“I was very pleased with Capital Estate Group, and my realtor James Nastus in particular. He knew the DC real estate landscape like the back of his hand, helped me negotiate a price below-asking, and continued to be of service to me after the sale, including dealing with some issues with the appliances. I would - and in fact have - recommend James Nastus to anyone looking for a house in DC”

Working with J.P. and his incredible team at Capital Estate Group has been a smooth and enjoyable process! From the very beginning, J.P. was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions with clarity, and always made me feel like a priority. His professionalism is only matched by how warm and down-to-earth he is—you truly feel like you're working with someone who has your best interests at heart. A huge thank you also goes to KJ, who was an absolute gem throughout this journey with timely reminders and consistent communication which kept everything moving forward seamlessly. This team is outstanding—not only during the home-buying process but even after closing. J.P. and his team have continued to check in, answer questions, and offer support, proving that their commitment to their clients doesn’t end. If you're buying or selling a home this is the team you want by your side. Highly recommend!"

"Amanda guided us through the search for and ultimate purchase of our first home. In addition to having incredible knowledge of the D.C. housing market, Amanda understood our needs and worked tirelessly to help us find the right place for our family. When the time came to submit our offer, Amanda demonstrated the utmost diligence and professionalism, making a stressful process much easier to navigate. Above all, she is a warm, generous and supportive person who genuinely cares about her clients and looks out for their interests. We can't recommend her highly enough!"

Being named a Washingtonian Top Agent 2026 is an honor — but the stories behind the recognition are what matter most. Clients like Susie, who moved to DC for a new opportunity and was ready to stop renting and start building equity. She needed more than a condo — she needed a home that fit her lifestyle. A bright space, a pet-friendly building, an externally vented kitchen for her love of cooking and baking, and a den for working from home. When the right home came along, everything clicked. We negotiated pre-settlement access so her designer and contractor could get started, and construction began the day after closing. Thank you to every client who trusts us with your next chapter. #CEGHomesDC #CompassDMV #WashingtonianTopAgent #WashingtonDCRealEstate #StoryOfTheSale

Pre-war homes often offer craftsmanship, character and flexible spaces that newer construction cannot easily recreate. In this episode of Selling DC, J.P. tours a 1917 Park View/Petworth row home and explores the architectural details and lifestyle features that make it distinctive. From the welcoming front porch and inlaid wood floors to the enclosed rear living space, private balcony and full-footprint lower level, this home offers something special on every floor. Watch the full episode and let us know which space you would make your own.

Awards are never really about the recognition. They’re about families like Alex and Jamie, who were searching for one home to bring two households together and raise their family—without leaving the Northwest DC neighborhood (and school district) they both grew up in. The challenge? One of the city’s fastest-appreciating neighborhoods, where a fully renovated home wasn’t realistic. So we focused on what mattered most: location, space, and long-term potential. Being named a Washingtonian Top Agent 2026 is an honor, but helping families find the right home for the life they’re building is what means the most. Thank you to every client who trusts us with your next chapter. #CEGHomesDC #CompassDMV #WashingtonianTopAgent #WashingtonDCRealEstate #StoryOfTheSale
