We had the pleasure of working with Barb in selling our Broadview Hts. home. She was there for us every step of the way. She was very thorough and made sure every detail was taken care of. I cannot recommend her enough.

Barb is the absolute best! Our family used Barb to sell our childhood home after the passing of our mother. She patiently explained every step of the process. Barb is trustworthy and very conscientious when representing her clients. She worked late into the evening in order to be sure that every detail was in order. I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling!

Barb is a full service real estate agent. She works at her job 7 days a week, returns all phone calls and emails and locates answers to questions about potential purchase homes and real estate dynamics.
Barb spent a huge amount of time helping us find a home to purchase in the Cleveland area before our move from Florida. We had a number of trips from Florida to search for a home and Bard handled the showing each time we arrived in Cleveland and provided information to us while we were in Florida.
We found Barb's knowledge of construction very helpful. Numerous times she called our attention to construction issues and/or lot concerns...very helpful !!
Another service we found extremely helpful was Barb's knowledge of the real estate business and her push on listing agents to perform on making a possible sale by providing additional information and responses to our questions about potential homes to purchase...very helpful.

Barb was fantastic to work with. As a first-time home buyer, we had no idea what we were getting into or what to look for. Barb took her time, took us to as many houses as wanted to see, and helped us figure out what exactly it was that we wanted in a house. She also helped us learn what to look for when it came to things like water damage in the basement because that was a very important part of a house for us. When it came time to put an offer in on a house, Barb helped walk us through the whole process and gave us some guidance/ideas around how to set up an offer since we had no idea what we were doing at all. She was always there with advice, and was readily available once we started the closing process on the house as well. Barb even went far above and beyond her job and was willing to answer questions well after we had closed on the house and received our keys.

As this was the first time I had to sell a property, I initially thought about selling it on my own. However, since I was not sure what to expect in doing, I decided to consult a realtor for guidance and assistance to handle the sale instead. Barb came highly recommended to me and after meeting with her, I decided that she would be the right person to handle the sale and that she would do a far better job at selling the property than I would ever be able to do. I was right! In fact, within a matter of just a couple of days after the property was listed, it was under contract. Barb's knowledge, experience, guidance and professionalism were extremely helpful as we went through the sale process. From signing the listing agreement to the date of closing (and beyond), she was always available to answer any questions which I had regarding the sale. I truly believe that because of her experience, the sale went smoothly. I am extremely happy with the results and I owe it all to Barb. As she was recommended to me, I would highly recommend her to someone that is looking for an experienced and highly qualified realtor.

I would go out of my way to recommend Barb on the wonderful job she did helping us find our forever home! She even followed up on stuff after we got the keys to the house. If you are looking for someone to help you through understanding the process and have your back throughout Barb is your lady!

Barb was our realtor this year (2019) for the sale of our home. She was very responsive to our phone and email contacts. She has a strong knowledge of the area near our home which helped with the sale. Barb is honest and objective with the details of the home selling process and is very professional in her approach to the sale of the home. She was able to answer all of the many questions we had during the process of selling our home. I have the highest trust in her ability to sell a home. We have now purchased two and sold two homes with Barb and we had a great experience with all of the transactions. We felt we were in good hands at all times. I highly recommend her for the sale or purchase of a home.

Barb was simply outstanding throughout the entire process and has remained helpful after the purchase was completed. Since we were out-of-town buyers, we needed extra assistance in identifying potential homes and Barb was instrumental in finding one for us.

Barb goes above and beyond to make sure you find the right house without any hesitation. I worked with Barb for about 5 months and we located a cute home that fit my needs. If you want an agent who cares about your well-being as a home owner, do NOT pass on her. You will regret not having her work for you.
