As a first-time home seller, my wife and I did not have a clue about the presentation, staging or marketing of a home.  Celeste excels in that area and was full of outside-the-box ideas to make our home stand out amongst the many on the market. 

Her attention to detail and outstanding organizational skills were evident throughout the process.  Thank you Celeste!

Patty B.

Again, thank you again for all you have done.  You were a tremendous help and it was amazing that there were only minor obstacles in the selling and closing due to the professional way you handled the whole transaction.

Celeste, I would highly recommend you to anyone that needs help buying and selling in the residential real estate market.  Your follow-up is excellent and your professionalism is superb.  Take care and keep in touch1

Celeste helped us find and purchase our new home and marketed our 'old' residence so well, it sold in just over 30 days.  Our old home was expertly shown on the internet...we got a lot of traffic through and left others unsold.

On our purchase we took about 8 months and viewed hundreds of listings but Celeste never rushed us or seemed impatient because she knew we were looking for our dream home... and we found it! 

Thanks Celeste

I am happily settled into my new condo and I want to tell you how much I appreciate everything you have done for me.  My condo was on the market with another Realtor ( a personal friend) for three months.  I was a bit frustrated that it was not selling and my friend understood that I needed to move on.  I called you, Celeste, because you helped me sell my home in Niles, IL in 1992 and each Christimas I would receive a greeting from you.  Each time I received that, it reminded me of how skillfully you negotiated that deal.  After I called you things moved quickly!

You accurately saw what needed to be done in order to showcase my home.  Because of your advice, I rented a storage unit and cleared things out of my place.  I would have had to pack these things anyway.  When this was done you began showing my place AND we got a qualified buyer within the first week!  I really don't think I would have managed without you.

I will recommend you to any of my family and friends without hesitation because I have come to know the level of your personal commitment, professionalism and trustworthiness.  You have my deepest appreciation.

I truly had no idea how blessed I would be when I got the recommendation from a business acquaintance to contact you as my potential real estate agent!  Now, I am so excited to pass this blessing on to other through this note of recommendation.  From the first meeting we had regarding the sale of my condo, I could see that your professional personality, your excitement, dedication, experience, commitment, attention to detail and follow-through would exceed all of my expectations.  In addition, I had sentimental and emotional attachments to the condo I was selling and you were so gentle and understanding of my needs.  But most of all, I knew I could trust you.  Choosing you as my agent was a GREAT decision and one I will absolutely repeat if the situation ever arises again.

It is with the highest regard and recommendation that I submit this note.  I only hope that I can affect someone else's decision to choose you as their agent -- it will be one of the best choices they can make.  I welcome the opportunity to speak with any potential client should they wish to contact me.

Norman and I are pleased to have the opportunity to comment on her services to us.  (Celeste)...began with a very comprehensive and informative conference to plan strategy of our sale.  Her pricing of the house was excellent and realistic for the market.  The brochure and Virtual Tour she prepared illustrated our home to good advantage.  Her help at closing was expert and her follow-up to see if we needed anything in transition was an added value to us. 

We can recommend Celeste Barr without any reservations!

Celeste helped us sell our home in Buffalo Grove during the difficult real estate market of late 2007. Her attention to detail, support in showing our home, and follow up were especially helpful in closing at a price that was beneficial to us. 

We strongly recommend Celeste Barr to be your Realtor!

This one sheet of paper just isn't enough room to say all the great things that she did for us.  But, since this is what I have to work with, I'll do my best to be brief.  Celeste is truly THE BEST in her field!  She has unimaginable patience.  She uses every tool at her disposal to help her clients reach their goal.  She is open, honest, willing to educate and provides useful suggestions.  Most of all, she loves what she does and she cares about the happiness of her clients. 

I can't wait to work with Celeste again!

Steve and Michelle J.

We recently worked with Celeste and were impressed by her customer service skills with us as clients.  She always made us feel like we were her 'only' client.  We were very pleased with our buying of our new home as well.  Celeste was excellent handling situations in "multiple" offers and guided us to getting our beautiful home! 

Thank you Celeste!

Mark and Anila B.

We recently worked with Celeste and she was fantastic!  It took us a year and a half to sell our home (in order to buy) and Celeste never doubted, was always upbeat and invested tremendous time in helping us to eventually make a purchase. 

Great persistence!  Great sales work ethic!  GO CELESTE!
