In a real estate industry often driven by volume speed and commissions, Annette Yorks has built something deliberately different. As Owner and Lead Realtor of Annette Yorks Group, operating under Perry Wellington Realty, Yorks has spent more than two decades proving that smaller more focused and more personal service consistently delivers better outcomes for clients.
Serving residential new construction and commercial buyers and sellers across Central Pennsylvania, the Annette Yorks Group operates on a boutique model rooted in one principle. Bigger is not better. One on one service before during and after the transaction matters more than aggressive pricing tactics or unnecessary fees. This approach has positioned the group as a trusted partner for clients navigating one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives.
Yorks journey into real estate began not in an office but in frustration. Twenty four years ago she struggled to sell her own home after working with two different agents who offered little more than a yard sign and an occasional open house. Determined to take control she sold the home herself. That experience shaped her entire philosophy. Real estate clients deserve advocacy education and effort not passivity.
After relocating to State College with her husband Yorks entered the industry from the ground up working first as an assistant then as a buyer agent and later as a solo agent. By 2007 she launched her own business with a clear mission. Be fair. Be honest. Explain the process. Do not price gouge. Treat people with respect.
That mission resonated. Her group quickly rose to the top at Keller Williams Advantage Realty becoming the number one group and earning top agent recognition for several consecutive years. In 2017 the team transitioned to Perry Wellington Realty where growth continued without compromising values. The move marked a new chapter defined by independence consistency and long term client relationships.
What distinguishes the Annette Yorks Group is not just experience but intention. Every transaction is handled with hands on involvement. Behind the scenes coordination negotiation contract management and communication are all managed proactively so clients can focus on decisions rather than stress. The goal is clarity not confusion. Confidence not pressure.
This philosophy has delivered measurable results. In 2025 alone the group closed more than twenty one million dollars in sales exceeding a long standing personal goal Yorks had set for herself. The team has also been recognized with Best of State College Gold awards from 2022 through 2025 and ranked number two in sales at Perry Wellington Realty in 2025.
Recognition however has never been the objective. For Yorks success is defined by how clients feel during and after the process. Real estate is not treated as a transaction but as a partnership. Clients are educated on pricing staging market conditions and timing so decisions are made with understanding rather than emotion. There are no surprise fees no inflated commissions and no pressure driven tactics.
That same philosophy extends beyond transactions and into the community the group serves. Community involvement is led personally by Annette Yorks and supported by the team, reflecting a belief that trust in real estate is built not only through results but through genuine presence. Yorks serves on the board of the Boalsburg Heritage Museum and is President of the Boalsburg Village Historical Society and co chair for A Day in Towne, while her assistant is actively involved in A Day in Towne and other local initiatives that support Boalsburg’s civic life.
When Perry Wellington Realty purchased the office located in the Boalsburg Diamond, the decision was made to become meaningfully engaged in the town rather than simply operate within it. The group contributes time and resources to local efforts including free community music events held on the lawn, annual shred events benefiting the local Lions Club, and ongoing volunteer support for community programs.
That commitment has been recognized through the Melvin Jones Fellow Award, presented in connection with sustained sponsorship of the Lions Club and its sight and service programs. Recognition, however, is not the focus. The priority remains building familiarity, trust, and long term relationships with the people who live and work in the community.
