“Yolanda Ames is listed as a platinum agent and her service validates just that. She is kind, thorough, transparent, dependable, efficient, and did I mention thorough! I made the decision to move from NY to Tx and with Yolanda's help, was able to find an amazing residence, and close in a month. Her team (those from Houston Properties) and all her connections (from inspection SMEs to financial advisors) - mitigated the anxiety and overwhelming stress of purchasing a home. A year later, she still follows up and keeps me informed. If you have any inclination to move to the Houston area, reach out to Yolanda Ames. You will not regret it! Thanks Yolanda and Houston Properties!” - NNeka Wilson (Google Review)
