Client Testimonials
★★★★★
"Five stars across the board- Gitika did not disappoint as a trusted guide, counselor and advisor during the daunting journey of homebuying in a pandemic-charged, absurdly-priced real estate market. Having worked with other agents, I'd say one of Gitika's differentiating qualities is that she has mastered the art of playing the long game but knowing when time is of the essence. We engaged her before we even moved to DC and she was always full of insights and inspiration. Specifically, she had us slow our roll when we were anxious to buy in a hot market, suggesting we wait to see if the madness died down. As luck would have it, the surge of sales subsided just as interest rates were poised to go up and Gitika helped us seal the deal for a wonderful property that checked almost every box on New Year's Eve Day. What many agents who dabble in the rough and tumble world of real estate may see as a paycheck, Gitika sees as a privilege, and it's because she recognizes the significance of her role that she has so many satisfied clients." - Buyer | Rockville

★★★★★
"Gitika helped my husband and I purchase our first home and we couldn't be happier! She made the process as seamless as buying a home can be and was always there throughout the ups and downs. We are SO glad we were able to work with her and will continue to refer all our family and friends!" - Buyer | Arlington
★★★★★
"If anyone is thinking about buying or selling a home in the DC/MD/VA area, I strongly encourage you to reach out to our real estate agent (and now friend) at Compass, Gitika Kaul. Gitika was extremely patient and understanding as we traveled throughout the entire region, oftentimes changing course multiple times as we went. She has an uncanny ability to pick up on her clients' preferences and was able to expertly guide us through the offer negotiation and closing process once we found the right home. In short, Gitika made a stressful and challenging process more pleasant than we ever imagined possible." - Buyer | Bethesda
★★★★★
"Gitika is wonderful to work with and represented my interests and feelings about what type of house I wanted to buy. She provided valuable input into the market and characteristics of the houses we considered. During negotiations and closing, she and her team made the process flawless and smooth. She is also an incredible communicator, responding to my emails and texts within minutes. A valuable trait in this fast-paced market." - Buyer | Capitol Hill

"We had the pleasure of working with Gitika as our realtor, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Gitika was the right choice. She came prepared with a comprehensive book detailing everything about the area and even knew intricate details about our home before we had discussed anything. Her knowledge and expertise were evident from the start. Gitika’s understanding and flexibility regarding our family’s timeline and needs made the entire process smooth and stress-free. When it came time to sell our home, she went above and beyond to help us stage it in such a way that the photos were simply breathtaking—honestly, the house didn’t even look like our home! Thanks to her staging expertise, the house showed beautifully. Throughout the entire process, Gitika was always available and responsive, answering our questions usually within an hour. Her professionalism, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile for us truly set her apart. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would highly recommend Gitika to anyone looking to buy or sell a home." - Seller | Clarksburg

"Gitika is a rockstar! Not only is she an incredible, savvy real estate agent, she also has a heart of gold. I can say that with all sincerity, having worked with her closely through our entire home selling experience. Gitika has incredible insight into the local real estate market. She isn’t one to look over a simple comparative market analysis and come up with a proposed listing price for your consideration. She actually knows the market intimately and what buyers are looking for so well, that she can hone in on what are the most crucial necessary improvements and suggest additional enhancements that will provide a very impressive return on investment. She does this in a very sincere manner — at all times being deferential to the homeowner, never any high-pressure. It was a pleasure developing our relationship with Gitika both personally and professionally. We interviewed a number of potential listing agents and once we met with her we knew in our heart that she was the one that would best represent our values and goals. She did that and much much more! We had already purchased a property out of state and on our moving day we literally handed Gitika our house keys and our complete trust. We knew she would develop a great product, maximizing our eventual selling price. She has an incredible bullpen of contractors, landscapers, movers and stagers that is evidence of the trust that many others have placed in her. It is with this team and her hard work and vision that really delivered for us! She’s an exceptional person and an incredible real estate agent! She did countless seemingly small acts of kindness for us during the process; we didn’t expect that level of service and attention. Her marketing tools, although seemingly simple approaches to developing interest, are very effective. We could not imagine a more efficient and stress-free financial transaction, than the eventual closing process that she engineered for us. Gitika is a true artist, but what really makes her a rockstar is her ability to envision the perfect lyrics and orchestration, backed by an entire ensemble of exceptional artists — together Gitika and her entire ensemble provided us with an incredible, enriching and life-affirming performance and we will be forever in her debt!" - Seller | Bethesda

"Gitika made selling our house so easy! It was the smoothest/quickest process, it happened while we were on vacation and by the time we got back everything was taken care of. It was a pocket listing that went very quickly and we got our exact asking price. Gitika also helped us quickly find our new dream home (new build) and worked closely with us every step of the way. It was a long journey to closing so it was great to have Gitika's help throughout. She's very responsive, attentive and thoughtful. It was really helpful to have her experience when going through this process. I would highly recommend her as a realtor!" - Seller | Cabin John
