Testimonials
"After interviewing several real estate professionals, I chose Yolanda to represent an estate in the sale of both cabana #20 and apartment #1013. She was selected because she saw more value in the apartment than that expressed by the other agents. She was quick to realize how to decorate the apartment so that its best qualities were highlighted. She coordinated and selected the following: paint colors, floor stains, fixtures, and worked closely with the staging service. During the market preparation, Yolanda reported on progress and always requested my approval and input. She stayed within budget. Her marketing was aggressive, and she was present at showings and open houses. Yolanda sold the apartment herself within two and a half weeks, with a settlement within a month. She also sold the cabana for full price. She was professional, cooperative, and sensitive. Please be sure to meet with Yolanda M. Mamone regarding your real estate plans and needs."
- Christiane Sorel, Esq."Yolanda is, hands down, a fabulous real estate agent. She’s extremely experienced in the DC area and knows the condo market! We spent over a half hour on a hot August Sunday walking through the unit as she cheerfully explained its high points and the fabulous amenities of The Colonnade. I spent almost two hours with Yolanda, and I was sold. She assisted me in contacting a very reliable mortgage resource, and by Wednesday morning, I had made all financial applications. At no time was Yolanda unable to be contacted, even when she herself went on vacation. In closing, I cannot praise her enough for her attention to detail, her communication skills, and her market knowledge. You cannot go wrong!"
- Monette Melanson"My husband and I recently had the good fortune to work with Yolanda in connection with our purchase of a condominium unit in The Colonnade, and it was a pleasure from beginning to end. In addition to being a really lovely person, she was always responsive, prompt, professional in her approach, and good at finding solutions to bridge gaps between seller and buyer. She is excellent at what she does, and should I have the need for a real estate broker again, I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again."
- Vicki F."Yolanda was a pleasure to work with. She was very attentive, informative and helped make the process go very smoothly. I recommend her without hesitation"
- Homebuyer in Washington, D.C."From the moment I had reached out with a rental inquiry, Yolanda was extremely quick to reply and her grace and promptness never wavered. In less than 24hrs I was shown the property yet I never felt rushed while viewing or felt pressured to sign until I was confidently ready. In every area of the process, Yolanda was exceptional and her team was extremely efficient. I could not have been more pleased and will proudly refer Yolanda"

Personal touches i.e. fresh fruit display, fresh flowers quite imaginative. Also, and quite important, timely contact by text, email and cell phone. Highly organized pre-plan sessions with Yolanda and my family prior to the formalization of the contract. Pleased to note that Yolanda sought input from other experts in the field. Inspired confidence."
- James Kanski"Yolanda, I really appreciated your work as my real estate agent in the sale of my house and purchase of a new house. I was extremely impressed with your marketing skills. You did a data analysis of the market to assist in setting a good price for sale of my house, brought in an expert at your own expense to stage it, giving me two free hours of staging consultation, and you brought in an excellent photographer to photograph the house so every asset could be maximized. Your strategy worked perfectly - my house sold in three days. On the purchase side, you were extremely skilled as well. You took great initiative my sending out letters to homeowners in the area I wanted to buy, and in fact, found several options that were not even on the market. You were an excellent negotiator - again, you did market surveys to determine a fair price for the house. You had data to persuade the seller to sell under what they wanted. All in all, you were extremely responsive, resourceful and creative, and it was great working with you."
- Lisa Ross"Thanks to the marketing savvy and outstanding efforts of Yolanda Mamone my home was under contract in 4 days with multiple offers and over list price. Yolanda carefully evaluated my house in terms of market appeal to a variety of purchasers which included: Moving furniture, downsizing my belongings, some painting and power washing patio and entry steps; Furnishing and organizing my lower level to show its functionality; Incorporating games, toys, and even a scooter to entertain any children who might visit. She provided support throughout this huge undertaking, with people to move furniture, remove unwanted items, dispose of recyclables, move items in to be staged and even recommended terrific window washers. She prepared an impressive marketing campaign with an individual video of the home and of the neighborhood. Most importantly, she worked with me every step and negotiated an earlier settlement which saved me thousands of dollars. Her extensive technical expertise, professionalism and willingness to work on any matter, great or small, yielded excellent results for me."
- Carolin Crabbe"As my agent, Yolanda was very instrumental in helping me understand where the market was with the variables that I needed, and to come in with a sound offer for the selected purchase. Her negotiation was extremely deft despite other interest in the property. Further, she had an array of recommendations for various support services; I used the inspector and the title company that she recommended and was very happy with them. Finding the right home is an intimate life choice no matter how many times you make it, and with Yolanda the natural stress of such a transaction is greatly eased!"
- Virginia B."I have known Yolanda since 1979 when I hired her as a brand new real estate agent in Washington, DC. From the beginning of her career Yolanda showed an instinct for knowing the needs of her sellers and buyers. She has grown her successful career from this early stage through today, as both a successful agent and a successful manager. This melding of the two arts makes her particularly adept at helping those with real estate needs to successfully reach their goals. I highly recommend Yolanda for a successful, expedient real estate transaction."
- Peter Rucci"Yolanda is an absolutely amazing agent to work with. She listened to our needs, worked diligently to find the listing, and adjusted quickly whenever we modified our search. She guided us through the whole process, and was very communicative and prompt in responses. We were able to find our house, and quickly went through the negotiation without much problems, and closed in a very smooth process, all thanks to her expertise and help. We certainly will recommend her to our friends who are thinking of buying or selling a house, and will certainly enroll her to our team again in the future. Please feel free to contact us if there is any question."
- Shih-Chun Lin, MD, PhD"It was a very lucky day for me when a friend introduced me to Yolanda. She is wonderful to work with and really knows the neighborhood. My house went on the market on Friday and we closed offers on Monday. We had a number of good offers and received $40,000 more than we asked for. At the same time, Yolanda found me a fantastic condo and we paid less than the asking price. You can't beat the service she provides."
- Judith Kahn"Julie and I really believe the experience in selling the Irving street property was first class. I think you know that I've had a lot of buying and selling experience... You are the best!"
- Jim Edmunds"We are delighted and thrilled with our new home. We are so happy to be the new proud owners thanks to your caring assistance and great help. Embassy Park is a great place to live. Bill and I thank you so much for everything you did for us. You certainly were instrumental in making our dream come true. We were very fortunate to purchase our home and we could not be happier. Thank you again for all of your thoughtfulness and making what would normally have been a very stressful process, very understandable and manageable."
- Valeriya & Bill"It was a pleasure working with you on the rental of my home! Thank you for your sound advice on the painting and presentation of the house and its amenities in order to be attractive and of interest to a wide array of potential renters. I also really appreciate your working closely with the current tenants to show the house while minimizing the impact on their daily lives. Thank you also for managing the paperwork process resulting in a fully documented and signed contract within 5 days of a showing! Your communication along the way assured me that we would be successful within my desired timeframe. I couldn't be more satisfied and I am happy to highly recommend you and your colleagues at McEnearney Associates to landlords and tenants alike."
- Christine Hackett"Buying and selling real property is always a difficult proposition, but Yolanda is exceptional! Her professionalism, her "can do" attitude and her sunny personality made our transaction not only work but helped to make it more than a pleasant experience."
- Allen and Carol Klein"Yolanda M. Mamone has given me wonderful real estate help during the last half year of 2016. She successfully listed my apartment (which sold in 5 days) and sold me a new apartment. All of this has been done with dispatch, ethics, and professionalism. I highly recommend her."
