The Ottawa market has not been friendly to buyers and as new home owners, it has been the least ideal and most daunting market to enter. At one point, the competition was so fierce we just wanted to quit, but having Yasmin as our agent was the only thing that kept us pushing forward. She is diligent, persistent, prepared, knowledgeable and quick to respond. With her, we never felt pushed to buy just any house, she truly looked out for our best interests and was incredibly patient throughout our many viewings. We can safely assume being a buyers agent in this market is no easy task either, but you would never know it by working with Yasmin. She is always composed and optimistic. She will answer as many questions as you have without complaint. And when you finally find "the one", she will fight hard for you and provide sound advice when you draft the offer. You will feel like a valued client from the time you create your search to the time you get your keys. We are grateful to her for everything — we would not have gotten this far without her. - Chelsey Enriquez and Jeff Fernandes

Yasmin was a gem. She is beyond thoughtful and organized. She remembers everything you want in a house, she helps you seek out any deficiencies and is patient. She goes out of her way for you and provide all the information you require to make a home purchase. I have used Yasmin a few times now. I highly recommend Yasmin. - Ingrid Coupland

This is our second time working with Yasmin and it was again a great experience! We bought our first home with her but this was our first time selling with her. Given the pandemic, we were concerned about the market but Yasmin not only reassured us but found a creative way to list our home. Our home sold within 48 hours of listing - we were shocked at how quick and easy it was! The thing we love most about Yasmin is how easy she is to work with and what an amazing person she is. She's always there to answer our questions quickly and help us through the process. She has a wealth of knowledge and a great network - both of which helped us greatly during this process. Many people think that selling can easily be done without any agent but our recent experience showed us that is not the case at all! We couldn't imagine doing this without her! If you're looking for an agent, we highly recommend her and you won't have any regrets! - David & Mylene

Yasmin is a woman who is extremely devoted to her work. She is very professional, doing her best and more to meet the needs of her clients. Yasmin explains the sale or purchase process even before she begins the work. She is always available when you need to speak with her, or ask her questions. Never in a bad mood, rather always good-humoured from start to finish. She is someone who never looks at her watch when she is having a discussion. She can be counted on at any hour of the day or night to finalize a sale or purchase. To conclude, I would say that, in my opinion, she is the best. Yasmin est une femme qui se consacre à son travail d’une manière extraordinaire. Elle est très professionnelle, fait de son mieux et plus pour répondre aux besoins de ses clients. Yasmin explique le processus de vente ou de l’achat d’une propriété avant même d’entamer les démarches. Elle est  toujours présente quand on a besoin de lui parler, ou de lui poser des questions. Jamais de mauvaise humeur, mais plutôt toujours de bonne humeur du début à la fin. C’est une personne qui ne regarde jamais sa montre quand elle est engagée dans une discussion. On peut compter sur elle à n’importe quelle heure de jour ou de nuit pour finaliser une vente ou un achat. Pour conclure, je dirais qu’à mon avis elle est la meilleure.

Given the current market, we had opted to purchase a new home before selling ours. We had the pleasure of going through the buying process with Yasmin and had such a great experience with her that we figured we would also ask her to represent us for our sale. Having previously used "sell your home yourself" types of competitors, and while i can't speak to the value or efficiency of other agents specifically, I can honestly say that if we ever find ourselves needing real estate services, we'll be going through Yasmin again. She always makes herself available for questions and is quick to respond. Just like in our purchase, her objectivity and experience had allowed her to work with us to come up with a selling strategy that worked out incredibly well. Topping everything off, Yasmin is surrounded by an equally talented team of contacts who assisted with photography and a staging consultation, which turned our house into something you'd see in an issue of dwell magazine. She's incredibly easy going and made the whole process an absolute breeze by helping coordinate the multitude of consultations, showings, and juggling the multiple offers we received. As I wrote in our previous review from our experience purchasing with her, if you're ever lucky enough to work with Yasmin, you can rest assured that you're, without a doubt, working with an expert who will legitimately work for you before themselves. - Jean-Sebastien Gendreau and Jasmine Rauche

Yasmin is a true professional. She is extremely responsive and proactive in her approach. Despite how hot the market is and the challenges posed by Covid, Yasmin made me feel like I was her first and only priority and I'm sure that is how she makes all of her clients feel. I will work with her in the future for sure. - Yves

Yasmin was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is reliable, honest, enthusiastic and down to earth. As first homebuyers, it was a bit stressful as we didn't know where and how to start buying a home during this global pandemic and in such a crazy market.  She was able to guide us through the entire homebuying process by being professional, knowledgeable, efficient and very responsive. Yasmin was always available to answer our questions, had us covered on all the little details and made sure we ended up with the perfect home.  After the sale, she has continued to be helpful and responsive as she helps us with our lawyer, mortgage broker, etc. Above all, we thank you for your hard work. I highly recommend Yasmin for anyone looking to buy or sell their home. - Nikolas Campbell

We found Yasmin through her glowing online reviews, and it was instantly clear why she’s so well-rated: Yasmin is truly THE BEST. She was an invaluable advisor throughout the entire home buying process and I can’t imagine having done it without her. As first-time home buyers purchasing just as a global pandemic set in, the entire process should have been incredibly stressful. But instead, Yasmin helped us feel completely confident every step of the way. We really appreciated how quickly she responded to our endless stream of questions. But it was the substance of her communications that made all the difference. Yasmin is a wealth of information and always ensured we had every available piece of data to make the best decisions possible. In the rare case that she didn’t already know the answer, she always found it — fast. Yasmin is patient, thoughtful, and honest. She never pressured us to put in an offer or bid more than we were comfortable with. Instead she acted as a sounding board, helping us hone in on exactly what we wanted. Then, she made it her mission to help us find just that — while always keeping things realistic. She pays incredible attention to detail and is completely professional. And as a great bonus, she’s super fun to work with. (When you’re looking at a ton of houses while navigating a global pandemic, that makes a big difference.) Above all else, Yasmin wanted to make sure that we ended up happy with whatever decision we made — and thanks to her hard work, we really did. - Laura Tribe

If you’re worried about picking the wrong real estate agent, you can stop: you just found the perfect one. Yasmin Fues is the real deal. At your first meeting you’ll notice that she is bright, highly perceptive, and has exceptional recall of detail. She is very responsive, even answering text messages and emails well outside of regular office hours, and always willing to jump on the phone to talk through anything. She is candid, direct, and will ask the right questions to help you tease out your priorities as you review listing after listing after listing. Our experience was that she often felt less like an agent and more like a thought partner who really helped us get concrete about our needs. She brought a deep well of knowledge to our journey and helped us look around corners to identify what a given property would need not just in the short-term, but also over the next 10 to 20 years. Yasmin is down to earth, flexible, and treats your money like it’s hers, often taking time to lay out what she felt the homes we viewed were really worth, as opposed to what it would take to “win it.” She also has a great sense of humour, which was super important for us. Throughout all this she was exceptionally professional, ethical, and always felt like she was on your team. And, finally, my wife would kill me if I didn’t mention Yasmin’s patience. As an anxious, neurotic, over-thinker, my questions sometimes bordered on pedantic, and yet throughout the barrage of (sometimes stream of conscious) questions Yasmin was cool, empathetic, and never showed signs of fatigue. I can’t recommend her enough and have recommended her to everyone I know. - Josh Tabish

Yasmin is the perfect agent. She is very knowledgeable and very happy to help with any questions I had. She is patient and asks thoughtful questions that help you think about the properties you are looking at. Well organized and a wonderful personality that makes it a pleasure even in a crazy market. Yasmin knows what pitfalls to look for in houses depending on their location, age, etc. She seems to have a good working relationship with other agents which is very important. After the sale, she has continued to be helpful and responsive as she helps me with my lawyer, mortgage broker, etc.. I will 100% work with her again and recommend her to anyone I know. - Garnet Ulrich

Yasmin was absolutely amazing to work with! At every stage of the process, she went above and beyond. She was responsive, dedicated, honest and straightforward. Her assessment of the market was spot on. She demonstrated her years of experience throughout — at the initial walk-through, preparing and staging the home, pricing, listing, showing, receiving offers, and closing. She took what was a very stressful situation and was able to make it seamless (in the middle of a pandemic, at that). I would recommend Yasmin without hesitation! - David S

Working with Yasmin has made my homebuying experience a dream come true. She was able to guide me through this process by being professional, knowledgeable, efficient and very responsive. Yasmin was always available to answer my questions and made sure I ended up with the perfect home. She has a very caring and patient attitude and as a first time homebuyer I felt very supported. I highly recommend Yasmin for anyone looking to buy or sell their home. - Pascale Castonguay

Yasmin is AMAZING! We bought our home with Yasmin 2 years ago, so we knew how great she was to work with. She exceeded all expectations when we were selling. She enlisted the help of a staging consultant, lent us staging items, provided individually wrapped PPE kits for potential buyers, wiped surfaces after showings while we were away and so much more. Thanks to her guidance, we received several offers, and sold way over asking. I could not imagine having to sell our home without Yasmin on our side - especially during a pandemic. Can't wait to work with her again, and cannot recommend her enough. - Helen Ens

Yasmin is a pleasure to work with. She brings tons of knowledge and enthusiasm to the table and has you covered on all the little details as well. We are looking forward to working with her again! - Mark George

Yasmin was so calm and helpful leading me through selling my house after close to 30 years of ownership. wonderful job of staging and pictures. very pleased with the results. now on to finding my smaller retirement home. - Vickie Therrien

Moving through the process of purchasing a home can be an overwhelming experience, but Yasmin was such a calm, grounded presence for us. She was so knowledgeable and attuned to our needs at every step of the way, leaving us feeling a sense of ease knowing we were in such capable, but also compassionate hands. She was so diligent in her work, and incredibly responsive in her communication. We would whole-heartedly recommend Yasmin to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home - you will be so grateful to have her by your side! - Mark & Michelle Berezny

Yasmin was referred to us by a family member and I am so grateful that he put us in touch. She is friendly, outgoing, professional, knowledgeable and her response time to my emails and texts were quite impressive! As we are moving from the Toronto area, we were extremely grateful that she was so giving of her time on such short notice. She arranged to have us see 3 homes that weekend and we ended up purchasing the last home we saw. We all fell absolutely in love with it and knew this was home as soon as we walked through the front door that very first time. The day of the offers, I was leaving work when she called. When Yasmin gave me the good news that the home was ours, I cried and she cried with me. My excitement and happiness extended to her and I loved how she connected with us in the short time we spent together. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and I can't wait to get settled so I can bake her the cupcakes I promised. You have a wonderful agent in Yasmin Fues❤ - Kimberley Morrissey

Yasmin was very dedicated and supportive in our journey to find a house for the family since we moved to Ottawa. She helped us securing a beautiful rental place while we were looking for a house to purchase. She provided all the information about places and arranged showings in light speed. She was very transparent and was on our side in different negotiations. She provided advisory and shared some of her vast experience. We appreciate all the help we received and highly recommend Yasmin to anyone looking for a house. If you want a nice, organized, knowledgeable, and always available agent, go with Yasmin. - Mohammed & Basma

It was an absolute pleasure working with Yasmin,From the very first time we met with her we felt so comfortable & it was clear that Yasmin is extremely kmowledgable,honest & unlike other agents we met with,Yasmin absolutely had our best interest at heart.For any future real estate needs we will absolutely use Yasmin.We highly reccomed her ! - Marjorie

Yasmin is so amazing realtor. she did an excellent job of helping me purchase my new home. she was prompt in returning texts/calls and answering my question any time. I highly recommend Yasmin for those looking to buy or sell real estate. - Dina

Yasmin is a great real estate agent. From her attention to detail, knowledge, a responsiveness she has has been there for us. We started looking for a resale home and she has brought us to countless houses in all areas of town. She gave us ideas on what could be potentially done in a house if we purchased it and how much the renovations might cost. She also pointed out things that we may not have noticed that would need to be checked or repaired. During the time we were looking at resale homes Yasmin was contacting builders weekly to find out if any lots were available. After being outbid on a house again in this volatile market Yasmin contacted us to let us know somw lots had become available. Now as we are in the process of purchasing a new build home. Even through the new build process she has come with us to appointments and emailed or called on our behalf when there were questions we had for the builder. We have relied on her experience when making decisions on the new house for what will add the most value. Yasmin is very invested in her clients and strives to make sure that we can realize our vision for our dream home. - Erica Dorvaut

We are repeat clients of Yasmin Fues! Yasmin was our realtor 3 years ago (2016) to purchase our home when we moved from Toronto to Ottawa. She was great to work with remotely and was very responsive to emails and texts, as well as phone calls if needed. She was patient during showings and helped entertained my son who was a toddler at the time. At the time, it was a buyer's market and I was amazed at how much negotiation power we had which Yasmin handled for us in a very professional manner - shielding us when needed but still keeping us aprise of all details. She ensured we did not pay over market value and that we had proper conditions in place. She advised us in a good way in case our actions or thoughts were not of the best judgement. Recently, we used her again to purchase an investment property. She had switched brokerages and market conditions have changed significantly but her quality of service has not. It is rare to find a realtor that you can completely trust to watch out for you. With Ottawa being a seller's market with bidding wars, Yasmin still ensured we got a great deal and helped protect us against any potential risks. Yasmin is very detailed oriented and would note any issues or concerns with each property which she followed up quickly afterwards without being asked. Once our offer was accepted, Yasmin excecuted seemlessly with our lawyer and mortgage advisor. We did not have to lift a finger! She didn't drop us off and moved onto the next client (as our realtors have in past deals). I will not hesitate to recommend her or use her again! - Phong and Marc

Yasmin was exactly what we needed to complete our out-of-town purchase: patient, high attention to detail, and incredibly responsive. She helped us navigate a complex world with great ease, and demonstrated a superior knowledge of the Ottawa housing and rental markets. She has a great ability to understand what we were looking for in a house, and brought an insightful perspective on elements we had not thought about. On top of that - she made it an enjoyable experience! She kept it fun throughout the process. She knew when to offer feedback and when to allow us time to take a step back to evaluate when required. Can't recommend her enough! - Collin Goodlet

Yasmin is one in a million! She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. As first time buyers we had a lot of silly questions and she was always quick and happy to answer all of them. She made the transition to homeowners an absolute breeze. She is reliable, honest, enthusiastic and down to earth. Not only will you have an amazing experience purchasing or selling with Yasmin at your side you will feel like you have a friend for life. I highly recommend Yasmin! - Krystle and Anthony

I wish I could jump out of your screen and tell you how amazing Yasmin is! She helped successfully sell our investment property in Stittsville. Since we needed to sell it within a short time to complete a home purchase in the Vancouver area, where we live, there were many challenges along the way and many stresses for my spouse and I. At every stressful moment Yasmin was there alongside us, going through the struggles and carrying our burdens, yet remaining in control. What stands out most about Yasmin is how she cares. She cared for us and everyone involved in this process; she works with her whole heart. And when everything was completed, she celebrated with us as though this place was her own. So awesome! This is the second time that we've worked with Yasmin and I'd never hesitate to work with her again. - Jeffery G.

Yasmin was absolutely professional throughout the entire process. She was aware of my communication needs and always available if I had any questions. She provided me with excellent advice with preparing my place for sale and helped me make the best decisions for the timeframe I had. I have already recommended Yasmin to other people and will continue to do so. She's absolutely fantastic! - Matthew Tate

We moved from Montreal to Ottawa toward the end of summer and had a very tight schedule to find a new home in Ottawa. I didn't know anything about Ottawa, She showed us more than 50 houses, patiently; as I had several factors to consider. she introduced various areas of the city, explained clearly pro/cons of different areas, and most importantly she saved me from making bad offers out of frustration in this fast-moving Ottawa market. I highly recommend her professional service, because of her high ethical standard and clear understanding of the market. she is not an agent to sell you a house, but she is the one who helps you find a home. - Hassan Raiesi

If there was an option for higher than 5 stars I'd click that in a heartbeat! Not enough space or words can describe how amazing Yasmin is. This will be our 3rd purchase with her and she is not only our realtor or best friend but also family to us now. I have and will continue to refer Yasmin to any and everyone! Thank you so much for your hard work, honesty, knowledge, friendship, trust and for everything you do!!! - Dave Newell

Thank you Yasmin for being our agent. We could not have asked for anyone better. Even with the quick turnaround of homes you were on top of it all the way. You were always smiling and professional and encouraging . - Betty Ozga

Yasmin provided prompt and professional services right from her initial email reply through the completion of our purchase. During our initial phone call with Yasmin, we immediately knew that we would use her for our home purchase. Her outgoing personality and knowledge of the market gave us a comfortable feeling that we were using the right agent, before we even met her. She provided us with a personal portal that was very easy to navigate and communicate with her. Due to the dynamic day-to-day changes on the Ottawa market, we had to be flexible with our viewings. Yasmin, was able to adapt our viewing schedule quite efficiently during our short time in Ottawa to accommodate last minute changes. She has an excellent rapport with other agents and her negotiating skills were impeccable. At the end of the day we secured a property within 4 days for well under the asking price. We would recommend Yasmin to anyone looking to buy a property in the Ottawa area. Thanks Yasmin!!! - Adam and Angela

We were after a Realtor to help us relocate from the Fraser Valley, BC, to Ottawa, and finding Yasmin was a complete miracle. A few other reviews mentioned she had helped people move Province so we reached out to her and it was the best decision we made. Every communication with Yasmin, from our initial reach out, right through to the end was answered swiftly, and if she had to get information from elsewhere she would always let us know. We even received follow up emails if she was still waiting for answers just to say she was still on the case! There was no wondering what was going on at all, she kept us fully up to date at all times. No question we had was too big, too small or too many, she was super helpful, friendly and professional. Available at the end of the phone or email whenever we wanted, and made our buying in Ottawa a simple easy process. She really couldn’t have made it any easier for us! We flew over to meet up with Yasmin and view houses a couple of times, and each time we were so pleased we’d chosen Yasmin. Her enthusiasm for helping us really came through and even with last minute trips she was always able to make arrangements to accommodate us. We really enjoyed working with Yasmin, she has such a wonderful personality, so helpful, knowledgeable and professional. She made us feel like we were her total focus of attention. If we ever move again we would definitely call Yasmin without hesitation! - Connie & Paul

Yasmin is highly knowledgeable about Ottawa real estate and is a kind and experienced agent. She efficiently accompanied us to see many houses in the city and patiently answered our many questions and guided us though the process. She is very professional and timely. She made of buying our first home easy and continues to be of assistance even after the deal has closed. Will be recommending her to everyone! - April

Yasmin's experience was a key ingredient in the successful sale of our home. Her advice was insightful and timely, giving us the ability to make decisions that were reasoned and free of obstructive emotion. Supportive, she always fought to get feedback from visiting agents, which was a very important factor in any adjustments that we made. During the crucial moments of the final negotiation, her input was very appropriate and she anticipated our need for information. This abated our inevitable concerns in the seemingly long and quiet moment waiting for the lifting of conditions. We are pleased to provide this endorsement and we would without hesitation recommend her to our friends. - Steve and Cheryl Gillies
