“Kim is very knowledgeable about real estate and has helped us buy our first home, so it was no question that we came back to her 12 years later to sell our starter home and buy our move up home! She was able to help us get into our home quickly and painlessly. She is professional and patient as well! We recommend her to all our friends!” - Christina and Josh Burton, Buyer Clients
"I really appreciated the personal attention from Kim. She was incredibly responsive and proved to be knowledgeable about the area and the market. She made selling and buying our home a breeze. I would be happy to recommend her to any of my friends that are looking to buy or sell a home!" -Faith Ward, Client (home owner bought and sold with Kim)
"Kim did a wonderful job selling our home! She immediately responded to any questions we had, and kept us updated on the progress. She was professional, and always went the extra mile! I highly recommend her!" - John and Stephanie Gatto (Sellers)
"Kim is extremely knowledgeable of Maryland Properties. She has earned a reputation for delivering top notch sales and settlement services to her clients. You can trust her to get things done and get you into a property to match your every detail." -James Cornell, Client (buyer)
"Loved working with Kim Novak at Star Realty, in Bel Air, MD. She helped us sell my mother's home. Kim promptly responded every single time we contacted her, had super suggestions about staging the house and took excellent photos that really showcased the home. With her guidance our home was under contract within 3 days of it going on the market, and the sale was completed within 5 wks. Amazing. On top of everything else, Kim is a very nice person."
-Cindy Williamson, (Seller)
"I'm very pleased with everything about star realty. Kim was very professional and kept me informed every step of the way. The photos that she took of my home showed it beautifully. I received an offer for list price in a little over a week. I highly recommend Star Realty."
- Delores and Lou Clarkson (Sellers)
"Kim is very skilled at selling real estate. She assisted me and my wife selling my fathers home which needed a lot of work. We had quite a few offers come very quick. The one we selected ended up walking away after the inspection, but Kim was persistent and found another buyer for the home that was able to close in the same time frame as the original buyer. Very professional and hardworking agent and team. I would use her again."
- Mark Martin (Seller)
"As first time home buyers, Kim made our process super easy and painless!! We were thrilled with Star Realty!" - Eben and Liz Holub (Buyers)
"From the very first meeting with Kim until closing my confidence in her was extremely comforting. Every step of the seller process was made easy because she is very knowledgeable and able to navigate the process of selling a home. The best thing I liked was the ease of how to communitcate with her. During the first meeting we established a timeline that was very helpful in getting me where I wanted to be in the process. We started in January, officially put the house on the market February 1, 2019, and SOLD March 4, 2019! The target deadline we set was May. Selling the house 2 months under schedule is not bad at all considering it was the dead of winter. Kim preferred communicating via email with me and once that was established it was easy to get all of my questions answered within the same day. The ability to use fax, computer, email and telephone all made it easy to transfer documents to each other. There are obviously mixed emotions when selling a house and Kim made sure I didn't drop rock bottom by encouraging me along the way. It is safe to say she is one of the top Realtors in Harford County and her services go above and beyond. Don't hesitate when looking for a Realtor to move your property, call Kim. She has a repertoire of resoursceful people to help her find the right combination of seller/buyer contacts to assist you along the way. I never dreamed the house would sell within a month, remember I was stuck on winter and people don't look for houses in winter. Wrong thought pattern. Kim is the best realtor and she has a track record to show for it." -Elaine and Daniel Griffin, Sellers

"Kim I don’t call you “My go to Girl” for nothing. I wish I had one of you in every state! As an Asset Manager it is a pleasure to know you have a true real estate professional handling your assets. I don’t think there is a bigger compliment I could pay you but to be able to honestly say “You know your business, you know your market area and you know how to sell properties”. I always enjoy working with you and I hope we close another one real soon. I know we will. Thanks again for all the hard work!" - Tim Ransom, Asset Manager at One West Bank, REO Client 
“As an REO asset manager, it is extremely important to have a strong REO agent that is responsive and will give you an honest assessment of a property within your inventory – in short – they are your eyes and ears on the ground. You need a skilled local professional that understands the local real estate market and can communicate a proper marketing/sales strategy for that individual asset to ensure it gets sold quickly and with the best return possible for the client. I had the pleasure of working with Kim Novak to help sell many assets over a 4 year period and can say she is a true professional in every sense of the word. I always knew that the property assignment was in good hands and that I would get an accurate and honest assessment which would help me greatly in communicating the proper sales strategy to my clients to ultimately get them SOLD with confidence that the bottom line return was as good as possible at that moment in time. If you are looking for a true Real Estate Professional, I highly recommend Kim Novak!” – Keith Russell, Asset Manager at National Default Services, REO Client

She gets the job done!” - Rachel Krall, Universal Title

So, thank you again and if there is anyone else that you would like me to tell that too just ask and I will." - Greg Alford, Realtor, Keller Williams

My situation was difficult, as I had to compete with new construction and Violet's skills in marketing and negotiating got my home sold. Violet got my home sold in a shorter time, than it was previously listed with another realtor. She also found my new home within my stressful time constraint. She found my new home in a less than a month and negotiated an offer, which ultimately beat a multiple offer situation. She found me the perfect home within my budget and set me up with financing contact ultimately getting me to settlement in less than 30 days.
