HouseHolders Consultants is a single-principal practice. When you engage HHC, you work with the principal directly — not a rotating team, not a junior associate. One person, accountable to one party: you.
Your architect designs. Your builder builds. HHC represents your interests across both — translating what you want into clear direction, keeping decisions organized, and confirming the result matches what was promised.
Construction and contracts stay where they belong, with your professionals. What HHC adds is a single, steady loyalty to the owner, and the experience to see trouble while it is still small.
Yani Tsakos has spent roughly 35 years on the technical side of residential property — in loss control, home inspection, replacement cost assessment, and environmental consulting — before founding HouseHolders Consultants in 2024 to represent owners through high-end renovation.
That background is deliberate. Years spent examining how buildings fail, and what repairs actually cost, translate directly into recognizing problems on a live project early, framing them plainly, and holding the work to the standard the owner set.
He is based in Westchester County and works with a select number of clients at a time, by referral.
