I cannot recommend Celeste enough. Super organized, amazing follow through and my house sold in days…

I knew when we were ready to sell our house of 16 years, the only person I wanted for this journey was Celeste. As you can imagine, it was an emotional roller coaster, and Celeste was right there through it all. Superior guidance, advice, data comparisons and (most importantly for us) the greatest motivator! Celeste isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. Like seriously. Ask me about the time she showed up with a chainsaw and was ready to help tackle the yard. Kid you not.

Selling our lake house of 10 years was difficult and emotional for me. Celeste assisted us in every step of the process. She was so patient, diligent, and knowledgeable and has a wonderful network of professional relationships that made all the difference for us in the end. Her attention to detail and her go-above-and-beyond attitude was not only refreshing but resulted in a very successful sale of our home! Ethical, diligent and effective.

Working with Celeste was the best experience, I can’t recommend her enough. This was our first time buying a home and we really didn’t know what we were getting into, I’m so thankful we had Celeste to guide us! I honestly can’t imagine going through this process with anyone else. She is straight to the point and gets stuff done!

Celeste is wonderful! She took a lot of the stress out of buying our first home. We met her at an open house in South Austin the summer of 2019, when we were first starting to dip our toes in the market. Although we were originally very reserved and unsure of exactly what we were looking for, Celeste respected our time frame and budget, and patiently helped us throughout the entire home buying process. After spending some time really understanding what we were both looking for, Celeste ultimately....

…we’re in our dream house, and Celeste put us there.
…we’re in our dream house, and Celeste put us there.

First and foremost, Celeste understood us. Looking for a home is a very personal and unique experience, and we didn’t want to feel like a statistic. Celeste is just so naturally warm and thoughtful and appreciative that we immediately trusted our search with her. And we weren’t easy customers: for one year straight she sent us listings of homes that fit our parameters. During that time, not once did she lose energy in us or our search or the full expectation that we would find the perfect home together.....

Really great experience.
Really great experience.

I just wanted to take a moment and write a little testimonial for my experience finding a house with Celeste. FUN! Moving usually isn't, but Celeste found great listings and made the routing easy. Great conversation and most importantly Celeste offered her POV in highly constructive ways. She made me see things in a little different light than what I was perceiving. Really great experience. Thank you Celeste.

We had no idea how to start searching for our first home in this crazy Austin housing market. Celeste took the time to know us and what is important to our lifestyle. She considered our budget, wants, and unique needs and found us the most spectacular home. She wouldn't let us settle for less than what we wanted. We are so thankful to come home to our amazing vintage home everyday!
