Yvette Stafford, Mountain Area Nest Realty

My wife and I first reached out to Yvette a few years ago when we were looking at properties in Nelson County. She showed us several places, though we didn't end up buying anything at that time. But we came away with a very good impression — she was straightforward, easy to talk to, and never made us feel like she was pushing us toward a decision. When we found a property we liked a few years later, we reached back out to her. She had a solid understanding of the area, knew the other realtors and parties involved, and gave us good negotiating guidance without overselling what was realistic. She made the process run smoothly and successfully. And as a Nelson County local, she had many useful tips on land management, local businesses and other resources that we will use. We'd recommend her

Working with Yvette was an absolute joy. We had so much fun looking at properties together that I was sad when we said goodbye after closing on my lovely new home. She was Never pushy or in any hurry for me to settle on a property and even recommended against one I was deliberating over. She respected that I had very particular wants and was willing to drive all over creation with me looking at some pretty unusual places. When it came to closing, she looked over the paperwork very carefully and found two mistakes that saved me several thousand dollars! I would recommend Yvette to anyone.

Yvette was a pleasure to work with on the sale of our 62-acre property. She did a remarkable job of advising us in preparing for listing, listing and marketing, and coordinating several open houses and eighteen prospective buyer showings. She was always extremely organized, followed up on every detail and proactively communicated with us. She had other listings but always made us feel like we were her top priority. We had a great selling experience with Yvette and NEST Realty and highly recommend them.

We’ve worked with Yvette twice, once to buy a property in Wintergreen and years later to sell it. Both times, she was outstanding. On the buying side, she went above and beyond. She even drove up the mountain at the beginning of a snowstorm to record a detailed walkthrough video for us without being asked. She showed us everything, down to schlepping through snow and mud to look at the HVAC compressor. She guided us through the process step by step and stayed in touch after closing as we considered other properties. When it came time to sell, she made it fast and painless. She lined up multiple realtors to bring buyers through, marketed it well, and sold our place quicker and for more money than we expected, even in a buyer’s market. Yvette is proactive, knowledgeable about the Wintergr

Yvette is so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable of the real estate market in Central VA. She took the time to get to know us as clients and helped us to find our perfect starter home. She was attentive to our needs and always made time to meet up with us anytime we reached out for help. In addition, she has great connections in the area for other aspects of the home buying process - loan agents, closing agents, home repair services, you name it. We highly recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat.
