"Vonnie is a real industry pro and handled multiple transactions for me with great knowledge of the area and industry. She's incredibly responsive and has the foresight to see around corners to defuse potential problems early, and handles the sometimes overly dramatic parties involved with calm and diplomacy. She is a huge value add to the process. My first transaction was an off-market buy of a home that was perfect for me and that I could never have found on my own. It really exemplified the knowledge she had in the market and the property, in an area that wasn't even on my target list. She listened and provided great suggestions that I gained exposure to broader opportunities as a result. Our last transaction involved high complexity with multiple sellers in an estate, many of who couldn't agree on the direction, with a difficult and overly lawyered trustee. It also had title and zoning challenges all that had to be worked thru on this multi-parcel coastal property that had been marketed for 9+ years. She remained steadfast in order to get a deal closed when others most certainly would have quit. She was a great resource, providing inspectors, consultants, subcontractors, and other professionals in a very short diligence timeframe in order to mitigate risk and give me assurance to close."

"Yvonne is truly one of the best "Realtors®" we've encountered. I joke about how I think we were probably her longest client. It took many years from when we first started with Yvonne for my husband to find the perfect vacation home in San Diego.

"Yvonne is truly one of the best "Realtors®" we've encountered. I joke about how I think we were probably her longest client. It took many years from when we first started with Yvonne for my husband to find the perfect vacation home in San Diego. Most Realtors® would have given up but Yvonne treated us with the same respect, work ethic, and professionalism from the first day to the final day. Over this time period, Yvonne continued to send my husband listings, and take him on numerous showings year after year several times a year, and all with such a positive and hardworking attitude. What I think that stands out most to us about Yvonne is her professionalism, classy attitude, and work ethic. It seems like so many people nowadays think that things should just fall into their lap and they have this entitlement attitude. This is definitely not Yvonne. Yvonne comes from a sales perceptive of working hard and treating your clients/people with the utmost respect. In the real estate industry, I feel this type of attitude and hard work ethic is definitely lacking. Yvonne stands out from the "stereotypical" Realtors® and that is why we trust her and we will buy and sell all of our property purchases business or personal with her."

"Yvonne was extremely helpful throughout my home-buying experience. She exceeded my expectations insofar as ease of communication, availability, and knowledge in all areas relevant to my home purchase. She is consistently upbeat and positive while remaining realistic and pragmatic. I never had any reason to doubt her judgment when assessing potential properties, financing, or any other aspect of my home purchase. For instance, Yvonne was more than willing to go out of her way to expedite the process of coordinating communication between absentee owners and a seemingly endless host of contractors, escrow people, and others that were part of the purchase process. In short, it would be hard to imagine a more pleasant home-buying experience than the one Yvonne made happen. I highly recommend Yvonne Mellon."

"Yvonne is everything you expect and hopes your agent to be when you are selling your property. Beginning with the listing interview to the last closing signature, she, expertly guided us each step of the way through the entire process. (There is a mountain of documents to complete when selling a home in CA). She was there for every show, and inspection, and, I'm sure so many behind-the-scenes particulars that I'm not aware of, that make it all seem effortless I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an agent with years of experience in the local market, an agent with integrity and an agent that defines the meaning of professionalism."
