"In the last 5 years we have purchased 3 properties and sold one where Barbara was the agent representing my wife and me. I can honestly say that Barbara was outstanding in every transaction. On the last purchase I actually offered to let Barbara just go to the closing herself and we would be happy, that is how much confidence we have in her. Barbara is not intimidated by anyone. She asks all the right questions, while we sort of "hold back" during our walk through or closings, etc. When the questions are answered she continues to dig deeper until all issues are fully understood. I could go on and on with justification to have Barbara represent you . She is a 100% customer focused agent!"
"I found Barbara after endless searching through reviews, and lots of false leads. Barbara helped us buy our first house, which was a fixer-upper (and is slowly getting more and more awesome each weekend). I want to stress that this was NOT an easy transaction, as there was a lot of back-and-forth, structures that needed to be removed, things that didn't work, etc. before the house could be sold. Barbara handled every issue with a graceful urgency to insure that we could move in to a livable, wonderful home. She followed up on every detail and was extremely organized. I was also impressed that she knows pretty much everyone in town, which ended up being a great advantage to us when some of our people didn't work out. She also advocated for us extremely well and spoke up when part of the deal didn't seem fair to us. She spent so much time with us, making sure we understood every aspect of the sale--which was quite a turn, considering I contacted at least three other realtors who wouldn't even talk to us once they heard the amount we were pre-approved for. Barbara has shown me that she will give full attention and effort to her clients, whether they are big sellers or little buyers like us. That's integrity in my eyes. I will certainly contact her again next time I plan to buy/sell."
"I recently purchased a home with Barbara's help and I couldn't have done it without her. She was wonderful every step of the way - from reminding me what to do when, to helping me negotiate the best possible deal and somehow making what can be a stressful, arduous process even fun occasionally. She knows Saint Augustine, she knows the right people to assist in every area and she's very very good at her job. I would highly recommend Barbara!"
