Testimonials

It was an absolute pleasure working with Maureen in the sale of my house. It is typically a stressful time, but Maureen made the whole process so smooth. She didn't miss a beat! Armed with an arsenal of knowledge, Maureen took care of every detail, which eased the pressure on me as the seller. She took the time to stage the house so beautifully (it almost made me want to stay!) Her creativity and resourcefulness know no bounds. Maureen's communications skills are equally phenomenal: she responds quickly, ensures she understands what the client wants and is comfortable with, and follows up efficiently with potential buyers. Offers for my house were set up flawlessly, and the next thing I knew, the house was sold! The best thing I could've done for myself was solicit Maureen's expert services, as she went above and beyond to ensure the entire process was easy and comfortable. She has my highest recommendation!

I just wanted to say thank you again so much for everything. We could not have done it without you!
You were absolutely outstanding at showing us homes that fit our needs, our wants, and our style. The fact that you answered our calls, texts and emails day or night, without delay was above and beyond our expectations.
This was a crazy time and market to buy a house, and you still were able to make our dream become a reality. There are really no words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.
A million thanks!

As a first-time homebuyer, Maureen helped me through the entire process, for quite a lengthy period I might add. She really understood my needs and wants. And she always had me in mind when she saw a house come on the market that would fit my needs. She was patient, kind, and a delight to work with throughout the entire process--which can be disheartening for buyers in a highly competitive market--but she was always positive, and we ended up finding a perfect home in an amazing location. I couldn't be happier. I have recommended Maureen to my friends, and I would recommend Maureen to any potential buyer or seller. She went above and beyond many times, from the start of the search right through to pointing me in the right direction when finding a real estate lawyer and a home inspector. Her communication, and explaining of things, throughout the process was also top notch. Maureen really cares about her clients, and she puts her clients' interests first. I look forward to working with Maureen again in the future.

Maureen made an overwhelming process seem easy. She was very informative, answering questions we didn’t even know we had.  She was quick to respond to all of our inquiries and very accommodating to our schedule.  We highly recommend her straightforward and transparent approach and look forward working with her again.

It was my first time working with Maureen, and my sister’s third time working with her. She helped us find an amazing investment condo in  downtown Ottawa. She took the time to understand our requirements and budget, and provided a lot of insight on current market value and the various neighborhoods in Ottawa. Not only did she assist us with the purchase, but she also assisted us in getting the condo renter ready, staging it, taking photographs, advertising it and securing a tenant. Working with Maureen made it a very smooth sailing process and we really appreciate all she has done. If given the chance, we look forward to working with Maureen again!  Rotbah and Rubama

We've been working with Maureen for over four years now - through two home purchases and renting out one of them - and we can't imagine a better person walking us through the process. She has always been forward thinking and never fails to offer sound advice when needed, specifically in terms of our rental and ensuring an always smooth transition between renters. We've been lucky to work with her and to now call her our friend.

Maureen -  Thank you for all your efforts over the last few months.  I understand that many of the tasks you accomplished (paying for leaf removal, chimney repairs, visiting on closing day, .....) go beyond the duties of a typical real estate agent.  And let's not forget the housewarming gift - which will be put to good use!!!  I can only conclude that during some of our extended conversations, I had mentioned that my quality of sleep could be better.  Well done!! -Paul

If you are looking for the ideal real estate agent in Ottawa, you need look no further than Maureen Yates. Her approach to her work is incomparable. As a first time home buyer, I was impressed by the genuine and personalized approach Maureen took to ensuring we would find a property that was no less than perfect. Her knowledge of the Ottawa condo/housing market is thorough and she worked endlessly with her team to walk me through each stage of the purchasing process in a way that made me feel heard, supported, and comfortable. I now have my perfect first "home" and I can't thank Maureen enough for that. She truly takes her clients' needs to heart and I can't sing her accolades enough. Not only is she a wonderful real estate agent, but she is equally a woman with character and kindness. Vanessa
