Hi, I'm Kim Gilmore.

Selling lifestyles
Real estate is personal.
Real estate to me has always been about more than a property. It is about understanding what matters to my clients, seeing possibilities, and helping people make decisions that feel right for their lives — whether that means finding a first home, making a strategic investment, selling a much-loved family property, or escaping to a cottage by the lake.
As a REALTOR®, I bring energy, attention to detail and a thoughtful, highly personal approach to every client relationship. I believe in listening first, communicating openly, and making sure my clients feel informed and confident throughout the process. Every move is personal, and my approach is tailored to you.
Experience that brings a different perspective.
My real estate experience spans residential purchases and sales, investment properties, cottages and land, and property management. As a property owner and investor, with years spent renovating and improving homes, I have developed a strong eye for value and potential others may overlook.
Having lived and moved both within Canada and internationally, I understand that a move can represent a new beginning, a major life transition, an investment in the future, or simply the pursuit of a lifestyle that feels more like you.
What makes working with me different.
A career chosen with purpose.
Real estate is a true passion for me, and the path that brought me here continues to shape the way I work today. With a Master’s degree in Biology and a career spanning consulting, sustainable building, project leadership, and international negotiations, I bring careful listening, methodical thinking and strong negotiation skills to every transaction — with my clients’ goals always in focus.
Finding what feels right.
I take the time to get to know my clients, understand what they are working toward, and advocate for them throughout. Because the right home is about more than checking boxes — it is about finding the space and lifestyle that truly fit.
Firsthand investment experience.
As an owner of investment properties, I understand firsthand what it takes to make a property work — from recognizing potential to navigating the realities of ownership and management. This practical perspective helps my clients strategically evaluate properties and make informed investment decisions.
Certified Staging Agent.
Great presentation creates connection. As a CSA-certified staging agent, I bring a trained eye to showcase what makes a home special — creating a strong first impression and helping buyers fall in love from the moment they walk in.
Giving back is part of every deal.
A portion of every sale is donated to CHEO — a cause deeply meaningful to me and my family. In partnering with me, you are also helping make a difference for children and families in our community who need it most.

Ottawa is home — in every sense of the word.
Born and raised here, you'll often find me biking around the city — to show a client a home or to take in all the beauty and charm Ottawa has to offer. At home, life revolves around our active family — wandering local markets, exploring trails, or heading to the hockey rink or the pool.
These moments shape how I approach my work: with warmth, purpose, and a deep appreciation for the joys that make a house feel like home.
Let's begin your next chapter.
I would love to learn more about where you are headed — and help you get there.
