"Barbara is an amazing agent. She will take the extra time, go the extra mile, find out the details if she doesn’t already know and in most cases she does. If she says she will call you back she does, and promptly. She know the business. Not only buying and selling but she explains the entire process to you. She has great recommendations for local inspectors, tittle agents and the list goes on. You will not be disappointed if you choose to do business with Barbara. Your trust in an agent as respectful as she is will prove to be seamless as possible if buying, selling, or renting."

"When I wanted to sell my home in Boynton Beach, I looked at a mailing that Barbara sent, which I had kept for some reason. I was impressed with her credentials. I called her and became even more impressed. She quickly came to visit and I then knew Barbara would be my agent. Barbara came over and we spoke for a while and worked on listing my home. Barbara kept in touch almost weekly and when I needed to speak to her she was always available. Either be text, phone or email, Barbara was always only minutes away. I was updated weekly about showings and interest. When the market slowed a bit it was me that decided to lower the asking price. Barbara mentioned the search habits of prospective buyers and guided me to the final asking price. When I agreed with her, I lowered the price to the level she advised and a deposit came in with 48 hours. After the papers were signed Barbara still kept in close contact with me the entire time. I left important details to her knowing she would make it all happen. She put me in touch with great professionals to get the deal closed. Most listing brokers fade away a buyer is found. Not Barbara. She was with me every step right up to the closing day. A great broker who became my friend."
by Tony"Barbara was absolutely wonderful throughout the selling process. She helped manage to stage the condo. Additionally, she managed the selling process while we were living out-of-state. Within a couple days of listing, we received two cash offers. I would definitely recommend Barbara to sell your home."
by Rae"Barbara is amazing! Knowledge about the process of purchasing a home as well as selling a home is absolutely above my expectations. We had at first a not so knowledgeable person that sold our place in 3 days. Essentially we would be homeless in 30 days. Never returned a phone call in a timely manner our bids would fall through. Time was running out, a friend offered me Barbara’s card, I called immediately and not expecting a call back right away, but she did. Not only just call me back explained my situation and the delicate process I was in with the other agent. I think she secretly wears a gold belt, Laos, and flys an inviable plane because not only did she take the time to find the right house for us, she assisted the process for the sellers in which we were purchasing the home from so things went smoothly. Not an easy task. To go even further, Barbara knows the process so well, the people in the industry, the loan process, inspections, appraisals, tittle companies, and she keeps informed. A master at the balancing act! Her reputation in the industry is trusted, it shows and its real. She is passionate and loves to share the knowledge. It was a pleasure working not only with Barbara, but everyone she suggested to assist the process along the way."

by Valentina"I don't usually write reviews, but I think Barbara deserves one! I found Barbara in 2015 when I was searching homes at Zillow. As we were living in Virginia at the time and did not the Fort Lauderdale area much, I thought it would be good to have someone that knows the area. Barbara not only knows the area very well but also learns what her clients are looking for, right way. After working with Barbara for 2 years, we finally got our lovely home in Florida! Barbara was always very patient, positive, and available to help us. I highly recommend her."
by Daniela"Barbara was recommended to my husband and I through a family member who purchased their home with her. Barbara worked with us for several months to help us find our dream home. She was always patient with us, never hurrying us up with the process. She understood what we really wanted and was very knowledgeable about different areas and neighborhoods. Even with her busy schedule she was always available to answer any questions. We would highly recommend Barbara for any Real Estate transaction!! Thank you Barbara for everything!!"
by Karolina"Barbara is the ultimate professional. Not only was she knowledgeable in what people are buying and selling, she was equally if not more knowledgeable in what it takes to make the home more attractive to sell quickly and at a higher price. If Barbara makes a suggestion - listen to her - it will pay dividends!"
by Bob & Steve"I am new to Florida (less than 1 year) and had previously been working with a realtor that a friend recommended - which did not work out! I came across Barbara when I read some wonderful reviews on Zillow. I figured what did I have to lose?! This was not my 1st experience purchasing a home, so my expectations were quite high given I had such a great experience previously. Barbara was wonderful to work with. I loved her system of rating properties in order to eliminate or keep on the list. This helped tremendously as I am a very detailed oriented and extremely meticulous. The system helped me to prioritize and really figure out what I wanted and what wasn't a deal breaker. Once the offer was submitted (and negotiations completed), it was smooth sailing. Barbara is very organized, and her response time to my questions is worth noting! She always got back to my emails or texts very quickly. Also, as I did not know all the rules/regs and norms of FL, Barbara was so helpful explaining them all to me as they came up! She was always ensuring that we met all the dates per the contract and there were no hiccups. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!!
