“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!"

A great home isn't always a bigger home. One of the most overlooked features when buying a condominium is space planning. This Adams Morgan studio uses a simple architectural separation between the kitchen and living spaces to make the home feel significantly larger and more functional than its footprint suggests. Sometimes, the smartest design decisions are also the simplest.

Not every renovation needs a demolition crew. In this Selling DC episode, JP shares one of the most valuable lessons we share with clients...focus on the improvements that create the biggest impact. For this Alexandria townhouse, thoughtful finishes transformed the hall bath — without changing the layout or undertaking an expensive full renovation. Smart renovations aren't about spending more. They're about spending wisely. #SellingDC #CEGHomesDC #DesignMatters
