Yvonne Carns

Yvonne is a great real estate agent. We listed our Rogers Park 2-​flat with her and so glad we did. She explains everything in detail and answers all your questions and concerns. The most important factor is she is present at ALL showings and also at the inspections, walk thru and any other time a buyer would come to our home. This really put us at ease as we weren’t comfortable with a key keeper being placed on our door. We also were still living in the building and Yvonne always contacted us prior to any showings to make sure it wasn’t an inconvenience to us. She makes herself available ²⁴⁄₇ either thru phone calls or via email. She has lived in Rogers Park for 12+ years and knows here stuff when it comes to this area. Her love for selling real estate comes thru with her knowledge, professionalism and drive. If you’re thinking about selling call Yvonne!

If a person who purchased a property for over 300,000 is not a real client, I don’t what a real client could be then. Yes, we purchased a property from this Realtor she was the selling agent and it was a nightmare to deal with her.

Yvonne helped us to find our first home this winter. We were very pleased with her throughout the process. We were particularly struck by her very calming, not «salesy» realism as we encountered the ups and downs of different properties we were looking at. She was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and helped educate us about everything that we needed to know. I’m not sure if we are high maintenance clients or not, but Yvonne definitely made herself available and even adjusted her travel plans to accommodate a last-​minute showing (of the property we ended up purchasing). She also wasn’t afraid to fight for us and got us a much better deal than we were expecting to get. We definitely would recommend her to friends and family because of her knowledge, poise, negotiation acumen, and the fact that it is really fun to drive around and look at properties with her. Yvonne also adheres to her professional code of ethics much more appropriately than other realtors. She worked really well with our mortgage broker and gave us great recommendations for other services we needed. Thanks Yvonne for helping us find the perfect first home for a great deal!

Yvonne has been my realtor for 6 years and counting. She helped me find my first place and is currently helping me sell that same place for a very nice profit. If you are someone who needs smoke blown up your behind, you may want to look elsewhere. If you want someone who will maximize the value of your home or who will help break down the extensive process in finding the right home, Yvonne is as good as it gets. She will sit down with you for as long as it takes to completely understand what you want, and she will go on as many visits as necessary until you find exactly what you want. If you are inexperienced (as I was when I began looking at real estate 6 years ago), she will inspect every home she visits with you and will make you aware of everything from evidence of past flood damage to the age of the appliances to evidence of pest problems. Again, if you want to hear that every home is perfect and that every house is your perfect house, then go find that money-​hungry agent… there are certainly enough out there. If you want honesty, transparency, and open communication in a very confusing market, Yvonne is your realtor.

I almost never write reviews, but I was so outraged that this merits an exception. What a rude woman, especially for being a real estate agent. Impossible to work with, completely unreasonable. Completely ruined my house hunting experience. Would give negative stars if possible

I met Yvonne at a local computer shop and eventually started talking about real estate.
Yvonne Carns is a very knowledgeable source of information, particularly in the Rogers Park and Evanston areas. She conducts her real estate services and property management with professionalism and genuine care.

Yvonne has been my r. a for the last 8 years. Each and every time I need something Yvonne is always there to give me top notch customer service.
We are now looking for a new home and like a true professional Yvonne is there to help me with my search. She answers phone calls and emails in a timely manner and always has my best interest at heart. She really specializes in the North Shore and Rogers Park area but she knows a lot about a lot of areas as well.
The best part about Yvonne is that she really listens to what we want. She knows what are deal breakers before she even shows us something. I have Yvonne on speed dial for friends as well. She is a must have in your contact list! No BS, honest truth. Love that in business these days.

My better half, Jacquelynn & I were about to make a scary transition by moving from Detroit to Chicago in a very short span of time. It was nerve racking because we didn’t know if it was possible to find a suitable home on such short notice. Yvonne was very helpful from the second she answered my initial call… We took the train out to Chicago to meet with Yvonne… extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. She took the time to answer all of our questions & did everything she could to accommodate our crazy time line. She showed us a handful of places based off our criteria. They were all very nice, but she saved the very best for last… long story short, had I called anyone else, we wouldn’t have this majestic, lake-​front condo & private beach. Needless to say, the end-​result is, ‘Extremely satisfied’.
Thanks Yvonne!
