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.

Selling my brother's condo was no easy task but Celeste Zarling has the experience and superior problem solving skills to meet it head on. Mid-sale a leak occurred in the bathroom. Undaunted Celeste dealt with me, the HOA, other condo owners and plumbers. She spent hours coordinating the fix. This required many visits including one in the middle of the night with her own shop vac to clear up some water in the tub. Celeste went to bat for us and stood up for us many times. She had to deal with keys that were ancient and difficult to reproduce. She had to deal with an HOA that made it difficult to place keys to be secure yet available for other realtors to conduct showings. The key issue also took hours of her time but she never wavered and stood her ground with whomever she needed to. Selling my brother's condo to support him in assisted living was quite daunting for me. Celeste was patient and compassionate. She swooped in with extensive experience, a highly developed skillset, along with a valuable list of contacts and staged the place to look updated yet showcased its beautiful vintage charm. We recommend Celeste Zarling without reservation. She worked hard for us and I know she will work hard for anyone else.

I rented a property (925 5th Ave, Apt D3, Kirkland, WA 98033) through this real estate agent in 8/2022, and unfortunately, my experience was far from what I had anticipated. Here are some key points to consider: Misleading Fireplace: The listing showcased a lovely fireplace, but it turned out to be purely for aesthetic purposes. Attempting to use it filled the room with smoke due to an inadequate chimney. Additionally, running the kitchen vent exacerbated the issue by drawing in smoke from the neighbor's unit. Drainage Problems: The showers didn't drain properly upon move-in. After a shower, you would find yourself standing in a pool of water, which was not only inconvenient but also unsanitary. Garage Door Woes: The garage door was non-functional upon move-in, which was a significant inconvenience, especially for those with vehicles. Delayed Key Turnover: The landlords failed to meet the agreed-upon key turnover deadline. Despite being informed that the unit had been vacant for a month, there was inexplicable procrastination in cleaning and preparing the property. Misleading Lighting: The photographs provided gave the impression of well-lit rooms, but the reality was quite the opposite. The apartment was surprisingly dark, which was disappointing and affected the overall ambiance. Persistent Neighbor Issues: The tenant in the unit below consistently smoked marijuana, and the odors permeated the walls, making the entire apartment smell. This was particularly concerning if you have children or sensitivities to such odors. Electrical Problems: The living room breakers frequently tripped, causing inconvenient disruptions. In summary, my experience with this rental property was marred by numerous issues, including misleading representations and practical inconveniences. While the real estate agent played a role in facilitating the rental, the overall quality of the property left much to be desired.

Celeste was fabulous. She had my house sold in 3 days, and process finished less than 30 days from my signing the papers with her. I cannot sing her praises high enough. She and her team are go-getters. Her knowledge of the market, advertising, staging, etc was top-notch.

Celeste was great to work with. There were time restraints due to her being in Seattle and me being in Florida. Celeste was very knowledgeable regarding to things that would help sell the property. She also has friendly staff that will reach out when necessary. Overall, it was a good experience.

Celeste helped us to sell our single family home in short period of time. She brought off-market deals and guided throughout the process given our situation to sell house in short period of time. Celeste has deep expertise on real estate market and her research about house prices and market conditions are closer to the actual numbers. I happily recommend Celeste Zarling!!
