Yolanda Carroll

★★★★★
"Excellent Agent for First-Time Homebuyers. I worked with Yolanda in the Fall of 2021 for the search and purchase of my first property. When you buy a home for the first time, you learn very quickly that having an agent who is connected, sharp, experienced, punctual, and respectful to others is absolutely critical for a smooth journey. Yolanda delivered every step of the way - from the first moment I shared my wishlist, to the day my new home was recorded. I had a positive experience working with Yolanda, so I thought I'd share a few remarks to help others in search of a competent agent and professional. These remarks also represent a few of the reasons why I would gladly do business with Yolanda again. I'll start by saying that I appreciated the time Yolanda took to explain clearly each step of the homebuying process. Her grace and care helped me swiftly build on my novice knowledge, and made me feel comfortable to ask questions and learn. Another point of importance was that Yolanda's network of trusted and fair tradespeople helped make steps like the inspection process very easy. Because of my busy job, I would not have had the time or bandwidth to find and vet each worker needed for a thorough, compliant, and fair-priced inspection. Being able to rely on Yolanda's expertise and network took the guesswork out of the process and truly made my life easier. Yolanda's team did honest work at a competitive - not higher - wage. I would gladly engage their services again. Lastly, I appreciated that Yolanda was looking out for me. From her explanations of key buyer protections, to the way she objectively lays out the pros and cons of various matters, Yolanda's approach helped me make smarter, more informed decisions. Thank you afresh, Yolanda, on a job so well done! Brava!  " - J. Hopkins

"Our past experiences in the field of real estate always left us wondering what real estate agents actually did to earn what seemed like substantial commissions.   That perception definitely changed when we entrusted Yolanda Carroll to sell our treasured home of over 44 years.   We had previously worked with Yolanda when she represented our family in the sale of our deceased mother's home.  She did an excellent job!  When we made the decision to sell our home, it was without hesitation, we chose Yolanda. Based on our previous interactions with Yolanda, we had high expectations. However, she even exceeded those!  Selling a house that you have lived in for decades can be stressful; doing it from across the country adds another layer of anxiety to the process. With Yolanda on-board,  there was no need to stress.  Everything that we weren't there to do, she took care of it. And, she did it with a reassuring calmness and grace.  She is prompt,  professional, and passionate. Many people do their jobs merely to collect a paycheck. You can tell when someone has a passion that goes beyond a paycheck. Yolanda genuinely cares about people and is committed to providing the best service possible.   That commitment is reflected in everything she does.  It is without hesitation that we recommend Yolanda Carroll for all of your real estate needs. Choosing her would be one of the best decisions that you will ever make! " - Royal and Fay Delery Jernigan

"Honestly, when we began our adventure for our new home we were torn between realtors. We were new to home buying and all over the place with what we wanted. At first, we had to have a fireplace, front porch, backyard, mother-in-law space, 2 bathrooms then 3 bathrooms, one bathroom had to be on the ground floor, stairs vs. no staircase, and 2 beds vs. 3 beds. Yolanda visited us and spent hours answering our questions, providing data on how long listings typically stay on the market, and tons of info on comps wherever we wanted to look. Notably, she educated us on how home ownership helped to build strong, stable communities and most importantly to build our own personal net worth. Suddenly we knew Yolanda was our number one because she considered our home- buying journey a partnership, which personalized the experience for us. We were so fortunate to have Yolanda. For the several months she partnered with us as our realtor she made it an exceptional experience. First, Yolanda was always reliable, a consummate professional, organized and well dressed. Every time we viewed a new property she was very knowledgeable by helping us look for signs of problems, commenting on the quality of construction, finish, appliances, etc. Yolanda also led us through rounds of negotiation to get a price to match our comfort. In the end we purchased a 4bedx4bath new build with stairs and no mother-in-law. We are so very pleased. And you know the best part of our partnership with Yolanda she always focused more on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding a home that we loved, than she was on closing the deal. We would recommend her to everyone. " - Dean and Johnson

"I would like to strongly recommend Yolanda Carroll as a Real Estate Broker. I have personally been involved in over 20 real estate transactions and she is the best I have ever worked with. She is knowledgeable about the industry, she makes outstanding recommendations throughout the process, she can be trusted to do everything she thinks is necessary and she can make the experience a lot of fun while she is leading the selling of your home. We were lucky that Yolanda was driving by when we were clearing out our home. She introduced herself and offered to help sell the home. We were obviously skeptical at first. We were immediately impressed by her knowledge of the selling process. She did the research quickly and made a recommendation on the price which we accepted. Yolanda put together a list of what should be done. She then had recommendations on who could do the work and she made sure that she would cover letting the workers in if we weren’t there. He contractors were prompt, skillful and competitively priced. We were appropriately updated at every step. She communicated as often as necessary and seemed to always respond back within minutes regardless of time of day. She earned my trust and never let me down. Selling a house can be stressful but she made the experience seem effortless. In my opinion, you should hire her and you won’t be sorry. " - Lou Delery and The Delery Family Trust

"Yolanda made it happened! Stuck between the house I could actually qualify for and the house I wanted. I met Yolanda with a bag full of denials from mortgage companies and realtors, and a few internal doubts. We were instantly friends, she kept it honest and realistic, and she said she would try. And that’s all I needed. She is honestly the best realtor I have ever met. We closed on my dream house and she stood on the front line with me, every step of the way. Thank you. Your Friend" - Eric C.

Yolanda listened intently to our wants, set realistic expectations, carved out the rules, and welcomed us on the joyride of our lives! This process was supposed to be so stressful, but not with Yolanda! Her pleasant demeanor, professionalism, and positive energy kept us engaged the entire time. There wasn’t a question we couldn’t ask, and there wasn’t a time when she didn’t make herself available. It’s clear, Yolanda was born for this, as this level of commitment and service is SUPERIOR!!!" - Debra

"Our journey to becoming homeowners was going slow until we connected with Yolanda. We went from apartment living to owning our first home in a little over a month. From our first meeting to getting our keys, Yolanda was there to answer our every question. Her knowledge and dedication to finding us our new home made the process as stress free as home buying can be. Thank you “The Collective” and Yolanda for making our homeownership a reality! " - T’Pre
