Cathy is amazing to work with. She helped me purchase my condo and years later when I needed to sell she was there for me again. Cathy is knowledgeable and more importantly caring. She supported me in every way throughout the process and I would recommend her to anyone in the Chicagoland area.

I cannot say enough positive things about Cathy Yanda. Aside from having a pleasant and sweet demeanour, Cathy really knows the Real Estate Market. She gave me autonomy in my decision making while at the same time advising, when asked, and explaining the current market. I was selling my house from another state and she gave great recommendation for getting the property ready and the whole process along the way. I closed today, hurray for me and a big Thank You to Cathy and her assistant Jessica.

I'm not sure we would have purchased a home in Oak Park without Cathy's guidance and assistance. She was an invaluable ally throughout every step of the process, making sure we saw a wide variety of homes and fully understood the costs and benefits of each. As first-time home buyers, we didn't know what all we needed to know or what all we needed to do -- but Cathy did. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be working with her again should we ever need to sell our home in Oak Park and/or buy another.

Cathy helped my family see a variety of homes in Oak Park and River Forest. After we purchased our house, she was very helpful in us finding out about an adjoining lots sale. When we started to look for a larger house, we chose to go with Cathy.
