Excellent listener. Paid attention to my needs. Narrowed the search to those needs and my intended county. I was well and still am, well pleased. I recommend her to co-workers and even strangers that I've come across.

Yolanda was my realtor 2 years ago. I was looking for a home for my daughter, mother at me. She was extremely patient with me and my numerous must haves. Yolanda was diligent in helping me to find a home in my price range and preferred location. I explained all of my credit issues to her and she helped to find the perfect lender. Yolanda is professional and puts her customer first and was a pleasure to work with.

Yolanda is professional, knowledgeable and great in keeping you informed about the proceedings. She has been excellent in meeting with contractors and others at property as the owner is out of town. She returns phone calls promptly and has been excellent at marketing the property. I highly recommend her as an agent
