Bilen is a great agent to work with because she gives it to you straight, advocates for your best interests and it on top of everything at all times.
Kimberly was a true miracle worker! She has deep knowledge of houses in 20015 and guided us perfectly in the process, from beginning to end. Her recommendations for repairs to our 100 plus year old house were spot on, and she did not ask for things that were not necessary. And she has a list of people who did the work at fair prices. She priced it higher than we thought we could, and then we got $160,000 over asking! We had two offers in two days!! Our heads were spinning!! Thank you Kimberly!!
Jen took the time to get to know us and help us narrow down a very broad home search. She is a great listener with superior market knowledge. We felt very confident in her advice and negotiation skills. Our only regret is we didn’t start working with her sooner!
Scott Graham is the ultimate professional who brought a wealth of experience and background with him that was critical to the successful sale of our home. He is an excellent communicator, returns emails and phone calls promptly, and always had the information we needed. He was especially good at handling the nuances of the sale and working with the buyer's agent to produce the best outcome. We could not have asked for a better agent!
Nicholas was thoughtful, considerate, and thorough from the beginning of our home search. He was always flexible, willing to accommodate our schedule and needs. He went above and beyond to ensure that we could see the homes we were interested in. He was very knowledgeable and well-connected, often-times leveraging existing relationships with selling agents to provide helpful information. Nicholas allowed us to take our time with the process and did not pressure us to buy a house we weren't sure about. When we did find a home we loved, he made sure we were able to offer a competitive advantage...and ended up securing the home of our dreams! We highly recommend working with Nicholas.
Aneta helped us land the home we were looking for. She had a great market knowledge, well connected, and was extremely responsive. We really appreciated having her every step of the way!

Kimberly Cestari deserves 10 stars! She is by far the most competent, knowledgeable real estate professional I've ever worked with. From our first meeting through closing, she was incredibly responsive and always available to answer questions or address concerns. Her communication was outstanding, and I always felt like I knew what was happening every step of the way.Kimberly also has an amazing network of reliable, reasonably priced contractors who helped us get the house ready for market without overspending. Her recommendations saved us both time and money.What impressed me most was her pricing strategy. Kimberly carefully analyzed the market and recommended a pricing approach that generated tremendous interest and helped our home fly off the market in record time. Her marketing and negotiation skills exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome.

Kimberly Cestari deserves 10 stars - she is by far the most competent, knowledgeable professional in her field. Her “no nonsense” get the job done attitude is refreshing. You can count on her every step of the way. I rarely post reviews but Kimberly earned this one and I had to sing her praises! Thank you Kimberly!
I was lucky to make a good connection with Shane when we met for fist time while touring the apartment. I knew I could truly trust him to guide me through the novel and challenging process ahead as a first-time homebuyer, and consequently, secure the best deal. I really appreciate his expertise and command of the subject, his ability to explain things clearly (and repeat them if necessary!), his great manners, his calm and relaxed demeanor without losing professionalism, and his knack for understanding exactly what I was looking for—as well as the specific needs and concerns of a young expat buying their first home. He always respected my pace as I processed everything. I value immensely the fact that he was present at every stage, working as a true team player, and looking out for my best interests as a buyer to find the option that suited me best. Thanks Shane for all the hard work, as well as the constant guidance and support throughout the process! I am proud to call him both my agent and my friend.
