“It was such a pleasure to work with Yolanda Ames. She was the most professional and personable agent I have ever worked with. She recommended to sell my house at higher price range than 3 other agents I interviewed. As part of her services she brought an interior designer to help me stage the house to show case the best view for online viewers at no cost. She walked me through each step of the way until the end. I would not have sold my house at such short period of time and at higher price if it wasn't to Yolanda's details and market research. At the time of rising interest rates, selling a house in 9 days takes a miracle and Yolanda was my angel to make that happen. Her market research and listening to the potential buyers helped us price the house right and sell it fast. She cared about my house selling at the highest price and shortest time and all her effort in market research made that happen. It was an absolute pleasure to work with such a professional agent. If you work with her, you will never work with any other agent. It was my sincere pleasure to working with Yolanda!” - Saida Khan (Google Review)
