About Yvonne
I'm Yvonne Tovar, a Monterey County REALTOR® with eXp Realty — but real estate is only one part of who I am. I'm also a wife, mom, proud Nani, and dog mom to my Border Collie, Abby, and my Bichon, Chanel.
I genuinely love helping people through the process of buying and selling a home. I know these aren't just transactions — they're major life moments. My approach is centered on communication, patience, honesty, and making sure my clients feel supported and informed from beginning to end. Whether you're purchasing your first home, selling a longtime family property, investing, or making your next move, I want you to feel like you have someone in your corner every step of the way.
When I'm not working with clients, you'll usually find me staying active and working out, spending time with my family and dogs, enjoying one of our beautiful local wineries, or doing something related to interior design. I've always had a passion for creating beautiful spaces, which naturally goes hand-in-hand with my love of homes and real estate.
Living and working in the Monterey County area has given me an even greater appreciation for everything this community has to offer — from our coastline and incredible neighborhoods to the food, wineries, architecture, and lifestyle that make this area so special.
Communication
You'll always know where things stand, every step of the way.
Patience
Big decisions take time — I never rush you toward one.
Honesty
Straightforward advice, even when it isn't what you hoped to hear.
Support
Someone genuinely in your corner from offer to closing day.
"For me, real estate is about more than finding the right property. It's about people, relationships, lifestyle, and helping my clients find a place that truly feels like home."
