Kim Beckham did a spectacular job of listing and selling my property in Smithville! What drew me to select her was her background as a project manager. Her ability to pay attention to detail and get things done step by step no matter what complications she had to deal with paid off in spades. I felt very blessed to have found her, and I cannot imagine anyone else even coming close to the job she did! I highly recommend her as an agent.
