I know a lot of agents, but I chose Kimberly Cestari to sell our home.

I know a lot of agents, but I chose Kimberly Cestari to sell our home.

Growing up in Chevy Chase, DC, I know a lot of agents, but when it came time to sell our family home, I knew who to call – Kimberly Cestari. Her reputation proceeded her and she did not disappoint! From our very first meeting, she outlined a plan to whip the house into shape, set a timeline/budget and gave me an idea of what it would sell for fixed up and not fixed up. We chose to have the work done and Kimberly managed it all! She cleared out the house and donated appropriate items to various different charities (medical, clothing, furniture) and even used DC’s bulk trash service and hauled a few things to the street herself! Once the house was empty, she got estimates for painting, cleaning, landscaping, oil tank removal, plumbing work and boiler replacement. We approved the estimates and she oversaw all of the work. In a short period of time, the house was ready for photos and we were live on the market. With some successful pre-marketing, we had early interest and ended up selling the house in 2 days for $131,000 over asking price. Couldn’t be happier with the results or the decision to hire Kimberly!

Just a remarkable experience - solid advice on how to price, clear out, and sell - without being annoying or overbearing. Got the house on the market in 10 days and sold in 3 more.

Kimberly did a fantastic job helping us sell our home!

Kimberly did a fantastic job helping us sell our home in Chevy Chase DC. We chose to work with her based on her extensive knowledge of the Chevy Chase area, and she did not disappoint. With us already having moved to SC, Kimberly handled the various mini-crises in getting the house ready for sale though her many contacts and saved us many headaches. She presented our unique older home in a fantastic light, and we ended up with multiple offers in just a few days, resulting in a a price that made us extremely happy. Kimberly is an expert in the Chevy Chase market, and we highly recommend her!

Multiple offers in hand 3 days later…

We engaged Kimberly to help us with the sale of our house in Chevy Chase DC. Having moved to SC already, it was very important to us to work with someone with extensive knowledge of the local market, knowing how to best market the unique features and updates of our almost 100-yo home. With us away, Kimberly handled all the inevitable mini-crises in getting the house ready for sale though her many contacts. With a fabulous photo presentation she arranged, we were able to go live with the sale sooner than expected. Best of all we had multiple offers in hand 3 days later, all with escalators that Kimberly worked to a final sales price that we had not imagined in our wildest dreams. She is the Queen of Chevy Chase!

We feel so lucky to have found Kimberly!

We feel so lucky to have found Kimberly!

We feel so lucky to have found Kimberly! We first worked with her just over a year ago, thanks to a friend’s recommendation, when we were moving to Chevy Chase DC and looking to rent in the area. We had struggled to find a good rental on our own, but Kimberly helped us find an amazing row house in an incredible location very quickly and made the whole process so seamless for us. When we felt ready to begin looking for a home to buy, we knew we wanted to work with Kimberly again, and she more than surpassed our expectations. Kimberly is warm and friendly while also being incredibly effective and efficient. She knew the market SO well and provided us with excellent guidance at every turn. We knew we were searching during a difficult market for buyers, and Kimberly helped us remain upbeat and optimistic while also being very forthcoming and honest about the landscape. She was incredibly patient with us during our search of about 4 months, even and especially when we were not quite as patient with each other ;) Kimberly was always very responsive when we had questions, and in the unlikely situation that she didn’t know the answer to a question offhand, she would look into it and get back to us with an excellent answer promptly. She had great recommendations for other professionals to work with, from loan officers to home inspectors to flooring contractors. All in all, we are absolutely thrilled with the home we ended up with and the service we received from Kimberly. We would recommend her to anyone!

Kimberly offers the whole package in-home selling!

Kimberly offers the whole package in-home selling! She recommended and organized targeted improvements spending only on what was necessary for producing a great sale price. She handled the house clear out, donations, painting, carpet removal, and the refinishing of wood floors. The smooth process was completed in a couple of weeks with minimal time and effort from me! The transformation of the house was incredible and resulted in 5 offers in 5 days! Look no further, Kimberly is your agent!

Kimberly did a wonderful job from start to finish!

Kimberly did a wonderful job of setting up the apt, working with contractors to get all remodeling work taken care of, met with the building reps, and researched the market to price my home appropriately for the market. She was friendly, understanding, and spot on regarding all aspects of the sale! Much appreciated her help and would highly recommend her services!

Kimberly Cestari was simply amazing!

Kimberly Cestari was simply amazing!

Kimberly Cestari was simply amazing!. As soon as we met her, we could see that she had exceptional knowledge about our neighborhood and the local housing market. Kimberly made excellent suggestions about work we needed to do to prepare the house for showing and to maximize the sale price. In addition to the usual touch-up painting and floor refinishing, she strongly advised us to remodel our semi-finished basement into a rec room with a powder room and laundry. Kimberly took charge of the process and selected all the contractors to do the work the basement needed, including painting, carpeting, lighting and plumbing . The finished basement looked great! And, the work was done for less than half the price of an earlier estimate we had received. In the end, the house never formally went on the market. We were approached by another realtor who knew the house was going up for sale and Kimberly took over and guided us through a negotiation, a contract and closing that netted us a very favorable sale price. We would not hesitate to recommend Kimberly to anyone getting ready to sell their house.
