About Kim
Kim was raised in Los Gatos hills and lived in different areas of Silicon Valley. In 1985, she moved to Santa Cruz to be closer to the ocean and immediately embraced the relaxed vibe that coastal living has to offer. Santa Cruz is an exceptional area with a unique setting, and it also has the perfect climate. Kim was extremely fortunate to have raised her kids in Aptos and at the same time create a close group of lifelong friends.
Kim knows most of the neighborhoods in Santa Cruz County, as well as the nooks and crannies, and the hidden gems. Her real estate knowledge covers several types of properties such as beach, country, and mountain properties. In addition to buying and listing homes all over Santa Cruz County, her real estate territory expands to Silicon Valley as well as South Santa Clara County.

Kim utilizes her team of professional service providers to assist with clients buying and selling needs, including stagers, painters, designers, repair person, and inspectors. Kim is a hands-on Realtor and will get her hands dirty to get the job done! She is very meticulous and will be alongside you every step of the way.

Where do we start? I guess I will start with “truly grateful”. Given the particular time in which we live, with the market never more competitive, not to mention limited, Kim saw way beyond what we could have imagined, and made it happen! She not only listened and took into account the features we were looking for in our “forever home”, but she was instrumental in guiding us to the perfect place! With her vast knowledge of the beautiful landscape of the Santa Cruz and surrounding Counties, that includes not only the geography and topology, but the best communities for our investment, Kim directed us to areas and homes we otherwise would not know existed! She is honest, forthright and genuine, and did a phenomenal job in going to bat for us in securing a remarkable piece of property. We could not be more pleased with working with Kim. She lends not only the expertise in real estate and negotiating, moreover, she is warm, friendly and truly cares about her clients. This is was vital for us given the emotional ups and downs in securing a safe, beautiful and restful home. She quickly responded to the many…many texts and phone calls we placed to her, and responded very timely to each one tirelessly. We could not recommend Kim more highly! Thank you, Kim! We love our new home! You knew we would! 😊

Kim Bradburn-Gonzales is an outstanding real estate agent. When we decided the time was right to relocate to the Santa Cruz area we were fortunate to have Kim help us navigate the search process. In retrospect, we weren’t certain we knew what we were looking for. Kim knows this area very well and had the greatest patience and generously guided us for nearly a year as we grappled with our changing priorities. Happily, she showed us the home we wanted and closed the deal in a timely fashion. In the meantime Kim prepared our old house for the market. Believe me, Kim knows what she is doing! Our house in Gilroy sold in one and a half days with a full price offer!
