Celeste is committed to delivering concierge-level service to every client, and I experienced that firsthand when I worked with her.
After attending an open house in my neighborhood, I wanted to show the property to my daughter. I contacted the listing agent three separate times and never received a response. Frustrated, I called Celeste for help. Within 15 minutes, she had secured a showing appointment.
From that point forward, Celeste truly shined. She engaged with the listing agent, gained valuable insight into the seller's motivation, and prepared a comprehensive market analysis that helped us understand the property's value. She guided us through the development of a strong offer and an effective negotiating strategy.
Once our offer was accepted, Celeste continued to provide exceptional support. She used her experience and expertise to guide us through the home inspection and mortgage processes, ensuring that every step moved forward smoothly.

Celeste is very thorough. I have used her services twice. Once buying and once selling. She has made every step in the process stress free. She is very experienced and committed to her clients till the very end. I would highly recommend Celeste to anyone in the Chicagoland area for their Real Estate needs.

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.
