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!

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!

I am very grateful that my friend recommended Kimberly to us. She helped us find the perfect home at a great price. She answered all of our first-time homebuyer questions patiently and expertly. She is extremely knowledgeable and patient.

Kimberly is the best of the best in Chevy Chase!! She is a true professional. She has an extensive knowledge of the housing market, the ins and outs of real estate and the neighborhoods she represents. She is personable, supportive and caring. She is honest and direct. She knows the best way to sell a house and provides valuable insight for each and every client. I trusted her completely, relied on her guidance and knew that she had my best interest at heart. She is outstanding! She is highly committed to her clients and in getting the best, possible outcome. You won't find a better, more committed agent in the area! She deserves the highest of praise and I highly recommend her!!

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! 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 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!. 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.

Kimberly is an extremely knowledgeable and responsive professional. She helped guide us through the process from renting out our property and finding tenants, to selling it - seamlessly and with expertise and ease. She knows the Chevy Chase area like nobody else and was always immediately responsive to all of our questions.

There is good reason you see Kimberly Cestari's name on so many For Sale, Under Contract, and SOLD! signs in DC and Maryland. It's because she is an excellent agent. She sold my late parents' house in three days and got three hundred thousand dollars over asking price! In addition to being a superb professional, she is kind and sympathetic. She knew what an emotional process it was for me to sell my family home and guided me every step of the way. I cannot recommend Kimberly more highly. If you need a first rate agent to buy or sell a house, she is your person.

Kimberly Cestari’s stellar reputation preceded her when my husband and I met with her. We wanted to sell our 90-year-old house in Chevy Chase DC and buy a condo. She made all the difference in both operations. Once we told her what we were looking for, using her extensive knowledge of the market and networking, she led us to an apartment that checked all our boxes and more. Her bidding strategy resulted in an offer that was accepted immediately. When it came to selling our house, she made suggestions for improvements and then supplied the contractors who, for excellent prices, made the house look new again. Again, with market savvy and her large network, the house went on the market on a Saturday and we had four bids by Tuesday, all above the asking price. Kimberly has a deep understanding of financing and real estate law. She is calm, supportive, and engaging. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate in the Washington area.

Kimberly Cestari took on the sale of my Chevy Chase property under difficult circumstances. I had two basement apartments with tenants who wanted to buy houses before moving, and the housing market was such that low inventory made house purchases difficult. She gave me excellent advice as to how to manage this situation. I was very impressed at how she managed the negotiations once we got offers so as to receive good offers. I highly recommend Kimberly.
