When began expecting our first child, we were excited to start our search for a larger home and hoped to find the perfect house to raise our family without moving too far away.
After speaking with a couple of agents and doing some research online, we
found the perfect real estate agent to help us in this journey. She came highly recommended by one of my clients. She listened carefully to our needs and answered all of our questions. I was impressed that she was very calm and genuinely concerned about meeting our needs. Loreena also provided several hypothetical models to demonstrate what price range we could reasonably afford after we sold our house, reinvested the equity and paid all necessary fees associated with selling/buying.
Another thing Loreena did that was very helpful was she provided a list of things we could do to stage our house before putting it on the market. After preparing our house for sale, Loreena spent a few days taking pictures and videos of our property, inside and out. Her technical skills in this area were impressive. Our house officially went on the market on Thursday. Nearly immediately, we began receiving requests for showings. We were surprised to have FIVE showings scheduled for the first, Saturday, which resulted in the first offer on our house! We couldn’t believe it – our house sold within the first week of putting it on the market!
Loreena also assisted us with purchasing our new home. We looked at many houses but absolutely fell in love with a two story home only eight doors down from the one we sold! Loreena is an exceptional real estate agent and I’ve already begun referring her to our friends and family for their real estate needs.

Wonderful experience in a trying time
Paul and I are happy we chose you to represent us in the sale of our home in Frisco. We want you to know we appreciate your service and how dedicated you are to your clients needs. In the economic down turn, we expected it to take much longer than it did. It was a surprise to us that you sold and closed on our home in two months instead of six. We also appreciated your business attitude all through the process. Thanks a million.

Right about of professionalism & forcefulness
We were transferred to Texas for a job relocation and were looking to buy a house in Frisco. We are experienced buyers and sellers, having moved several times. Loreena & Michael Yeo were recommended by my daughter whose friends had used them. We are so very glad she did.
We were so extremely happy with Loreena & Michael representing us as agents. We wanted someone with the right amount of professionalism but also with the right amount of forcefulness when needed. That was the most important thing for us.
Through no fault of our own or our agents, we had a very difficult mortgage process. Loreena very quickly got involved and established an excellent working relationship with our mortgage broker. They were available at any time for communications via e-mail or phone.
They went above and beyond for us. We would highly recommend Loreena and Michael. The best agents we have ever had! Thank you.

Knowledgeable, genuinely really nice & honest people
We feel completely blessed for finding Loreena and all of the 3:16 team REALTY. Our family moved to the Frisco area just over a year ago because of work. We had never left the city of Houston in our lives, so coming here was a pretty scary thing! Once we settled a bit, we started house hunting.
We came across Loreena and her team doing a search for the best realtors in the Frisco area. Boy were we surprised when we met Loreena for the first time! She was one of the kindest people we have ever met! Not only are she and her team as knowledgeable as can be regarding everything about Frisco, but they are genuinely really nice and honest people. From beginning to end our entire experience was the best it could possibly be and we know we have made good friends from this experience. We will definitely recommend 3:16 team REALTY to anyone who we know is looking to sell or purchase a home in North Texas.
Thank you Michael and Loreena! You guys are the best! If we could give you more stars we would ; ) Thanks for everything!

Made us feel we were the only clients
Loreena is the best!!! My husband and I found her when we were starting our search for our first house and religiously checking out houses. 
We saw her website and looked at how many people have been really pleased working with her. We knew immediately that we wanted to work with her. After searching for a while, we didn’t like any of the existing houses that we see (because we are very picky!). So, we decided to get a new house built from scratch instead. We didn’t know that we could have a realtor to help us out purchasing a new house.
It was the best thing ever happened since we are first-time buyers. Loreena was there all along during the timely process. She patiently gave us advice on considering the good and the bad on every property, answering our never-ending questions, and she even bargained for bonuses with the seller!!! We got a hefty lump for interior upgrades and a free premium land with a greenbelt because of her help. One of the reasons why I have recommended her for buying and selling is because she always made us feel like we were her only clients. She worked tirelessly on our behalf to help us find the perfect house. I highly recommend the 3:16 team REALTY to anyone looking to buy or sell! Thanks Loreena, we love our house!

Contributed greatly to selling our house so fast in a buyers market
Loreena is great. Having tried to sell our house a few years ago and having a horrible experience we were a little 
uneasy of going through the process again. Loreena changed that. She came into our house, gave us her honest opinion on how to price the house to sell and it sold in less than a day! She really helped us to stage our house to sell by giving us a checklist on what items to remove, where to place items, how to landscape, and what needed to be fixed before going on the market. I feel all of this contributed greatly to selling our house so fast in a buyers market.
On the house buying front, Loreena really listened to us and what we wanted in a house. She didn’t try to sell us a house that was too big or too expensive for us, but one that was just perfect for our family.
Loreena was always there throughout the whole process, answering any questions we had. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and how everything works. She definitely put us at ease during the process as she dealt with everything that came up along the way. I highly recommend Loreena as a real estate agent for the selling or buying of your home.
Aeryn & JP Shiffer, Frisco TX
I believe we got the best deal we could have
I just want to thank you again for your help in selling our house. In this tough economy and market, I really didn’t expect to get an offer. 
But you counseled me so well in pricing the house to sell and yet not letting me accept an offer that was too low. I believe we got the best deal we could have. I was so pleased and surprised with what we walked away with.
Also, since I was doing all this without the help of my husband, you held my hand and encouraged me through each step. I felt you were truly concerned for my best interest. I cannot express how much that meant to me.
You went above and beyond-went the extra mile-to make this whole experience smooth and relatively stress free. I am grateful!
Sally & Phillip Barnard, Frisco TX
Loreena makes it ALL so EASY
When I found the house I was looking for in Frisco TX, I was still hesitant because 
I’d lived in the same house for 34 years. I dreaded moving, all the hassle involved with paperwork, logistics, uprooting, the shock of being out of touch with real estate for 34 yrs., etc. I found Loreena’s website and was very impressed. Website had a wealth of information easily accessible for me. So, I called for a showing and everything from the start was pleasant. From the first meeting with her to the actual move, every detail was taken care of by her. If you’re looking for a real estate agent, go to Loreena. She’s tops in my book.
Rob Robinson, Frisco TX
Our agent for life
Loreena is our agent for life. She has gone well beyond the call of duty on all aspects of our home buying experience. 
She graciously and joyfully showed us 30-40 homes over a period of 4 months, all the while enlightening us on pros and cons of every community. After our home purchase, she continues to provide information about filing for homestead exemption, as well the data to help challenge our home valuation for lowering our property taxes (all without us asking). It has been a joy to work with her and we can’t recommend her highly enough.
Louis and Shannon Rakoczy, Allen TX
Knows her market extremely well
We were completely impressed with Loreena. She helped us find and buy a home in Frisco. 
We have very high expectations from a realtor and she surpassed them. Knows her market extremely well, not just the technical market pricing data, but the nuances of all the neighborhoods as well. One of the most responsive and professional persons I’ve met in my entire business career. Very warm personality, and a real pleasure to work with. She was very understanding and patient with us, as we were carrying our newborn around for every house viewing. I’d be highly confident recommending her to a friend for either buying or selling a house.
Ruth & Jerry Meek, Frisco TX
Invaluable resource in our search for our first home
Loreena was an invaluable resource in our search for our first home. 
She was able to answer all our questions so we could understand the entire process. She knew our local market inside and out, and she was very creative in getting the buyer to pay most of the closing costs. She was also very patient as it took us months after seeing dozens of homes, until we found the right one. Not only am I likely to recommend Loreena, but I already have told friends who are needing a Realtor that they have to meet with her.
Brent & Brittany Kalihukaua, McKinney TX
Professional, efficient, knowledgeable
Professional, efficient, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Also ethical and very up 
with information and resources such as builders, specialty workers, insurance, finance. Was also very sensitive to our likes and dislikes and got to know us and helped us find homes with features that we liked – and didn’t show us homes that were not a fit with us and if we went to a home that was not a fit, didn’t waste time looking around. We would use her again for any real estate transaction and we would highly recommend her.
Jeff & Allyson Kwon, Frisco TX
10 out of 10
If I were asked to rate you by someone, I would give you a 10 out of 10. When I first met you back in early November, I was desperate 
to find someone who I could trust and who had experience with Short Sales. I immediately knew you were the one to take me through my journey. You were accountable for all the things you said you would do. You contacted me only when necessary and used your best judgment for all other issues. Although I was financially strapped you came up with great solutions to keep my utility services on throughout the selling process. And, lastly you sold my home just in time for me to avoid a foreclosure. I was truly blessed to have you as my Realtor. Thank you again for carrying me through this journey.
Tonya Haley, Frisco TX
Always on your side
“We began to use Miss Loreena as our Realtor® through one of our best friends’ strong recommendations. 
Now, it turns out that it is one of our best decisions. With her great help and outstanding professional service, we found our investment property with a good price in one month!! We really appreciate all she has done for us. We have to say she is the BEST real estate agent We have ever met. What’s more? You can always count on her because you will surely find out that she is ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE, NOT MONEY’s SIDE! Thanks again, Loreena, for your great service!!”
George Z, Frisco TX
Most importantly, trustworthy
Loreena is hardworking, thorough, knowledgeable & most importantly trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends & family.

Kept me grounded and stress-free throughout the entire process
At the age of 37, I finally decided to take the leap into home ownership. I had been thinking about purchasing a home for years, but always found a reason not to. I think my reasons or excuses for not purchasing a home stemmed from my fear of the unknown.
I was totally clueless about the home buying process, so I did what most first time home buyers do, I got qualified for my loan and started looking for homes via the internet. I found a house I wanted to see, so not knowing any better, I just contacted the agent who posted the listing. Boy was that a mistake. This particular agent did not listen to me when I explained to her what I was looking for in a home, so she basically wasted both my time and hers by showing me houses that I wasn’t interested in. Not only that, the agent wasn’t even familiar with the area I was looking in!
At this point, I was very discouraged. I was searching for homes in the Plano/Frisco area. Almost every time I pulled up a listing, Loreena’s name and website popped up (kudos to Loreena on her marketing efforts!). I clicked on Loreena’s company website one day and started reading her blogs. I couldn’t believe how much valuable information was on her website. If Loreena had this much information on her website, I knew she’d be perfect for a clueless first time home buyer like myself.
I also appreciated that fact that Loreena was not afraid to mix her God First posts with her real estate posts. I contacted Loreena and set up an appointment to view some properties. When I met Loreena and we viewed houses together, I knew she had to be my agent! I was impressed by Loreena’s knowledge of the area and her sincere and honest approach to her job. I don’t know how I knew, but somehow I just knew that she would not steer me wrong. I gave Loreena a list of my requirements for my home. One of which was that I did not want an East/West facing home due to the extreme heat from the Texas sun beaming through windows and the backyard. To my surprise, the next time we toured homes, Loreena assured me that she had previewed the homes to verify that they were North/South facing since that was one of my requirements.
I was so impressed and Loreena continued to impress me throughout my entire home buying experience. Loreena walked me through every step of the process and was in touch with me daily to give me updates. A couple of my faults that I can admit to are that I’m impatient and I get stressed pretty easily. Loreena kept me grounded and stress free throughout the entire process. I think the thing that really made the experience so great is that I truly trusted Loreena. I felt like she always had my best interest in mind and not just her commission. It’s so hard to find people you can trust these days and people who actually care about providing good customer service.
Loreena far exceeded my expectations by providing outstanding customer service. I trusted Loreena from the first day I met her and she proved that my gut feeling was correct. I’m also very happy to say that I not only met an awesome realtor but I gained a friend in the process. Thank you Loreena for making my first home buying experience a very pleasant one! After renting all of these years, I finally feel like I’m truly home.

Insights to understand desires
Having owned a home once before, over 15 years ago, it was in many ways nice to move into a rented townhome, free 
from the burdens of work associated with owning a home. But there was a price to that, most of all the feeling that you don’t really belong there and you are just borrowing.
So, every couple of years, I would look for a home to purchase. However, I had such specific requirements that I never could find a place that came close to meeting my desires. Also, I could not find a realtor that was patient enough to wait out the search process over a long period of time to allow the right house to come onto the market.
It was great to find Loreena – the realtor with the insight to understand my desires to not rush into
just any house and the patience to stick with the endeavor over the course.
That said, I am now happily in a home that, for the most part, met all of my requirements in some fashion. Its wonderful to be living in my OWN place, despite the extra work and expense of home ownership. In many ways, the home has exceeded expectations, especially due to the beautiful deck/creek view out back, which is a constant source of visual beauty. Its nice to be at home now!
Paul Thibodeaux, Dallas TX
Reassuring to have someone we could TRUST
Things are going great! After working on our house for the past week, I think 
we’re even more in love with it than before. The open floorplan downstairs inspires a very plain sort of elegance that reflects the type of life we’re looking forward to maintaining within its walls: simple and happy. We’ve managed to get some things done like cleaning windows, painting vents, and other maintenance items, but we’re waiting to get into the meat of the work after getting water, gas, and electricity turned on this week.
I can’t thank you enough for the hard-work you put in as well as the ethical manner in which you conduct business. It was reassuring to have someone we felt we could trust during a process that was at times both frustrating and confusing. Thanks again!
Bobby & Sarah Reed, The Colony TX
Sell so soon & for more money
We appreciate everything! Loreena was just fantastic. We sold our home much faster than we had planned and for more than we were expecting!
Loreena helped us in so many ways I can hardly begin to tell you. She helped us get top dollar for our home in a down market, she was patient with us as we were deciding on our new home purchase. She helped us from the beginning to the end and is still assisting us, months after he sale. Loreena is just awesome, I promise you will not go wrong if work with her, either selling or buying. Just a great experience! Thank you Loreena!
Becky & Jeff Showman, Frisco TX
According to our requirements
We worked with few Realtors while looking for a house, and what we noticed is that there is no personal touch in any of them. They treat this as a job, and so they didn’t really care for your needs.
And so we were desperate to find someone who will listen to our unique needs and try to address them rather than just bombarding us with the same style houses over and over. And thats how we found Loreena’s web-site. I noticed that her web-site had good and useful information, and so decided to call her.
I think that was the best decision we made for our house. She understood our requirements and started showing houses according to our requirements. And so we knew that we found a right agent finally…But key was that whether she can carry this forward right till the end..
Our case was complex as I was relatively new in this country. But she handled all the hiccups very professionally and just because of her help at various levels, we ended up in a house otherwise we didn’t really see us having a house at least till next year…
Thanks Loreena for all your help and we look forward to seeing you again when we buy our next house..
Hardik & Shraddha Patni, Frisco TX
Pinnacle of Integrity & True Consultant
Loreena is an exceptional agent, and advisor. She is a pinnacle of integrity, and a true consultant, seeking to solve her 
clients challenges with exceptionally sound guidance, detailed analysis, and the utmost professional communication. I would hire Loreena 100 times over and recommend her to my pastor, my grandma or my daughter. I have absolute and complete confidence in Loreena Yeo and expect to see her excel professionally and in leadership capacities for many, many years to come.”
Jared & Jill Still, Plano TX
Surprised us that most of the work was already done…
I had contacted several realtors and several made less than a half-hearted effort to do anything except try to get exclusivity. This is when I found out that Loreena was doing real estate, so I contacted her and made an appointment.
When she arrived for our appointment, we went through the normal preliminary procedures and all was fine. Then she surprised us. She had already done most of the work and only needed to take a few pictures of the inside and determine the price that we would be comfortable asking. She also spent a great deal of time explaining to us how the whole sales process work and what we could expect. All was correct and explained to us in a way that was very pleasant, easy to understand with time for questions and with no condescension at all . We were so impressed that we offered exclusivity.
About a week later, we moved to the east coast and left her in charge of the house. She made sure that all was being taken care of as we had arranged, with contractors. Then she went to work and very soon afterwards she had a buyer for us with many possibilities in their favor she was able to keep them interested in our house and they passes on all of the others. Their realtor was well seasoned and strong willed, but she held her ground and delivered a good price, and a painless sale. If you ask me, there is no better realtor than Loreena, because she puts her heart into the sale of the property and you can sense it and her sincerity.
Eric & Tomoko Quere, Plano TX
Giving the highest recommendation possible!
Loreena is an excellent real estate agent in every aspect. 
She is extremely knowledgeable of the real estate market, exhibits the highest integrity, delivers great results, and is very personable and attentive to our needs. I have extremely high trust in Loreena. I would give Loreena the highest recommendation possible!”
Greg & Julie Teemer, Frisco TX
She made things happen
Well, without Loreena, we will still be pouring money out of our savings account while waiting for a buyer. In today’s economy, we thought we will be sitting on the property for months. 
We did not listen to her advice 2 years ago and regret. Therefore, as soon as our tenant left this time, we have asked Loreena for her help again. With her expertise, she managed to help us sell our house in less than a month on the market. We got our first offer on the 10th day and second offer on the 12th day, finally sold the house on the 14th day on the market. She was very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure that everyone is happy. We are happy that we believed in her and she made things happen. We definitely recommend Loreena and will definitely use her again.”
Laura & CJ Lim, Plano TX
A Professional who knows what she is doing
I worked with Loreena long enough to know that she is a professional who knows what she is doing. She gave us great advices on how to choose our first home. She kept in touch and on top of things all the time, she made our home buying process a lot easier. She is great to work with and I would highly recommend her to my friends.”
Mariana & Mike Lombard, The Colony TX
Obvious choice to represent us
My wife and I, found Loreena through her blogs on ActiveRain. 
Her thoughts on home affordability, sensible home financing strategies, thorough market analysis and contract negotiations, made us avid readers and faithful followers of her blog. So, when it was time to find our first home, she was the obvious choice to represent us as our Realtor. From the very first meeting, Loreena has always been “the professional” -always punctual, prepared and efficient. Being first time home buyers, we are ever grateful for her helpful insights about home financing and handling our first major debt – the mortgage – with extra emphasis on how to get debt free as soon as possible. She helped us find a home most suited to our needs, expertly negotiated our contract and helped us buy our dream home. I would definitely recommend Loreena for all your real estate needs!”
Aarathi & Jag Periasamy, Allen TX
Never dreamed it would sell the first weekend
Loreena, you were so helpful in your advice on how to prepare and stage our home. 
We never dreamed it would sell the first weekend! How can we thank you enough! You’re wonderful. You under-promised and over-delivered! You did what you said you would do and then, went beyond. You were out of the country our first week but we could still reach you daily. Thank you!
Tom & Debbie Milner, McKinney TX
Went above & beyond in my book
We needed to sell our house first, before we could purchase another. Tough task in this current housing market. And even in a Buyers market, both are a challenge. All I can say is, WoW! You far exceeded our expectations on both. Your dedication, knowledge, patience and professionalism is second to none. During the time when we were working with you, you were blessed with a new baby. 
Honestly, I was thrilled for and your husband, but a little concerned you may not be able to maintain your top notch performance in this highly competitive housing market. Well, my concerns quickly faded as I realized, you had more energy than I did! While never compromising the health of your baby, you were always accessible, even if that meant talking to us from your hospital room. We joked all along about signing contracts right up until delivery and well, we did! You are truly committed to your clients. We got a fair price for the sell and found the “perfect” home for our family. You went above and beyond in my book. THANK YOU!!!! The happy memories we make in our new home will always include you and your family!

Loreena and I have worked closely together. I’ve never met a Real Estsate Agent more dedicated to her clients.

Determination & persistence changed my attitude in LIFE
It’s been 6 months since I moved to Dallas. I “thought” about starting my own business way before I moved here.
I just did not take the business plan seriously, but I was hoping the business opportunities would come and knock on my door.
Until Loreena invited me to a photography session for her church, we started talking about my business plan. She shared a lot of her thoughts with me. She has been a true inspiration. Not only did she shared all her experience and knowledge with me, she has been encouraging and motivating me in every possible way.
I have accomplished so much in 3 weeks, she made me realize “dream is just a dream if I dont make it comes true.”
Her determination and persistence have made me changed my attitude NOT only on my business plan, but also my attitude in LIFE.
Thanks, Loreena!
