Kevin Yokum: What My Clients Are Saying

"I'm writing this to say what a pleasure it was working with Kevin on the sale of my property. From the first day I contacted him to the last day of signing the papers he was always in contact. We had some challenges along the way but every time he assured me it was no problem and he was right.I would not hesitate to refer Kevin and Whitetail Properties to anyone looking to buy or sell property.So again Kevin was outstanding and Whitetail Properties as well I thank you so much and have a great day."

"Recently I purchased two adjoining properties with the help of one of your agents, Kevin Yokum. I would like to relay to you how exemplary his help was. The two properties had different owners. He was the seller’s agent for both. With his help, I first purchased a forested canyon of 152 acres with a deeded right of way for all cash. A few days later I noticed an adjoining property just had come up for sale. It was a meadowed mountaintop of 118 acres at the head of the canyon. Its north side sloped down into the canyon. The mountaintop had a huge drawback: it was landlocked and had no right of way. This didn’t bother me because my canyon adjoined it.

But I had run through most of my ready cash and needed to take out a loan to buy it. I could have taken out a bank loan against my house in the city which was free and clear, but Kevin Yokum suggested a farm-oriented credit cooperative. He pointed out that the cooperative was amenable to lending to farmers and to securing its loans against rural properties, and indeed specialized in this activity, all of which was news to me. I applied for a loan from the cooperative and was pre-approved, but then was stopped by an immovable object: the 118 acres had no right of way and the cooperative would not accept a property with no right of way as collateral. What to do?

Kevin Yokum came up with a solution: Since I just had purchased the adjoining 152 acres for all cash, and it had a deeded right of way, let it be the collateral. This was suggested to the cooperative, and the cooperative accepted. The deal was closed. I then owned the 118 acres free and clear, and owned the 152 acres encumbered by an affordable twelve-year mortgage.

What is the outcome? The strengths of the two properties reinforce each other. The two joined together are more useful and therefore more valuable than the two would be separately.

Kevin Yokum made all this happen. His contribution was well above and beyond the call of duty. Your firm indeed is fortunate to have a man of such long experience, fruitful connection, and astute judgement on your team."

"Our agent Kevin went above and beyond any and all expectations of a buyers agent. He really gave a great effort to make sure we found the place of our dreams. Even after the purchase of our place, he checked on our moving progress and offered the chance for us to call upon him if we needed to. Then to boot, Fed Ex showed up with awesome gifts that we use daily! Whitetail Properties gave us a fantastic experience buying our home and will definitely recommend them to others."

"Kevin is excellent and helped us all along the way and we're still reaching out to him for local contractors and more. We made a new friend."

"I would like to write today to express how happy we were with our experience selling our home with Kevin Yokum at Whitetail Properties. We had a home in Snowshoe, West Virginia, splitting our time between there and our primary residence in New York City. It seemed like serendipity, as when I made the decision to sell our home, I soon after received a flyer in the mail from Whitetail Properties. Despite my having reached out to three other realty agencies (including Snowshoe RE/MAX), no one would return my calls nor answer my web inquiries. A single call to Kevin at Whitetail Properties and I had an appointment scheduled for him to come out and view my property. When the day came, Kevin arrived promptly and spoke to my wife and I regarding the steps to sell. Being first time home-sellers, we knew nothing of the process and Kevin's candor and forthrightness was appreciated and he assuaged any fears we had. He then toured our entire house, taking photos of the home and property, and gave us notice on when we could expect the listing to go live. Despite our being multiple states away back in New York, Kevin was extremely communicative and was quick to answer any questions I had. The online listing was beautiful, and he immediately began scheduling viewings. After just three short weeks, our home had an offer, and we closed exactly at the price Kevin predicted. As before, throughout the process Kevin was supportive and helped ground us when facing the unknowns. We absolutely made the correct decision to solicit his help in selling."

" I would like to take this opportunity to advise you and the members of the Whitetail Properties of the wonderful job that Kevin Yokum did in regard to the sale of property of Vernon Wamsley in October 2023. I worked closely with Mr. Yokum, and I must say he was the most professional realtor that I have ever work with, and I have worked with many over the past years. He was very prompt in advising us of any showings, activity, offers that transpired. He was very prompt in returning my calls and texts which was very appreciated. Also, I must add that, he was extremely kind and patient with my brother-in-law and sister who are elderly and that was such a wonderful and kind gesture. Both were very pleased with Mr. Yokum and will be contacting him and Whitetail Properties for any property sales they might have in the future. I would like to add one last thing, I would rate him and Whitetail Properties A+, and express how lucky you are, to have such a dedicated realtor on your staff."

Kevin Yokum helped me with a 1031 exchange and was absolutely great to work with!
