Debra Yates

I started in the real estate industry in 1993 working at a local title company and becoming a Senior Title Offer and Manager. In 2009 I followed my dream and acquired my real estate license. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, the Montana Association of Realtors, and the Billings Association of Realtors. It is now my 13th year and I enjoy collaborating with the local community while welcoming new people into the area around the Bull Mountains.

I have been very active in the Roundup, MT, community including serving as President of the Roundup Chamber of Commerce. It is my pleasure to put on events and to work at the local museum. In my spare time, I love spending time with my five grandchildren going camping, fishing, boating, riding 4wheelers, and traveling.

As a former member of the Army Reserves and a Military Police Officer in the California National Guard, I have a level of utmost respect for our veterans and welcome active and former VA buyers, sellers, and relocation service members to contact me for their real estate needs.

So, whether you are looking for land, a home, a cabin on acreage or hunting grounds, I am always available to help you find your “Dream Home”. Call me today!

Hear from some of my satisfied clients

Kathy and Gary are wonders. They made the buying process simple as they are experts in the market and the buying process and were able to answer any and all of our questions with easy to understand information. Very communicative throughout the entire process. They are both incredibly friendly, well connected with are home buying resources, and very flexible to the needs of their clients. It is without hesitation that I recommend Kathy and Gary for you home buying and selling needs.

Kathy recently helped my husband and I market and sell our first home purchased as a family. Kathy seamlessly helped us navigate what is generally a stressful process. She was very responsive and knowledgeable every step of the way. We could not have gotten through this process without her. I highly recommend anyone looking to sell or buy in the Billings area give Kathy a call.

I really appreciated your concern for my well being during our negotiations for selling my house. You made it very easy and painless for my lack of knowledge about these things. Thank you for all of your great help!

Kathy and Gary represented us both as sellers and buyers. She and Gary did an excellent job explaining our options in purchasing and selling our properties. We relied on their advice which in the end benefited our interests. Our home sold within the first hour in addition to several backup offers. She also recommended an offer when we purchased our new home, which to our surprise was accepted within one day. I believe that our success in selling and purchasing our properties is due to their knowledge of the real estate market. We would recommend Kathy and Gary to handle any of your real estate needs.

Kathy Cashmore and Gary Lesh worked expertly to sell our Mom’s house quickly and for the best price. She negotiated an added earnest money compensation when a buyer opted out of the buy/sell at the last minute. They then turned around and sold the house the next day for a better price! Kathy has the ability to listen to the needs of the client but has a wonderful way of explaining when things need to be done a certain way for the best legal and financial outcomes. The marketing of the home was professional and widespread with all advertising covered and considered. Kathy and Gary teamed every aspect of the sale with dedication and commitment. We will highly recommend her company to everyone we know!! Kevin & Denise Anders

We can’t recommend Kathy Cashmore and Gary Lesch enough. They are a knowledge, responsive and caring. They went above and beyond to help us find and negotiate our real estate purchase. We moved from out-of-state and feel like we made two wonderful new friends in MT.

“I really appreciate Kathy Cashmore’s work. She works fast at “lightening speed.” She found a buyer fast. Got the home inspection done fast. She just never rested one minute. Also, what I appreciated was the fact that she kept me informed every step of the way with many phone calls, many emails, and many texts.” Without a doubt she deserves nothing less than a 5 star rating.

Kathy made the sale of our rental so simple! She contacted us with every question the buyers had and sent any papers they requested immediately. Kathy always returned our phone calls and never left us hanging wondering what was going on with the sale. Our place was sold in weeks and we closed without a hitch. We would recommend Kathy to anyone wanting a cooperative Realtor with attention to detail.

Kathy was my agent when I sold my rental property. She worked well with my renters and with people who were interested in my property. We dealt with many different aspects during this transaction and her flexibility and knowledge was indispensable.

This is my second time working with Kathy Cashmore while purchasing a home. The first time Kathy found my first perfect home was 15 years ago. She just recently helped me find my second home which is once again perfect and everything I was looking for. What I enjoy most about Kathy is that she takes the time to listen to what you want and finds homes on the market that fit your likes and budget. She is very good at getting you into a house right away for a walk through and is very timely on getting back to you. If there are any questions or concerns about the house she is on top of getting answers, even if it means getting an engineer or other appraiser into the house. Kathy is not just a good realtor but also a good friend. She makes sure things are as they should be in the house before and after the purchase. She is caring and takes the time to know you as a person instead of as a number. I would not turn to anyone else except for Kathy for all of my home hunting needs.

Kathy is AWESOME to work with. She is on your side the whole time. She takes the time to get to know what you are looking for and she is very good at finding what you are looking for. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate business, she knows how to negotiate very well. Highly recommend Kathy Cashmore!

Kathy went above and beyond! She always told me not to worry and that she would take care of whatever the issue, and she did! I had a very good experience buying a house thanks to her!

We listed our home around the time that multiple listings in the $400k- $500k range came onto the market. Even though the local market (in that range) had become saturated, Kathy would have numerous open houses, paid advertising, and use her marketing knowledge to bring us a fantastic offer which we accepted. We could not have been more happy with the service she provided.
