Kim founded River Valley because she identified a strong need for engaged, informed agents who can provide knowledgeable guidance through the issues that are specific to the types of properties that are found in the Delaware River towns and surrounding farm and rural areas. Furthermore, she believes that local, independent businesses are part of what defines the River Valley and wanted to establish a private and owner operated company. Her experiences with both national and franchised companies left her disillusioned about their priorities and true value to the local community.
