Castellum is the latin word for "Castle", and that's exactly how we want our clients to regard their home. So, it's only natural that Castellum Realty strives to treat our customers like royalty. We often go above and beyond to help our clients. For example, a recent client called us to help her pack up and ship her belongings to various locations across the country, including a remote part of Alaska. Other clients have relied on us to arange and even supervise landscaping and other improvements when selling their home.

Castellum Realty LLC. is serious about ensuring our customers feel happy and cared for. "We're not about the one time deal" We keep in touch with our clients beyond the sale and give you honest advice from the beginning-a fact we state in writing and incorporate in our step by step guide for sellers, which includes pull-no-punches tips on setting an asking price, making the home more attractive to buyers and even what Castellum's business expenses will be. With this level of attention and respect, half of our clients are referrals.
