We really enjoyed working with Kimberly. She knows the area very well, is always reachable, professional and overall helped us finding a perfect home for our family.

We worked with Kimberly to purchase our home on Barnaby St in Washington, DC, about 11 years ago. When it was time to sell for a work relocation in the Spring of 2025, we went with Kimberly to help us out. Kimberly set a sales strategy and identified priority investments to prepare for a sale. The suggestions were great - improvements for minimal investment. I wish we would have done this years ago. Kimberly worked her network and we had two interested parties prior to the first open house. The pricing strategy was great, and we received a pre-showing offer for $100k above asking, which we elected to take. On top of that Kimberly was able to negotiate a significant no-cost lease-back to allow my son to complete high school and me to identify a new home with minimal gap between leaving DC and arriving in Santa Fe. In Santa Fe, Kimberly was able to leverage her network again to help us find a realtor (Tom Abrams) who was also excellent. All told, it was a great experience and we maximized our value on both ends of the transaction with Kimberly's great work.

Kimberly is one of the best agents I've ever worked with. She is very knowledgeable, professional and truly knows the DC real estate market. She provided great recommendations as for minor renovations prior to listing the home and scheduled contractors within a week. My house sold within few days right after, for more than I expected.

Working with Kimberly was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market. We were especially impressed when our home sold for the amount she predicted. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a smart, reliable agent. She’s a pleasure to work with!

From the very beginning, when we were just thinking about leaving our home of 40 years where we raised our family, Kimberly was a wise and thoughtful advisor. She walked hand in hand with us as we made the decision to downsize, found our new apartment home, prepared our house for sale, and executed this challenging transition in our lives. We will be forever grateful to her.

For many years in the Chevy Chase/DC area I observed the home sales by Kimberly Cestari and thought that if I was to sell our home I would reach out to Kimberly. Ultimately I did just that. Thank you Kimberly to help me venture into my next faze of life.

Kimberly is a well-known and well-regarded agent in Chevy Chase and for good reason. She helps you accomplish your goals. I wanted to sell and settle quickly and I had my house on the market 10 days after meeting her. She had 18 potential buyers come through in a single weekend and we accepted an offer the following Tuesday at asking price. We both understood the value of my home and what it would likely sell for, but most importantly she had the expertise and the relationships to get it done quickly and efficiently. She really understands the buyer and seller journey.

We can’t praise Kimberly enough for her hard work, her professional advice, and her attention to every detail when she was our realtor in the summer and fall of 2022. We engaged Kimberly to guide us through the biggest financial transaction of our lives, the sale of our house where we had lived for 53 years. We slept well at night with the security of knowing we had picked the most savvy and experienced realtor in our Barnaby Woods neighborhood to represent us. Once we completed our move from our house, Kimberly got to work with us to get our house ready for the market. First, she told us she was setting the asking price to ensure that the house would draw the greatest pool of potential buyers. Then she assured us the house would sell nicely “as is” with only minor touch ups, sparing us both the expense and the hassle of “staging” the house and doing elaborate improvements. Kimberly’s strategies worked beautifully. Her skilled marketing brought a large stream of interested parties to look at the house. Within just a few days of the house going on the market, Kimberly had corralled four excellent bids and we simply picked the best one. The house immediately went under contract for a price that far exceeded the asking price. In the period between the sale contract and the settlement, Kimberly once again proved she was a consummate professional. A problem arose concerning the boundary line between our property and our next-door neighbors’ lot. There had to be an agreement on the boundary line, or the sale could not go through. Kimberly showed her skill by negotiating a deal with the buyer’s agent on the boundary line. This broke the logjam and paved the way for the settlement to happen. Kimberly was our outstanding agent from start to finish!

I highly rate Kimberly as a trusted real estate agent, having known her for many years and had her sell both my grandmother's house a few years back and recently my mother's home after probate (5532 30th Place NW) in Washington DC. She made the process clear all along, explained forms and electronic signing process, and her communication was top notch all through the sale and beyond, with a number of recommendations for issues to address to make the house presentable, and every concern promptly addressed. She worked with me on timing, urging me along but with no pressure; recommending professionals as needed (appraiser, contractors, etc.), and visited the house regularly to see for herself how things were progressing. I could not be more pleased at Kimberly's professionalism, courtesy, and personable manner. Having known her outside of our business relationship, I see her as a quality person, family oriented, competent, and trustworthy. I have absolute confidence in recommending her to anyone seeking reliable service in selling your property!

We had a fantastic experience working with Kimberly and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the NW DC area. We ended up selling to a buyer that found our home through Kimberly's contacts in the private market, which is exactly what we wanted. Kimberly was very responsive throughout the whole process and able to provide expert advice based on her deep knowledge of the area. In addition, we were coordinating the sale from out-of-state, and Kimberly went above and beyond to help us with tasks on the ground that we weren't able to do in person ourselves. She is savvy, experienced, and kind, and we'd work with her again in a heartbeat.
