It was extremely important to find an agent who would listen to our needs and work with us vs just steering us to properties currently available regardless of whether it fit Celeste Purdie realized we actually desired a fixer upper where we could put our own stamp as well as live mortgage free, although I think she was surprised by the project house that we chose. She was excellent at pointing out areas needing repair that we may not have seen and ,as we were residing 6 hours away negotiating the sale of our house and the purchase in SC, Celeste was invaluable at coordinating inspections needed. She was a motivator when I was disheartened by how the sale of our house in TN was going.She was friendly throughout the process but the kind of friend who isn't afraid to get real with you. Celeste never failed to truly listen, gave honest opinions and pointed out positives and negatives in each home seen. She scheduled as many homes we could in the few days that we had to shop the market. She was extremely patient with differing desires of my husband and myself and she responded quickly despite timezone differences.
