When Kimberly gives you advice based on her knowledge of the market, listen to her.

When Kimberly gives you advice based on her knowledge of the market, listen to her.

Kimberly represented our family in the sale of a property that, for a number of reasons, turned into a much longer and more complicated process than any of us anticipated. Throughout more than a year on the market, she demonstrated extraordinary patience, professionalism, persistence, and sound judgment. From the beginning, Kimberly gave us clear and realistic advice about pricing and the market. In hindsight, we should have listened to her. She brought us numerous offers, including several that were substantially higher than the price we ultimately accepted. Because multiple family members were involved in the decision-making, we were not always able to agree, and Kimberly handled those challenges with remarkable diplomacy and never lost her commitment to getting the property sold. Her marketing was exceptional. The photography was beautiful, the floor plans were professional and detailed, and the property description truly captured the character and essence of the home. She made sure the property was presented at its absolute best and continued to market it enthusiastically even after many months on the market. What impressed us most was Kimberly’s professionalism when the process became difficult. She remained responsive, patient and straightforward, continued to bring us buyers and offers, and never stopped advocating for our best interests. Our experience ultimately reinforced something we wish we had appreciated at the outset: when Kimberly gives you advice based on her knowledge of the market, listen to her. She knows what she is doing. We are very grateful for everything she did to get us to the closing table and would highly recommend her to anyone selling a home in the DMV. Mr & Mrs. Vining

Kimberly was an invaluable and accessible thought partner...

We were fortunate enough to have a choice of several highly-rated agents to help us sell our home in Woodley Park. Kimberly stood out because, at the outset, she seemed to truly get the value proposition of our home, and the remodeling decisions that we had made over the years. She helped us sell at the price we were asking, despite the extraordinarily challenging market conditions of spring/summer 2026. But it's not just that she helped us sell so effectively. Along the way she was an invaluable and accessible thought partner for staging decisions, contractor referrals, negotiating strategy, you name it. It was a pleasure working with her.

Kimberly was savvy, smart, responsive and knowledgeable.

Kimberly was savvy, smart, responsive and knowledgeable.

I feel so lucky that Kimberly was recommended when I had to sell the Washington DC home of my deceased sister. She was a pleasure to deal with, and she knew how to market the house successfully. She knowledgeably advised me to address some issues in the house to enhance salability. She also gave me great objective advice when we received low offers and helped me get the best price I could in a slow market. I also benefited from her experience and network when I needed handymen to address some repairs or maintenance issues that came up. For whatever service, I needed, she “had a guy” and she took steps to ensure that the work was done more efficiently and economically than I was in a position to have done. With me being in New York, she managed those tasks and generally served as eyes and ears on the property. I am a demanding customer, and I would include some opportunities to do better if I could think of any, but I cannot. Kimberly was savvy, smart, responsive and knowledgeable, and I give her my very highest recommendation.
