If you’re in the market for a new home and looking for a realtor who is highly efficient, organized, resourceful, and knowledgeable about the real estate industry, Yasmin Fues is your go to realtor of choice, hands down. I loosely began my quest for a new home in Ottawa well over a year ago, and through my random web search for a realtor I came across Yasmin, something resonated in me to contact her after reading her professional profile. Despite not knowing if/when I would relocate to this city, and there was no promise of a home purchase in the horizons, throughout the year, this working relationship grew organically where Yasmin took the time to connect with me on an ongoing basis. She provided me answers promptly to questions I had about the unpredictable real estate market and backed it up by strong market research to educate me, she maintained her due diligence, patience, and came to understood quickly and exactly what my real estate needs were. What really stood out for me with Yasmin, which was a key factor in why Yasmin was the right choice as my realtor was that she didn’t pressure or rush me to make any decisions, and recognized that I needed to find the right place that I would love for years to come, she recognized that buying a new home is a huge life investment. In my past home purchases and/or home search experiences I came across realtors who were just in it to make a quick sale and were not really interested in build a long lasting working relationship with their client, do their homework or put the energy and effort to truly understand my needs in a new home. Most recently, I happened to land a permanent job in Ottawa where I was pressed to re-locate and secure a new home within a very tight timeline. Yasmin and I connected and she worked within a five day period to line up as many showings as possible. She booked off her whole schedule and was so hospitable (from being concerned about my transportation to scheduling convenient meet up points). The first in person meeting was impressive, we met at the Royal Le Page Realty, Manotick office. She presented a great level of exuberance and radiated such a warm, welcoming, and positive energy. Yasmin had a binder prepared for me, discussed an action plan, and ranked prospective new homes by interest/needs. We saw various resale and new home builds. She is very intuitive and recognized when something just didn’t sit right for me when seeing a home. She practiced the same diligence as I feel she would have if she was buying a home for herself and was confident we would find the right home for me. Yasmin swiftly adapted the strategy for new home showings as the search evolved. I brought my parents along for showings and she so eloquently juggled our different personalities with varying questions. During my house hunting week, I saw an individual who is passionate, so hardworking (worked after hours), kept going non-stop with showings and was relentless to get me my new home, which she did. I got aligned with a new Tartan Home which has been a great builder to deal with as well thus far. Above my home search, Yasmin provided recommendations for reputable trades contractors, and ran around with me to see a vendor for home upgrades. She went above and beyond my expectations. I can’t say enough about Yasmin and thank her so very much, she is truly a gem in Ottawa’s real estate industry. Behind this realtor persona is a great person who is personable, genuine, honest, has your best interests at heart, will secure you the best deal, and give you a great home buying experience. Thank you Yasmin!
