Cutler Real Estate asked Kim a few questions so you can get to know her better, and here are Kim's replies.
1. What is your professional/educational background?
I graduated from University of Michigan with a degree in Sport Management, with my eye on brand marketing for an iconic sport brand. My career began in Chicago, where I was hired to be an Account Executive at Leo Burnett in Chicago. I loved the client management aspect of my job, and I was driven by smart, strategic creative work. In moving to Columbus in 2002, I transitioned into real estate by directing sales and marketing for real estate developers focused on downtown living. From there, I received my real estate license in 2010, and never looked back.
2. Why did you choose a career in real estate?
I love working with clients - that is the consistent thread through my entire career - great client management. There are many elements to this that I enjoy - I like being a creative problem solver; I like providing my clients with the information they need to make decisions; I like to create a sense of calm in what can often be an emotional, stressful time in life. I also love the psychology that is an integral part of this business - I believe you have to be a great listener to be successful in this industry. I like to listen to my clients and hear what they hope to achieve, and I do my best to make that happen.
3. What area do you live in currently and what do you like about where you live?
After spending 6 years downtown, my husband and I made the move to Upper Arlington in 2010. My husband was born and raised in UA, and we knew that is where we wanted to raise our own kids. UA is a wonderful community - great location, wonderful schools, and amazing people. I feel lucky to be raising my family in such a great community.
4. How do you spend your free time?
"Family time" and "me time" are key for me - when I get quality time with my family, there is nothing better. Watching their sporting events, fun vacations, even just the wonderful little moments that fill the day (like homework and bedtime stories) - those are the things that drive me to be a better person and a better mom. But, let's be honest - in order for me to be present for them, I need to take care of me. I love working out, be it HIIT training or swimming or yoga - I love a good workout. Photography is another passion of mine. When I get these little outlets for me, it helps me to be more present in my family and work life.
5. If you could only keep 5 possessions what would they be?
Truly, it comes down to only 3 things - my husband, Doug, and my sons, Jackson and Graham.
6. In one word, how do you think your friends/family would describe you?

We looked at several houses on short notics. This includes the house that we bought. We looked at a house at 4pm Friday, Submitted the offer by 5pm, and had been accepted by 6pm. This is after we were preparing an offer on a house we had seen that morning.
We loved working with Kim to sell our first home. She made the process so easy and seamless! Quick to respond, always friendly and happy to help; she could not have made the experience any better! Highly recommend.

I've known Kim Mills since 2004, and she has been there for two of the biggest milestones in my life--helping me buy my first home in 2015 and now helping me sell it while purchasing my next home. Kim doesn't just facilitate a real estate transaction; she manages every detail and truly sees the bigger picture. From connecting me with trusted painters and locksmiths to expertly guiding me through every step of the process, she consistently goes above and beyond. There are many realtors out there, but very few who provide the level of service, care, and dedication that Kim does. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate professional.

Kim helped us buy a house and is helping us move. We had been about to submit an offer on a Friday when she sent us another house that was more attuned to our needs. At 4pm I saw the house. At 5pm we submitted the offer. By 7pm the open house was cancelled and we closed 30 days later. AMAZING!

We needed to find something quickly to relocate for work, but we didn't want to compromise on our must-haves. Kim really listened to us and helped us find the perfect home for this exciting new chapter! So grateful to have her on our side, from discussing timelines to finding the right mortgage broker to checking in after we moved in!
Incredible listener. Provided us with many options. Made the difficult decision to leave our hometown and relocate 2 hours away. Kim made the process easy and enjoyable.
Kim makes the home selling process simple, transparent and easy. Excellent market knowledge, communication, support and professionalism! Would definitely work with Kim again!!

Kim went above and beyond my expectations since I was relocating and downsizing from another state there were many times when Kim filled in for me, meeting tradespeople and holding a virtual walkthrough via FaceTime. There was even a day when my driveway had been "cheesed" and Kim went to the store to get supplies and then cleaned up the cheese that was either melted or frozen or both Kim also provided potential contacts for work I wanted done prior to move in, as well as contact info on medical resources I needed upon arrival. I know this is the care Kim gives to all her clients not just her mom. I'm very proud of Kim and so glad she was my agent.
Kim was a joy to work with. She helped us sell our home of 24 years and find our home for the next. Highly recommended her!

Kim is a fantastic realtor. She is very knowledgeable, honest, and approachable. She welcomes any and all questions and takes time to explain the intricacies of home buying. We really appreciated her expertise when buying our first home. It was an overwhelming experience but she kept us on track, informed, and supported throughout the process. Although we are hopeful this is a "forever home" we would happily work with her in the future if needed.

Kim took time to understand our goals for selling our longtime home. She created a strategy that would meet and ultimately succeed those goals. Kim had a vision for how the house would best sell (quickly and for the highest price) and she did the work to get the house ready. She was true to herself while also honoring our questions and feedback. Kim was a dream to work with!
Jeffrey Byle
Kim is excellent all levels of the real estate process (purchase/sell/current market conditions/negotiating/ overall operations). Definitely would recommend to others looking to buy or sell.

Kim was wonderful, and we are extremely satisfied. She made professional recommendations and managed all the activities to best market our property. We experienced very little stress in what can be a very stressful process. We owe that to Kim and her handling of all the details. We strongly recommend Kim to anyone selling a property. We'll reach out to her in the future when we are in the market to buy or sell.

I've worked with Kim Mills on the sale of my previous home a few years ago. The experience I had at that time made it a no-brainer for me to connect with her again when I was planning my strategy to buy again. She suggested that we meet to discuss our strategy and we talked through basically everything. I appreciated her attention to detail, her communication style, and he willingness to dig in and do the work for me. This was my first time buying a house with Kim as my realtor and she made the experience so incredibly simple it makes me want to buy a house every week. All throughout the process she communicated well, kept me in the loop, provided guidance and suggestions, and explained things in a way for someone not in the realty field to easily understand. I'm so incredibly grateful for Kim and the experience she has gave me.

I have purchased 3 homes with Kim and she is the definition of a true professional. She is organized, thoughtful, knowledgeable (homes in the area & the process), customer service focused, calm, strategic, and has great communication skills. I don't have a single thing that could have gone better.
She asked me to consider putting my home on the market at a slightly lower price than I was planning for, but her strategy worked perfectly. We had 25+ showings in 2-days and several offers went significantly over list.
Kim is a fantastic relator, but an even better person :).

Kim was AMAZING from our first interaction, through every step of the way - some hard losses that she supported and was open to debrief through to finally buying our first home! She was lockstep with our lender, which truly made it feel like we were a team. The process was scary and new for us, but Kim made sure to extend her expertise along the way and was able to get creative with our offers! So thankful for everything she did for us throughout these past few months - will miss our daily communications!

Kim was dedicated to ensuring that my needs as a buyer were met and continues to maintain this level of commitment. We encountered some challenges with the seller and Kim effectively advocated on my behalf. I plan to utilize Kim's services in the future and will gladly refer anyone to her who is in search of a real estate agent for buying or selling a property.
Timothy Thompson
Kim was fantastic.
She listened & understood our needs and we executed the plan together.
The home sold for over $150k more than asking due to a reasonable asking price which attracted a lot of interest, resulting in a bidding war.
