I had a very positive experience working with Kimberly. She was helpful throughout the process of getting the house ready to sell, managing vendors, and closing the sale. I would highly recommend her.
Kimberly was able to get an offer within 30-days of my condo being placed on the market. She is very knowledgeable in the Chevy Chase area, as well as upper NW DC. If you are looking for an agent who can sell your property quick, look no further than Kimberly!
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. Throughout the process, Kimberly has been available and responsive and has provided excellent support in getting me to the finish line. I recommend her highly.
'It’s remarkable that selling our house from such a distance (Brazil) was even possible. The sale process went smoothly and that is in large part due to Kimberly's skills, commitment, readiness to answer questions. Kudos to her for having been a reliable partner to us since we moved to DC almost 15 years ago.'
Kimberly is knowledgeable and driven. We knew we were in good hands when it was time to sell our home. She even stepped in, without issue, to field questions from the agent representing the seller whose home we wanted to buy in our next city. We also appreciated how many excellent contractors Kimberly had access to when we were preparing our house to sell.
Kimberly knows the market inside and out. Her expertise -- in understanding the market, negotiating offers, and providing input on house conditions and possible renovations -- was invaluable. She is responsive, diligent, and wonderful to work with. We would recommend her without hesitation.
After losing several houses in the AU/Friendship Heights/Chevy Chase area, someone recommended we work with Kimberly Cestari. Best advice ever. She is the most knowledgeable realtor in the area. She helped us put an offer on the home we wanted before going to the market, and we got it! She was always ready to answer our questions and even recommended a local lender when we had some hiccups with ours. If you want to buy (or sell) in the AU/Friendship Heights/Chevy Chase area, you should work with Kimberly.
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!
Kimberly, you gave us such incredible help during our multi-year search from 3 hours away. You always got us early appointments to see places, “face-timed” the places we weren’t sure about traveling to see and were patient with us as we rationalized $ Vs. location Vs degree of updating, vs. trees/landscape. We are very happy with the neighborhood and with the location of our "new" house, which is the best of any we saw. Thank you for your support throughout. Carol and Lee
Please do yourself a favor as you embark on the DC home-buying journey and just call Kimberly and ask her to be your agent. We’d previously worked with agents who were ok, and it was honestly wasted time in a market where wasted time is the last thing you need. Kimberly is on an entirely different level — connected, strategic, responsive, thorough. If you’re looking for an agent who will run through a wall for you, she knows someone with a perfect wall that’s not even listed and she will take care of it. We would never recommend anyone else. Call Kimberly.
Kimberly did a wonderful job for me. She really knows the market in the AU/Friendship Heights/Chevy Chase area. As a result she could recommend an achievable asking price without my having to spend much time or energy preparing the house. I got an over-asking-price, no contingencies offer before the house actually went on the market. She’s very organized and efficient and a pleasure to work with.
Over the past 40 years, we have been involved in the purchase or sale of over 20 houses and small office buildings. Recently, Kimberly Cestari helped us sell our home. She was the best realtor we have ever used or encountered. Her analysis of market situation and timing was brilliant and her execution of the sale was amazing. She was fun to work with and gave us superior advice about preparing our home for sale, often providing terrific service suppliers at reasonable costs for an extraordinary range of needs and situations on short notice. We recommend her to you highly.
