In working with Frank, 48 hours was all it took to have three offers on our home, two of which were over the asking price. In addition to the excellent response to our home's listing, the experience with Frank was very positive. You will find he's a trustworthy, accomplished and enjoyable person with whom to work and knows his business very well. Frank's team of professional colleagues is also notable. He arranged for photography and an online, interactive floor plan for our home. Both were impressive and added to our houses presentation for sale. In addition to working with us, Frank's colleague, Mark, was excellent at handling the finer details and coordinating issues pertaining to the sale. On all issues from start to finish, our calls and emails were answered promptly and thoroughly. There would be no hesitation in choosing Frank if we were to do it all over again. We were extremely happy working with him and thrilled with the results we got in selling our home!

What I have learned about buying & selling real estate is that anyone can show & sell a property. What it, ultimately, comes down to is a negotiator. When we decided to sell 2 condos, we went to Frank Celeste. His reputation precedes him. With Frank, we got a person who devoted his job to not only selling our property but getting what we deserved for our property. He was as invested as we were. Frank provided us with up-to-date feed-back on potential buyers, concerns & recommendations. All were essential in helping us sell our property. His negotiation skills were more than impressive. In the end, Frank got us the best price, our recommendation & our loyalty. It is easy to say that I couldn't have picked a better person to help us sell a place that we had called home to for 33 years. Frank is a great broker & special friend!

From Jill Roteing on August 26, 2011 I have known and worked with Frank since the 1990's. In my opinion he is one of the best brokers I have ever worked with. He knows his area, his market and understands what people are looking for and makes it happen. He is a connector.
