on our side!
 
 

- David and Diana Bussen

It was a pleasure working with Kim Hove and Stacie Fessler. They were professional, on top of everything, always found solutions, returned our emails and texts promptly, and always were friendly and easy to talk with. I cannot sing their praises enough! Best real estate experience I have ever had.

- Susan

Kim has been, and continues to be, a world-class real estate agent! She is as professional as they come and a wealth of knowledge in her industry and the St. Louis housing market. She’s focused on taking care of her client, not just making a sale. She builds long lasting relationships and treats you as a friend, taking a vested interest in her clients and their lives. I’ve referred Kim to multiple colleagues and friends over the years and each time she has gone above and beyond to make sure she is able to find them their dream home.

- David

We worked with Stacie on Kim's team. Don't be fooled by Stacie's deviously youthful appearance, she is a consummate professional! We began working with Stacie after an unsuccessful experience with a different Realtor. She was gracious with her time and never judgmental of our request to look at homes in a LARGE geographical area and within a vast price range. She offered her expert opinion but we always felt that opinions were valued and supported. Kim and Stacie helped us navigate our way to a successful offer on our dream home and Noelle kept us informed and prepared for our closing. This is a 5 out of 5 team!

- Kim and Tom

Our family had a great experience with Kim and Stacie on the sale of my mother's home. It was an emotional sale as this was our family home of 46 years. Kim and Stacie were both very sensitive to this but also very professional and continued to keep our focus on getting the home ready in a timely manner that worked with our situation and our terms. They were both very helpful in each step of the process including how we could use existing furniture in a way to best show the home that would be appealing to new buyers. We had multiple offers and they gave great advice on how to consider each offer. The final steps went smoothly without any issues. During the entire process they were always available and responded quickly. They had given us great references which we called before we signed with them. Overall it was a very good experience.
