We could have not asked for more from Erica and her team! My fiancé and I were looking for our…read morefirst home and did not know where to begin the search or what to do to buy a home. Erica took the time to patiently and clearly talk us through the process, get to know us on a professional and person level, and made the entire experience simple and enjoyable for both of us. Erica was able to take our descriptions of a dream home and find us several great options right away, She was constantly there to support and made us feel incredibly comfortable expressing our opinions as we began to see homes throughout the city and identify features we liked and did not like. Erica was always - and I mean ALWAYS - available when we needed her and was willing to communicate with us in a format and cadence we felt comfortable with. She made the experience simple and enjoyable - removing a lot of the stress/pain points I had expected to encounter through her calming demeanor and constant support. Most importantly - Erica gave us great trust in her ability to find us a home and negotiate a deal that benefited us. When we found the home we were willing to purchase she was creative in her approach for offers and saved my fiancé and I thousands of dollars compared to what we originally thought we would have needed to offer and spend. She had an incredible knowledge of the city, and incredible knowledge of how to negotiate to get us a great deal, and an incredible willingness to fight for us as her client. I could not recommend anyone more highly and would encourage everyone to work with Erica as you work to buy or sell your next property!

She understood what we valued in our dream home and through the whole search/decision-making/purchase, Shannon was very patient with us and ensured that we were able to look at options that fit our requirements. And though we decided to pause our search for a few months, she continued to follow up without being pushy and stayed connected with/respectful to us through some decision changes that we made. With all that said, the aspect that I appreciate the most is Shannon's warm personality as by the end of the whole transaction, I and my family felt that we made a lifelong friendship/partnership with her.

I would never use Craig Ziegel again! I think he's a MCP, but just my impression. I called about a…read morehouse I found on Brown's website and he happened to be the agent who answered. I went and looked at the house, and it wasn't right, but he suggested some others. That was fine, and I called my husband to look at a couple of them. Once my husband was part of the package, Craig never said another word to me again. It was all man-to-man, and it was as if I didn't exist. It was clear that Craig saw me as the idiot little woman who couldn't manage financial decisions. Guess what, Craig? I've got a PhD and you probably have what, a GED? Another thing, I caught Craig in a number of LIES. Just straight out lies. For example: one home looked like it might be just outside city limits, and that was a concern only because we wanted city fire and police protection. I asked Craig if the house was *in* city limits or just outside because I couldn't quite tell on the map. He said he didn't know, but he was sure it was in city limits, then pretended to look it up (or maybe he looked at Google Maps, which was what I looked at), returned and said "Good news! It's in city limits." I just got a feeling that he wasn't being honest, so I called the city clerk and got the answer. it took all of three minutes, and the house was NOT in city limits. I never bothered telling him why we nixed that house. There were other blatant lies not worth going into. Small, but substantial when you're doing business of any kind. In the end, my husband and I had Craig finish the deal on another house, only because Craig had done the work and it would have been wrong to send it to another agent at that point. My husband also finished buying a couple of other properties. But we agree: Craig Ziegel is not honest, and my husband also saw quite clearly that once he showed up, I no longer existed as a person. I was simply arm candy.

And since I lived a 1000 miles away I needed a lot of feedback. I actually found Yolanda by using Yelp. It was definitely my day because Yolanda far exceeded all my expectations. She treated my property as though it were her own. I needed a lot of help and she was right there for me every step of the way. Yolanda negotiated lower contractor costs and shopped around for good deals on materials. And she always forwarded detailed receipts without me having to ask for them. I relied on Yolanda like a close friend and she always showed the highest integrity. The house sold when others were unable to sell their similar properties. I highly recommend her as a realtor!

I felt like she did not answer certain questions (perhaps she did not know, or was pre-occupied). However first impressions are everything and I truly almost went somewhere else, because of her.
