Why Our Clients Love Working With Us…
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!

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.
