About me

I am originally from Washington, Pennsylvania, a little community outside of Pittsburgh.  My family owned a window cleaning business there.  I wrote a blog just to say hello

 My career as a real estate agent started in 1973 with Hammil Quinlan Real estate.  They were later bought out by Merrill Lynch.  I was second in sales for the South Hills office. 

The real estate market in the 80s was a tight market.  Interest rates were at 18%, but people still bought houses.  My first client was for a listing.  The owner was being transferred with Westinghouse.  I got the buyer for both sides of the transaction. and we referred the buyer to a Realtor in Atlanta.  I have been hooked on real estate ever since.

I met my husband in 1984.  We were married after a whirlwind courtship.  We now have a family of three children, and two grandchildren.  We moved from Pennsylvania in 1995.  We were not sure if we were going stay in Las Vegas, so we rented a home in Henderson in Whitney Ranch.  We had to move for work, and Las Vegas was a booming area offering lots of work.  I went to work for Century 21 Consolidated, and we settled in.  Although we now are residents of Las Vegas, we have kept our team the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Gooooooo Steelers.

Las Vegas is our home now.  We live in the Green Valley area.  We bought our home in 1998.  We rented until we found something we liked.  Lots of people rent now that there are so many people losing there homes. looking for a rental home contact me at 702-521-1442 or pyoestc21@aol.com .  If you are losing your home and still want to be a homeowner,  talk to me about Rent To Own programs.  With this type of program you do not need stellar credit.

 We have fond memories of Pennsylvania and my husband and I have family there., but Las Vegas is our home.  We have fond memories here too .  We have added to our family , we now have two grandchildren.  We aren't going anywhere. 

People who say Las Vegas is not for families are wrong.  Lots of families live here, it's the values you bring to the place you live.  We have lots of good friends and even brought people we know out here because of the economy.  Our economy is not what it used to be but we are rebuilding as are a lot of cities in this country.  Businesses are hiring once again and again Las Vegas will grow.  If you are looking to relocate to the area, please visit my web site at Nevada Investment Homes

 At first, it was hard getting used to block walls around us, and no trees.  The summer's were tremendously hot and it almost never snowed.  Somehow as the years went by, we bought a home, made memories, added grandchildren, and it became apparent we were never going to move.  We really settled in.

The Las Vegas real estate market was a good one, and I loved my job.  I met some friends at my job and we decided to change broker's because we were unhappy at the one we were with.  We stayed with Century 21 because the brand had something to offer in the way of recognition.  We went to Century 21 Distinctive, later they were bought out by Century 21 Aadvantage Gold and I have been with them ever since.  Why stay with Century 21 you ask?  I stay because they keep up with what's hapening in the world today and no matter where you live , or where you are going to live there's an agent to help you.  If you are being transferred let us make it easier by referring you to an agent where you are going.   Let us move you to Vegas.  Send for our free relocation kit

My career with Century 21 has been exciting, and rewarding for me.  I am a multi-million dollar producer with awards such as Centurion, Centurion Team, Pacesetter Platinum award,  and The Summerlin award for top sales in the company.  My broker is Mike Brelsford, and Sandy Ford.  I love them both they are like family.  You can find my office at 7230  S. Eastern, Las Vegas, Nv. 89123 and you can call me at 702-719-2100.  Expect me to answer my phone , as long as it is not in the middle of the night.  I am kidding, I do answer my phone in the middle of the night in case of emergencies.

I became the Realtor for top real estate investors Dolf De Roos of Rich Dad Poor Dad fame, and Gene Burns.  They had a goal to buy 52 hous in 52 weeks which we did in less than that time.  They held real estate seminars and investors from far and wide would come to listen to how to buy investment homes.  I became very versed in the owner finance methods of selling homes which is now under fire with the Safe Act.  I still work with investors in listing and selling small commercial and residential real estate.  Dolf and Gene wrote a book about the adventures we had called "52 Homes In 52 Weeks"in which I am the Realtor.   I became so busy that I had to have other Realtors to join me and we are The Pat Yoest Team.  Please feel free to visit my website for more information about me and my team.

I hope I have told you everything about me and my background that you get an idea of what I am about and where I am at in my Life to decide if you want to work with me.  If there's something I missed, please contact me and let's go have a coffee and I will tell you what you want to know.  I bring to the drawing board experience, education, a shoulder to lean, and an ear to listen.  Your dreams of owning real estate can come true with the Dream Catcher team of Realtors.  Search for that perfect home at http://own.nevadainvestmenthomes.com
