“Maureen does not fall in what I regard to be the standard category of real estate agent, finding houses and showing them. Maureen took an extraordinary situation involving many dwellings and many participants and worked tirelessly to conclude an arrangement that ensured everyone got what they wanted and walked away happy. She is an extraordinary woman.”

I was looking for a Real Estate Agent and Maureen Yates came highly recommended. My experience with Maureen proved those recommendations were quite accurate. Maureen is very professional, efficient, quick to respond and very pleasant. I had conversations with Maureen and found  her to be a very honest person.  I would call on her again.

Thanks again Maureen!

As a first time home (condo!) buyer it was so important for me to work with someone who would take the time to walk me through the process and who wouldn’t rush me, since I really like to take my time to figure things out! Maureen was incredibly patient and understanding, and she really challenged me to look beyond what I thought I wanted and to find something that would make me happy every time I opened the front door. I’m so happy to have worked with her and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a home (and I do!).

Maureen was extremely generous with her time and expertise during our months of home hunting. She connected us with an incredibly thorough home inspector and saved us from committing to a couple of houses with structural issues. Her patience paid off and we found a home that fit our needs perfectly in a neighbourhood we love.

Who would show you homes for 11 months? Maureen was kind enough to spend all this time with us to make sure that we found the right place. Her dedication, patience and willingness to answer all of our questions helped us find the right home. We can’t thank her enough and we highly recommend Maureen Yates!

Maureen was a pleasure to have as our real estate agent. We were new to Ottawa and had no idea about where to start. Maureen took her time in helping us review different neighborhoods, helping us first learn about Ottawa and its neighborhoods. She was incredibly flexible as she took her time to help us look a wide selection of houses before we finally selected the home we live in today. She gave us time in the evenings and on weekends so that we didn’t have to adjust our own work hours. Maureen is also incredibly patient – she answered our numerous (and sometimes repetitive!) questions promptly whether it be over phone or email. When we needed expert opinions – she found the experts for us so that we were able to make informed decisions, right from the very beginning and even after we had moved to our home. The way Maureen supported us not only demonstrates her excellent skills as a real estate agent but also her dedication and kindness as an individual. Thank you Maureen in helping us make Ottawa our home!

Thank you very much Maureen for everything. It's been a great experience working with you.  I will certainly refer you to anyone who will require your expertise.

I was referred to Maureen by a friend when I was just starting to get serious about buying my first house. Maureen took the time to sit down with me and get to know my wants and needs when it came to my first home, and she quickly arranged viewings of a wide variety of places within my budget, which helped further narrow down what I was looking for. She happily took me back to places I wanted to see again on short notice, and responded to my texts and emails at all hours of the day. She deftly read my reactions to places that weren't quite right (or not right at all), and made sure we didn't waste time on lost causes. I really felt that Maureen understood me and my vision for my first home. I never felt pressured or rushed, and she had a great way of asking the right questions to really get to the heart of an issue. When I decided to put an offer in on the home I ended up purchasing, she was on the phone with me, and back and forth with the sellers' team, until past midnight, making sure I understood what was happening at every step. When it came down to it, Maureen always had my back and did everything she could to make buying my first home the best (and easiest) experience it could be. It's clear that Maureen cares deeply about her clients, and I'm so happy to have had her on my side when I was taking such a big step in my life!
