Google Review

When my wife and I found ourselves on an unexpectedly short time line to purchase a home, Barbara’s knowledge, industry savvy, and compassionate guidance secured us not only a beautiful home in the area we wanted safely within our price range, but also kept us from making poor decisions as we dealt with a rapidly shifting, competitive market coupled with the anxiety of being first time home-buyers. Her hands on approach and direct style assure that you’ll never be or even feel alone in what can be a daunting process. Even further, Barbara has assembled a team that matches her expertise—from mortgage brokers to contractors to real estate attorneys, everyone in her contact list mirrors her excellence. You gain not only a premier realtor, but a full team for during and after your home buying process. I absolutely cannot recommend her enough.
