Meet the Team

Kimber, Drew, and the entire KD Homes team were fantastic to work with in selling our Bucktown home. Their expertise and professionalism were evident from the very beginning. Their knowledge of the local market, particularly in the luxury home category, was invaluable in competitively pricing our property. Their responsiveness and communication were top-notch, and they were always available to answer questions and address our concerns, making the entire process stress-free. We were particularly impressed by their team of designers and contractors, who were timely and provided excellent advice on staging and updates to enhance our home's appeal. We f...

My husband and I heard about Kimber through a family friend and are so glad we had the privilege of working with her. She made the process of buying our first home seamless and went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable with every step of the process. We had very inflexible work schedules, and Kimber went out of her way to clear her schedule for us any time we were able to come into town to look at listings (we were living in Boston while trying to purchase a home in Chicago). We didn't have a great sense of what we were looking for, and Kimber patiently took us to several different neighborhoods so we could get a feel of the different...

We cannot recommend Drew Westergreen highly enough! She and her team are thoughtful and sharp, and they have a great eye on the local market. They have helped us buy and sell properties on the Near Northside and in Oak Park, and they are experts on purchasing and selling throughout Chicago. Each of our transactions went smoothly with their help. Drew and her team are very responsive by email, text, and phone. They listen to their clients carefully and follow their lead while offering invaluable advice based on extensive research, experience, and expertise. They pay close attention to all the details from settling on comps to staging and inspections....

I highly recommend using Kimber Galvin as a Realtor® and as a person. Working with Kimber on selling my condo was a wonderful and seamless experience. She was very knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market and how to list my place. When we first met I was unsure of the timing of when to list it and Kimber came to my place and we talked about options of how and when to list my place. Kimber listened and offered suggestions and she was very compassionate and empathic toward me during the whole process. She was not pushy or aggressive which was refreshing compared to other Realtors® I met. She was insightful on what I needed to do to get my pl...

Kimber was amazing to work with! If you are looking for an agent, look no further. I was a first-time home buyer in 2016 when I was referred to by Kimber (from a friend who had also used her as a real estate agent). She was professional, friendly, smart, attentive, and such a great resource. We connected instantly! The entire process from sifting through listings closing day was made easier because of Kimber's vast knowledge and resources. I never felt pressured in any way to buy or hurry and make a decision. I only felt that she wanted me to feel comfortable and find the perfect home I was searching for. In all honesty, without her knowledge and ab...

Kimber and her team made finding my condo so easy, I couldn't really believe it. I gave a list of the types of things I was looking for in a home, along with my budgets and a pretty specific location, and she hopped right on it with a list of great matches. I was out at viewings later that week, and managed to find my place that day! As a first-time buyer, I didn't really know entirely what I was getting into as far as the process goes, especially because everything happened so fast, but it turned out to be a breeze. Kimber recommended lenders and attorneys she's worked with before and it made the entire thing way less stressful and very straightfor...

Kimber and Drew are extremely hard-working, honest, thoughtful, diligent agents, and are incredibly knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market. Contrary to other agents I've worked with, it was obvious from the time I started working with them that they truly enjoy helping their clients find a home they’ll not just like, but love. Rather than push for a quick sale, they encouraged me to be patient when searching for the right home. There were several times when they pointed out problems with a property or a neighborhood that I would have never noticed. Their communication skills are excellent, and they were always responsive to inquiries via...

I recently decided to sell my luxury condo in Chicago. I was very concerned about selling my home remotely since I now live in California. It was being rented as a fully furnished Airbnb so this was a complex sales process with many details to follow through on and all while I was in California. Kimber and her sister Drew came through with flying colors in every respect. They held open houses, showings and helped with improving the staging all without me being in Chicago to help. They kept marketing our unit through an extremely difficult time when COVID-19 was just ramping up and still managed to sell my home for a very fair price. Kimber also reco...

Kimber was an invaluable asset in the sale of my family's home. After a family accident, we found ourselves in a precarious position where we needed to sell our house quickly. Because of Kimber's incredible resources and her vast web of contacts she was able to secure a buyer before we even listed the house for sale, saving us from the anxiety and emotional disruption of putting the house on the market. Kimber also made sure that we got the best price possible for our home. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and efficient throughout the entire transaction and made a very stressful time for our family a little less trying. I would highly ...

As first-time home buyers, we were nervous and naive about the home-buying process. Luckily we were introduced to Kimber by a mutual friend. Kimber was the glue that held our home-buying process together. At our initial meeting, she set reasonable expectations and expertly explained the process in a simple, easy-to-understand manner. She was personable, professional, and easily accessible at all times. She provided us with multiple references for suggested inspectors and attorneys. The ones we chose were excellent. Kimber advocated for us during a difficult situation with our lender and proactively helped us manage other bumps along the way. Thanks ...

We cannot say enough good things about Kimber, Drew, and their team. They are everything you hope for in Realtors®: responsive, communicative, informed, and assertive advocates. Every time we viewed a property with Drew or Kimber, we learned about what we were looking for and the housing market in general. They were available to view homes whenever was most convenient for us. When we finally found our place, they solidified our offer within hours and were available all weekend until we were under contract. They checked in on us periodically throughout our entire close and after our move-in date. Beyond their exceptional professionalism and knowledge...

I really can’t say enough about my experience with Kimber Galvin! Kimber and the KD Homes came very highly recommend and yet they still managed to exceed all expectations. After a brief conversation, Kimber seemed to read my mind and within a couple of weeks, I found the perfect place. Not only that, but she was able to connect me with the best resources to make the entire process a seamless one. Kimber is clearly passionate about her work and no one knows the city or the market better than her. She is a real joy to work with. Very well informed, super organized, transparent, attentive, and responsive you can expect nothing short of your best advoca...

My DePaul vintage condo needed updates, but the prospect of remodeling was daunting. Kimber and her partner drew found me a great contractor, who was full service, reliable, and timely. The result was gorgeous, and nothing that I could have envisioned myself! The first Realtor® I interviewed suggested a listing price that seemed low. With Kimber as my advisor and agent, I sold my place in one day for over $100k -yes -1 hundred thousand - over the first agent's estimate! Need I say more? I will! Kimber has her hand on the pulse of the market, knows what buyers want, and was patient and responsive to all my questions. I highly recommend her and K and ...

Wow! Where to start on my experience working with Kimber and Drew? Well for starters they sold our house to the first people who saw it after marketing it to the Top Agent Network. The whole process was a little over a month. Their marketing collateral was second to none, which I attribute to the reason why we had so much interest in our lovely home. They were very straightforward, always available, and very knowledgeable about real estate. Negotiating was a breeze. They even went to our house on our behalf several times to meet random service people since we had already moved. I will always recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in ...

Kimber and Drew are a dream team! They are both extremely knowledgeable on the local market and showed my husband and me countless homes before we settled on one. Throughout the process, Kimber answered our endless questions and gave us top-notch recommendations for a lawyer, lenders, and contractors. She was quick to respond to our requests and questions and extremely patient in our quest to find a home. Plus, we closed on our home during the start of the pandemic, and they couldn’t have been more professional and flexible in maneuvering us through unchartered territory. For anyone, looking for a home in Chicago, I definitely recommend Kimber and D...

Kimber and her team were outstanding to work within our apartment search. They exhibited everything we needed to make a good and timely decision: Very responsive about our search, providing new listings, and very quickly being able to set up the visits. Very knowledgeable about the area and the plus or minuses of each street we were looking at. Very thoughtful about advising us during the negotiation process about the comparative values and post-inspection report. An extensive network of reliable sources to support the transaction and post-transaction. A very good, quick, and efficient process with a great team. Thank you!

Kimber represented my husband and me in both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home. It was definitely not an easy process, as we dealt with a difficult buyer and construction delays for our new home, but she was there for us every step of the way. Our condo sold quickly and for the full asking price, due in no small part to Kimber's amazing marketing materials. She was very responsive every time we had a question (even at odd hours!) and she was able to walk us through solutions to our problems. I would highly recommend Kimber to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Kimber and Drew have an unparalleled level of expertise. Their insights and suggestions led to my family selling our home in less than 2 days for over our listing price. Wonderful and concise level of communication. Great and encouraging attitude as well! For first-time sellers, like my wife and me, it was great to work with Kimber and Drew and get a step-by-step of the home-selling process. I would, and have, recommended them both to anyone looking to sell their home. You cannot go wrong with this stellar duo!

My home buying experience with Kimber and the whole KD Homes team was magnificent! As a first-time buyer, I was not very knowledgeable about the process or about what I was exactly looking for, but Kimber was extremely helpful throughout the whole process answering any questions I have and helping me make the right decision. She was extremely patient and worked around my busy schedule in order to help me find the exact property I was looking for. I could not recommend a better agent or company to work with!

We cannot recommend Drew, Kimber, and their team highly enough. They recently helped us simultaneously sell a condo and purchase a single-family home. At every step of the process, we were so impressed with their professionalism, knowledgeability, advocacy, and candor. They are incredibly responsive, hard-working, and kind, and are very clearly well-known and respected in the Chicago real estate community, which gave us a critical competitive edge. You simply will not find anyone better.

My wife and I used Kimber Galvin as our agent to purchase a home near Bucktown/Wicker Park. We were in very good hands as her knowledge of the city, home values, and her experience in managing complex deals were on display throughout the process. Kimber also has a network of experts who helped us make decisions along the way and were critical in getting us to the closing table. The transaction was far from ordinary and Kim did a wonderful job with the ambiguity of the situation.​

Drew was the absolute best partner for us in the process of buying our first home. She helped us navigate a very competitive sale, and when things took unexpected turns she was there to reassure and advocate on our behalf. Drew and her team always made themselves available for any of our questions and supported us from our initial search through close. I would highly recommend Drew to anyone, and will not hesitate to work with her again if needed in the future.

Words cannot truly express the gratitude I feel for Kimber and Drew. Their work ethic, attentiveness, and general badassery bring a buying experience unparalleled in the modern real-estate world. They will fight for you, comfort you, and most importantly have your back. If I could give them more stars I would. Especially Drew, who listened to every stupid question I asked with patience indicative of a wise sage. Thanks again! I love my new home!

Kimber helped my husband and I buy our first home, which was new construction (which comes with specific complexities in the buying process). We found Kimber extremely helpful and patient through the process, answering any questions we had. Also great at negotiating there were a couple of items close to the closing day we weren't sure if we'd get a response/solution from the developer, but Kimber was able to negotiate and resolve 100% of our needs.

We loved our experience working with Kimber and her team! Right from the start, she wanted to get to know us and figure out exactly what we were looking for, which we really appreciated. She's responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and personable. This was our first home buying experience and she seamlessly helped us navigate the whole process, always just a phone call away! We highly recommend it!

We loved working with Kimber and Drew. Our search for a home involved viewing over 25 properties, and every time the team provided helpful knowledge and context about different areas and different property types. Once we found our home, they were incredibly responsive throughout the purchasing process. We are so grateful to them!

Drew Westergreen is a truly amazing Realtor® she is honest, personable, and hard-working. She made the stressful task of searching for places seem less daunting and enjoyable. She has a great team as well shout out to Kimber. Thank you and we will be your clients for a long time!

Drew was amazing from start to finish on our townhome purchase. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely easy to work with. She has given us excellent recommendations for vendors through all contexts and made home buying significantly easier. Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone!

Kimber and Drew were great. Their listing brochures are so professional and on point. It tolls a while to sell my mother-in-law's house, but they were so patient with our wants and needs. We have other properties we will definitely use them for when we decide to sell them.

Kimber and her team were amazing in helping us find and close on a house that we love. She was always very responsive and helped guide us through our first home purchase. Have recommended her directly to our friends who also used her to purchase their home.

Drew was fantastic! So helpful. She was a tireless advocate for me as a first-time buyer. She guided me through the whole process and helped me with the negotiations and coordinating with other service providers.

Drew and her team were incredible to work with. Super smart, personable, and responsive. We were based in NYC while buying in Chicago and they could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience working with Kimber Galvin and Drew Westergreen from KD Homes! They listed and sold my house for over the asking price in less than a week. As a parent of two young kids, the quick sale was a lifesaver, sparing us from the stress of multiple showings. Kimber and Drew even personally staged and prepared the house to ensure it looked its best. Their expert negotiation skills secured a fantastic deal, far exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend Kimber, Drew, and the entire team at KD Homes for their exceptional dedication and professionalism!

Put simply, Drew is absolutely outstanding at what she does. She helped my partner and I find our first home and made the entire process feel much less intimidating than it had been at the start. We came in with little understanding and a lot of hope, and thanks to Drew came out with a home we love. She was clear and thorough every step of the way, always offering helpful insights and never pushing us in any direction we didn't want to go. We're very grateful for all her support and incredible work.

From start to finish, Elizabeth went above and beyond with her time, energy, and expertise. She led us through the process as first time homebuyers with professionalism and heart. Her deep knowledge of Chicago and the market helped us make a decision personal to our goals and at every opportunity made us feel assured and supported. The extra mile Elizabeth went for us made all the difference.

Kimber was awesome! We are not from the area and her knowledge of the city helped us find a place quickly. She made the process of buying seem so easy! She and her partners are top notch.

I cannot say enough good things about Drew and the experience I had working with her; she has unparalleled professionalism, an impressive depth of market knowledge, and a genuine dedication to helping her clients. What truly sets Drew apart is her ability to go above and beyond in every aspect of the process. Whether it was providing insightful advice, promptly answering my countless questions, or managing unexpected challenges with grace, she consistently exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a realtor who is not only a consummate professional but also truly cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Drew!

We worked with Elizabeth to buy a condo for my mom . We had specific criteria and needs, which Elizabeth thoughtfully kept top of mind. As a result, our search was quick and victorious. Elizabeth's planning and organization were instrumental to our success! She has a vast network of trusted professionals that she connected us with every step of the way. We wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth and plan to reach out to her in the future for any real estate ventures!

Marion is the best! She's smart, trustworthy, hard working, AND fun to work with! She responds quickly, has great ideas, and is very helpful. I highly recommend her and would gladly work with her again.

I purchased my first home with Kimber and Drew's team in Chicago's North Center neighborhood. I couldn't imagine it going smoother as our offer was accepted within the first week of home searching. Looking at a wide variety of options in different neighborhoods, Kimber and Drew consistently offered great insight supported by their experience, rational logic, and taste. I appreciate the tools they provided me post-offer that guided me through the home buying process. Kimber and Drew also come with a fantastic support network of lenders, attorneys, and inspectors. Kimber and Drew have been attentive even after closing; most recently with an HOA disput...

Drew and Kimber are fabulous team. They were incredibly responsive to every question I had along the way and very aggressive in helping me find my new home. They are both really easy to talk to and very knowledgeable and experienced. They always gave their honest opinion and guided me well throughout the process. Couldn't recommend these two more! You'll be in great hands.

As first-time home sellers, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Elizabeth Otter. Her expertise and strategic approach to selling our condo were truly impressive. Elizabeth's in-depth knowledge of the local market and vast network of connections proved invaluable, as she managed to sell our condo off-market for above the asking price before it even hit the MLS! Elizabeth guided us through every step of the process with patience and professionalism. From developing a pricing strategy to preparing our condo for showings, she was always there to offer expert advice and support. Her high-quality marketing efforts undoubtedly contributed to t...

Marion was instrumental in helping us find our dream home. She helped us navigate an extremely competitive market to find a beautiful home that met the needs for our growing family. She cares about her clients and truly loves her job. Throughout the process, we received clear communication so there was never any confusion in any part of the selling/buying process. She was professional and thorough. I am grateful for Marion's expertise and would recommend Marion to anyone in search of a successful real estate agent.

I am writing this as a recommendation for Aneta Balliet. I had a small condo in Riverside, IL. I listed the apartment with Aneta because I did not live in the area and required someone to oversee that process in my absence. Aneta did not disappoint. She was honest, helpful, and dependable. She went above and beyond what you would expect from your realtor. She staged the area and helped to remove unnecessary items before showing the condo. She has excellent taste. She was very effective at getting things completed and was able to sell the property at a good price within weeks of listing it with her. If I had another property to sell in the area , I w...

Kimber and Drew were a dream to work with. They honed in on our wants and needs quickly and found us our dream home. Communication was easy and efficient, and they stood with us from start to finish. Their expertise with negotiations, the inspection, and the closing process was evident and benefited us tremendously. Kay in the office was timely and responsive, and they handled everything which made the whole process stress free. We would highly recommend KD Homes to anyone!

Drew was incredibly helpful and professional during our time working together. She assisted me with the negotiation process and I greatly appreciated her expertise, especially as a first-time home buyer. I would work with Drew again!

I had a fantastic experience working with Elizabeth while exploring relocation options. From the start, she was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right fit. Elizabeth provided a well-curated selection of properties tailored to my needs and took the time to answer all my questions without any pressure. Even though I was still in the decision-making phase, she went above and beyond to offer valuable insights and guidance. It was clear that Elizabeth truly cares about her clients and their goals. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is professional, patient, and dedicated, I highly recommend Elizabeth. I ...

Marion demonstrated unwavering dedication selling our home quickly and efficiently. Thanks to Marion's hard work and strategic approach, our home was sold in record time, exceeding our expectations.

Aneta Balliet was our trusted expert as she knows her market and how to provide the best services, construction issues, remodeling, and neighborhoods trends. She was our champion when it came to price negotiation so we could stay within our budget. Really appreciate the tenacity and partnership she brought to the table. Here accessibility was unmatched to accommodate my busy work schedule so really appreciated her patience with us and sometimes difficult wish lists we demanded from her. We just loved working with Aneta Balliet and would recommend her to anyone looking to rent or buy a new home. The processes was very easy from start to finish.
