“The Houston Properties Team was an outstanding team to work with throughout our recent home buying experience, especially Yolanda Ames! My husband and I had a very particular set of criteria since we were looking for our forever home, so I know we weren’t the easiest clients to work with. Yolanda had tons of patience with us looking at home after home until we finally found “the one”. I would recommend Yolanda and her team to anyone looking to buy (or sell - that’s next on our to-do list!) a home or property in the Houston area. She’s a real estate ROCKSTAR!!” - Beverly Poulter (Google Review)
