Client Testimonials

  What Do Barbara’s Clients Say…


"Selling our mountain home with another agent has been quite different than our experience with you.  We really appreciate your experience, professionalism and expertise during the sale of both of our previous homes and the purchase of our current one.  We always knew you were great, now we know just how great.”

Bill and Cindy Vowell, Seller/Buyer

 

“ Carolyn and I sincerely thank you for helping us locate and purchase our new home.  Now that we are settled, we both realize that without your help our transition to a smaller home might never have been accomplished.  We thank you most of all for your patience and understanding of our needs.  You met our every expectation and exceeded our desires with your attention to detail and your professionalism.  We value you as a human being, a friend and “Our Realtor”.

John and Carolyn Hunt, Buyer

 

“Barbara was extremely dependable, very insightful when it came to understanding what we wanted and needed, warm and caring and ensured that we were treated fairly by all parties.  She really fought for us and was genuinely excited for us when we closed our purchase.  Absolutely, we couldn’t have asked for better representation!”

Brian and Marla Guensler, Buyer

 

“Barbara did a good job helping us to find the right house, then following through until the transaction was closed.  We couldn’t have done it without her.

Jeff and Tami Van Vliet , Buyer

 

 “Even in a slow market, our house sold comparatively quickly and we were able to make the transition within the time frame that we had planned.  Your expert advice in preparing the house for sale had a lot to do with the ultimate speed of the sale.”

Demetrius and Yvonne Tsaras , Seller

 

“We were impressed with your marketing plan and the way you presented it.  It gave us an immediate overview of the market in this area.  It was obvious you had done your homework.  We were not quite prepared for all that must be done to sell a home in California - disclosures, inspections, etc.  You followed through with dispatch on each and every item, returned every call promptly, and took the initiative where needed.  And you did it all with a smile and genuine concern for us.  You are one of the most pleasant professionals we have ever dealt with.”

Kay and Ameila Anderson , Seller

 

“The information presented during your initial Marketing Proposal regarding the selling of our home proved to be accurate.  The house sold for what you said it would, your follow up was excellent and your experience in negotiation substantiates the adage ‘effort equals results’.  In our opinion, your performance went above and beyond the call of service by illustrating a ‘commitment to Excellence’.

Chuck and Ann Lehr , Seller

 

“With less than 3 months prior to our relocation to Germany  you managed to find a buyer just in time for us to leave without a bundle of worries.  From thorough market analysis and staging advice to a series of ‘open house’ showings, from experts on soil and drainage conditions to contractors and handymen to tackle contingencies, from dealing with a third party to the handling of open bills even after our departure, you helped us in many ways.  We could not have done without you.  Your professionalism and calmness contributed considerably to our confidence in a successful transfer, particularly in situations of impatience and nervousness.  Thank you very much.”

Rainier and Renate Haerten , Seller

 

“During our recent home purchase, you managed to demonstrate all of the sales skills we value and helped make our adjustment to new surroundings as easy as could be expected.  While we were occupied with other matters, your attention to detail kept things moving smoothly forward.  In retrospect and without question, we could not have selected a more qualified, or nicer person to deal with and for that, we thank you.

Michael and Susan Smith , Buyer

 

“Buying a home can be a stressful experience, however working with Barbara was enjoyable.  She was thorough, efficient, and very communicative with us throughout the transaction.  She was also very knowledgeable about law and finance.  We would heartily recommend her to anyone needing real estate services.

Jeff and Jell Ehorn , Buyer

 

“We wanted to express our appreciation for your competent, professional management of the sale of our rental property.  Your advice and suggestions for renovating and recommending sources to accomplish the work were especially helpful.  Thank you again, Barbara, we could have not been more satisfied.”

Allen and Judy Jensen , Seller

 

“We came to you on friend’s recommendation with a request to find us a house in the Danville/San Ramon area.  Our friend told us that you knew the area, were very sharp and if there was one person he would suggest it would be you.  It sounded too good to be true, but from the very start your professional manner put us at ease.  Once we found a home you didn’t stop helping.  You stayed with us right through the closing and beyond.  We can’t express how happy we are with our new home and all the help you continue to provide.”

Jeffrey Zuckor and Virginia Cavaioli , Buyer

 

“Being in Commercial Real Estate myself, I know that the compensation is not always commensurate with the time spent on any one transaction. Our purchase was at best, a problem piece of property.  Without your extra effort and enduring patience, the deal would never have closed.

Robert Enea , Buyer

 

“You are dedicated to a high degree of service and follow the principles of the “Golden Rule” when using your experience to guide, assist and negotiate.  You are, without a question, honest and reliable, which are two key characteristics to seek in a realtor.”

David Simmons , Buyer

 

“We really appreciated your ability to accurately estimate market value and your aggressiveness in showing and quickly selling our home.  Most of all however, it was your kindness and personal interest given to us that we are most thankful.

Richard and Patricia Sorg , Seller

 

“Barbara was a pleasure to work with – before, during, and after we moved into our new home.  She is very professional and handled every question we had.  We will enthusiastically refer her to everyone we know.”

Mark and Susan Friedman , Buyer

 

We thought our home was beautiful, however after Barbara’s recommendations and the professional stager, our home was gorgeous!  Her expertise in preparing the home for market and her negotiating skills really make a difference in our bottom line.  Now we understand the importance of having a professional, experienced  agent looking out for your interests.  Thank you, Barbara
