Kristie was the perfect agent for us in finding our new home. Not only did she take us to countless showings, but her referrals for home inspector, chimney inspector, handy man, financing company and others were invaluable. We highly recommend Kristie for your home buying or selling needs.

Kristie was amazing to work with. She is very knowledgeable about the DMV area and helped teach us about the home buying process in Maryland. I cannot recommend her enough and would not even consider using anyone else in any for my future realty needs.

Kristie made our home buying experience a memorable and enjoyable process, despite the natural stress of it all. She was a huge resource for us as first time home buyers and clearly an expert in the DC/MD/VA market. Even though we seemed to have endless questions, Kristie was consistently transparent, honest, and patient with us throughout the entire process. In the very beginning she told us she would work hard until she found us the right home, and she did exactly that, and then some. We ran into the typical hurdles and frustrations of buying a home in a very competitive market, but Kristie was a stable and encouraging voice for us every step of the way. Her passion for her work comes through in her reliability and her relentless diligence. We are so thankful and still in awe of all that she and her team accomplished for us. We’re lucky to have her in our corner and look forward to working with her again in the future.

My wife and I have known Kristie for over 8 years. We have had several realtors over the years and no one tops Kristie! She is patient, very experienced, and goes above and beyond for her clients. I am an active duty Airmen and if I ever were to be stationed in the DMV area again she would be the first person I go to for my real estate needs!

Kristie is professional, knowledgeable, kind, and very easy to work with—she goes above and beyond to get the best result for her client!

We started our home journey with Kristie from California. She talked to us many times of the neighborhoods of the DMV area and patiently answered all of our questions. We then flew out to the northern Virginia area as she toured homes with us for two days in not only Virginia, but DC and Maryland as well. She was very professional and it felt as though we had a home inspector with us. Unfortunately, we couldn’t buy at the time because we were still waiting on the final word from my employer, so we had to wait. When we got word that we could move, we hit the homes again. Although, this time virtually with Kristies help. We ended up buying in Alexandria while we were in California. Kristie had took a tour in Alexandria with us on zoom. We were excited and terrified, NEVER would I imagine we’d close on a house without seeing it in person. But, we trusted Kristie. It’s been 9 months since we’ve moved and we’ve never once regretted our decision, we love our home and owe her a huge thank you. If you need an honest realtor, she’s the one.

I bought my first property with Kristie. She was very professional. Very attentive and also very knowledgeable. Swift when handling anything to do with paperwork. If I could give another five stars I would. I highly recommended her, overall a great person to be around. Nothing but good energy.

Despite this posting being one year late, it highlights the journey to our first year of homeownership.

Kristie was instrumental in helping us buy our forever home and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Since we were nervous first-time homebuyers and out of our depth, Kristie became our lifeline and guided us through a challenging real estate market as buyers, and with her guidance and expertise, we were able to purchase a home destined to be ours. She was always proactive in getting leads, cold calling, always attentive and kept us updated on every relevant transaction. Above all, her encouragement and persistence were key in getting us to the finish line and we can’t thank her enough.

Even after closing, Kristie continued to reach out and provide assistance, cementing her role as a life-long friend/resource. Because of the exceptional service we received throughout the process, we recommended her to our friends and family, and will continue to do so.

In summation, we are grateful for Kristie, and we hope this posting will help you in your search for an exemplary realtor in the DMV area whether you are listing or buying.

Truly the best. We’ve had five realtors over the years and combined they didn’t work as hard for us as Kristie. She represented us as buyers this year as we made a move from Texas to NOVA, and if we ever move back, we wouldn’t go to anyone else to list our house. In other markets we’ve lived in, we used the “best;” the realtors that have teams, sell high-end, advertise in the socialite magazines, and have strong name recognition. Those realtors simply did okay by us at best. Kristie got to know our family and was invested in our best interest. In the 2021-2022 housing market, when inventory was exceptionally low, our map was huge. We were all over the DMV area. She was patient with us, really beyond belief. For the first time working with a realtor, I lost count of the number of homes we looked at — I would guess 30. We made 9 offers in five cities before we succeeded. Never once did she pressure us to buy something. She was always looking out for us, and even on offer 8, said – I wouldn’t go above X. So many others would have tried to move us along, convince us to buy something and be on to the next client. We never felt this way. And this is nothing to say of her professionalism, competency, or knowledge of the market. I truly could not recommend someone else. We have told all our friends about her.

What a great experience to have worked with Compass particularly with Kristie Zimmerman and Lisa Anders—very professional! As a first-time homebuyer, Kristie provided us sage advice on how best to navigate this very competitive market, and have our offer accepted. There was not a point in the house hunting process that we felt rushed or steered just for her to close a deal. She was very thorough with explaining the pros/cons of every house we considered; she provided comparative market analysis; thoroughly and promptly answered all our questions. As a result, our second offer got accepted without waiving critical part of the house buying process (e.g., appraisal, inspections) and not offering significant amount above listed price —rare in this current market. We are extremely blessed to have found Kristie/team…highly recommend that you consider them on your real estate needs.

Kristie and team helped me both buy my property when I moved to Alexandria and sell my property when I departed. I cannot say enough about the partnership, level of understanding of the market, honesty in offer suggestion with my buy, and market positioning with my sell. On top of all of that, I am proud to say that Kristie has also become a friend. She stayed connected to me from the time that I bought my home until this day, even though I am now located in Florida. Oh, and did I say that with the counsel from Kristie and proper positioning in the market, my home was listed at 8am and had two official offers by noon, and one other on the fence. I went with the offer that came in around 10am.

Kristie has already helped one of my friends who moved to the area with securing a home, and she can rest assured, any future request for help will be pointed in her direction!

Thank you for being the outstanding professional that you have been, and the true friend that you are!

Called my realtor…she picked up after the first ring…a year after I bought my condo. Show me another realtor that’s still there for you a year later. Highly, highly recommend Kristie Zimmerman!
