Yip Premier Real Estate, LLC

We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Christine Wells as our realtor. She went above and beyond in every way, touring well over a hundred homes with us without ever showing frustration or impatience, even though we know we were very particular clients. Christine was always kind, sweet, and professional, with no hidden agendas — she truly wanted us to find the perfect home. She made herself available at all hours and frequently rearranged her schedule so we could see new listings quickly. She is always a pleasure to talk to and makes home shopping enjoyable! She’s also an outstanding negotiator. We were up against three other offers on the home we bought, and thanks to Christine’s skill, our offer was accepted. Even after going under contract, she continued to negotiate on our behalf and secured a better price and terms. To top it all off, Christine surprised us with the most thoughtful gift basket after closing, which was such a sweet and personal touch. Christine genuinely works for her clients and puts their best interests first. We absolutely loved working with her and firmly believe there isn’t a better realtor out there. Highly recommend!

From Day 1, Karen was a very professional realtor. She carried herself with the confidence and motivation needed to make us feel really good about using her for selling our home. During the entire process, Karen kept us well informed with what was taking place, what was needed, and walked us through next steps. She paid attention to detail and was very responsive to any questions we had. Her suggestions to help sell our home were invaluable because she truly knows what selling a home entails. She was available 24/7, even on the weekends. Karen's staff was very professional and kept me updated with changes, as well as, any documents that needed signatures. I would definitely recommend Karen Yip to my family, friends, and anyone with realtor needs. Thank you Karen for such a smooth transition and we look forward to using you again.

Fantastic First-Time Home Buying Experience with Christine Wells As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the process, but Christine Wells made everything smooth and stress-free. She was extremely patient and took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, helping me find a beautiful home in downtown Columbia that met all my needs. Christine is an excellent negotiator. We were up against multiple offers, yet thanks to her expertise, we secured the home without having to offer significantly more. She also negotiated well after the inspection to ensure we got a great deal. She provided trusted contacts for future home projects and even helped me get a great discount on home insurance, saving me significant money. Christine is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about her clients. We’re so happy in our new home, and I’ll definitely be recommending Christine to any friends or family searching for a home. She’s truly a fantastic realtor!

My Realtor Natalie professionalism and knowledge of listing a property was truly an excellent experience. The property sold in a short span of time and the closing arrangements were flawlessly executed to the letter of the law. I will highly recommend Natalie to my family and friends.

This review is for Christine Wells… She has been my realtor for some time even when I decided to rent out my house… She is really great with communication..really good with keeping me in the loop and I do feel like she has went above and beyond with not only this process but even when I was renting out my house… After renting I chose to sell my house. I am so grateful for her..My house was able to sell fast!! I recommend Christine Wells if you are looking for a realtor!!

I worked with Karen Yip to sell my house. Karen is the best agent you could ever work with. She was very professional, kind and caring. I moved out of state and needed to sell my house as soon as possible. I could tell right away that my urgency to sell the house became Karen's urgency which was very appreciative. Every 3-4 wks we had follow up calls to share status. The market was slower and we had to work against the newly built homes. Despite of all the obstacles we had to deal with, Karen was always very positive. Karen was very proactive and always ahead of me. She always shared her new ideas including strategies. My house was vacant during winter and Karen always had someone to check our house after storm or cold weather to confirm everything was good. I wish I could have Karen every time I sell/buy a house. I would give her 10 stars, if I could. THANK YOU, KAREN! If you don't have Karen as your agent, you already made a wrong decision.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience with our realtor, Christine Wells! We are first time home buyers and she was so patient and willing to answer any questions we had. She was fantastic with communication, always giving quick responses and answering calls as needed. We always felt like she had our best interest and advocated for us. Christine was willing to take us out of our comfort zone, and because of that we ended up closing on a beautiful house that we love!

I love Karen and her team! We are moving from out of state and she has made the process of buying so easy. She’s very knowledgeable about the market and always goes the extra step to provide very detailed information to make it easier on you to make your decisions. She’s extremely busy but she always makes herself available and is usually thinking ahead to make sure any obstacles are addressed before they arise. I always had the information I needed and she is so helpful. When we did virtual tours I was offered videos if I wanted something to watch to refer back. She’s always the sweetest, most genuine person ever so you can’t go wrong working with her and the rest of the team. I can’t recommend her enough.

Kimberly Shumpert has worked with my needs of searching homes in Columbia and selling in Charleston. Not an easy task, a juggling act, as my desires and needs change regularly. I was never totally sure with mixed emotions with the loss of a family member, needing to move closer to 3 families who had just moved to Columbia and not wanting to leave my comfort zone. She is a compassionate & helpful realtor full of desire to help in every way possible. Kim shares her assuring thoughts regularly. A great communicator!! She has a passion for real estate beyond compare. She will give you the very best she has to offer! Awesome! Thanks so much. So glad I met Kim while searching on internet for a home in Columbia, SC

Not only do we highly recommend Yip Premier Real Estate for your home buying or selling needs, we also highly recommend Yip Property Management for your rental property needs as well. Karen Yip's property management team always had a quick response whenever we had a need or a question regarding the house we were renting. They have quality rentals as well. They are a local company. We wouldn't go to any other property management company. We highly recommend them.

Our realtor Jim H. Was and is amazing! He has been super helpful throughout the entire closing process and since, assisting with ongoing concerns. I highly recommend YIP AND JIM for your home buying needs!!!
