Solving Problems With Ease
"I had the pleasure of using Manon as my purchasing agent. We ended up buying one of her listings. I was not only impressed with her professionalism, but I was also inspired to employ her form of “negotiation & problem solving” in my own business ventures. Every time we hit a snag, Manon would calmly say, “How can we make both parties happy.” She would find the center ground between the seller and buyer, making both parties feel satisfied & happy. I could not recommend Manon more highly. She began as a face on a flyer and turned into a cherished friend."

Persistent and Creative
“Manon was extraordinarily patient and resourceful in helping me find my dream home, as well as extremely persistent and creative in helping me get it into contract at the right price. Then she managed the closing process flawlessly and stuck with me long after she got her fee, for example, putting me in touch with top-notch contractors and service providers. Manon is uniquely well-connected and respected in the Tahoe area, plus she’s as efficient and professional as any agent I’ve worked with in the Bay Area. I would recommend her exclusively and without qualification.”

A Pleasure to Work With
"Manon helped us buy a beautiful new home in Tahoe Donner and we really enjoyed working with Manon. Not only did Manon tirelessly focus on our needs, Manon was incredibly helpful in making our purchase as simple as possible. Manon helped us after the purchase too. Manon is a huge pleasure to work with and we recommend her wholeheartedly."
Victor
Unsurpassed Knowledge
"Manon has repeatedly assisted me, as well as many friends (most of whom are also licensed agents), in buying and selling real estate in the Truckee area. Manon has unsurpassed local knowledge, she understands value and pricing in up and down markets, and her excellent negotiating skills have made for successful buying and selling transactions. She anticipated my needs, responded immediately to my calls and emails, and followed up on all outstanding items. Her extraordinary service has continued long after the sales closed – including giving me recommendations for local contractors, updating me on real estate market conditions, and even loaning me kayaks and snowshoes! I recommend Manon’s services to anyone looking for the best agent in the Tahoe-Truckee area."
Amy Bush
ABOVE and BEYOND
"I couldn’t have been happier with the service that Manon provided. She went above and beyond the call of duty. Unfortunately I live 450 miles from Truckee and was unable to take care of any attention to detail and Manon took care of everything, quickly and efficiently. My husband and I would recommend her services to any and all."

Saving Your Money
"Manon is a great real estate agent. When we were buying our house, she helped negotiate a price to save us $5,000! She had lots of good information about life in Truckee. Manon has lots of good advice and is very resourceful."
Ryan and Cheryl
"When you choose Manon Celaya for your agent, you can feel confident that your home will sell quickly. Manon was proactive in addressing any issues that may arise during the sale of my home, paying attention to detail so that your home is sale-ready when it hits the market. She was both personal and professional in the way that she interacted with potential buyers and their agents. Manon listened to and addressed any concerns that I had, allowing me to relax knowing that I was in good hands. You will be glad that you’ve chosen Manon to represent you in the sale of your home!"
