“Yolanda Ames with the Houston Properties Team has been nothing but an absolute pleasure working with. Having had less than stellar experiences with realtors before, Yolanda couldn’t be more of the opposite. She provided information that was helpful not only on the buying front but also the selling front down the line. Whenever something came up that she wasn’t positive about she used her resources to find the answer for me. I am thankful to have found an agent that shares the same commitment to excellence and beyond. This was my first home purchase and look forward to working with her continually down the line.” - Shah Islam (Google Review)
