Delivering Results with Diligence, Clarity and Confidence

With nearly two decades of real estate experience and over 30 years as a proud Bay Area resident, I bring a high-touch, highly strategic approach to guiding clients through life’s biggest transitions—whether it’s a first purchase, a “next level” dream property, a divorce sale, or letting go of a longtime family home.

Fluent in Russian and holding a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, I’m known for my calm presence, steady guidance, and strong negotiation skills. I pride myself on connecting with people, reading the room, and leading with confidence. Whether I’m preparing a home for market to achieve top dollar or helping buyers uncover hidden potential in a property, I combine market insight with a personalized, results-driven strategy.

Beyond real estate, I’m passionate about community. I actively volunteer at my sons’ high school, support local initiatives, and love connecting people with trusted resources—earning me a reputation as the go-to person with the “little black book” of top vendors.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll often find me hiking local trails, hosting friends, enjoying cultural outings, keeping up with my two book clubs, or cheering on my three sons. Most of all, I love spending time with my large blended family and living the vibrant Peninsula lifestyle I’m proud to share with my clients.

Yvette went above and beyond to ensure a successful sale of our house, managing relationships across prospective buyers, other agents, stagers, photographers, contractors, even housekeepers. She communicated openly with us, handled things quickly and competently, and drove a higher sale price. A terrific marketer and negotiator, most of all we love working with Yvette and feel we have an advantage in the...

My experience with Yvette was nothing but positive! During this very difficult time of a divorce, when I could feel overwhelmed and alone, Yvette was able to support me and the process of selling my home in an incredibly kind, compassionate and understanding way. But most importantly, she knows her shit! I felt very confident in the strategy that she used and the follow through and clarity of options and...

— Erika S.

The level of client service that she provided is unparalleled. We felt that she was a true, engaged partner throughout our home buying experience in Los Altos Hills Yvette has made the home buying process a true pleasure for us – she is of the highest integrity, smart, personable, and a pleasure with which to work. In addition, she has deep knowledge of all of the local areas and neighborhoods and is ver...

Yvette, you were absolutely a gem to work with! Thank you so much. You were so well researched and always on point. You provided us with all the right direction to sell out house quickly and effectively. We really felt like you listened to our ideas and concerns while at the same time offering fantastic guidance and knowledge. Oh, and you seem to never sleep as your response time is always about 2 second...

I have to say that this is my second time using Yvette to purchase a home and she certainly did not disappoint! Her service level and professionalism are outstanding, and she truly wants to help you to find the right home for you and not just settle. As it’s a challenging home buying market, Yvette was so strategic in her approach, truly a ‘master’ negotiator, and did everything she could to help me get ...

Yvette, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart as you went above and beyond the call of duty with regards to selling my home. Being there were so many obstacles that you had to face, you never made me feel anything but that I was your top priority and I will never forget that.

— Lisa B.

Thank you so much for your guidance and expertise! We know we couldn’t have navigated this market without you. As our family grows in this home, we will always remember that you made it all possible. We look forward to working with you again in the future and will be sure to send our friends and family your way!

— Karley M.

All details were followed carefully, and in this first experience of ours, which very often causes excessive stress and anxiety, we encountered no major obstacles and the close went smoothly. She even helped us a great deal to settle in our new home, providing information about services, utilities, etc. We will recommend Yvette, in a heartbeat, to any friends or acquaintances who are looking for a real e...

— Daisy C.

I know we weren’t the highest offer, but Yvette’s relationship with the Realtors® involved and her presentation to the family ensured we got the house and finally, we have a place for our family to call home that we treasure. If you are looking for someone to help you find that perfect place you will not find someone better than Yvette. It is not just a job to her, it something in which she puts her hear...

— Jen A.

We were thoroughly impressed with the presentation of our home to the market. It was …flawless! Amidst the choppiest lending market and softest regional housing market since 2002, you managed to sell our home over asking price in 30 days from accepted offer. Although the points above are factual and “cut and dry”, undoubtedly the best part of the experience was the personal approach you took to making su...

— Nayna K.

We felt extremely well represented by Yvette during the bidding process. There were a dozen offers for our home, but she guided us to present a strong bid without overvaluing the property and skillfully managed the ensuing process. She actually suggested that we decrease our final offer from the amount we were willing to pay. That we won is a reflection of her negotiating skills; that she didn’t want us ...

— Gregory C.

We appreciated that she was more worried about finding us the right home than just finding us a house. Yvette was there for us every step of the way, helping us navigate the loan, ensuring that the seller made repairs that came out of inspection reports, and helping us close. It was so comforting having Yvette as our agent, we couldn’t have done it without her.

— Jessica C.

Yvette was always available and answered all our questions quickly via email/text/phone. Yvette is highly professional yet also incredibly personable and lovely to work with. Yvette is honest, reliable, intelligent, organized, efficient, and committed. We truly have only the highest regard for Yvette.
