Tina went out of her way to help me find the home I wanted. She was super timely, very courteous, and highly professional. She steered me properly when I wasn't sure what I was doing, she kept on top of every move the banker and the insurance company made, even intervening for us when we needed help. We feel that Tina went out of her way in so many unbelievable ways that we were successful in this home transaction.

Tina has creative ideas and was always "thinking outside of the box" on ways to sell our house. She is very professional, answers all our questions, and always responds to calls or text messages in a timely manner. We had a closing issue, and she fought hard for us—we called her "our little pit bull." We were so blessed to have her in our lives.

Tina responded quickly and was very personable. We had a lot in common, and she was easy to talk to.

My wife and I enjoyed having Tina represent us in the real estate transition and value the professionalism demonstrated during the short selling process. Tina is an expert with time management and is always punctual, which I greatly appreciate. Tina will be highly recommended by us!

Tina is amazing to work with! She made a potentially very stressful event easy and fun! I can't say enough great things about my home buying experience with Tina.

I've worked with a lot of Realtors - and Tina is absolutely the best that we've met in the greater Gainesville/Alachua County market. She is honest, straight-shooting, understanding, and she works incredibly hard for her clients. Tina was absolutely supportive and responsive, no matter the issue or the time of day (or night!). She was proactive about every aspect of our experience - from first viewings all the way through closing. She called upon her own trusted resources to get us through the loan process, inspections, surveying, etc... I didn't have to worry about a single detail, and (even better) I had every confidence that our best interests were being represented at every step. I am so grateful to have found Tina, and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Tina was excellent! Made everything simple and easy. Was very knowledgeable of the different areas around Gainesville. The relationships she had with the different people around town made everything simple. Would use for any kind of home purchase.

I have been absolutely thrilled to have had Tina as my real estate agent. I've now used her twice as a first-time home buyer and most recently as a first-time home seller. Tina provided exceptional customer service - explaining the process throughout, always available, great communication, and worked around my schedule since I moved out of town and needed to utilize digital options. I'm a younger client and Tina treated me with such kindness and respect. She helped me close on my new home in 12 days, and then when I sold this house most recently it was on the market less than 17 hours before I already had a bid for my asking price. She made the process seamless and worry-free. Her advice and recommendations from start to finish were always perfect. She's a pleasure to work with.

Tina was friendly and professional from day one. Her knowledge of the area and industry gave us total confidence in her handling our sale. Tina gave us great insight into the market and our opportunities in selling our home. Tina was consistently there to handle any and all questions we had. Thank you Tina and TY Realty.

Tina handled a sale for us and a buy within a year. Both times she was prompt, attentive and very knowledgeable. Great experiences from both perspectives.

We have know Tina for more than a decade and she was the automatic choice to sell our home. We knew we could trust her and she would do all she could to get our home sold. She was there for us for the smallest thing and an honest opinion when we needed it. She is more than a realtor, she is more of a dear friend who treats you like family. She is the only person I recommend to friends and family. Our home is under contract within 3 days!

Tina was fantastic to work with. She handled everything and coordinated all the parts and pieces of the process to simplify it for us. She is the best and I would use her if you want to sell your home. Thank you Tina for everything you did to help us get the house.

Tina knows her business! She is efficient and effective. I am on my third real estate transaction with her and trust her completely. From the photography to the legal documents, Tina makes sure every detail is perfect.

I highly recommend Tina Yakel for all of your real estate needs. She is super knowledgable, prompt, and has top-notch expertise. Tina helped me to find my forever home and I couldn't be happier with my experience!

Tina has been a very valuable asset to our team when searching for a home for my family to start in! We will certainly be return customers when the time comes to buy again. Picture of professionalism and incredibly knowledgeable on the area and the process of homebuying!

Tina is extremely knowledgeable with the market. I live out of state and she provided me up to date information regarding my property. Tina had my house sold in less than 12 hours on the market with multiple offers and we closed earlier than expected! I greatly appreciate her and her team’s professionalism and responsiveness.

Tina is just plain awesome. She knows about the process, and she cares tremendously about the people. She knows her stuff. And she knows the stuff everyone else should be doing and how to keep them doing it. When you want to organize yourself and prepare for buying or selling, you want Tina's advisement. When a deal is going off the rails, you want Tina in your corner. The most important thing is trust, and Tina is the one you can always trust to look out for you and help you.

I initially chose Tina Yakel because she is a Dave Ramsey recommended ELP realtor. There were a few other local realtors that came up, but Tina's responsiveness made her stand out. She also impressed me with her local knowledge and gave me all the comp information I could ever ask more. Tina is very thorough and professional. The surprise box of cookies she sent when we went under contract was not necessary but was very much appreciated by me and my dog. I would highly recommend Tina Yakel and her team to either sell your house or help you buy your perfect home.

Amber did a great job helping us find a house. We looked at several and she never griped about having to call all these people to get in the houses. She was easy to work with and under stood the process very well even though we were her first close. She has done her research and will do great in the future as well!

Tina is amazing!!! We worked with Tina when we are buying and selling our house. She has extended knowledge of the area and negotiates very hard for her customers. I recommend her %100.

We worked with Tina two times, bought a house and sold a house. The last one was perfect, she helped us in all details. For finding a house, she suggested small details and it helped a lot. It was a very good experience, we were very happy.

It was such a great pleasure working with Tina during the sale of my home! She did an excellent job in communicating with me and developing a strategy to get my home sold in one day. Tina is easy to speak to, will keep you updated and works hard to sell your home. I highly recommend working with Tina for any and all your real estate needs.

Tina was very easy to work with, always flexible, on top of things, very responsive, quick on everything we needed her to be, which was really nice in this market. She did a great job of explaining the important things to know for first time homeowners. We will definitely recommend her to friends!

It’s great to work with Tina. She helped us buy our house in 2018, so when we were selling and buying in 2022, we knew we wanted to work with her again. She’s very knowledgeable about the Market and not afraid to negotiate hard for you. She’s really honest and will tell you if you’re getting a good deal. She is always “on it”!

Three months before planning to list my house, I looked online and interviewed five realtors. I found Tina through the David Ramsey website. She stood out during the interview because she was well prepared, and she pointed out why my home was able to command a higher price compared to houses with similar footage in the neighborhood. She also provided feedback on what needed to be updated. Despite no written contract, she generously gave me names of handypersons to help with the repair. Once I signed the agreement, the photographer did a fantastic job showcasing the house, and Tina made sure the photos were arranged in a systematic way for the potential buyers to visualize the layout. Tina kept a close eye on the market, and I increased the listing price a few hours before listing. The house was visited by more than twenty realtors and contracted within the first day. I moved out of the area and still had a few items needing fixing before closing. Tina was able to help with the alarm that kept going off and make sure repairs were done correctly. A potential deal-breaker happened one week before closing, involving multiple parties; Tina investigated, and all involved parties were satisfied. During this selling process, Tina was dynamite, and I felt she had my back; she worked hard to ensure the house got sold. Tina Yakel has my highest recommendation!

Tina Yakel and TY Homes are off the charts amazing! Tina made the process of selling our home in Apollo Beach & finding our new home in St. Petersburg so easy. Her knowledge and expertise in real estate & marketing are outstanding. Even in a challenging real estate market, given the economy & increasing interest rates, Tina's clever marketing strategies brought us several interested buyers right away & we were under contract in just a few days! Tina really cares about her customers & will go to bat for you whenever needed. She and her team were wonderfully responsive and kept us in the loop with updates along the way. Tina also connected us with a real estate attorney who handled our closing effortlessly, as well as a lender - and the mortgage process went very smoothly. We highly recommend Tina & TY Homes and would never work with anyone else for any of our real estate needs!

Connie and Tina are the best, they helped make our out of state move so easy and went above and beyond with video walk thrus, answered questions in the evening and on weekends! Highly recommend them!!

I adore Tina and have bought and sold with her before. She is the only Realtor I will ever turn to and this time she worked her magic as did Justin. We bought, sold AND also closed SIMULTANEOUSLY on both properties. Tina won’t sugar coat things but she also assures you that things will work out and they have every time.

I had a great experience looking for and buying my new home with Tina and Justin. I was very stressed about the whole ordeal, but they were there to make sure everything went smoothly.
