Meet Kimm!
Hey, I’m Kimm! I’ve had the incredible fortune to live in this amazing community, and I couldn’t imagine being born and raised in the South. I’m a real estate agent with a passion for helping my clients buy or sell a home.
When I'm not selling homes, you can find me enjoying good food with friends and family, cooking, or watching a good movie on Netflix. I'll never have enough soul food in my life because that's what Mississippi is all about.

UNDERSTANDING THE NAR LAWSUIT
The NAR Settlement addresses allegations of anti-competitive behavior in real estate broker commissions, with NAR and major real estate companies agreeing to pay $418 million to settle the claims and implement changes in commission rules. Sellers may see more transparent and negotiable commission structures, potentially giving them more control over payments to listing and buyer agents, though the total fees paid by sellers may remain similar. Buyer agents may now be compensated directly by buyers, or sellers may cover their fees. These changes aim to increase transparency and marketability for sellers while requiring buyers to sign agreements detailing their agent's compensation. Practices will evolve based on market conditions.
UNDERSTANDING HOW AGENTS ARE COMPENSATED
Real estate agents are typically compensated through commission fees, which are a percentage of the selling price of a property. In most cases, sellers are responsible for paying these fees to both the listing agent and the buyer's agent. When a home seller signs a listing agreement, they agree to pay these agents a percentage of the final selling price, commonly ranging from 5% to 6%. The listing agent typically splits this commission with the buyer's agent, often in a 50/50 split, though this can vary.

THE PRE-APPROVAL PROCESS
Should you require financing, we're here to assist you with obtaining pre-approval. We have connections with premier lenders who can offer the most suitable financing options tailored to your specific needs.
MAKING AN OFFER
Here's additional information about making an offer on a potential home. As we consider a purchase price, these criteria will guide our evaluation. Our offer package will encompass a purchase contract, a pre-approval letter, proof of funds, and signed disclosures.
HOME INSPECTION REPORT
We can suggest 3-5 contractors who are willing to visit the property and offer an invaluable external assessment of its condition. We strongly advise taking this step to ensure you fully understand what you're purchasing.
CLOSING ON YOUR HOME
After your offer is accepted, the process of closing on the home starts. Here are the usual steps:
- It's important to note that closing costs often range from 3 to 6% of the loan amount.
- Typically, the process begins within one business day after the purchase agreement is accepted. Your initial deposit, as outlined in the contract, is then placed into a designated account. The period from the acceptance of the offer to the recording of the ownership transfer generally lasts between 21 to 45 days, though purchases made entirely in cash may close faster.
HOME WARRANTY (Optional)
To add value to our service, we offer a complimentary home warranty for the first year you own your home. Here’s more detail on what’s included for you.
