Yolanda Hernández was born in Galveston and grew up in Houston. She earned an Associate's Degree in Business Management from Houston Community College and a Bachelor's Degree in Business from Le Tourneau University. She worked for 20 years for a major energy company. But her passion has always been real estate. As a teenager, her favorite thing to do was get the Sunday paper, take out the homes section, spread it out on the kitchen floor and visualize all the rooms and the layout. To date, she still loves showing homes to clients and hosting open houses. She also loves the challenges real estate brings and how helping her clients find a home brings them happiness. In her free time she enjoys running, going to the gym, and spending time with her husband Lupe and their dog Yogi.
