About Me

Integrity, dedication, and deep local knowledge are the foundation of how I work. I’m Tony Kim, a Southern California real estate professional with 20 years of full-time experience, proudly serving the South Bay communities I know best.

I grew up in Torrance and am now a homeowner in Palos Verdes, where I’m also raising my two sons. This isn’t just where I work. It’s home. My lifelong connection to the area gives me an unmatched understanding of its neighborhoods, schools, market trends, and lifestyle. I truly believe knowing the community inside and out makes a meaningful difference for my clients.

I became a real estate agent in 2006 and have since closed over $100 million in transactions — built through hard work, consistency, and a deep commitment to every client I serve. Today, I lead Tony Kim & Associates with Compass — the #1 real estate brokerage in the United States by total transaction volume, giving my clients access to the most powerful marketing, technology, and national network in the industry.

What I enjoy most about living and working in the South Bay is its diversity, culture, and strong sense of community. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is handing clients the keys to their new home, whether they’re first-time buyers, relocating to the area, international clients, or sellers moving into their next chapter. I specialize in Palos Verdes, Torrance, and surrounding areas. As a Korean-American, I’m fluent in both English and Korean, which lets me serve South Bay’s deep Korean-American community in Torrance, Palos Verdes, and Gardena, as well as international Korean buyers relocating to Los Angeles.

Outside of real estate, I stay active and involved in both local and overseas missions, always looking for ways to give back to the community. These days, I enjoy running along the beach, playing tennis, and spending quality time with my family. My priorities are simple and clear: God, my family, and my clients, in that order.
