Kimberly Cestari, Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.

Kimberly Was Terrific In An Extremely Challenging Market . Due to a family situation we had already moved away long distance when we engaged Kimberly to sell our home. The market timing couldn’t have been worse for selling a property in D.C.metro as it coincided with the start of DOGE layoffs. As we lived remotely, Kimberly was in effect the “caretaker” for our house and handled everything including working/coordinating with our home maintenance companies. While it took a good while to sell our home due to the above, Kimberly was relentless in marketing our house throughout and it resulted in our receiving a good price with the sale of our property. With the challenges we faced, Kimberly’s experience and expertise shone throughout as we were well informed and comfortable during this proce

The very best! Everyone knows (at least in NW DC) that Kimberly is the best: consummate professional; extremely knowledgeable about the local market and national trends; well connected to other agents; and, always delivers results! We were fortunate to have Kimberly working with us on both a long term rental and the very quick sale of our home. She took care of us and our home when we were out of the country and stayed in regular contact. We can't recommend her highly enough!

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,

Kimberly’s reputation as #1 agent, consistent 5 star reviews and track record are all accurate. There is no one more knowledgeable of my Washington, DC area market. When I made a fairly sudden decision to make a purchase, she was on top of handling every detail. Next, it was time to sell my house in the middle of the Federal government shutdown—very difficult time to sell. But with her guidance and expert pricing ability (honed after three decades of experience), we had a terrific offer over asking price within 2 hours of going live, with settlement in a week. Also, she responds to questions promptly and really listens to her clients to fully understand their wishes. And she has followed up with information long after settlement.

Kimberly, who my wife and I first new as a neighbor and friend, was our agent for two successful sales: first when we sold our house and moved to a condominium, and then more recently when we sold that condominium and moved to a senior living community. Kimberly knows the market, is a shrewd negotiator, has a vast store of experience and an invaluable contact list (painters, restorers, handymen, etc.). She was always available with advice and prompt responses, plus she is a lovely person to work with. She has our thanks and highest recommendation. - Ralph and Marie K.
