People Are Talking

Kim Lucero, Licensed Agent & Buyer’s Specialist

Kim’s interest in Real Estate began in the late 90’s when she bought her first home. She was fascinated by the whole process and was amazed at how it felt to be a new homeowner! That interest grew into a passion to help others obtain that feeling, and in 2006 she received her real estate license.

Kim is what is affectionately known as an “Air Force Brat” and proud to be one. Her father’s military career took her and her family many places, and at the time she could not really appreciate the moving every 2 ½ years. Now she realizes what a unique opportunity she had to experience different cultures and communities, it also gave her the insight on what an emotional process moving really is.

2 sons and a daughter are all attending American River College, all the while being gainfully employed! They have worked hard to accomplish their goals and understand what it takes to achieve, and as a mother Kim couldn’t be prouder of them.

Before entering the world of Real Estate, Kim spent the last 20 years as a Registered Dental Assistant, which will help her in her dealings with clients looking to buy or sell a home. How you might ask? Her love of working with people and making them comfortable in what can be a very stressful and sometimes scary situation (sitting in the dentist’s chair!) translates easily into the stressful and sometimes scary situation of selling and/or purchasing a home.

In Kim’s free time she loves to spend it with family, which usually means food, fun and laughter, they are a family that loves to laugh together and they do it as much as possible! They love to go camping and take road trips. When at home Kim can usually be found in the middle of some type of repair project, her hands on approach to maintaining her home is very rewarding for her.

Kim feels that these characteristics and life experiences have made her a better person, and will also make her a better real estate agent…she looks forward to serving her clients in their real estate needs!
