Who is Kim Daugherty?
I am the Broker/Owner of d + b real estate - McKinney's newest boutique real estate firm We are a customer service-driven company whose focus is on the family, because we ARE family. "Real Family. Real Estate." is not just the slogan, but it's how we run our business. We understand that purchasing a home is one of the largest investments most people will ever make, and we also understand that a move doesn't just affect mom or dad, but the entire family. That is why we are experts in the area schools, neighborhoods and community benefits that each city provides. In addition to serving families, we also provide home buying & selling services to the first time buyer, empty-nesters, relocations & everyone in between!
Before opening d + b real estate in December 2008, d (me - Kim Daugherty) and b (Laura Barron - my sister) partnered up as The Barron-Daugherty Team at RE/MAX.
I grew up in Carrollton, TX. After graduating from Newman Smith High School I went on to recieve my Bachelors Degree from Texas A&M University with an emphasis in business and speech communication courses. I then returned to the DFW area where I worked as a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative. I later married an incredible man, Kevin, moved to the Northern Virginia/DC area where Kevin was stationed in the Army and made the decision to be a stay-at-home mom when I gave birth to our first son. I didn't begin my real estate career until 2002 when I decided to go back to work part-time...just to "test out the waters" to see if real estate would be a good fit. As it turned out, I immediately saw this profession as one that offered the flexibility I was looking for. In 2003 our family made the move back to Texas and settled on McKinney as the place to raise our family. My sister, Laura Barron, had found that McKinney was the BEST place to live and raise a family. I began working for a large home builder and learned all about the new construction business. Knowing that I would eventually want to earn my Texas real estate license I made the decision to find a successful agent that I could work with as an assistant. It turns out this was the best decision I could have made...
A Successful Team hired me as their assistant in 2004 where I quickly learned what it takes to be a success in this business. I recieved my Texas license in January 2005 and immediately focused on working with buyers. I have made it my goal to make the home buying process as fun & stress-free as possible! I don't believe that the real estate business has to be boring and old-fashioned. Technology is so important to today's buyers and I'm making it a priority in my business to seek out the most effective resources for building my business and educating customers about McKinney Real Estate and Real Estate in Collin County.
In 2006 my sister, Laura Barron, joined our team as the Client Care Coordinator and Buyer's Agent. It wasn't long that we realized what a dynamic team we could make together. What better way to work than with your own family? In January 2008 we parted ways with our team and formed The Barron-Daugherty Team....
That leads us up to today! After learning from the "The Big Guys" (RE/MAX, KW, C21), we realized that it doesn't take a big name to make you a great agent. It takes dynamic marketing, unparalelled customer service and a true passion for your job to make you a success. We're proud to offer McKinney a new choice... d + b real estate!
Each Real Estate market is different. As a REALTOR, specializing in Collin County, I focus on the specific needs of home buyers & sellers in this market.
NEW HOMES: I have experience working with a home builder and can use this expertise when negotiating the best deal for buyers looking to purhase new construction.
FIRST TIME BUYERS & SELLERS: Newbies are put at ease when they work with me! I have created a step-by-step document that outlines each step of the home buying & selling process that is specific to the local market. Clients will know what to expect at every stage of the process. Knowledge is the best tool!
ALL buyers & sellers benefit from my list of Vendors that I have compiled from satisfied clients. Whether you are looking for a painter, HVAC technician, masonry contractor, lender, title company, handyman, babysitter or even the best place to get a slice of pizza in town, I have the answers!!
ALL buyers also benefit from the Dream Home finder. Stop searching through the big websites that turn up way too many homes that don't meet your specific criteria. I'll create a personalized home search website that meets YOUR criteria. Looking for a home with a kitchen bigger than 12 x 14? I can do that! Looking for a golf-course lot in a subdivision? I can do that! Looking for a historical home located within a designated historical district? I can do that too...Let me help you buy or sell your McKinney home!
I specialize in Collin County:
However, I also serve Dallas, Carrollton, Richardson, Wylie, Sachse, Rockwall, Rowlett, The Colony & Addison. I love the Dallas area and there is a perfect city for everyone!!
"Being first time home buyers, we didn't know what to expect and had many concerns. All of our concerns were put to rest after the first day of working with Kim. She had our best interests in mind through the entire process and helped us get exactly what were looking for and for less than we could have imagined. Kim was extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and such a delight to work with. She made our buying experience enjoyable and trouble-free. I would recommend her and the Kraft team to anyone looking for a realtor." Kym and Brad Jackson
