Professional and quick

We really enjoyed working with Kimberly. She knows the area very well, is always reachable, professional and overall helped us finding a perfect home for our family.

The very best!

The very best!

Everyone knows (at least in NW DC) that Kimberly is the best: consummate professional; extremely knowledgeable about the local market and national trends; well connected to other agents; and, always delivers results! We were fortunate to have Kimberly working with us on both a long term rental and the very quick sale of our home. She took care of us and our home when we were out of the country and stayed in regular contact. We can't recommend her highly enough!

Excellent listing and sales strategy

Excellent listing and sales strategy

We worked with Kimberly to purchase our home on Barnaby St in Washington, DC, about 11 years ago. When it was time to sell for a work relocation in the Spring of 2025, we went with Kimberly to help us out. Kimberly set a sales strategy and identified priority investments to prepare for a sale. The suggestions were great - improvements for minimal investment. I wish we would have done this years ago. Kimberly worked her network and we had two interested parties prior to the first open house. The pricing strategy was great, and we received a pre-showing offer for $100k above asking, which we elected to take. On top of that Kimberly was able to negotiate a significant no-cost lease-back to allow my son to complete high school and me to identify a new home with minimal gap between leaving DC and arriving in Santa Fe. In Santa Fe, Kimberly was able to leverage her network again to help us find a realtor (Tom Abrams) who was also excellent. All told, it was a great experience and we maximized our value on both ends of the transaction with Kimberly's great work.

Kimberly Was Terrific In An Extremely Challenging Market

Kimberly Was Terrific In An Extremely Challenging Market

Due to a family situation we had already moved away long distance when we engaged Kimberly to sell our home. The market timing couldn’t have been worse for selling a property in D.C.metro as it coincided with the start of DOGE layoffs. As we lived remotely, Kimberly was in effect the “caretaker” for our house and handled everything including working/coordinating with our home maintenance companies. While it took a good while to sell our home due to the above, Kimberly was relentless in marketing our house throughout and it resulted in our receiving a good price with the sale of our property. With the challenges we faced, Kimberly’s experience and expertise shone throughout as we were well informed and comfortable during this process. We were very pleased and fortunate to have Kimberly represent us for this transaction.

Great experience

Kimberly is one of the best agents I've ever worked with. She is very knowledgeable, professional and truly knows the DC real estate market. She provided great recommendations as for minor renovations prior to listing the home and scheduled contractors within a week. My house sold within few days right after, for more than I expected.

Working with Kimberly was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market. We were especially impressed when our home sold for the amount she predicted. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a smart, reliable agent. She’s a pleasure to work with!

Positively professional

Deciding to sell our D.C. home of 26 years was one of the hardest things my husband and I have ever done. Getting it sold was one of the easiest, thanks to our agent, Kimberly Cestari. She put us at ease. She listened to our wants. She laughed at our dumb, nervous jokes. She got the place in shape. She priced boldly and marketed widely. And she brought us the buyer in about a week. We accepted their full-ask offer. We recommend Kimberly for her professionalism and positivity with all our heart, and we thank her from it, too!

Kimberly exceeded our expectations in all the areas listed above.

From the very beginning, when we were just thinking about leaving our home of 40 years where we raised our family, Kimberly was a wise and thoughtful advisor. She walked hand in hand with us as we made the decision to downsize, found our new apartment home, prepared our house for sale, and executed this challenging transition in our lives. We will be forever grateful to her.

Dependable Professional

Kimberley not only knows the market, she gets to know her clients. She was with us through helping us make the decision to sell our home, to choosing the time to put it on the market and getting the house ready for the sale. Kimberley is a dependable professional who puts in a lot of effort on behalf of her clients but makes it all seem effortless.

For many years in the Chevy Chase/DC area I observed the home sales by Kimberly Cestari and thought that if I was to sell our home I would reach out to Kimberly. Ultimately I did just that. Thank you Kimberly to help me venture into my next faze of life.
