Experienced professionals dedicated to guiding you through every step of your real estate journey with care.

Yara Roussos

Broker/Owner

Realtor since 1986, Put my experience to work for you…

I believe in going that extra mile for those I represent. For example, I once flew with an elderly client all the way to Omaha Nebraska so that she could be re-united with her family after we closed on her home here in NY. She had never flown before, and her family was unable to come and get her. Just the thought of her getting on that plane caused her tremendous stress, so, I sat beside her and held her hand as the plane took off and delivered her to her family… that is just one example of what makes me more than just a Realtor.

I love what I do, it is such a big part of my life. I know how it feels to live in a home that brings you joy, and I wish the same to all my clients. That is my secret for me having survived this business for so many years… that and simply returning phone calls, staying connected way beyond the closing table. My clients know they can count on me for information on how to live their best life in the Hudson Valley area and that is why they keep referring business back to me, year after year.

Yara is a fantastic Real Estate Agent!! She is patient, kind, and above all experienced. My family and I had a wonderful time being guided by her expertise. I would recommend her to my family and friends. When my family and I weren’t finding the right house or were passed over for other buyers, she offered encouraging words and a positive attitude. She stayed with us through out the entire journey and has proven to be an angel sent from heaven. Thank you Yara!!!

Yara is an incredible asset to anyone buying or selling in the area. She brings tremendous experience, can easily navigate the unique ins and outs of NY real estate, (ex. navigating the 60+ day closing process) and brings insightful tactics to the negotiation process (ex. holding certain considerations in escrow to be returned to seller if issues don't appear in a given timeframe). Above all, she's kind, thoughtful and compassionate. Thank you for all your help Yara.

Ms Roussos was very responsive to our needs in finding our new home as well as selling the home we lived in for the last 41 years. She helped ease the stress during the showing of our two family home while we still lived there. She explained the entire procedures of both selling and buying a home and assisted us with her expertise in both situations to get our best selling offer and best buying offer. She offered tips on what to look for in purchasing a home since this was our first home purchase. I would highly recommend Ms. Russo for any real estate need.

Lauren Donati

Buyer’s Agent

Lauren has spent the past few years focusing on what it truly means to be a “people person” in the real estate industry. She has always put her clients first and values the many strong friendships that have formed out of her compassion and respect for those she represents. These lasting relationships which have formed are evidence of both her strong work ethic and her ability to work with and address client concerns:

“I believe listening to people is my strongest skill. Making the client feel like their concerns are of the highest importance to me as their Realtor—ensuring them that their worries can be addressed is a part of my job. It comes down to listening, always. Listening and responding appropriately.”

Lauren’s personable touch to her real estate process has made her into a real powerhouse Realtor for Homes by Yara Realty Group. Her deep compassion for her clients and her willingness to listen and respond to her clients’ anxieties have led to her success throughout the Orange County region.

She believes that being a Realtor is more then just about putting a sign in the front yard, or opening a door—it’s about working smart, putting in the time, advertising to the right audience, educating her clients, helping them to navigate in this complicated ever changing real estate market and doing what-ever is necessary to close the deal.”

Lauren did an outstanding job helping me purchase my first home. Lauren is very knowledgeable in real estate and not only looked out for me, but taught me so much about the home buying process. Lauren was able to get a sense of what I was looking for in a home and made every effort to identify homes that met my requirements. Lauren is very responsive and flexible with her schedule. Her dedication is admirable and she is excellent at her job. She will ensure that you are getting your money's worth. If you are looking for a realtor that is transparent, dedicated, flexible and hardworking, Lauren is the realtor for you.

Lauren helped us find the right fit for a place to live by doing her research as to the availability of homes that were appropriate for us! She spent many hours “behind the scenes” looking for a good fit for our family! Our needs were a bit of a challenge to fit a traditional home style but perseverance pays off! Lauren was very diligent and timely as well as super friendly! She has a good eye for design and style and what’s a good fit! I would highly recommend Lauren as she will work hard to find your home that you will treasure!
