Long & Foster Real Estate welcomes Yvette Timberlake to its Lake Gaston office in Bracey, Virginia. Timberlake will specialize in working with homebuyers and sellers.

“We are very excited and fortunate to have Yvette join our team of highly trained professionals,” said Nancy Steinke, manager of the Lake Gaston office. “The combination of Long & Foster and Yvette’s unique skills and knowledge will no doubt provide the highest level of service to local buyers and sellers.”

Timberlake is participating in Long & Foster’s Success Path program, which offers extensive training and resources for agents at any stage of their career. The program’s curriculum includes tools for agents to build their business, mentor-style programs, techniques for prospecting and working with buyers and sellers, skills for negotiating and more. Timberlake holds membership in the Roanoke Valley Lake Gaston Association of Realtors.

“When I started interviewing brokers before passing my real estate exam, I immediately contacted Long & Foster because of their prestige in the rural community I live in,” said Timberlake. “Upon talking to Nancy Steinke, we immediately connected and my interest grew to become a part of the team and push forward to pass the exam and become an agent.  I am more than honored to work alongside some of the names I have seen listed on real estate signs in the area. I believe Long & Foster will be my home for years to come, and am excited to grow with the team.”

“We’re pleased to announce Yvette has joined the Long & Foster family,” said Dawn Bradley, senior vice president and regional manager of Long & Foster’s Richmond region. “We welcome Yvette to Long & Foster, a company that provides the best training and tools for agents to exceed their client’s expectations.”

Timberlake was born and raised in the Lake Gaston/Mecklenburg County and is very familiar with the area. Timberlake attended Southside Virginia Community College and finished her degree at Georgia State University. Timberlake currently resides in Chase City, Virginia and loves drag racing, fast cars, fishing, traveling, and enjoys spending time with her family every chance she gets.
