Amazing experience!! When others were not willing to help, Arnold Celis stepped in and negotiated the very best deal for me and my family and he did it all for free! When any of my friends or family are ready to sell a house, I am DEFINITELY and wholeheartedly going to recommend Arnold Celis! He has an entire team dedicated to my MY NEEDS! He is by far the very most honest and absolutely the VERY BEST Real Estate Broker in Harlingen Texas! He even recommended me NOT signing a contract because it was not to my best interest. Any other Realtor would have had me sign just to earn a quick commission! Arnold actually cared what was best for my family and I not necessarily about his commission. What a difference! I had asked for help from others and they could not make a quick buck, they would not help me! Arnold Celis Realty, LLC truly looked after what was best for his client! Wow! That’s the best way to describe my experience here in Harlingen, Texas!

Mr. Arnold Celis is a very dedicated, knowledgeable and talented realtor. To help me find a home he first made it a point to ask and understand what I was looking for. He helped me feel comfortable to ask questions at whatever time of the day. My schedule is a mess and not flexible at all, but that never held Arnold back from being there via text/call or being there in person. He always reassured me with factual information, that is and was, very useful when I was looking for a home. Working with Arnold to find a home didn’t feel like I was shopping for a home, it felt more like I was researching and exploring homes, learning about each and every one of them to then find one that had exactly what I wanted. Arnold never pressured me to buy a home, he never made the impression that he was trying to persuade me to buy a home. Instead he guided me through the process. It is definitely noticeable that Arnold loves his job. He radiates knowledge and experience. I am beyond grateful to have met Arnold, JJ and his team. I am truly thankful.
I highly recommend Arnold to guide and help anyone that decides to start their home buying journey.

Arnold worked with my brother and I to get our parent’s house sold. It was an emotional journey, and it was nice having someone who knows the process extremely well to help us get through it. Arnold had great recommendations on list price which actually got us an offer well above asking price. Wow!
Also because we don’t live in Harlingen, Arnold arranged for a virtual e-Notary signing for closing day which was super helpful and much appreciated. This meant we didn’t have to travel or delay closing to get paperwork signed.
We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Arnold answered all of our questions along the way, even when they were repetitive.
Thank you, Arnold, for your patience, expertise and all of your help!

Arnold Celis and his team were truly indispensable in helping to execute our recent home purchase in Harlingen, Texas. Available, prompt and courteous without exception, Arnold's vast experience helped make our transaction seem simple, although it was complicated a bit by the fact that we are about 2500 miles away. Arnold's knowledge of the market and long-standing relationships with other real estate, title/escrow, lender and contractor professionals helped us safely and cost-effectively navigate the numerous potential pitfalls in the buy/sell process. Many times, our questions and concerns were addressed before we even voiced them! We will seek Arnolds help for all our future transactions in the Rio Grande Valley and highly recommend you consider doing the same. You'll be glad you did!

Positive: Responsiveness
I was buying a house in Brownsville and Arnold was super responsive and helpful. The deal almost fell through TWICE, but he was able to coax the seller into calming down and his problem solving helped me close for less than I offered.

In a crazy market as a first-time home buyer in Austin, Texas, Arnold was able to save us on the initial offer plus additional savings once under contract! He instantly created rapport with the other agent to get our offer accepted within hours on a Sunday evening! As a Broker, his expertise was obvious in several ways that we kept saying “without Arnold, there’s no way we would have gotten this deal done SO FAST (less than 3 weeks from accepted offer to close).” His advising was spot on that even the seller told us how they could tell how much he personally cared to get us the best deal in every way. We’re so excited to begin this next chapter of our lives in our amazing new home in Austin.
