My goal is to make the process of buying, selling, or owning a home efficient, enjoyable and rewarding for you. See what my clients have said about my real estate services... Dear Tristan, The "Treehouse" is sold, the money is in the bank, and I am more grateful to you than words can express. But I'll try.
You and I first met in 2002, when I viewed the cabin on Spruce as a buyer. The market was hot that summer and you were able to get me in the day before the listing went active. I remember hesitating at first and you coming to the lake to let me know that someone else was delivering an offer just in case I was still interested. I was. So we quickly put something together the next morning. Within weeks, I was the owner of a vacation home in my favorite mountain town and in those first few months of ownership, whenever I had a question about repairs and the like, you were the person I called. And without exception, you were at the ready with an answer or a local referral.
Five years and a divorce later, I found myself needing to sell the cabin a difficult, but necessary decision. The market had changed drastically. Before I had even listed the property, you noticed work going on at The Treehouse and left me a note, advising me that this was not a great time to sell. Still, I knew that I couldn't carry on with two houses and only one income. At the time, your office was in Sonora and I got talked into working with a real estate agent in Twain Harte proper what a mistake! Suffice it to say that after a few more missteps, I finally came to my senses. The house had been on the market for six months with painfully little activity. I listed it with you and we were in escrow within the month. Wow! But more than that, I felt throughout our dealings that we were truly partners in getting the house sold. At every stage, you made me feel supported in and informed about the process. As a single woman who was selling a house for the first time, this made a huge difference.
In these times, it is rare to find someone with the combination of knowledge, experience, and integrity that you bring to your work. In real estate, it is particularly refreshing. I hope you know the extent to which you truly are a treasure to the profession.
Please know how grateful I am for everything youve done on my behalf but especially for the candid conversations, the wise counsel, the attention to detail, and the unending good humor. I hope we will know each other for many, many years to come.
With warmest wishes and many thanks.
Kasi Allen Fuller - Portland, Oregon - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tristan is an excellent real estate agent. He sold our home very fast (36 days) in this slow market. His knowledge and experience is unmatched by any agent I have ever contacted. He took the time to research and investigate all questions and concerns we had prior to listing our home. He showed great skills in the listing, showing and sale of our home. Everything was better and easier than expected. Tristan also spent endless hours helping us while we searched for a new home. He made the time for us no matter how demanding we were on his time. He made us feel like our goal was important to him. I appreciate everything he has done for us. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, I would not hesitate a moment to recommend Tristan Celayeta to you!!
Vern and Tamara Gossage - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My wife and I work and live in San Jose. Over the years we have spent some quality time in the Sonora area and often thought of owning a vacation property there. My wife began an email correspondence with Tristan that lasted several months, during which time he was suggesting properties and helping us define what we wanted. We finally drove to Sonora and met with Tristan. Unlike some agents who would have given us listing to go look at, he spent two days driving us all over the area, looking at properties. We found Tristan to be very knowledgeable regarding the various communities we looked at and the real estate market in those areas. He also had a wonderful grasp of the weather patterns and details of the various landscapes, to include animal and plant life. He made us aware of some things we would never have considered. I got a sense that Tristan regarded our time as valuable and tried to show us as much as he could in the time we had, yet at no time did I feel rushed. Within two days we found what we considered to be an ideal property and made an offer. Throughout the negotiation process, we felt Tristan was representing our interests well and we had total faith in him. We found Tristan to be forthcoming and honest. There were times when he gave us information that may not have been in the best interest of closing the deal (his best interest), but it was information he thought we should have. We will recommend Tristan Celayeta to anyone considering buying a property in the Tuolumne County area. More importantly, we would use him again if we were in the market."
Edward & Chia Perry - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - About four years ago, my oldest brother decided to buy a home in the Sonora area as a vacation place and future retirement home. He found Tristan Celayeta and began his search of the area on weekends. Tristan showed him all the homes in his price range in the area. With Tristan's help, he was able to negotiate a deal on a three-acre piece of land with a lovely modular home on it. He was so pleased with Tristan's help that he recommended Tristan to our mother, who also wanted to purchase a vacation home in Sonora. Tristan kept his eye on the available listings in the area for many months, and when one seemed right for Mother, he called her and asked her to come and look. She was so pleased, she asked to make an offer on the spot. And, with Tristan's help, was able to negotiate a deal on 10 acres overlooking New Melones. Sonora has always been a favorite place for me to come for vacations, as well. With all the lakes, history, and wildlife it was a favorite place to relax. So, this year when my husband and I decided we would like to find a vacation home in the area, Mother recommended Tristan as our realtor. We were very impressed with Tristan, who kept us informed of all the listings in the area that were within our price range and spent whole days showing us properties. He was there for us each day by phone and email during each step of the process. We were new to home-buying, but with Tristan's help, the process was easy. He worked hard behind the scenes to make sure all our questions were answered and we were completely satisfied with the purchase. We now have a nice vacation place in Columbia to enjoy thanks to Tristan Celayeta and all his hard work on our behalf. I would not hesitate to recommend him to all my friends and family who want to buy property in the Sonora area.
Kathy & Dan Ordner - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tristan was very responsive to our initial internet inquiry to purchase a home and easy to communicate with throughour the process. He listened to what we had to say and used great ingeniuty in really matching our broad range of desires to possible properties. It was a pleasure working with Tristan.
