Planning For Retirement ...
"We were researching places to retire and Charlottesville was on our short list. When we contacted Arleen and informed her of our long-range plans, she insisted that she be our Charlottesville guide. We did not feel comfortable taking up her time, because we were uncertain that Charlottesville was going to be our home.

Arleen listened to our requirements, which were many, and gave us sound advice. She gave us a bird's-eye view of the Charlottesville area, a tour of the homes on the market as well as new construction. When we left Charlottesville, we felt that we were educated as to the variety of neighborhoods and homes available. We decided to build our "dream house" in Charlottesville.

Because this house is to be our last, we had very specific ideas as to floorplan and products. Arleen recommended a builder that would be flexible and open to our ideas. As a result, after 1 1/2 years, we got exactly what we asked for and more. Arleen was instrumental with our selection of location, lot and builder. Her assistance with these major decisions enabled us to achieve the type of home we were searching for."

Transcontinental Connections ...
"I want to commend Arleen Yobs for her excellent work recently in selling our home. She provided sound consultation and guidance and was willing to meet at our convenience. However, what really stood out was her ability to use technology to complete the sale. When I think of Real Estate, I don't normally think of web sites, digital photography, and email. Arleen used all three, and more, to great advantage in the sale of our home. Having moved to England while the house was on the market, you can imagine that we were pretty anxious about the offers, inspection, closing and more. Arleen kept us informed up to the minute, sometimes with three emails a day. She minimized our expenses and risk. In fact, I'm sure we could not [have] closed on time without her efforts and skills. When we return to Charlottesville in three years or so, I'm looking forward to starting virtual house-hunting with Arleen from three thousand miles and five time zones away."

Selling one home and buying another...
"My wife and I elected to put our home on the market in the spring of 1998 but were not sure where we would be going. The only thing we were sure of is that we had real specific requirements in the kind of home we wanted and it had to be in Forest Lakes, which didn't leave much room for Arleen to work her magic. Not only did Arleen work to get us an offer, which we ultimately accepted, two days after our house was on the market but helped us coordinate the purchase of the ideal house with almost perfect timing...out of one house and into our new home. We really appreciate the effort, creativity and enthusiasm Arleen put forth for our cause. We now have room to expand and with a third child due in February, Arleen really did deliver!"

Forest Lakes Planned Commumity Expert ...
"Through the process of purchasing and selling 8 homes, ( 3 of which were in Forest Lakes!) We have enjoyed working with a variety of Realtors®. We can truly say that Arleen is as good as it gets. Her Patience, Dedication, Integrity, Experience and her unique "Style" make her truly stand out!!"
