We worked with Kimberly Cestari in the spring of 2024 on a sudden (almost a whim!) decision to buy a new house. Her knowledge of the DC market, familiarity with the neighborhood, effective communication with bid strategy, and keen negotiation skills secured our purchase in a very competitive market. We then secured her to list our old home and on the first day of the open house, we had multiple offers over asking price. Throughout the buying and selling process, she promptly returned our texts, emails, and phone calls — and even connected us with a wonderful handyman crew that helped prep our house for sale and who also eased the transition into our new home. If you are looking for an efficient, ethical, and reliable real estate agent who goes above and beyond, look no further.

We recently worked with Kimberly to buy a single-family home in Chevy Chase (DC). Kimberly's familiarity with the local inventory, as well as her relationships with other realtors in the area, made us feel like we had the best opportunity to purchase a house in this extremely competitive market. She knew about off-market listings, upcoming properties, and proactively previews many houses in the neighborhood.Kimberly also took the time to understand what we were looking for and only sent us listings or suggested we view properties that met our criteria. This saved us a lot of time and energy, since we didn't have to look at houses that weren't right for us. She was also easy to work with when it came to inspecting houses, always able to setup appointments within 24-hrs of seeing the property. However, what really set her apart was her deep understanding of the neighborhood and its unique characteristics. If you're looking to buy a home in Chevy Chase, we highly recommend working with Kimberly. Her expertise and local knowledge will give you an advantage in this market.

Kimberly was phenomenal to work with and instrumental in helping us buy our first home. She explained the process to us thoroughly and was flexible and responsive as unexpected situations came up. She was very knowledgeable, involved with every step of the closing, and even helped us save on closing costs, too! Thank you Kimberly!

Kimberly Cestari Is cool real estate broker!

Kimberly did an exceptional job helping us find and close on our home. From start to finish, she was our expert, providing thorough, reasoned and sensible guidance on a variety of important topics. She knows every detail of the Chevy Chase and Bethesda neighborhoods we were looking at, seemingly down to individual streets. She is very responsive and detail oriented. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of working with Kimberly was her ability to negotiate a favorable deal and get the transaction closed, despite hiccups following the inspection.

I doubt there's a realtor who knows the Chevy Chase area (and the real estate business generally) better than Kimberly. I first met her when I was just beginning to consider selling my house. She gave me very helpful advice to get it ready from that first meeting and throughout the entire selling process.

Kimberly Cestari was truly a delight to work with. She diligently worked with us throughout the tedious process of selling our home and moved us on to the next step. Not only did she sell our home within 4 days, but she also proceeded to match us with our perfect new home with her talented negotiating skills.

Kimberly did a great job from start to finish. Staging was impeccable (she was once an interior decorator), she understood the neighborhood backward and forward, got us an offer very quickly, and shepherded it through the negotiation after the inspection, and then followed through with a successful closing. She was very responsive throughout. Perhaps here best quality is that she really knows the neighborhood and is a great closer.

Kimberly first came to my house many years ago before I was ready to sell as I was seeking her advice on what I needed to do in order to get the most from the sale. Over the years she impressed me with her low-key manner, and savvy advice. She even shared valuable resources to help me prepare my home.Once in the process, I was able to see first hand her years of experience with negotiation and pricing. A designer myself, Kimberly’s staging advice was invaluable. Her speedy response time about fine details was amazing - it all went well and I was very pleased with the end result. These are the reasons Kimberly is a top seller!
