We just purchased a home for our family in Petaluma. Yvette was very knowledgeable about the area and went above and beyond our expectations of her duties as an agent. We were placing a contingent offer, and we knew the market would be quite competitive. Thanks to Yvette, her experience in the industry, and her personal touch on the deal, we were very fortunate to have our offer accepted. We would certainly recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the area. Read More

We recently purchased a home in Petaluma, and we feel extremely fortunate to have worked closely with Yvette as our real estate agent. She is incredibly diligent, hardworking, trustworthy and knowledgeable about the Petaluma and North Bay housing market. Best of all, Yvette is an amazingly warm, genuine and thoughtful person who truly cared about helping us find the best possible house for our family's needs and budget. She consistently went above and beyond, keeping us apprised of unlisted houses about to come on the market, showing us a wide range of houses to help us get a better perspective and inform our decision-making, and coordinating closely with our mortgage broker throughout the process. My wife and I enthusiastically recommend Yvette to anyone looking to buy a home in Petaluma and the North Bay. You'll be hard-pressed to find another agent more dedicated, honest, helpful, thorough, well-connected and invested in your success than Yvette! Read More

Yvette was recommended to me from a longtime friend. My experience in working with her could not have been better. She recommended a house to me, I loved it. She made the purchase go through in record time. I look forward to working with Yvette and Compass in the future. Yvette rocks! Read More

Very positive! Yvette was very professional, easy to work with, a great listener (providing feedback as requested and needed), and very responsive to my timeline, price point, etc. Yvette knows both the real estate business and the needs of her clients. She helped negotiate the selling terms to included $ back for identified repairs. She also went above and beyond with support after the move. Read More

I am a first-time home buyer and I don't know what I would have done without Yvette. She was constantly making sure I was comfortable and was very patient with all of my many, many questions. She was consistently available to bring new listings to my attention, schedule viewings, prepare the necessary paperwork and so much more. Her combination of professionalism and enthusiasm made the whole experience amazing and I cannot say enough good things. I would highly recommend working with her! Read More

Yvette is wonderful! She is knowledgeable and experienced, not to mention hard working and caring. She gets that this is the biggest purchase of our lives, that the little things matter, and that it's not a house, it's our home! We moved from Washington and were told from some coworkers at my husband’s new job to call Yvette. From the moment we met her I knew she "got it". She was sweet and personable to our kids, and understanding when all of us needed to trek and see some houses together. Yvette was super sweet when one of my daughters lost a tooth at a house showing! Yvette helped us hone in on where we wanted to be, and saw house after house with us. I'm not lying, we saw over 60 houses in 2 months!! It was crazy. But she wasn't ever bothered by the continued looking, she was patient and kind. And by the 30th house or so she could tell too just by walking in if it was a possibility or not. Yvette was always reachable too, and if she had a day or time that had a conflict (twice it happened in our time) she was right on it and got another agent to help me. She always checked in and never made me feel like I was bothering her. We went through bidding and getting turned down on 3 houses before getting ours with Yvette. That was new to us. Even though we had bought two houses before, one in San Francisco, we hadn't ever had an offer turned down! It was a frustrating and humbling experience. But it shaped our path and here I sit in my new home today. Yvette is the best. If you are selling or buying, know that she "gets it", is experienced and patient, and really just the best agent out there! Call her today. Read More
