Meet Jesse

Jesse Grimste always knew he wanted to be a real estate agent. Licensed in DC and Virginia, Jesse has worked in real estate in the area for nearly a decade since getting his bachelor’s degree in international business and real estate at the University of South Carolina. He has worked extensively in all segments of the residential real estate industry, from being a property manager in France to focusing on the local luxury market, and even working on a team that specialized in selling modern listings.

Jesse’s clients appreciate his passion for architecture and keen eye for design. An important part of his process is helping his clients envision the potential of their new home. Even after the deal is closed, Jesse's clients regularly reach out to him for design advice.

For Jesse, it’s his job to help his clients decide whether or not a home is right for them based on his experience, intuition, and understanding of their needs. From there, he wins them that home using his negotiating skills and the extensive relationships he’s built with agents all over DC.

Jesse prides himself on maintaining relationships with the people he has met throughout his life from all over the country and the world. Friends from childhood still call him when they are ready to buy a home because they know he will serve them with the highest level of integrity, wisdom, and discretion.

In his free time, Jesse enjoys dining out, hosting friends, and exploring the nightlife on 14th Street where he lives with his dog Gunner. Jesse grew up in Northern Virginia as well as overseas in Austria, Turkey, and France. He still enjoys traveling the world and is always ready for a new adventure.

Happy Clients.

"I cannot say enough good things about Alycia and her team. We were first time home buyers (closing on our home at the start of a global pandemic… so you can imagine the roadblocks) and Alycia made the process so easy for us! She was always available and gave thorough answers to any question that we had. She helped us find and buy a perfect house and she was very attentive to find homes to view that fit exactly what we were looking for. We really felt that we were working with someone that we could trust!"

Elizabeth J.

"I worked with David Evans to sell my condo in NW DC. I would highly recommend him if you are buying or selling in DC. He is professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I appreciated his guidance and low-pressure approach throughout the process, especially as a first-time seller. He made the process seamless and easy to navigate. The condo sold the first weekend it was listed! David and his entire team were wonderful!"

Suzanne C.

"I cannot recommend Shannon enough! This is the 3rd property I have bought working with Shannon and each transaction has been seamless. For this sale, we sold and bought in the midst of a pandemic. We were able to sell our old home in an off-market deal which allowed for us to get a competitive price and keep our family safe. The service provided by The Mandy and David team (and Shannon) made the entire process incredible easy and painless. I cannot recommend Shannon and her entire team highly enough."

"Everyone involved with the Mandy & David Team met and exceeded my expectations from the beginning. I appreciated the level of professionalism, the responsiveness and the genuine kindness throughout the process from everyone involved. If you need a REALTOR®, I could not recommend them enough. You will be in great hands!"

Kara L.

"I have bought and/or sold a total of 6 properties with Franky. He is very responsive and knowledgeable of the market. He listens to your needs and continuously woks behind the scenes to find what you are looking for. His greatest strength, from my experience, is at the negotiation table... he's a beast. Franky's work ethic is beyond that of any other agent I have worked with in the past. Lastly, he comes with a team that will usher you through the transaction process; they make it very easy to buy/sell. I will use Franky again, and give him my highest recommendation."

"We bought and sold our first house in DC with Donnell. Without Donnell, we would never have found and purchased the 100 year old Capitol Hill row house that we bought with a separate legal unit - and we were able to get in before the property was listed! We got more house than we imagined for ourselves and were able to get steady rental income from the legal unit downstairs. What a great investment thanks to Donnell and his team! Highly recommend him for his professionalism, network, attentiveness, and access to some of the best properties on the market."

Steve R.

"I work as a real estate developer and have worked with the Mandy & David team to sell a new construction condo development and a renovated townhouse. On both projects, they were tremendously helpful at all steps of the way, understood all the nuances of selling a new construction condo project, and became more involved with selecting finishes, because they had such good suggestions. The entire team is great to work with, and I highly recommend them to anyone for any type of transaction."

Mike B.

"Look no further! The best real estate agent in town is right here. Phoenix helped us both buy and sell our adorable condo in Adams Morgan, and we couldn't have hoped for a better agent and friend. He and the Mandy and David team are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, calming, helpful and accommodating, making the process easier than we could have ever imagined. Thank you Phoenix, the Mandy and David Team, and Compass for your help in making a memorable home for us in DC!"

Kit B.

"We give Mandy, David, and their knowledgeable and highly responsive team all the credit for our recent home sale! They are just amazing. Throughout the listing and sales process, we relied extensively on Mandy & David's exceptional expertise. The key differentiators are their deep, insightful knowledge of the DC real estate market, their attention to detail, their team (from the photographer to their closing crew), and their ability to bring untraditional buyers available exclusively through their connections and affiliation with Compass. We highly recommend Mandy and David to anyone looking to buy or sell their property in the Metro Washington DC region and are most grateful for their help."

"In a housing market as dynamic and intense as the DC area, your REALTOR® will make or break your entire experience. Jennifer not only hustles constantly, but she wholly internalizes what's important to you as her client and never loses sight of that while working on your behalf. Selling and buying are opposite sides of the same stressful coin, but I was in capable hands with Jennifer and felt almost none of that while working with her. Jennifer is beyond a five-star rating in my view. I will always be grateful to her for how smoothly and competently she handled both of my sales. She is the best real estate professional I could have hoped for."

Linda W.

"The experience my wife & I had with Jenn Marsoni as part of the Mandy and David Team was absolutely amazing. She is an AWESOME agent! She was always very responsive via phone, email, text, etc. even later in the evening when trying to close a deal. The biggest thing was her clear demonstration that she wanted what was best for us vs just trying to make a sale. We got very lucky to have her as first-time home buyers. Highly recommend Jenn Marsoni!"

Blair K.

"David Getson and his team were top notch! David made the entire process a smooth, stress-free experience. He sold our home in a matter of days, not weeks or months, and we were very happy with the sales price. Additionally, and probably most importantly, David is just a flat out great individual. He's honest, thoughtful, and considerate, while at the same time being an absolute expert at his craft. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with David on our DC home sale, and highly recommend his services."

"I cannot recommend Sarah enough! She was amazing to work with - from the beginning, she really understood what was important to us in looking for a new home, and patiently answered our thousands of questions. She is incredibly responsive and gave solid advice on how we can shape our bids to be competitive while staying within our budget. Sarah fights hard for her clients. We were a bit down after putting in four offers that were all rejected, but ended up getting the perfect house for us. Sarah is really good at her job! She's personable and funny and cares about her clients."

Naomi P.

"Dyle and his team were truly a dream. I was very nervous about selling and he took the time to explain everything to me and deal with issues as they inevitably arose. He was there every step of the way and even after I sold (with 4+ bids) continues to be an invaluable resource on DC's real estate. I've recommended him to friends who have used him for both selling and buying as well!"

Jesica T.

"The Mandy and David Team have been at our side for three home purchases and two home sales in DC. They are great advisors, amazing negotiators and have become friends. They support the community they live in and provide the very definition of white glove service. Cannot recommend them highly enough."
