Kimberly Cestari - Trust, Professionalism & Effectiveness

Kimberly Cestari - Trust, Professionalism & Effectiveness

Trust, Professionalism & Effectiveness: We've worked with Kimberly before and experienced generous professionalism, and great results. She is very knowledgable, flexible, and found solutions to our unique circumstance. Even when a contractor had some drama, she kept everything clear, smooth & effective. So, when we called her again with another unique home sale circumstance (no selling during COVID, and us only available online), it was not a problem at all. I beleive even if we were to somehow have to do a transaction out of country, we could depend on her. Thank you Kimberly Cestari!

I researched the best realtors in the area

I researched the best realtors in the area

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.

We were wrong: Kimberly is THE top realtor, in that area or any other.

We were wrong: Kimberly is THE top realtor, in that area or any other.

During the 12 years we lived in Friendship Heights we were well aware that Kimberly Cestari was one of the top realtors in the area. We were wrong: Kimberly is THE top realtor, in that area or any other. We generally detest surveys asking if the service provided was “awesome” or exceeded our expectations, because our expectations are that work should be done promptly, carefully and well, for a reasonable price. In the case of Kimberly Cestari, we would have to say that this is one of the rare occasions when somebody truly exceeded our expectations. Kimberly is that rare professional who combines all the characteristics one would want to have in a realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable and immediately was able to quote a sales price that satisfied our wish to get top dollar for our home, yet ensured that it would sell within days, which it did. Kimberly negotiated the sale smoothly and efficiently, firmly making sure that our interests prevailed over unfair buyer demands. We were left with the certainty that we could not have done any better. Throughout the sales process, it was a pleasure dealing with Kimberly. She returned all calls and emails promptly and answered all our many questions fully and patiently. She is thoroughly professional in processing a home for sale, providing practical advice on what to leave and what to add. The craftspeople who worked for her preparing the house for sale are all top notch, prompt, efficient, competitively priced and they leave no mess behind. Kimberly provided all the guidance we could possibly require, making sure that the sale of our house was a stress-free process. Now that it is successfully over, we are left with one more, very pleasant realization: Kimberly really likes her customers. And, of course, her customers can’t help liking her!

Local knowledge needs more stars because Kimberly deserves them

Local knowledge needs more stars because Kimberly deserves them. My wife and I decided to move to DC to be closer to family, Kimberly used her network to find a house one door down from family two days after our initial call. We could not have been more happy with all aspects of working with Kimberly. Hopefully we never sell this house but if we do we will for sure be using Kimberly.

KIMBERLY is the best! She is an amazing combination of warm, personable, and joyful AND professional

KIMBERLY is the best! She is an amazing combination of warm, personable, and joyful AND professional, no nonsense, and direct. Kimberly has represented us in three separate transactions, and each one has been flawless. There has never been one moment when we didn’t feel she was working 100% in our best interest, while simultaneously being fair and decent to all parties. There are almost no other places in our lives when we say, “Just tell us what you think we should do, and we’ll do it.” But that’s what we say to Kimberly, always. I want to buy another house just so we can work with KIMBERLY again!

Kimberly is an outstanding agent!

Kimberly is an outstanding agent. She sold our home within mere hours of being listed, six figures above asking price. She listened closely to our needs, helping us map out a plan to get our house prepared for sale quickly, and marketed effectively. Highly, highly recommend.

With Kimberly always felt we had a strong advocate on our side!

With Kimberly always felt we had a strong advocate on our side!

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, we’ve used her for a real estate transaction. In the sale of our house her advertising and brochure were easily the best we’ve 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.

Kimberly is an outstanding real estate agent. She was extremely knowledgeable about the upper northwest DC market for our home; used excellent judgment in recommending the listing price; and expertly navigated the negotiation process. I would highly recommend her.

Kimberly is an outstanding agent! She is extremely knowledgeable about the market, very devoted to her clients and highly committed to getting the best outcome for her clients during negotiations. She helped us buy a house in the most efficient manner, and it was a real pleasure to work with her and rely on her guidance. I would use her services again in a heartbeat! You won't find a better agent than her.
