My wife and I recently purchased a property in the Lakeview neighborhood after looking for almost two years. Yogi Yedlin was our agent during this time and we could not have been happier throughout the process with him. There are a number of reasons why we feel this way and would like to share them with you. Both my wife and I owned condominiums in the Lakeview neighborhood and were looking to upgrade to more space since we just got married. With the advent of a lot of new websites in the real estate market the process of finding a new agent came to us this time instead of us having to look for one. Of all the websites that we looked at, DreamTown. com was one of the best out there for looking for a home in our opinion. On one particular day we had made two appointments with two different agents out of frustration. Our second appointment that day turned out much better than we anticipated. This second appointment was with Yogi. Within the first couple minutes of talking with Yogi I knew that he was different than all the previous agents we had worked with. We truly appreciated this attention to detail as it really gave us a new perspective on how to look for a home. Another trait of Yogi's that became evident over time was patience. We were very close to making a decision and Yogi did not pressure us, but gave us a list of things to think about that were important. At this point we told Yogi that we would get back to him in a couple months as we were putting out search on hold. A few months later we were back out searching for properties. This time we had a different set of criteria. This is where I have no idea how Yogi kept his patience. We decided that we could move to the next property level by bringing my wife's sister and husband in the mix. On top of that, since their family is close knit, Yogi now had to deal with six people as my wife's parents were now coming along to look at properties. After a couple months we put an offer in on a place. However, everything fell apart prior to coming to a decision about the place. We had an inspection which Yogi came to and helped us through which was great. In the end, after many negotiations and discussions this deal fell through. We were determined to not strike out with our third attempt. This time my wife's sister was out of the picture and it was back to just the two of us and again the criteria changed. In the end, we found the place that suits us best and we could not be happier. Yogi did a great job of meeting our expectations and working with us to get the best purchase price. After having lived in our home for a few months we could not be happier. All the credit goes to Yogi for this because it was his professionalism, patience and understanding of our changing needs that made this a very pleasant experience. My wife and I kept changing the rules of the game along the way and Yogi stepped up each time with a great attitude and a willingness to work with us that I wish I could find in other professional aspects of my life. My wife and I would (and will) happily recommend Yogi in the future to anyone we know looking to buy and sell a home. Beth & Stephen Statkus, Lakeview
