Great negotiator and knows the process very well!
Caron Yates was fantastic to work with from start to finish. She always made herself available and was very responsive when I had questions or needed anything at all. She is a great negotiator and knows the process very well. Caron was able to find the perfect home for me and she negotiated the price to where I was very happy. I would highly recommend Caron to anyone looking at buying or selling their home!

Selling a house is always stressful but Clay was able to guide me through the process and answer all my questions (even ones I hadn't thought of yet). My house sold in 5 days and I could not have been happier. Thanks, Clay!
