I got a referral for Elaine Yates through a wonderful attorney. My first reaction to meeting Elaine was how professional and caring of a person she is. She exceeded all my expectations and I couldn't have asked for a better realtor. I had lost someone close to me and I was so stressed but she gave me so much support throughout. Elaine is one thing for sure - someone you'll never forget and I can't thank her enough. She's more than a realtor to me and I now consider her a dear friend. - Debbie kelley

My fiancée and I were looking to purchase our first home in Northumberland County, and came to the conclusion that we needed to find an agent local to the area who can give us an in depth outlook on what it’s like living in the area. After a quick Google search we stumbled upon Michael and Elaine at Cortisis Real Estate Team. We spoke to Elaine on the phone and she immediately jumped into action booking 8 showings for that weekend which was tremendous for us as we lived 2 hours outside of Northumberland Country. Elaine was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She was able to find us our dream home! She made the whole home buying process very easy and stress free. I’d recommend her to absolutely anyone looking to buy or sell in the Northumberland Area. Elaine was a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. - Ryan B

I would not hesitate to use Elaine again. She is top notch! Elaine is reliable, resourceful, professional and lovely to deal with. - Amber Catherine Hamilton

This was our first contact with Elaine. She did a lot of “hand holding” in our bid for our desired property in an extremely active and unpredictable market. We are very cautious people, but heightened our comfort zone considerably. Elaine was very responsive to our calls. I would recommend the Cortesis team for real estate transactions. - Karen and Bruce Steel

Working with Elaine has been hands down the best decision we have ever made. Elaine listened carefully to what we wanted, was very accessible to answer questions (and we had a lot) and has vast knowledge about the market and in particular buying rental properties. Most of all, when it came to making last minute decisions, Elaine’s approach was kind but direct. She told us everything we should consider and supported us to make a decision that was best for us. This can be an incredibly stressful process but Elaine held our hand every step of the way, keeping us relaxed and excited.  She put in countless hours helping us and I will continue to recommend Elaine to everyone I know looking to buy or sell. - Sarah

Being a young couple and not the most knowledgeable in the purchasing of a home Elaine was able to help us understand everything about the process! She showed us many different houses and we ended up finding the house that fit all our requirements! - Jess

2020 was stressful enough despite the fact that we bought and sold during the first week of the covid provincial shutdown, not knowing if we would sell our house, find a house we could go through and eventually buy, would there be a mortgage broker working who could help us, what about a lawyer and moving company. Don't forget the home inspection. Elaine was awesome. A great sounding board and now neighbour. I would not hesitate to send someone to Elaine for her guidance. She went above and beyond to help us see our potential homes, solve our problems and make this stressful time enjoyable with some laughs along the way. One of a kind... a hard working lady. Thanks Elaine. - Lori-Anne and Doug Davis
