Homes By Mink Real Estate

Yvonne is a dedicated and committed agent. She is a great listener who will do her best

to understand your needs and work with you and for you. Her past years of negotiating

successful sales transactions have given her the necessary experience to deal with large

real estate transactions.

 Yvonne very capably guided us through every phase of our home-selling process: evaluating work that might be necessary to prepare the house, staging the property (inside and out), assessing recent comps to ensure proper valuation and listing price, showing the house, and negotiating the final deal and ensuring we made it to close. Through it all, Yvonne was professional, communicative, timely, and present. We felt she was with us every step of the way - listening to our concerns, reassuring us, and coming up with creative and clever solutions to issues as they arose. Yvonne is experienced, motivated, empathetic, and honest. We really appreciate that she had our best interest in mind and made sure all parties were treated fairly and equitably.

 Yvonne helped us find our new home and was absolutely the best! She was friendly, trustworthy, knowledgeable, experienced, candid and open - we couldn’t have asked for a better partner in our home buying experience. 

The experience was so good we almost would buy another house just to continue connecting! I cannot recommend her higher than 10 but would if I could - I highly recommend Yvonne.

~Ian and Allison C.

 I cannot say thank you enough for all that you did for us. You went so far above

and beyond as well as made an emotional sale go as smoothly as possible. You

have truly found a passion for your job - and it shows.

Yvonne has been a very patient and caring professional throughout the process.

She helped us hone in on a location in East Bay which made sense financially,

location wise, and with good schools. She has been very wonderful while we sold

our house in the Peninsula and then purchased our new house. She has been

engaged with every aspect from bidding, through negotiations, and inspections.

She has secured and monitored all necessary resources in a timely manner and has

explained every step to us. We could not be happier with another agent.

 We are very grateful for all your help throughout the home buying process. Your

exceptional professionalism and quick responsiveness made the process a lot

easier.

~Karla and Christian G.

We patiently searched for our forever home for 3 1/2 years that had to meet

several criteria.  We met Yvonne through one of the hundreds

of open houses we visited and the one thing I vividly remembered about that encounter was she was not like your typical agent who is pushy and over-prying, just to get your

business. When we finally found the house, Yvonne was instrumental in the buying of our new home and the selling of our old home. What could have been an extremely chaotic

and stressful transition was anything but that because of her. Yvonne was strong in her

negotiating skills, thorough with every step of the process and most importantly, always one step ahead of the game. We

really felt like she was part of our family and really cared for us.  We feel very fortunate to have met her and she has become the beloved

Aunty Yvonne of our three kids.

~Jen and Fred L.

As first time buyers, the anticipation of home buying process was stressful and daunting. I am happy to share that our home buying experience was enjoyable and relatively stress free. I credit a lot of this to Yvonne’s dedication and personal touch. We were referred to Yvonne by a colleague of mine. Right from the get go, she wanted to understand our needs and showed us properties that she knew we would like. She was always prepared with a comp analysis and would help us make an informed decision about the offer in the ever dynamic Bay Area market. We were able to work out a fantastic deal on a beautiful house in one of hour target neighbourhoods. I’m very certain we asked a million questions throughout the process but she provided unbiased information and support throughout. We had been working with a lender of our choice and the deal fell through after our offer was accepted. She jumped right in and went into problem solving mode. She referred us to a lender who worked with us and closed our deal within the construct of the contract. Not only did she help solve the issue, she actually got us a better deal with this lender. Looking back at the home buying experience, we are so grateful to Yvonne for making this process so seamless and enjoyable. If we were to look again, Yvonne will be our agent for sure.

Yvonne is extremely knowledgeable about the market.  She is patient, a great communicator, and is flexible, always trying her best to accommodate busy schedules.  She answers questions (texts, calls and emails)  with accuracy and promptness.  She is a trusted advisor and a  strong negotiator.  As a  first time home buyer, in a very hot market, Yvonne took the time to explain the process every step of the way.   She made my home purchase simple and successful.  She is kind, honest and her clients best interest is always her utmost priority.   You can rest assured you are in the best hands if you have Yvonne as your realtor.

Over the past decade plus, I have had the opportunity and honor to work with Yvonne.

In addition to hard-working and attentiveness to her customers/clients, she is smart,

focused and forward-thinking. She has great integrity - no small matter in sales and

customer service. Our long term relationship has been based on trusting Yvonne and

her opinions.

She is also a local girl, raising two very fine “kids” here in the bay area. And that is,

perhaps, an even greater ‘job’ success.

~Beth F.

Yvonne’s professionalism and ability to put together a strategic plan from start

to finish is unmatched. I have personally worked with Yvonne for many years and

would choose her to be my team mate every time. She is a person who gets the

job done!

~Mary B.

I have only the highest recommendation for Yvonne Mink! She is smart, honest,

professional, personable, detail-oriented, and one of the most dedicated

individuals I have ever met. She will always do the right thing for her clients, and

her strong work ethic ensures that all your needs will be met. I can’t say enough

positive things about Yvonne -- she’s simply the best!
