James Nastus is an excellent real estate agent, really the best I could have asked for, especially moving to DC from overseas. He is communicative, knowledgeable, kind, and extraordinarily helpful, beyond what should have been expected. Thank you so much, James!

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

Buying my first home was an enormous decision and I needed an expert to guide me through it. James Nastus was my realtor for the purchase, but he was also my coach and ally at every step of the way. James was always available to answer my questions and provide direction whether we were touring properties or reading condo disclosures . Once we found the condo that was the right fit, James did extensive research to ensure we were making a competitive and fair offer. Even after the closing, he continues to serve as a resource for all of my new homeowner questions. I highly recommend working with James and his CEG team.

James was my Realtor for both the purchase of my new home and for the sale of my previous home and I can not say enough about him. At the same time he was working with me, he was also working with one of my closest friends so I got to see up close his amazing instinct for what each of us needed to find our way to making decisions. Our processes were quite different and he handled us both perfectly.I put an offer in, quite out of the blue on a specific home that was a Dream Home I had seen, fallen in love with, and been unable to afford 10 years prior. It came on the market, and the emotional part of the decision was already made. I did not need opinions, options or reassurance. But I did need guidance on making an offer that wouldnt result in my over paying but also wouldnt cause me to lose my dream home by a small amount. James gauged it perfectly. And then (since I had not been looking, was not pre-approved for a mortgage, didnt have my financials together) I was a pest about each little step along the path to closing and James was rock. Smart, timely and responsive regarding every detail.I then had to sell my old home, which also needed a bit of work to be able to go on the market and garner full value. I did not have the time or the emotional energy for this. James took care of everything. And I mean, everything. I handed him the keys, gave him a budget and walked away. In a time frame I would not have thought possible, the entire condo had gotten a face lift, it was on the market and I was under contract for more than I would have imagined. I had no emotional attachments, I just wanted maximum profit at minimum input from me. And that is what I got.That friend I mentioned before? He was all in on the emotional investment side, both buying and selling. He needed lots of options and the emotional support and space to make this decision.It is still amazing to me that the same person worked so seamlessly with both of us. And got both of us into homes we are both just thrilled with — in both cases on budgets that were well within our approved range.James is the best!

James was recommended to me by a friend, and Im so glad he was. After interviewing several realtors, James seemed to be just head and tails above the rest with this thoughtful answers to my questions and his initiative.My condo sale was somewhat complex as my decision to list it was a bit of a knee jerk reaction. I had about a week to pack and move because of a family matter, and after moving I was no longer local. James scheduled and managed anything that needed to happen post my move so I didn’t have to worry about facilitating that from states away. While James was fabulous logistically, he was also great in his strategic marketing of my condo and extremely responsive to me. There was consistent and regular contact. I felt he and the Compass team were on my side and were looking out for my best interests at all times. In choosing and working with James, I believe I couldn’t have made a better choice. My condo was under contract and sold quickly at a price that was higher than I expected. Highly recommend James and the Compass team.

James and Nick did everything possible to take a highly stressful process and make it as painless and seamless as possible. We got a fair price for our home and closed faster than I would have imagined. James was accessible at all hours with no complaints, and handled everything in a professional manner. I am very thankful that we had Capital Estate Group in my corner for the sale of my home.

The absolute best! So knowledgeable, personable, insightful, and professional . He considered our needs in the context of extensive research on the current market. Went over and beyond to ensure that our house was perfect before hitting the market. (I think he even tried to scrub our marble shower!). I had absolute confidence that putting the sale of my house in James hands was the best decision ever.

James was great to work with as a first-time home buyer. He is very personable and a pleasure to be around. He was able to tap into the resources at CEG effectively to assist in my purchase!

I recommend James and his team at Compass/CEG. Very helpful during the entire home buying process.
