Cerina is the best of the best! My Wife and I have bought and sold nearly a dozen Homes and Cerina is by far the most outstanding Realtor we have experienced. follow up on details, help with contractors and inspectors, late night and early morning calls she was always on top of the situation.
We were purchasing from out of town and Cerina was like a family member looking out for us.
We will always recommend Cerina to family and friends looking for help on the real estate market.
My wife and I will always call Cerina a friend.-Mike Boles

Being from out of state, Cerina was instrumental in answering questions, showing us the house, and giving recommendations for local vendors. The amount of personal time she provided is like I have never seen. I have already recommended her to others she has become like family. This is the second house she has helped us with and will use her again whenever a real-estate issue comes up. If any if our family needs an agent she is the one we will recommend.

Cerina was so responsive in all aspects of buying the right house for me. She made herself available and answered all my questions after due diligence in a very professional way. She never pressed me to decide in a certain way and just let me think about matters after explaining the pros and cons of a house under consideration. She is a very good negotiator acting in the best interest of her buyer. I strongly recommend her, particularly for a first time buyer like me, for her expertise and patience in navigating the intricate process of choosing and buying a house for your primary residence.

I don’t have sufficient words to communicate how helpful and supportive Cerina was during the entire search process. What impressed me the most was how she was able to understand what my wife and I were looking for in a home so completely. No wasted visits.

Met Cerina is a serendipitous way and it was meant to be. She found the right home at the right price within five working days of our meeting after we'd been looking on and off for seven years! She stayed on top of everything during the short escrow. She's smart, fun and I organized.

Cerina helped not only sell my house on the first day for over 10% more than asking, she was able to find a beautiful, safe and affordable rental in town for my daughter so she could stay and finish her college degree She was in contact with me on during evenings, weekends and a holiday. I hated I had to contact her during those times but as a seller you are anxious to know what is happening with your property. She answered my text and calls immediately. Best real estate experience in my 35 years of selling, moving and renting.

We totally trusted Cerina and she was/is amazing. We bought our home site unseen except though video conferencing with Cerina. It was a nerve-racking experience, but she walked us through it and we couldn't be more pleased with our new home. Thank you so much.

Cerina was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made buying a house an easy process. She was very knowledgeable with the market and the process of selling or buying a home. She was very prompt with response time and always helped us to understand what everything meant. She would be the first agent I went to if I was to ever need to sell or buy a house.

Cerina put us in the house of our dreams. She worked with us for months as my wife and I went back and forth on whether we wanted to move or not. When she showed us THE house, we were all in. She was diligent in finding answers to our questions about our new house (septic, easements, property lines etc).
She then became our selling agent as well. Our house received a contract on it the first day it was listed. Cerina also had contingency offers lined up behind the first contract. She was always available for questions, answers and comments during the entire process and made the move feel seamless. Great agent and friend.
Be ready to move soon if you choose Cerina.-Ron & Stephanie Gatlin

My wife and I had Cerina as our agent for the purchase of our new home and selling the old one. We have worked with many agents over the years, but none as good as her. She was not only extremely professional, but exceeded our expectations. She went above and beyond the call of duty and truly cares about her customers. To help expedite the closing on our old home, her and her husband helped us move out the remaining furniture, on a Sunday. And not just any Sunday, it was Super Bowl Sunday. I would highly recommend Cerina, a true professional, and if we ever need an agent in that area again, she will my first choice!

Bought a Vacant Land home in 2026 in Byrdstown, TN.
My husband and I have never had such an effortless real estate transaction (and we have had several) thanks to Cerina. From start to finish we have never felt more relaxed. Cerina truly thinks of everything. You’re completely prepared during the entire process without those sleepless nights of worry. Highly professionally, very knowledgeable about not only the transaction itself but the area we were purchasing in, and incredibly kind too!! Moving forward we will recommend no one else.
