With over 20 years of professional sales and leadership experience, I know how to make the sometimes daunting task of buying or selling real estate an enjoyable and stress-free experience. By leveraging my consultative, professional approach along with some “outside the box” creative thinking plus the extensive resources of @properties and the J Proctor Real Estate Team, I am able to provide my clients a best-in-class experience from the initial consultation all the way through closing and beyond.
I truly enjoy helping people achieve their dreams and I value the relationships and friendships that I have made in my career – the people are the best part of my job! My clients become friends and I love being a part of their journey. In addition, I really enjoy seeing all the unique architectural and home designs throughout Chicago’s 77 neighborhoods – each of which brings its own character and charm.
While I grew up in the Quad Cities and graduated from Northern Iowa University, the Chicagoland area has been my home for over half my life. I am a proud Avondale resident where I live with my husband Jason & our rescue dog, Murphy. In addition, I have three amazing step-kids who live throughout the Chicagoland area and share our love of the city, especially all the rooftops!
Living in the city offers SO much to do and experience – there is truly something for everyone! In my free time I enjoy exploring the city through dog-friendly patios, neighborhood street festivals, catching a game, listening to great live music or enjoying Chicago’s world-class food scene. In addition, I am passionate about dogs and was a board member for K9 4 Keeps dog rescue and most recently become a Wish Granter for Make-A-Wish of Illinois.
We collaborated with Kimberly Battles on the sale of our Avondale home in 2024. The experience was everything we wanted in working with a professional realtor.
Kim was patient in understanding our timeline and intentions. She provided expert guidance at every step of the process. Kim was exceptionally responsive and demonstrated an expansive knowledge of the marketplace. At the same time, she was equally thoughtful in providing guidance and advice.
Simply stated, Kim took care of everything from timelines and milestones, to explaining the process and being present, to completing steps and providing updates.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kim Ba...

I was in a unique situation purchasing a property from across the country. What could have been a stressful process was made incredibly easy and streamlined for me by working with Kim!
Kim was knowledgeable, communicative, swiftly handled everything that came up, and taught me a lot about the buying process. I would recommend her to anyone, anywhere!

Kim was nothing short of outstanding to work with. She was readily available and very thorough from finding out what we wanted, neighborhood suggestions, seeing multiple units with us, etc. She was very easy to communciate with and helped us find a dream condo! I will definitely work with her in the future.
From the initial conversation to understand your goals, through leveraging her knowledge of the Chicagoland area to applying her communication, organization and negotiation expertise, Kimberly knows what it takes to ensure your goals become reality. Contact her today!
