Formerly, I have sold four properties privately and my husband, two, so it was a bit of a culture shock to feel we had to employ real estate agents. However, in the selling of 5 Elizabeth Place, I believe we couldn't have found a more capable agent in Celeste. She explained the whole process in language we could understand, and reassured us that all would be well, every step of the way in this current flat property market; her communications were friendly and articulate, and she negotiated to get the best deals for us.

Soon after the commencement of selling the market fell away and there was a shortage of people looking for properties in our price bracket and with a large garden. Celeste kept modifying the presentation so that the offering always looked fresh and each time that was done there was an increase in viewing.

We initially asked for four agents from different agencies to evaluate our property. We selected Celeste as our preferred, as she was the agent who most carefully evaluated the value of our property in context of the significant renovation and improvement work that we had done. She presented excellent market and process knowledge; and she accurately relayed the additional points of value and the impact that this had on the property. Celeste gave us confidence that she would be able to reach the market that would value these additional features and she delivered on this. We were presented with four reasonable offers on a brought forward deadline. Celeste put in significant effort to ensure that the process ran smoothly and efficiently. She communicated regularly and clearly with both us and the buyers. We had full confidence that if we had not selected one of the early proposals, Celeste would have had no trouble continuing to show and promote the property while we were overseas. We would highly recommend Celeste as an agent and are hugely grateful to her for the care and professionalism that she has demonstrated throughout this process.

I was a first home buyer and Celeste was excellent at navigating me through the process. She answered all of my questions and phone calls promptly and I felt comfortable, and she made the process stress-free. I highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking to buy a home!

Celeste was well aware of my needs and urgency for a quick sale. Worked hard on thorough research and marketing of my property. Communication was great. I highly recommend Celeste and will definitely use her again in the future.

I found Celeste wonderful right from listing to selling. My home was not an easy sell, but Celeste worked tirelessly to get it sold. She was very positive and encouraging the whole time (even when I wasn't). And got me the price I wanted. Celeste kept me well informed of progress. I highly recommend Celeste to market your property.

Celeste was professional and helpful.

We trusted Celeste right from the start. Her communication is exemplary as is her knowledge and professionalism. We feel very fortunate to have worked with her.

I trust Celeste she gave good direction and we achieved an excellent result.

Celeste is an excellent communicator with in-depth understanding and knowledge of the Taranaki real estate market and the sales process. Her professionalism and efficiency enabled me to purchase a property within 24 hours of viewing even with an out of town vendor involved. I would not hesitate to work with Celeste again and highly recommend her as an agent.

Celeste has been great to deal with especially around communication. Would recommend

Celeste helped us with an estate sale, which we had to undertake from outside New Plymouth. She was focussed, well-informed and repeatedly went the extra mile - really appreciated it.
