As a first-time home buyer, I really appreciated working with Celeste. She was knowledgeable, reassuring, and always willing to answer my many questions along the way. Even when challenges came up during the process, she remained kind, patient, and supportive. I’m grateful for her guidance and happy to now be in my new home. Thank you, Celeste!

We met Celeste Barr of EXP Realty at an open house. Celeste knew we would not be putting in a bid on the house we were looking at but went out of her way to try and help us. We were impressed at Celeste's obvious desire to help even if there was nothing in it for herself. She gave us great information and help in our search to find a new home. A short time later we saw a listing for a home we wanted to see and contacted Celeste. She bent over backwards to help us see the property and it was obvious that it was just in her DNA to help and serve. We knew we wanted her as our agent and let me tell you she did not disappoint.
It had been almost ten years since our last new home purchase and we were surprised by the changes in the real estate market. It was amazingly different so we were very happy we had chosen Celeste as our agent because she walked us through the process and guided us every step of the way always making sure we understood what was going on.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Celeste Barr to sell my house, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From day one Celeste demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and dedication.
After just three days I had a great offer that I accepted! This remarkable achievement is a testament to Celestes understanding of the market, strategic approach, and outstanding negotiation skills. Throughout the process, Celeste was always available to answer my questions, provide valuable insights, and ensure everything went smoothly.
I highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Her commitment to excellence and client satisfaction was exceptional. Thank you, Celeste for making this experience so positive and stress-free!

Choosing Celestial Barr at EXP Reality to assist with selling my home of 52 years is the best decision I made. Not only is she a consummate professional, she is a kind and compassionate person. She understood what I had to experience to leave the home I had personally added so much to over the years to meet my family needs. She provided gentle guidance to present my home in the best way that would result in another family appreciating all it had to offer and the result was exactly what I had hoped for. Not only was my home sold within 24 hours of being on the market,the price I received was more than I could have imagined. It’s with much gratitude to and for Celeste that I now have the means and peace of mind to enjoy my retirement.
