Isil Yildiz is dedicated to helping clients achieve their real estate goals through exceptional and seamless experience. Isil is with her clients every step of the way to formulate the best strategy and alleviate the stresses associated with a complex and consequential transaction. Isil, a former litigator, is a fierce advocate and negotiator, and has become a recognized expert in New York City real estate, frequently invited to speak at home-buying seminars hosted by private companies, lenders, and advisory firms.

Originally from Turkey, Isil moved to Texas at age 10 with her family, but always dreamed of someday living in New York. After earning a BA in Political Science from Yale University and a law degree from The University of Texas, Isil moved to her dream city to practice law. After six years as a litigator, Isil left the law to help people make their homes in her adopted city and guide them through the most important purchase (or very consequential sale) of their lives.

Isabel Yerkes is the team’s data whiz and was instrumental in shaping the team’s approach to data analysis and marketing systems. A native of Northern California, Isabel moved to New York City to attend Columbia University and has been a New Yorker ever since. She has lived all over the city and has a passion for working closely with clients to find them the perfect home. Isabel is a former fitness instructor who taught at SoulCycle for many years, and her dedication to health and wellness continues to be an important part of her life.

"Isil first impressed me because of her genuine interest in and ability to discuss the real estate market and trends in different neighborhoods, and she kept impressing me with her attention to detail, consistent follow-up and availability to move the process diligently along." - Katherine, buyer of a Hamilton Heights co-op

"I had a wonderful experience working with Isil and her team selling my home in the East Village. Their work was fast, focused, and thorough. I always felt in the loop and empowered throughout the process. I've recommended her to several friends since, and would do so for anyone looking to have a successful real estate transaction in New York." - Maha, a repeat client who moved from Manhattan to Prospect Lefferts Gardens

"Isil walked us through every step of the home buying process and consistently offered creative suggestions and advice. It's not easy these days to buy an apartment in Brooklyn, but Isil really helped guide us through it all. She really knows the market and understands how to make a deal. Isil also has an extensive network (mortgage agents, lawyers, architects, etc.) who are pros and were of great help to us. We cannot recommend her highly enough." - David & Sarah, the new owners of a beautiful Park Slope condo

"We had a wonderful experience working with Isil. She is very knowledgeable and always accessible to her client. She kept us informed throughout the whole process. We are looking forward to working with her in our next real estate endeavor." - Qiao, seller of a Morningside Heights condop and purchaser of a condo in Astoria
