Kimberly is simply excellent. She was critical in helping us find our home, from regularly checking in to giving great negotiating advice. It was all the more important since we were living abroad for most of the time during the house search. When a competing bidder made a similar offer on the house, it came down to her stellar reputation and existing relationship with the other agent that led the sellers to want to work with us. It was thanks to Kimberly that we closed on our dream home and we are incredibly grateful for all her work.

Kimberly Cestari was truly terrific to work with. She is smart, responsive, and detail oriented. She made the process of buying our new home and selling out old one seem less. She was thoughtful about our children and even our pets, working to make the experience easier and better for them. I canāt recommend her highly enough.

SOLD OUR HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN. When we met Kimberly, she said she could sell our house in a week. She sold it in a DAY. From the sign that said "Coming Soon" to "Sold." And she was able to send us the paperwork to sign online while we were on a cruise in the Atlantic Ocean. We didn't need an open house. We didn't need staging or fixing up. We got $50K more than our asking price with no contingencies. She knew our neighborhood, was extremely accessible (I think she works 24/7), and even recommended an apartment building for us. Kimberly was great to work with and we would totally recommend her.

Kimberly did an excellent job at all steps of the selling process. Her calm demeanor and depth of experience were reassuring. She knows thbe DC real estate scene throughly and is highly respected for her work. Kimberly identified what prep work would be most important to buyers which helped us get a good price and a quick sale. She was very responsive to questions and never left us wondering what was coming next. We have no reservations in recommending Kimberly to any seller who wants to be confident when approaching the challenge of selling their home.

Kimberly is awesome: she is exactly what you want and need in a real estate agent. I will absolutely use Kimberly as my agent again, when either buying or selling.
When my wife and I purchased our first home, Kimberly educated us on the process, guided us to homes relevant to our search criteria, expertly advised us on important considerations of both the areas and the homes, and then deftly negotiated to get us the best deal. She was responsive and friendly throughout the entire process. We were very happy that we used Kimberly as our agent.
I also turned to Kimberly for a second opinion when I had to oversee the sale of a parentās house out of state. Again, she was responsive and friendly - and her advice enabled my family to receive an extra 10% on the sale price of the home.

Kimberly is nothing short of amazing! We have worked with her many times over the last 15 years, and every time she goes above and beyond. Her knowledge of the market is staggering, and she applies that knowledge to get us the absolute best deal possible. Kimberly has helped us buy and sell houses and also helped us rent out our properties, and she really takes care of everything. Kimberly has an entire armada she can call up to get the house ready for sale. For our most recent house sale, we were already living out of state when it was time to prep to sell. Kimberly arranged to have the house painted, walls repaired, the carpets changed out, and the kitchen touched up. For a previous home sale, she had all the wood floors refinished.
Every time we worked with her, I felt like we were her top priority. Additionally, she is always available and easy to reach, either by phone, text or email.
Kimberly is an honest, no nonsense realtor with the knowledge, skill and character to negotiate the best deal for her client. I cannot recommend her enough!

Our experience working with Kimberly was outstanding from start to finish. She wisely counselled us on the asking price. After that her strategies were outstanding from posting the 'coming soon', a floor plan, and pictures. We had more than 40 visits to our house in 2 1/2 days and 6 offers over our asking price. We could not be happier.

We just sold our house in Chevy Chase, DC, in less than a week and at price exceeding the listing price by 23% using Kimberly Cestari as our agent. She is on every list as one of the top agents in Washington and I can confirm that her ranking is deserved fully.
We contacted Kimberly in early Spring. The apartment we were moving to would not be ready until June 1, so Kimberly recommended we could sell before moving out, but we needed to declutter, and use our own furniture and art for staging. She made excellent suggestions, including identifying what we should get rid of as well as what should be painted before opening the house for sale. She also made superb recommendations on painters and cleaners, and they responded immediately once we mentioned her name. The moving company she recommended, Metropolitan, was fabulous in terms of adhering to deadlines, intelligent packing, and zero breakage.
At her own expense, Kimberly did two very important things for Internet marketing. First, she hired someone to do detailed measurements of the house using a laser; resulting in very nice plans for every level of the house, and showed that the useful area exceeded the recorded area by 30%. She then used the floor plans and a lovely exterior photo to garner interest for the house during a Coming Soon period. Second, she hired an excellent photographer to shoot the house and she chose the best pictures to post on line. As a result, we had dozens of prospective agents and buyers interested immediately, some waiting for our house to go active so they could see it on the first day, and we had five offers in five days. Kimberlyās years of experience helped us to sell our house for top dollar and we valued her knowledge of the ins and outs of todayās estate market, which can be rather tricky to navigate unless you have an advocate like Kimberly on your side We can highly recommend her.

We are so fortunate to have met Kimberly when we did. We met Kimberly through a neighbor, who recommended her for her expert knowledge of the Chevy Chase market. She is very professional, explains her thoughts clearly, and super responsive and accessible. She helped us buy our new home in a very competitive market. I know she will continue to serve as a great neighborhood resource!

Kimberly was a fantastic choice for us. Having lived in Chevy Chase DC for a few years, I saw how active she was in the community (neighborhood listserve, Facebook page + signs in front of her listings). This made her our 1st choice when looking for our new home. She did not hesitate to assist us, even with our modest budget. We were flexible with our move date, but had a more rigid location preference. When a home became available that met our criteria she scheduled a showing for the next day (a Sunday). There were multiple offers, but with Kimberly's guidance and advocacy we are now looking forward to moving to our new home. She knows the market, has many connections within the industry, and could not have been easier to work with. I would not hesitate to work with Kimberly again, and I highly recommend her.

Kimberly Cestari must be the best residential real estate agent in the Washington, DC area. I was looking for a very specific property ā a luxury row home with an additional dwelling unit and outdoor space. Kimberly exceeded my expectations. We worked collaboratively and I took comfort in her deep knowledge at every step of the process. She showed me how much details matter in home-buying and focused on not just find āa home,ā but āthe right home.ā
She was spot on with the valuation (less than 1% difference from the appraisal). As my buyerās agent, she negotiated below list price AND a contractorās warranty ā all with a zero down VA loan. She kept me involved throughout the process and I always felt that I was making informed decisions. She also vetted my lender and worked directly with them to protect my time.
Kimberly cares deeply about her clients - even after close. She helped me navigate city processes and assisted in tenant lease negotiations. She has my highest recommendation and I plan on working with Kimberly again in the future and referring her to my friends.

Kimberly is the queen of real estate in the DMV! We reached out to her based on prior reviews and it was the best decision ever. As first-time buyers, we were anxious about the process, but she made it enjoyable and effortless. She is very responsive and does a phenomenal job at explaining everything. She is laser focused on finding you the best property and negotiating the best price with the seller.
FYI, she was at dinner with friends when the seller countered our offer. While at dinner, she went back and forth with the seller's agent and was able to close the deal that night. She genuinely cares about her clients.
We also chose to use one of her lenders who turned out to be equally incredible. I would RECOMMEND Kimberly without a doubt. Wish we could give her 10 stars!!! Thank you again, Kimberly! Can't wait to do another deal together.

We canāt praise Kimberly enough for her hard work, her professional advice, and her attention to every detail when she was our realtor in the summer and fall of 2022. We engaged Kimberly to guide us through the biggest financial transaction of our lives, the sale of our house where we had lived for 53 years. We slept well at night with the security of knowing we had picked the most savvy and experienced realtor in our Barnaby Woods neighborhood to represent us.
Once we completed our move from our house, Kimberly got to work with us to get our house ready for the market. First, she told us she was setting the asking price to ensure that the house would draw the greatest pool of potential buyers. Then she assured us the house would sell nicely āas isā with only minor touch ups, sparing us both the expense and the hassle of āstagingā the house and doing elaborate improvements.
Kimberlyās strategies worked beautifully. Her skilled marketing brought a large stream of interested parties to look at the house. Within just a few days of the house going on the market, Kimberly had corralled four excellent bids and we simply picked the best one. The house immediately went under contract for a price that far exceeded the asking price.
In the period between the sale contract and the settlement, Kimberly once again proved she was a consummate professional. A problem arose concerning the boundary line between our property and our next-door neighborsā lot. There had to be an agreement on the boundary line, or the sale could not go through. Kimberly showed her skill by negotiating a deal with the buyerās agent on the boundary line. This broke the logjam and paved the way for the settlement to happen. Kimberly was our outstanding agent from start to finish!

Kimberly is an outstanding real estate agent. She knows the area extremely well, and she is a full-service realtor. For us, this included relying on her to schedule and meet vetted contractors to paint, repair, landscape, and stage our home in the two weeks between when we moved out and when the home went on the market. She is reliable and very responsive, which is so helpful when going through the stressful process of selling your home. Also, she understood how the market was changing as we prepared to list our home; interest rates were increasing by the week, and she understood how to adjust the price of our home before it went on the market to ensure there was quick interest. While other houses sat, we received an offer within 24 hours, and Kimberly negotiated a great price for us that included a closing within 3 1/2 weeks. We recommend Kimberly without reservations for buying or selling your home.

Growing up in Chevy Chase, DC, I know a lot of agents, but when it came time to sell our family home, I knew who to call ā Kimberly Cestari. Her reputation proceeded her and she did not disappoint! From our very first meeting, she outlined a plan to whip the house into shape, set a timeline/budget and gave me an idea of what it would sell for fixed up and not fixed up. We chose to have the work done and Kimberly managed it all! She cleared out the house and donated appropriate items to various different charities (medical, clothing, furniture) and even used DCās bulk trash service and hauled a few things to the street herself! Once the house was empty, she got estimates for painting, cleaning, landscaping, oil tank removal, plumbing work and boiler replacement. We approved the estimates and she oversaw all of the work. In a short period of time, the house was ready for photos and we were live on the market. With some successful pre-marketing, we had early interest and ended up selling the house in 2 days for $131,000 over asking price. Couldnāt be happier with the results or the decision to hire Kimberly!

We feel so lucky to have found Kimberly! We first worked with her just over a year ago, thanks to a friendās recommendation, when we were moving to Chevy Chase DC and looking to rent in the area. We had struggled to find a good rental on our own, but Kimberly helped us find an amazing row house in an incredible location very quickly and made the whole process so seamless for us.
When we felt ready to begin looking for a home to buy, we knew we wanted to work with Kimberly again, and she more than surpassed our expectations. Kimberly is warm and friendly while also being incredibly effective and efficient. She knew the market SO well and provided us with excellent guidance at every turn. We knew we were searching during a difficult market for buyers, and Kimberly helped us remain upbeat and optimistic while also being very forthcoming and honest about the landscape. She was incredibly patient with us during our search of about 4 months, even and especially when we were not quite as patient with each other ;)
Kimberly was always very responsive when we had questions, and in the unlikely situation that she didnāt know the answer to a question offhand, she would look into it and get back to us with an excellent answer promptly. She had great recommendations for other professionals to work with, from loan officers to home inspectors to flooring contractors.
All in all, we are absolutely thrilled with the home we ended up with and the service we received from Kimberly. We would recommend her to anyone!

Kimberly Cestari was simply amazing!. As soon as we met her, we could see that she had exceptional knowledge about our neighborhood and the local housing market. Kimberly made excellent suggestions about work we needed to do to prepare the house for showing and to maximize the sale price. In addition to the usual touch-up painting and floor refinishing, she strongly advised us to remodel our semi-finished basement into a rec room with a powder room and laundry. Kimberly took charge of the process and selected all the contractors to do the work the basement needed, including painting, carpeting, lighting and plumbing . The finished basement looked great! And, the work was done for less than half the price of an earlier estimate we had received.
In the end, the house never formally went on the market. We were approached by another realtor who knew the house was going up for sale and Kimberly took over and guided us through a negotiation, a contract and closing that netted us a very favorable sale price. We would not hesitate to recommend Kimberly to anyone getting ready to sell their house.

Kimberly Cestariās stellar reputation preceded her when my husband and I met with her. We wanted to sell our 90-year-old house in Chevy Chase DC and buy a condo. She made all the difference in both operations. Once we told her what we were looking for, using her extensive knowledge of the market and networking, she led us to an apartment that checked all our boxes and more. Her bidding strategy resulted in an offer that was accepted immediately. When it came to selling our house, she made suggestions for improvements and then supplied the contractors who, for excellent prices, made the house look new again. Again, with market savvy and her large network, the house went on the market on a Saturday and we had four bids by Tuesday, all above the asking price. Kimberly has a deep understanding of financing and real estate law. She is calm, supportive, and engaging. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate in the Washington area.

Kimberly Cestari took on the sale of my Chevy Chase property under difficult circumstances. I had two basement apartments with tenants who wanted to buy houses before moving, and the housing market was such that low inventory made house purchases difficult.

Kimberly did a terrific job in listing and selling my house. She knows the Chevy Chase DC neighborhood very well. She gave excellent advice in setting the asking price at a number which invited substantial interest but was also designed to generate higher bids. And it did. My house went on the market on a Monday morning. There were over 15 showings on Monday and Tuesday, several bids over three days, and I signed a contract Wednesday evening for $60K over asking.

Kimberly Cestari is the "Best" and a brilliant agent with Long and Foster.
I met her ten years ago to receive a market analysis of the DC real estate market and knew than that she would be the agent I would like to sell my home. After 18 years in Chevy Chase, DC the time to sell was springtime 2021. Kimberly knew how to price and market my home to draw the largest interest, and then, negotiate to attain top dollar in this current real estate market. My home was sold in two days! Kimberly's network of movers and other useful resources necessary during a move were also top. Thank you Kimberly!

On behalf of my mother (who wanted to sell her house after 32 years), I researched the best realtors in the Chevy Chase, DC area. We chose Kimberly based on 1. her impressive track record of selling the most homes in the area; 2. her professionalism which includes a proactive "roll-up your sleeves" approach to supporting the seller throughout the process, and 3. her experience, which gives her not only a great network of buying agents, but great instincts when it comes to timing, negotiations, buyer psychology, etc. We were delighted with her competence, responsiveness, and results - highly recommend.

In the middle of a hot market my husband and I decided to sell our home, we of course chose Kimberly as our listing agent; this being the third time in six years, weāve used her for a real estate transaction. In the sale of our house her advertising and brochure were easily the best weāve seen in the area. The pictures were a true reflection of our home. Her advice on pricing was spot on and her suggestions on the presentation of our house were exactly what was needed. In the age of COVID her commitment to safety first must be applauded, her first regard was our wellbeing even to the point of making sure there were prescheduled and limited interactions. Her calmness in dealing with multiple offers, her patience in explaining all our options and potential outcomes reassured us we were making the best decisions. Her strong negotiations skills were to our benefit, we always felt we had a strong advocate on our side who used her wisdom and experience to great effectiveness. Kimberly was a joy to work with, we had many laughs along the way, and we would obviously use her again and empathically recommend her.

My wife and I met Kim at one of her open houses last Spring. That day, we decided she was the right person to help us find our dream home. Well, many weeks later we found exactly what we wanted. Kim was thoughtful in her guidance, responsive, incredibly patient, and guided us through the process flawlessly. There are realtors, then there is Kim.

Stellar Service, Brilliant Results, Couldn't be happier.
Kimberly's logo says it all! We wanted to get on the market quickly, but knew there was work to be done to make that happen. Kimberly swooped in, gave us an action list to increase our bottom line, got estimates, and managed the work from top to bottom. Her contractors were great to work with and gave us fantastic pricing. Her marketing plan and advertising were top notch too. She created such buzz about our house that we had multiple offers the day we listed and were under contract for well over the list price in just 12 hours! We couldn't have been happier and will gladly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking to buy or sell in the DMV.

We started working with Kimberly after a difficult search that lasted over a year without results and could not have made a better decision. We could not recommend Kimberly and her team enough. She is incredibly dedicated and has so much knowledge of the market, she made our search enjoyable and recently found us the perfect house through private sale. Kimberly was so attentive to us as her clients, was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the process and proved to be a wealth of knowledge after we closed, connecting us to her amazing network of contractors to help us see the move through. We are so grateful to Kimberly for all her help in finding our family a wonderful home.

Look no farther; Kimberly Cestari is THE REALTOR to sell your house in NW DC! Kimberly exceeded our expectations in every way: responsiveness, knowledge of the market/process, ease and results! She quickly proved why her home sales tripled that of any other single realtor in our neighborhood: 1- Kimberly quickly sized up our home and made very simple recommendations to improve it's marketability. 2 - Within 48 hours, we had gorgeous brochures and photos posted online. 3- Within 2 weeks, we had 2 offers above asking price! 4 - The painters & movers she recommended were both exceptional and very competitively priced.

I so enjoyed working with Kimberly on the sale of my Adams Morgan condo. $50K over list, no painting or staging needed, and she helped me get my extra stuff donated in a snap. She's totally responsive, professional, and effective. Wouldn't use anyone else!
