Celéste de Haas is a real estate professional known for her calm, caring, and thoughtful approach to property — particularly for people navigating times of transition. With almost 10 years’ experience in real estate across South Africa and New Zealand, and now in her third year working in the New Zealand market, Celéste brings both depth of knowledge and a steady, grounded presence to every client relationship. She has recently completed her New Zealand Level 5 Certificate in Real Estate, strengthening her understanding of local legislation, best practice, and client care. Real estate has long been part of Celéste’s world. She grew up in a family immersed in property, with her father spending over 30 years as a real estate agent and owner of his own franchise. From an early age, she was exposed to the realities of the industry — not just sales, but the importance of reputation, integrity, and long-term relationships. This foundation continues to shape the way she works today. Before relocating to New Zealand, Celéste spent over seven years building a successful real estate career in South Africa. One of her most meaningful experiences was supporting multiple generations of the same extended family through buying and selling — a journey that began with one first-home purchase and grew through years of referrals. This reinforced her understanding that real estate is rarely just about property, but about people, timing, and major life decisions. Since establishing herself in New Zealand, Celéste’s commitment to integrity and client care has been recognised with a Certificate of Excellence as Top Rising Star for the Central Region in her first year. Deeply connected to her local community, Celéste is an active member of She Is Unleashed, serves as Treasurer of the Kopeopeo Lions Club, is a member of the Eastern Bay of Plenty Chamber of Commerce, and volunteers with the Whakatāne Kiwi Trust — reflecting her belief in service, stewardship, and contributing meaningfully to both community and environment. Now part of the Arizto team, Celéste offers a transparent, tailored, and supportive real estate experience. She works closely with clients who may be feeling unsure or overwhelmed, taking the time to explain options clearly, remove pressure, and help them move forward with confidence — at their own pace. Above all, Celéste believes people deserve to feel informed, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout their property journey, and she is proud to walk alongside her clients through one of life’s most significant transitions.
