Yarden Ronen-Van Heerden

Yarden was an absolute pleasure to get to know, and we learned so much from him while navigating a tough market as first-time homebuyers. We started this journey a few years ago, stepped back, and when we were ready to try again, we knew exactly who to call. Yarden answered our many questions with patience and grace, helped level the playing field for us, and always made us feel heard and taken care of. His organization and network of trusted recommendations were exceptional, and he turned what could've been a nerve-wracking experience into one that went off without a hitch. We highly recommend working with Yarden.

When a friend referred Yarden to us, we could only hope that he would come as advertised. As we started getting to know him, we quickly realized that he was that and much more. Our family lived in our house for over 20 years and there was a deep emotional attachment to it. Yarden fully respected this and we never remotely felt that he put his interests above ours. He was truly invested not only in the best possible outcome for the sale, but for our wellbeing throughout the process. That meant the world to us. All the advice he gave us and the various people he put us in contact with (house staging, photographer, etc.) were all top notch and he made sure the process went as smooth as we could have hoped for. Once our house listed, multiple offers were received within days, and it sold far above asking price. While we greatly appreciated his help in securing this for us, it is the caring and thoughtful person that he is which we appreciated above everything else.

Yarden was always with us in our search, always on time and ahead of time and full of honest and useful advice, never rushing us until we found our place, and with plenty of knowledge and good humor.

After two years of searching with a highly specific wish list that would have tested the patience of Mother Theresa — Yarden finally helped us find our home, and I can't recommend him strongly enough. What sets him apart isn't just competence, it's the combination of things that are genuinely hard to find in one person: he's easygoing and has a good humor, which matters a lot during this kind of process. He's thoughtful in the way he listens and remembers what actually matters to you — not just the checklist, but the feel of what you're after. And his communication was exceptional throughout: responsive, clear, never leaving us in the dark or wondering where things stood. Equally important was his ability to help us manage our expectations throughout a long and sometimes discouraging process — he kept us grounded without ever being dismissive of what we were looking for. And when we finally found the right house, he talked us back from overbidding. He had an intuitive and accurate read on what the property was actually worth and helped us find a number that made sense — protecting us from ourselves in the best possible way. But what really got us over the finish line was his skill in navigating the seller side of the equation. He knew how to work with the seller's agent in a way that was smart and strategic without ever feeling heavy-handed, and I genuinely believe it made the difference in us landing this house. We assume these skills would transfer readily to to his abilities as a seller's agent as well. If you're seeking a move in Westchester, Yarden will be the first person I recommend. Full stop.

We had an incredible experience working with Yarden as our house hunting agent. Over the past two years, he patiently helped us check out more than 50 homes, always taking the time to understand what we truly needed and never making us feel rushed or pressured. What really stood out was that Yarden went far beyond just helping us find a house. He helped us understand different neighborhoods, connected us with the local community, and even helped our daughter find her current daycare, which made the transition so much easier for our family. Yarden is knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and genuinely cares about his clients. We always felt that he had our best interests in mind. We are very grateful for his guidance throughout the entire process and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home.

I met Yarden during an open house he hosted for a neighbor’s home sale. His charisma and professionalism was immediately apparent. One year later when I needed a relator for a home sale, I called Yarden without hesitation. From the start Yarden provided the support, expertise, and strategic thinking that achieved results exceeding all expectations. Throughout the entire process, Yarden was always available for help and advice. It was a pleasure working with Yarden, and I highly recommend his services.
