Business Profile: ‘Million dollar service’ at Foemmel Fine Homes

by | Jan 29, 2026 | Business, Featured

Kim Foemmel

Kim Foemmel loves her job and it shows. The Hopkinton real estate broker and Realtor, who has owned Foemmel Fine Homes at 1 Lumber Street for 15 years, has ranked as the town’s number one agent from 2022 through 2025 and has been among the top 1% of agents in Massachusetts.

“I own a boutique office that can provide marketing for my clients across the globe,” said Foemmel. “I love my job every day — its challenges, the ever-changing market and especially helping my clients achieve success with one of their biggest investments.”

Besides handling all the details of real estate transactions with professionalism and integrity, she assists her clients with updating their homes — including kitchens, bathrooms and painting — staging homes so they look their best and more. “I am a perfectionist with a great attention to detail,” she said. “I work to help my clients achieve the highest values for their homes.”

Since acquiring her broker’s license in 2013, Foemmel, who has sold more that $250 million in real estate, has always strived to find ways to be more effective at her job and more supportive of her clients.

“Time always seems to be a bottleneck, so I am incorporating AI into my business strategies so I can be more efficient and be in front of my clients more,” said Foemmel. She added that she hopes to expand her office with a few more agents this year so the business can help more buyers and sellers. “But I don’t ever want to get too big, because it takes my time away from my clients and the personalized real estate service I provide,” said Foemmel. “I am striving to keep a happy balance.”

Foemmel said her entrepreneurial spirit comes from her parents, who have owned a couple of businesses over the years in Wisconsin. Her mom was only 17 and still in high school when she married Kim’s dad, who was 21. They bought, took over and ran a successful dairy farm. “I was in a bonnet feeding calves at 22 months old, and my crib was in the barn,” said Foemmel. She still reflects on the values that her parents taught her including hard work, being innovative, and thinking outside the box to come up with creative solutions.

Kim Foemmel, then 22 months old, milks a cow in her family’s Wisconsin dairy farm.

Reflecting on those values and what it would have been like to run that dairy farm, Foemmel said, “The dirt is still very much in my blood. Much like farming, real estate is a 365, seven-days-a-week business. I work every holiday and have even put together a deal on Christmas Day.”

Her work ethic and enthusiasm for her business also is shown in her commitment and support of the community, which includes everything from donating to Hopkinton events to sponsoring scholarships for graduating seniors.

    Keep up the good work, don’t lose sight of what’s important. And life’s too short to drive dull cars.
