Cecile Steinriede

Excellent in all aspects.

I had a terrible time finding a realtor and was getting discouraged when a friend of a friend recommended Plumer Real Estate. I walked in off the street and met Cecile Steinriede. She asked me what I wanted and I told her: move in condition, great kitchen, and I didn't have a lot of money to spend. She wrote that down in a notebook, studied it, and looked up and said, "This will be challenging." Cecile immediately took me out and showed me 4 houses. I didn't tell her then, but I fell in love with the first house. I loved it the minute I walked in. I couldn't believe I could afford it. Within days, I brought 3 of my friends along to look at the houses with me. It was always great fun being with Cecile. What I liked best is that she has a great eye and loves to talk about how to use space. The combination of a former interior decorator and a realtor is a winning combination. Cecile works extremely hard and is not intimidated by anything. She will do whatever the job takes. She's curious and always learning new things. Everything she told me was true. The civic association has planted hundreds of trees in recent years in my neighborhood. There are fabulous restaurants around the corner from me. Cecile will listen and she won't be satisfied until she finds a house for you that she believes you will be happy with. Cecile and I are still in touch 6 years later and that makes me happy. (Cecile received whatever the commission was when I bought the house. I don't know the dollar amount.)

I highly recommend Cecile Steinriede. Our experience with her really stands out as superb. She has a high level of expertise, knows the area, does her research, and most importantly is conscientious, prompt, and straightforward. This sets her apart apart from her peers. Without Cecile we would not have been able able to sell our house at near asking price in a difficult market. In addition, she is a delight to spend time with and we were fortunate to have worked with her.
