Our Team
Founder
Peter Kim, M.D.
Peter is an anesthesiologist in California and the founder of Curbside Real Estate. After experiencing firsthand how difficult it was to find clear, reliable homebuying guidance tailored to medical professionals, he launched Curbside in 2011 with a simple but powerful goal: to make the process easier for physicians who are already balancing demanding careers.
What began as a personal frustration became a mission-driven company built to save doctors time, money, and unnecessary stress. Peter’s vision continues to shape Curbside today, ensuring that medical students, residents, and attending physicians receive thoughtful guidance, specialized resources, and trusted connections designed specifically for the realities of a medical career
Chief Executive Officer
Sue Lee
With more than twenty years of experience as a Certified Financial Planner and licensed Realtor, Sue brings both expertise and heart to her work. As the partner of a physician, she understands the unique financial pressures that shape the early years of a medical career. Long hours, delayed income growth, complex loan options. She has helped thousands of clients navigate those realities, connecting them with the right mortgage solutions and trusted real estate partners so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Sue believe home should feel like a place to rest, gather, and build a life outside the hospital walls. That belief guides the way she serves every client.
When she’s not working, you’ll find her in Southern California with her family and their spirited dog, hiking favorite trails, playing tennis, or planning their next adventure.

Jen brings more than twenty years of experience in real estate and operations to her role at Curbside Real Estate. With a strong background in new construction home sales and a career dedicated to driving operational and organizational excellence within large-scale organizations, she understands both the client-facing and behind-the-scenes work required to create a seamless homebuying experience.
At Curbside, Jen helps ensure that every detail is handled with care and efficiency so clients can move through the process with confidence. Her blend of real estate knowledge and operational leadership strengthens Curbside’s commitment to thoughtful, well-coordinated service.
Jen lives in Lake Oswego, Oregon with her husband, Andrew, and their two children, Jacob and Alexis. Outside of work, she spends most of her time cheering from the sidelines at her kids’ games or exploring Oregon’s beautiful trails and outdoor spaces with her family and their dogs.
We believe buying a home should feel informed, strategic, and ultimately exciting–not overwhelming.
