Established Independent Full Service Real Estate Brokerage specializing in selling & buying Santa Cr

Born and raised in Santa Cruz, Celeste knows this unique and beautiful area in, out and all around! As a fifth generation native, and a member of one of the “long-time” Santa Cruz families, Celeste has extensive knowledge of county neighborhoods and school systems. She obtained her California Real Estate License in 1991, a year before graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara. As a Santa Cruz native, her roots run deep in the community. As an event planner with the City of Santa Cruz, she has created, coordinated and managed more than two-dozen annual, local, community, and fundraising events during the past decade. As Regional Development Director, she worked for Special Olympics Monterey Bay Region, overseeing the Law Enforcement Torch Run and all other regional fundraising events and campaigns. She had the honor to be chosen by the City of Santa Cruz to coordinate the Olympic Torch Run in 2002. She was also staff liaison for the Public Art Committee, the Arts Commission, and Sister Cities programs. Though she has traveled extensively internationally, Celeste agrees with Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ, “There is no place like home!” With passion for her hometown, proven real estate expertise and commitment to helping each client find their ideal home, Celeste guides her clients through the process of home sale, selection and purchase. She will negotiate for you realizing the best possible price whether it is a sale or a purchase.

When the pace of the Santa Cruz County market slows, buyers can take a breath, and negotiate with more confidence.

A calmer environment means you’re less likely to face rapid-fire decisions or intense bidding pressure. That extra time opens the door for careful inspections, deeper research, and more balanced conversations with sellers. It’s also an opportunity to rethink what you really need versus what you’re willing to compromise, whether it’s exploring local affordable-home programs, considering a property with ADU potential, or adjusting timing to match your priorities.

I find that buyers who approach their search with clear non-negotiables are able to adjust strategy without sacrificing what matters most. In today’s market, more breathing room can translate to smarter offers and the chance to secure terms that work for your lifestyle.

Have you noticed any differences in how negotiations feel lately? Share your experience or questions below.
