Kim Fazio decided to become a realtor as it combined two of her passions - helping people and an interest in local real estate.
She understands the importance of differentiating her approach to the needs of her clients and the state of the local market. Kim enjoys educating her clients about the real estate process and guiding them every step of the way from her initial consultation to closing. She has found her background in psychology and education prepared her well for a career in real estate. As a former teacher and counselor, Kim has excellent listening and negotiating skills and enjoys creative problem-solving. She also has an appreciation for interior design which allows her to assist clients when preparing a property for the market or visualizing a new home’s ultimate potential.
Kim has lived in Northern Virginia for more than 30 years and is familiar with its many different communities. She grew up in Alexandria and attended local public schools; including West Potomac High School in Fairfax County. She went on to graduate from James Madison University with a B.S. in Psychology. Upon graduation, Kim moved to Italy to teach at an international school. After returning home, she began working for the local school system and obtained a Masters in Education from George Mason University. She purchased her first property in the area at the age of 23 and over time realized what a powerful investment tool real estate could be.
Working with an agent who grew up in the community and understands its unique assets is an indisputable advantage. Kim is not only familiar with the neighborhoods, but with the cultural, culinary, retail, and recreational offerings that make this area so special. Having grown up in the Ft. Hunt area, she and her husband decided to move back to this charming neighborhood nestled along the Potomac River to raise their family of three children. In her spare time, she enjoys cheering on her children in their different sporting events, and local family adventures, and walks along the GW bike path. Kim believes strongly in giving back to the community through volunteer work and collaborations with local charities and schools.
