About -----> Donna Yates, Georgia Realtor
The North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains and real estate are my passion! I feel very fortunate to have both. I strive to be a reliable, hard-working Realtor® who is dedicated to the real estate profession full-time.
Brief resume: Mercer University, Early Childhood Education; BellSouth Telecommunications - career in management, retired; Fannin County School System -Technology. Member of: National Association of Realtors, Georgia Association of Realtors, Northeast Georgia Board.
My goal for both home buyers and home sellers in the North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains is to build trusting relationships that will last far beyond closing. Real estate is a business, MY business and therefore, my clients and/or customers can be assured that they will be contacted in a timely manner and receive the utmost degree of integrity and ethics.
Respect for my clients and/or customers, their families, their hopes and dreams matter to me. Your real estate experience should be fair, honest and as smooth as possible because your satisfaction means much more to me than "just making the deal". I have a keen sense of responsibility and I am cautious - not to be mistaken for pessimism but instead positive thinking with a lot of reality checks!
This is a very competitive industry and you have many choices in real estate agents. Therefore, you have my personal commitment to earning your business through unremitting devotion and highly professional, personalized service to meet your needs. Please choose carefully.
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential. Winston Churchill
Thank you for your time and interest!

"Hello Donna:
We are all doing fine, and we're surely enjoying this new home. I know Joe is ever so eager to get to the outside work that desperately needs to be done, and that work will start in the spring. But the inside is pretty much settled in, and it is surely feeling like home. We would love to have you and your husband come by for a visit! We surely know who to recommend whenever they need a realtor."
J Poole Ellijay, GA
"Our new year started off great - the baby, Andrew, came two weeks early on the 29th, and New Year's Day we came home from the hospital. It has been a great year so far! I know that Summer and John are very happy there. ...we hope your holidays were quiet and peaceful and full of family and loved ones. We will definitely keep your number handy for our future in Blue Ridge/Gilmer, as well as let others know! We've already talked to some of our friends here about contacting you. Thanks again, and Happy New Year!"

"James, I have to tell you Donna went above and beyond her job description to help us out. I am not saying I expect that from you but it was really nice of her. She was able to help us out and for that reason I wanted to deal with her. ... she would try to recommend someone she felt was trust worthily. She picked you and I already feel she picked the right person. Let's hope we can get something started and start a great friend ship along the way. Thank you." Franco, Florida
