Hearth & Haven Property Management

Backed by over 20 years of Ventura County real estate experience, Hearth & Haven Property Management is led by a seasoned local broker who has navigated shifting markets since 2002. From residential sales to long-term investment strategy, that depth of experience translates into smarter tenant placement, stronger asset protection, and proactive oversight tailored to California’s regulatory landscape. We understand both the numbers and the people behind every property—and manage accordingly.
Known for her straight-talk approach and deep local market knowledge, Kim doesn’t chase transactions—she builds smart strategies. Sellers work with her to avoid costly pricing mistakes and long days on market. Buyers rely on her guidance to navigate competitive conditions and make strong, informed decisions. Landlords partner with Kim for streamlined leasing, solid tenant placement, and practical property management rooted in real numbers—not guesswork.

Kim brings a relationship-first mindset, strong communication, and clear boundaries to every deal. She believes education is power, data beats emotion, and no one benefits from surprises—especially in real estate. Her clients value her honesty, responsiveness, and ability to simplify complex decisions while protecting their long-term interests.

Whether you’re selling a home, buying your next one, or building a rental portfolio, Kim offers steady leadership, local expertise, and a results-driven plan—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
