    I had an incredible experience selling my home in Sammamish thanks to my amazing realtor, Celeste. She went above and beyondaEUR"not only as a real estate agent but also as a talented designer. From day one, she helped me identify smart renovations, coordinated the work, and transformed the home beautifully. But what truly stood out was her exceptional eye for staging. Celeste made my home look like it belonged in a magazineaEUR"every detail was thoughtfully curated to highlight its best features. I'm certain her design and staging made a huge impact, helping the home sell in just one week! Throughout the entire process, she was hands-on, responsive, and a calming, professional presence. Her market knowledge, style, and commitment turned what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and even enjoyable one. I'm beyond grateful for her expertise and dedication. I highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking to sell their homeaEUR"shes truly outstanding.

    Celeste did a great job keeping everyone on track and on the path towards closing. She is very professional and punctual even when the other side of the negotiations were having a difficult time figuring out whether or not they wanted to continue with the agreement. I highly recommend her to help you sell your home or help you find one to buy as well.

    Very solid experience working with Celeste and her team to sell our home. She took care of everything, which was immensely helpful given that we lived 40 minutes away from the house we were selling. This included coordinating with handymen for repairs, landscapers, furniture movers, etc. - this took a huge load off my plate. Beyond that, I think her overall listing strategy (marketing, pricing, comp analysis, etc) was very well thought out and executed. The staging, photos and videos were very high quality, tasteful and professional. Where I think Celeste really shines is in her negotiation skills. We received two offers and were able leverage them against one another to successfully close at our asking price. Throughout these negotiations, Celeste was patient, responsive, listened and did not exert any pressure on us to make a decision one way or the other. Very fair, calm and level headed approach. Much appreciated.

    Working with Celeste was an absolute dream. She went above and beyond in every aspect of our condo search. She meticulously vetted all the properties we were interested in, ensuring every detail was perfect. Her attention to detail with the paperwork was incredibleaEUR"everything was handled flawlessly. On top of that, she personally moved heavy boxes and furniture into our new place before we even arrived! Celeste truly cares about her clients, and we couldnt recommend her more highly. If you want someone who will go the extra mile, Celeste is the realtor for you!
