We had an excellent experience working with Celest Blackburn as our real estate agent in purchasing for our investment property. From start to finish, Celest was incredibly responsive and communicative — even during late evenings and weekends. She met with us multiple times at various properties and was always available to answer questions and guide us through the process. The house we purchased had been somewhat neglected and presented several challenges and Celest demonstrated exceptional expertise in negotiating with the seller and the seller’s agent. She provided thoughtful recommendations and practical solutions that helped move the transaction forward and was instrumental in structuring the deal so it could successfully close. Celest even provided exceptional service post-close during a leaseback period that had some unique challenges with the seller. Celest is an outstanding communicator and very timely with contracts, offers, and counteroffers. She also excelled in the administrative side of the transaction by coordinating inspections, recommending contractors to address inspection findings, and organizing a very smooth closing process with the title company. We truly appreciated her professionalism, responsiveness, and problem-solving abilities throughout the entire purchase process. We highly recommend Celest Blackburn to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and effective real estate agent.
