-Kathy Yuzwa 7-19-23 

Sold and Bought Multiple Properties Barb is a fantastic, professional real estate agent. Don't get caught up by the name of the agency....it is the realtor who does the job. Barb puts in the time and effort to get the job done, including the tips like having a shoe protector at the door, a bowl of candy on a tray to place showing realtors cards and taking professional pictures. It all makes a difference. She works closely with lenders and title companies and homeowner associations to keep the transactions flowing timely. Give Barb a call you will be pleased.

Wonderful agent! Barbara is very knowledgeable regarding real estate. She knew exactly what we needed to do to prepare our home for sale. The process from start to finish was smooth and very easy. Highly recommend!


-Ginny Maglionico 5-23-23

A second excellent experience. Our first experience with Barbara went so smoothly we just had to call her when it was time to sell again. She helped us navigate a changing market and worked to keep us involved every step of the way. If we were still in Ohio, I’d hire her again in a heartbeat. 


-Chuck & Lynn Rhodes 11-28-22

Exceeded our expectations Barbara was a true professional. She always communicated with us whenever there was a concern and always represented our interests first and foremost. She gave us great guidance based on her experience and we felt very comfortable and confident in her abilities to sell our home. We have referred her to our neighbor and would refer her to anyone looking for a great realtor that is a pleasure doing business with. We appreciated all of her hard work and expertise!


-Ed & Brandi Clay 11-10-22 

Best realtor you could ever ask for Barb is one of the most savvy real estate agents you can find. She has so many years of experience, so many connections and way, way above average intellect on the entire real estate market. All that combined helped us with every step of the way, and we would not of wanted any other real estate agent to help us make this major life decision. She is incredibly personable, loving, and most importantly to us, she was honest/realistic. Finding a real estate who will be straightforward with you, and give you all the details you will ever need to make a decision is so invaluable. She is what people should aim to be like. I never had to worry about any detail when it came to the home buying process, because I knew at the end of the day, she was going to fight for us and make sure we got exactly what we wanted. If you don’t use Barb as your realtor, you’re not doing it right. She is all you could ever ask for.

My experience with Barbara was AMAZING! I can not say enough good things about my experience with Barb as my realtor. She was patient, helpful, and honest. With moving to a new area she helped guide me through where the market is at, looking at many houses together and getting me a home with all my must-haves. Even after closing as I am new to moving to the area she has been great to help me find local contractors and make sure I am taken care of. I would definitely recommend Barb to my friends and family.

House sale

I was very pleased with everything that took place in the selling of my house. Barbara was the best when it came to keeping me updated, she is very knowledgeable about all things dealing with selling. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their property. It was bittersweet having to sell my home of 40 years. Barbara understood my feelings and was right there to help me get through this process. She was more like a friend. If I ever decide to move again I will definitely be calling her.
