The Elevate Real Estate Team is terrific! My agent Karley Kellestine is fantastic! She helped me find the home of my dreams in one day. She’s so dedicated and professional. Karley really listened to me and understood the type of home I was looking for. She certainly never wasted my time and was right there to guide me along. Karley sent me oodles of appropriate homes to look at online. She even drove me to the homes I wanted to see. Be it communicating in person or online, Karley got the job done! I highly recommend you deal with The Elevate Real Estate Team! Whether you are buying or selling a home, doesn’t matter. Deal with these professionals. I am thrilled, honestly!

Karley is a ray of sunshine! She had our house sold faster then we could’ve ever guessed and help us buy our dream retirement home! Someone above knew we needed someone special and sent us Karley and her team! If you want your house sold quickly or are looking for your dream home Karley and her team are who you need!!

Thank you Elevate Team for helping us find a beautiful home. We highly recommend Elevate for your house hunting. Daniele was our agent and she was very patient and always available for showing houses, even on short notice. She understood our expectations very well and planned the house search accordingly which helped a lot in our search.

This would be the second time we sold our house and the third time I bought – but this time I was buying on my own.  Our house sold within a week but my purchase took much more work – multiple viewings and I was having financing difficulties.  Rob was instrumental in putting me in touch with a mortgage broker which allowed me to secure a mortgage for the home that my daughter and I had fallen in love with and is perfect for us.  Rob always responded quickly and professionally and when time was of the essence, he drove out of his way to meet me so I could sign the paperwork – even while he was in the midst of moving himself and becoming a new dad to twins!  He was committed to helping me find the right home and the right mortgage and I am forever grateful.  I don’t plan on moving again, but if I do, I will definitely be contacting Rob!  Thank you for everything!

We can’t thank Daniele enough for all she did! She got our house sold quickly. We appreciated all of her advice and guidance leading up to the sale, it definitely helped us to get more than we thought we could for our house. From the storage container to the professional cleaning and the excellent photography and videos you guys go above and beyond. We will definitely be recommending Elevate Real Estate to anyone wanting to buy/sell their home.

After interviewing three Real Estate Agents to handle the sale of my late parents home, I selected Daniele Dunlop-Yeo. She was very through when she initially toured and inspected the home and she presented a schedule of events that would need to take place before the home was to be listed on the market. In addition to being professional, knowledgeable and friendly, Daniele was caring and put me at ease since this process was during a difficult time. Daniele had told us that she was always available for any questions or advice that we would need her for, and yes indeed she was. She remained in contact with us on a daily basis, sometimes numerous times a day providing advice, answering questions as well as providing support. If Daniele was not able to provide an answer immediately, she always got back to us the same day with the answers to our questions. I feel this is not just a career for Daniele, it is so much more. Daniele cares for her clients and makes sure that her clients are comfortable through the entire process. Not only would I recommend Daniele Dunlop-Yeo to everyone, but I would hire Daniele again in a heartbeat. She is what everyone needs in a Real Estate Agent. I cannot thank Daniele enough for all of her hard work, attention to details, professionalism, care and compassion.

My wife and I had a very complicated move to sort, as we were emigrating from Scotland and Karley actually came recommended to us from another agent that didn’t work in this area. I can honestly say that she has been helpful, communicative and totally transparent with us the whole way through and changed the moving process for us from one of dread to an absolute joy. She worked diligently on our behalf, was available for a chat and a call whenever we needed and thoroughly examined and explained every part of the process; no small feat when dealing with people who are completely new to the country. I can honestly say that I will be recommending her, by name, to anyone who needs to work through the moving process in the area. She not only deserves a sign in the Sarnia Sting hockey arena, but a whole section of the stadium named after her! We know anyone who uses her, will be absolutely cared for in every eventuality. In short, work with Karley whenever you can!

When I started getting serious about purchasing my first home, I had absolutely no game plan. I simply found houses that appealed to me on an online directory and direct messaged whoever the listing agent on that particular property was. That is how my journey with Rob Yeo began. I found a home online that appeared to have everything I was hoping for; I sent the listing agent a direct message and met him later in the week for a scheduled viewing. While that particular home was not the right fit for me, I am so glad I scheduled that showing because it introduced me to what is now known as the best realtor I could have ever hoped to cross paths with. I am self-admittedly hard to please, with a long list of demands that came with next to no wiggle room. After my initial meeting with Rob at that first viewing I knew I couldn’t let him get away. He took the time to educate me, understand my personal wants and needs,  he got to know myself and some of my family members, and took the time to establish a relationship with us that made us all feel at peace; comfortable, and like we were indefinitely in good hands. Rob was my realtor for what I assume he and I would both agree now felt like forever, and he willingly took me house to house and never wavered in his confidence to find me exactly what I was looking for. If my spirits were down, he lifted them. If you are searching for someone that will listen to your needs and concerns, that will instill a sense of trust and confidence in you, and will go to bat for you when the time comes, this is your guy! Rob and I faced many of the issues that buyers often face in the real estate market; falsely advertised homes, a few let downs, and finally bidding wars. Rob stood his ground and got the job done on multiple occasions and ultimately found me a home that was more than I could ever dream of and I owe it all to his hard work, dedication, and passion for his line of work. From the moment I met Rob I could tell that he genuinely wanted to see me happy and find me a place to call home. I can never properly repay or thank Rob for everything he has done for me and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell their home! Thank you Yeo Real Estate Group, you will be highly recommended for all the years to come.

I have had the pleasure to buy and sell properties through Daniele Dunlop Yeo. Daniele was always pleasant and readily available when in need. She was never in a hurry to discuss matters. She problem solved quickly and always provided feed-back. Daniele is a go getter. I was able to buy and sell my properties in short period of time. What I appreciated most from Daniele is that she was always truthful and respectful about my wishes regarding pricing of my property , viewing properties, etc. She did not pressure me on anything against my wishes. Thank you, Daniele!

Karley was very patient with us though I am sure at times we were getting on her nerves. Both my husband and I had certain items in a house that we did not want to compromise on. We finally found a house in which we can make it ours. Thank you Karley for all your help and becoming a true friend to us, we look forward to watching our friendship blossom with you over the coming years.

As a first time home buyer, Daniele took the time to go through all the details of each step of the home buying process. She was always on top of the market notifying me when new listing were coming up and she had good guidance on her assessment of the properties being viewed. Overall a great experience!

I was very very happy with her and her they made us very simple and very easy And I also got the price that I when I Lived in SEA FOR TH Ontario And I got the price that I wanted there as well and she is very good I would recommend her services to anybody Thank you ladies for what you have done

This is for Karley Kellestine :- Thank you for your tireless work. Nothing matches your stamina. It means a lot. You worked for us like a friend. It was not a Big Business but you gave your 100% to purchase our small home, which is really awesome. Really appreciated 💐 My wife and I are really happy with you.

Needed to find a smaller house in Brights Grove because our kids go to school there. Only three to choose from. Put an offer in on one. The owners went back on the deal wanting more money. We thought we had no choice until Daniele found us the perfect place and that deal was done and signed in one day! The owners live in Texas! This is our fifth time with Daniele and Rob Yeo. Every single time has been stress-free. They have just found us perfect homes through the years. We’re happier than ever. It’s even 5 times better than the one we put an offer on originally. Extremely happy with their honesty, loyalty and hard work they put in. Could not be happier and they saved my kids from having to go to another school. They just started there in September so it was very important to keep them there. Changed our lives for the better. We wish we could thank them more. 🧡

My husband and I had Rob from the Elevate Real Estate Team to be our realtor when moving to Sarnia. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Sarnia area and would tell us areas to stay away from or areas to try to buy a house in. He was always kind, friendly, and understanding of our wants and needs in our new house. I highly recommend choosing Rob as your realtor in Sarnia, he is the best realtor in the area and will make sure you are well taken care of.

Daniele is a professional and knows her job well. I was impressed from the very first meeting. She took time to listen to our needs, made notes and helped in analyzing the various options on hand. She is quick in responding to the queries and we never felt pressured at any time regarding making a decision. She also connected us with a lawyer and mortgage professional, thus making the whole process smoother. Thanks Daniele !

We were looking for a home on the Huron Coast as we are avid Kayakers and looking for a retirement home. My wife found Daniele Dunlop’s contact information and the search began. This wasn’t a quick process and Daniele was fantastic during our search. We randomly called her asking if we could see this house on this day and every single time it happened as scheduled. The best part of this story is the house that we finally found and purchased is perfect for us and is in our dream location. We feel very fortunate and Daniele had a huge part in this whole process. Daniele is very professional and knows the real estate market, she sees potential and downside when expressing herself. Very honest which is a great quality.

Awesome! I used this word to Daniele to describe her and the services she provided and stand by them. Late one night I sent an email to Daniele about a listing we were interested in viewing. To my surprise, I received an immediate response back about that property. Our relationship with Daniele started that very moment. Having been out of the real estate market for sometime, we were looking to find the perfect small home to suit our needs and budget. It was early spring and we wanted to be settled by summer, therefore, we were working within a short time frame. Daniele was quick to send us links so we could immediately start the process and by the next day we were on our way to view homes. In a short time we saw many homes but we kept going back to one in particular. She was very patient and set up additional viewings of this same house. Had we not, we would have skipped by the one we ultimately chose. Daniele was very patient with us, listening to our stories, concerns and our lists of needs and wants. From taking that time, she got a sense of exactly what we were looking for. Daniele’s clients come first. She really does care and focuses on them and their needs and is dedicated to finding that perfect home. She was professional during our showings and if we had questions about a property, she immediately contacted the seller’s agent so we could get our answer quickly. Daniele was available to us via email or text and we were never left waiting long for an answer. She was thorough, but not pushy and gave us time to digest all that we saw before making our final decision. When we made an offer, she gave it her all throughout the negotiations. She made a very personal, stressful experience a very rewarding one for us. Our experience with both Daniele and Rob was indeed a very positive one and we were so happy with their services. They are both very professional, efficient, knowledgeable and organized. Four great words to describe an awesome team who will do their very best for their clients. Thanks so very much!

After cold calling several listing agents on an ad hoc basis, I got in touch with Rob, also randomly.   Immediately,  Rob Yeo stood out as being particularly attentive and enthusiastic. Just what does go into making a good agent, I wondered?  To this point, Rob is very, very talented.  He is smart as evidenced by his planning, problem solving and attention to detail.  These traits, in addition to finding Rob so approachable,  are what made me ask him to work with my husband, Victor and I.  For over two years now, we have been looking to buy. We were throwing out terms like cottage, summer home, retirement home.  Victor and my plan for the future was still taking shape.  Que Rob’s vast knowledge of real estate trends in a certain locale, fair market value, and benefits of local amenities.  Rob has an excellent grasp of his product and can provide specific information on individual houses right down to the details.   Our story is, we are a 4 person family all adult sized, with dogs and a cat, looking to upsize from our trailer. Rob patiently stayed in touch with us, always available but never pressuring. Now, in the end, we just purchased our home away from home.  It is on a quiet street, with a suitable layout, on a huge lot and brimming with character.  I believe that Rob represented our interests with much integrity when presenting our offer.  What is it they say about real professionals making it look easy? I’ll close with a big, big ” thank you” to Rob and Daniele for making the process of home buying seem easy! It attests to your excellence!

We are extremely happy with the Elevate Real Estate Team. Daniele explained every step of the process and answered all of our questions. She and her team were always available and their expertise made the experience of selling our home and purchasing another much less stressful. Our home sold within a week and far above the asking price. I highly recommend Elevate Real Estate.

As a first time home buyer, I was hesitant about the process of purchasing a home. I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Rob Yeo from Re/Max and would highly recommend him as a sales representative. I have felt very supported since the beginning of this process and have greatly appreciated Rob’s ongoing guidance. His professionalism, strong interpersonal skills and high attention to detail are assets to his position. Rob’s strong communication skills as well as his competent and dependable nature made purchasing my first home such a smooth and positive process. Thanks so much, Rob!

Brent was easy to communicate and always got back to us quickly from start to finish. He was very helpful sending us lots of information on every property. He was able to help us find a house and made the whole process easy and relieved a lot of stress when it came to closing a deal. Would recommend Brent to anyone I know.

My wife and I had a bad experience with our last Realtor, so we were hesitant to trust one again. My wife spoke to Daniele on the phone in order to book a meeting with them, and immediately she had a good feeling about her. She was professional, and made my wife feel, through this phone call, like she was serious about helping us sell our house. When we finally met, we knew we had made a good choice. Both Daniele and Rob were very professional. They told us what needed to be done, but listened to our concerns as well. Because we took their advice, our house sold in one day!! Because they had listened so well to what we were looking for in a new home, this also happened quickly for us, and we found our new home days after selling ours. We were very happy with their services, as they were enjoyable to work with, and we would recommend Rob and Daniele to anyone!! Thanks again guys!!

Four years ago, we listed our home with Daniele Dunlop Yeo and Rob Yeo of Re/Max. It was so stress free and they guided us every step of the way. They worked extremely hard showing our home and it sold quickly. Now, we’re in another home they found for us. It was an experience we dreaded but it turned out to be almost fun! Now we’re looking to upgrade and of course, we wouldn’t ever list with anybody else! Just an awesome, stress free experience. Thank you!!

I highly recommend Danielle and her team to do the very best for you as you enter the real estate market or continue to move through it. Danielle is professional, highly knowledgeable, down to earth, friendly and so very helpful. I have purchased 2 homes with Danielle and recommend her highly. She did such a great job selling us our last home that we found our forever home and will never move again. Sorry to say that we won’t be a client anymore, however, we will always remain friends. We wanted a small bungalow (under 1200 so feet), in a nice neighbourhood, and one we could change to suit our tastes and needs. Danielle delivered just that. She was patient with us, listened to us, answered all our questions and assisted us in a very easy transaction. She didn’t try to upsell us and took as much time with us as needed. We felt like we were her only clients but knew she was a hard working and busy lady! Don’t hesitate to have this team guide you through an important investment you will make for your future.

Karley worked with us to purchase our home in Sarnia. She was available quickly when needed and responded efficiently to all our messages. Her knowledge and skill was an asset when purchasing our home. Karley is enthusiastic and friendly. She has made an out-of-town transition easier by offering support to source local community services, as well as answering any questions we may have about Sarnia. We can’t Thank You enough!!!

A few years ago, I was relocated to Sarnia by my employer. I was given a small window of time for my wife and I to move to a new city, start a new job, and find a new home. This was also our first home buying experience and we had no knowledge of the Sarnia area, real estate fees, lawyers etc. We began as most perspective buyers do, by visiting mls.ca to look for potential homes. We didn’t have a Real Estate Agent, so we started calling the listing agents of the homes we were interested in. Seeing we were against a tight deadline, we needed to start the process right away; however, every agent we had called was either unavailable, not returning our messages, or not taking our situation seriously. That all changed when we called Daniele Yeo! We first called her around 10pm on a Thursday night to inquire about one of her listings, fully expecting to be sent straight to voicemail, but to our surprise- she picked up. Daniele took the time that night to discuss the home that we were calling about and to get an understanding of our situation and what we were looking for. She knew all the right questions to ask and was able to pinpoint exactly what kinds of houses would suit our lifestyle best. Daniele took the time to answer all our questions; she was patient and incredibly kind during the call. Within a day, she had scheduled a showing for the house we originally called about, and four additional showings for our first day in Sarnia. As a first time home buyer, the excitement, nerves, finances, and stress of such a big purchase can be overwhelming. Daniele was an incredible guide; there was never a question she couldn’t answer and she always took the time to help us weigh all of our options. She personally showed us close to 20 homes over just a few days, and with her help we were able to find the perfect home for us. Working with Daniele and Rob Yeo was an amazing experience. If we ever decide to move in the future, our first call will be to them. Having trust in your real estate agent is essential to a successful buying experience. Daniele and Rob Yeo are agents that you can rely on. They are out to find you the best house for you and your personal situation. I encourage anyone thinking about buying a home contact Daniele and Rob, you’ll be happy you did.
