Celeste Chism

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.

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 feel such a fresh outlook on my career in real estate. I don't think I could ever go back to practicing real estate the way I used to before. It seems that my clients are happier and more in control. I feel good about our "money management" philosophy and how we practice real estate now. I specialize in listing and selling beautiful homes in Fairfield Glade, Crossville, Cumberland County and Putnam County in Tennessee.
