Karynne Thim

Karynne loves what she does and where she lives and feels fortunate to spend every day helping others experience life, invest and flourish here in the South Bay. Karynne's husband and she have lived in Hermosa Beach for over 20 years and have a daughter in college. She went through elementary and middle school in Hermosa and graduated from Mira Costa, so Karynne has familiarity with both school districts. In addition to their family home, they have invested in income-producing properties (the best investments they have ever made!), so Karynne is a believer in investing for the future and offers a wide range of first-hand knowledge. One thing Karynne is not is a high-pressure salesperson. Her clients tell her they appreciate her advisory skills and that she’s a one-stop-shopping real estate resource. Karynne understands the various ever-changing phases of life, family needs and how to live successfully here. Originally from Arizona, childhood summer vacations to California sparked a lifelong love of the ocean and the beach. Karynne moved here shortly after graduating from the University of Arizona. She’s established deep roots in the South Bay, living in Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, San Pedro and Marina del Rey over the years, and often jokes that she’s been doing this so long, that if given an address in Manhattan, Hermosa or Redondo, she can probably envision the homes on any given block! Working through high school and college, her early career days were dedicated to learning all aspects of real estate. She collaborated with various companies that specialized in land speculation, industrial warehouses, condo conversions and shopping centers. She has always been an initiative-taker and got her first job when she was fourteen at a nearby interior design studio, doing odd jobs and accounting (yes, even at 14 she had a knack for numbers!). Although the world of real estate is fast-paced and she often works long hours to provide top-shelf service to her clients, Karynne takes time to enjoy time with family, friends and her favorite activities of volleyball, paddle surfing and fundraising for VHL cancer research through a non-profit she founded, the Double Strand VHL Cancer Research Foundation.
