Celeste Chism

About Celeste:

Multi - Million Dollar Producer Since 1999, Broker & Owner of Choice Real Estate,LLC, Graduate of Realtor Institute and Acredited Buyers Representative. Real Estate Expert and Consumer Advocate. Licensed since 1985 in Philadelphia, I have always found myelf working in the real estate field and knew that it would be my life long career.

I began my new life here in Tennessee with my new husband in 1995. Shortly after our move here from Florida, I obtained my real estate license and began working at a well established real estate firm in Fairfiled Glade, TN. My business grew very quickly and I was very successful selling property in this beautiful resort community. Among many golf courses & peaceful lakes I flourished in my success. Fairfield Glade is well known as a retirement community located on the Cumberland Plateau mountains in middle Tennessee.

Never taking the final and big step to become a Broker until 2004 when I felt that it was time to step forward and pursue greater possibilities of growth. I moved on to open my own firm in 2006 and have enjoyed the journey. As time goes by, I am enjoying my career more than ever and feel so challenged to grow even more now than ever.

I have accomplished great success in the real estate business and have been among some of the top producers in our area for many years. My goal is to continue educating the real estate consumer and be among the best of the best, not so much in production but in people's minds. Currently, I am working on obtaining my Accredited Staging Professional's designation.

I am enjoying the journey and am working towards looking back with no regrets.

A Life of Purpose

In 2006 I opened my own firm and after a few months in business, I knew I needed to change the name of my company. I felt so strongly that there had to a better way to buy & sell real estate than the way everyone around me was doing it. I started working on the concept of charging a flat fee for my services and then the market started to change. Well. we were all wondering what was going on and where were we all going??? The changing market caused me to re-think my deep desire to go "out of the box." Well, after riding it all out, I have come to the conclusion that I must implement the changes because someone really needs to make a difference and help the consumer in our area.

I am glad to say we have changed our company's selling & buying programs and have decided that we had waited long enough and know that it is time to put the consumer first. I was so tired of everyone doing the same thing over and over again with no "light" insight! And why is it, that everyone seems to think that when you make a change and do something "out of the box" you have a selfish motive behind your actions. I am proud to say that today my firm offers the real estate consumer, both buyers and sellers outstanding savings without sacrificing quality.

My clients are happier and more in control. I feel good about our "money management" philosophy and how we practice real estate now. Giving the real estate consumer great service, professional expertise and saving them thousands of dollars while doing it it truly rewarding. I really believe that... "The Purpose of Life is Having a Life of Purpose." I specialize in listing and selling homes in the beautiful Crossville and Cumberland County areas, Magnificient Cumberland Cove, Delightful Lake Tansi and Prestigious Fairfield Glade Resort.

They were very aggressive when selling my home...

Sandy Hart

Thank you so much. We have sold our condo and for the full asking price I might add. We had it listed on 2 internet sites and our buyer found it on HomesByOwner. We had advertised in the paper and had held an open house but it was your internet listing that sold it! You provide a wonderful service. Thank you again. Karen R.Holyoke

Our property is sold! Thank You for the service. Jim & Shirley Springfield

I would recommend Choice Real Estate to anyone...
"My husband and I used Choice Real Estate to sell our vacation home in the Crossville area. It was only on the market for a few months. Celeste aggressively marketed our home, for we needed a quick sale. I was very pleased with the professional service we received and the thousands of dollars we saved. I would recommend Choice Real Estate to anyone interested in selling their home or looking to buy one. She is so nice and personable-we felt we had known her for years! Thanks Celeste for helping us achieve our dreams!"

You have made this experience very pleasant for me...
"I want to say thank you for all the things you did to help me find my home this week. You have made this experience very pleasant for me! Thank you, thank you & thank you."
Stephanie Oppenborn, Crossville TN

We have always been happy working with Celeste and her team.
"We had been coming to the Crossville area for a few years on vacations before we decided to buy property there. When we decided to start looking for property in the area we met Celeste Chism from Choice Real Estate. We were impressed by her knowledge of the region and the real estate market here overall. A few years after purchasing property we decided that maybe we could sell them and invest in a home so that we would have someplace to stay when we came to visit. She was able to sell our properties and get us enough money to put a large sum down on a home & saved us money in commission. She also has sold property on several occasions for friends of mine. Right now we are using our home as a vacation rental and I refer her to everybody who inquires about purchasing or selling in the area. We have always been very happy working with Celeste and her team."
Bryan & Barbara Miller, Cumberland County

Thank you for your undivided attention & expertise...
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Celeste Chism for taking the time to give me her undivided attention and expertise in being able to select a beautiful property in Tennessee. I was familiar with the area and knew what I wanted. Celeste put together a few properties, not only within my price range, but close to my cousin's property which he purchased 12 years earlier. Celeste went out of her way to make our stay pleasant, and her hospitality made us feel like we had known her for years. Thank you again for making my dream reality!" Jackie Sirven, Miami FL
