What My ClientsSay

"Being located in Rhode Island, we have several clients who move out West to Seattle and the surrounding areas After interviewing several of our advisors in the E&V Seattle Shops, I chose to work with Yvonne. Yvonne has a genuine passion for helping her clients, deep market knowledge and the experience you want when working with a real estate advisor Thank you Yvonne, for taking care of my clients over the past couple of years!!"

- EMILIO DISPIRITO

"Yvonne was incredible when helping me buy my home. It took place over the holidays and she was still on the ball and responsive and kept the process moving so we could close quickly She made sure I had all the info I needed and even told me about things I didn? t know about such as a rate buy-down option to ask of the seller which made the first couple years have a lower payment for me. I can? t speak highly enough of her. She?s incredibly kind, hard working and brilliant She has now helped me and my brother buy our homes and helped my other brother sell his You will definitely get top rate service if you go with her "

- TINA KEZAR "

"We are beyond grateful for Yvonne Welty and all of the hard work and diligence she put into our water front property purchase As lifelong clients, Yvonne knew the exact type of property we were in the market for and once she found it she was not going to let it slip through our hands in this tough market! Yvonne?s constant communication with the listing agent, as well as her understanding of the current real estate market, was key in securing an accepted offer and an easy and successful contract negotiation She guided us through the unfamiliar world of inspections reports, numerous contracts, lenders and escrow agents. Yvonne was able to facilitate a cohesive relationship with all parties involved during the process, which alleviated our stress during a major property purchase By working with Yvonne we were able to purchase the legacy property of our dreams at the right price! Yvonne is a blessing and she has earned our business for life!"
