I am a Texas BROKER/OWNER. My team and I at Emblem Properties are here to serve you!
My introduction into real estate came about through a love of working with people and because of my organizational skills and efficiency. I managed a local real estate office for over a year and from the encouragement of brokers and agents decided to go in to full time real estate sales.
I love this business! What drives me each day is the opportunity to help someone. As the Broker/Owner of Emblem Properties, I am able to continue to help clients whether they are selling or buying real estate and work with our team of agents as they serve even more clients. I continue to educate myself to be more knowledgeable of the changes in this business and to offer the best information and advice to my agents and clients.
Emblem Properties services the the Huntsville/Walker County area along with many bordering areas as far South as Houston, North to Centerville, East to Crockett, and West to Bryan/College Station. We offer "The Customer Service Difference--Where OUR CLIENTS are #1."
I have been a Texas REALTOR® since 1998. This career has been built on being in the relationship business rather than the selling business. Working in a rural area such as ours has given me the opportunity to gain years of experience in residential, commercial, farm & ranch, and unimproved properties. Our buyers, sellers, and property management clients range from multi-family investors to recreational lake home owners to owner-occupied residential homes. Close proximity to Sam Houston State University offers us some unique challenges and opportunities with student and faculty housing needs; we enjoy working with these newcomers to our area. Our area is growing and changing. We look forward to all of the possibilities that this new economic development brings to our communities.

Does your home no longer fit your needs? Too big? Too small? Not enough land? Too much land? Need to sell your current home before you can buy a new one? How does this process work?

Serving greater Walker and Trinity counties, including the Lake Livingston area, Celeste knows what it takes to make your home sell. From social marketing to staging to professional photography, she will work tirelessly to make sure you get the most 'bang for your buck'. Choosing the right neighborhood, the right home that meets your needs, plus helping navigate the transaction details like financing, negotiating, inspections, appraisals, closing timeframe and more - Celeste is on top of it all. Here is Celeste's story in her own words: I've always found my niche working in customer service and problem resolution. Give me a complicated issue, and I will untangle it. After years in the healthcare industry, and the burnout that ensued, I found myself wanting to make a change. I accepted a temporary (I thought) part time job as an admin in a real estate office while I figured out my next steps. However, this industry began to grow on me. I'm not a 'sales-y' person, so I wasn't sure this would be a good fit. What I learned was, while agents do help clients buy and sell real property, this business is so much more about our relationships with people and making sure they get the absolute best without being screwed over. Many of my clients have become my friends and repeat customers and I LOVE helping them and keeping in touch even after the transaction closes. No, I won't always tell you what you want to hear. No, I don't just open doors and collect commissions. Yes, I will help guide you through each step of what can be a complicated, and sometimes lengthy, transaction. And y
