  • “I hired Yolanda from a remote location to sell my home in a 55+ neighborhood which has its own challenges. She has been an absolute delight to work with. She was on top of my listing from the first day. She made recommendations on things that would help my home to sell and she assisted in making many of those things happen. She held multiple open houses, communicated with my HOA, provided feedback in a timely manner, discussed the feedback with me to determine pricing adjustments along the way. I highly recommend Yolanda and her team at Houston Properties!!! You will not be disappointed if you choose them as your real estate agents.”

    She was always focused on what would be best for us and made sure we were considering all of the factors that could impact a home's resale value. She truly had our best interest at heart and spent many months with us to find our perfect home!

  • “I was referred to the Houston Properties Team by a trusted friend, and I could not be happier with my decision to take their recommendation! Yolanda and her entire team were professional, responsive, easy to communicate with, and were able to provide unbiased advice to a first-time homebuyer in desperate need of their guidance (me!). In the Houston real estate market I’ve learned that having attention to detail and the ability to move quickly are key to success and Yolanda and the Houston Properties Team have both. When I found my house I wanted to move quickly and Yolanda and her team didn’t miss a beat. Looking forward to working with Yolanda more in the future when I find myself returning to the real estate market. Thank you Houston Properties Team!!”

Listing to close on our home, buying and closing on our new home were done within 6 weeks. We were kept informed and updated the entire way. I liked that Yolanda supplied us time lines on all aspects of the selling and buying process. Her persistence kept the processes moving and seamless.”
