“Prior to meeting Barbara, we had listed our home for sale for six months with a very prominent Beverly Hills realtor. It was a tough unit to sell as it was on the second floor with a view of another building that was in poor condition. We were frustrated and disappointed that it didn't sell after the six month listing. We had heard of Barbara as she had sold a couple of units in our building. We hired her to be our listing agent and she personally added to and rearranged the staging. She gave the unit a warm inviting touch, that made it much more appealing. The staging that she did helped sell the unit in a short amount of time in a tough market.”
“My mom was elderly and very ill, and still living in my childhood home, which was in poor condition. She didn't want to leave the house which brought her a lot of comfort. Barbara negotiated with a builder for my mom to remain in the house for as long as she needed. I got some upfront money from the builder, which allowed me to pay off the reverse mortgage which was on the property. I was so very grateful for her negotiation skills. She was so professional and experienced, my family and I will be forever grateful to her.”
“We had come from New Jersey and had been renting in LA for about three months when we spoke to Barbara about the prospect of buying a condo. I had a new job, so I was hesitant about buying too soon. For many months, Barbara made sure we got notifications on all the new condos in the areas that we were considering, and when we felt ready, I called her and said “you hung in there with us for all this time. Let's do it.” She recommended a building that she thought we would like in West LA, and the unit she targeted was the one that we fell in love with. Unfortunately, someone had gotten there before us. But she didn't give up. She made calls to other owners in the building and found us a penthouse! It was an even better unit than the original one, and we were thrilled!”
“I was going through a terrible divorce, and moved from Texas to Los Angeles to be near my daughter. Barbara showed me condos in great areas on the west side, and made me feel so much more at ease with my new surroundings. We also had children about the same ages, and we become friendly, even shared holidays together. It was so comforting to have her support and friendship at a time when I needed a friend the most.”
“Several years ago, I was looking for my first condo. I didn't know what I wanted, and Barbara introduced me to the lofts in Marina del Rey, as she thought the vibe would be good for me. I thought they were great! I told her I wanted to make an offer on one of the units we saw the first day of looking, and we had an accepted offer a couple of days later! Since then I have used Barbara for two subsequent transactions. She's very easy to work with and has a lot of local knowledge.”
“I was relocating from Northern Cal and unfamiliar with Los Angeles. Barbara took me to see some nice condos where I wanted to make offers, but she made me understand that there was a new construction building in my price range and convinced me that was the way to go. I bought the brand new unit, loved it, but was transferred back to Northern Cal two years later. She then sold the unit for me and I received over the asking price. I got all of my money back from the first sale, including closing costs, which was remarkable due to the short time I owned it. If it wasn't for her guidance, I probably wouldn't of bought that unit and I wouldn't have gotten back all of my money.”
“I was referred to Barbara by a friend who had bought a home from her. I told her that I needed to see 100 houses before I bought anything, and she said she was up to the task. We found the perfect place after seeing about 20 homes, because she made me understand which condo was the best value and location.”
“I am a real estate developer in Manhattan, and had called on an online ad for a house in LA. I got Barbara on the phone by chance, and she promptly went over there and took photos and videos for me, while I was still in NYC. I had worked with several realtors before her, but she became might my go to Realtor, as she was willing to do the hard work that the others really had never offered to do. I worked with her for many months, and one day she called me, while I was still in NY, and said she finally had the perfect house for me. Because I trusted her, I made the offer sight unseen and flew out for the inspections. I love my home today more than ever.”
“I had my house listed with Coldwell Banker, but was unhappy with my agent. I called the office manager and she recommended Barbara to me. I liked Barbara right away, and she was generous and offered to share the listing with the first agent. She re-marketed the house and sold it the first weekend at the open house.”
“We lived in the same townhouse complex as Barbara, as well as several other real estate agents. Right away, my husband and I agreed that Barbara should be the one to list our house, as we had seen her work hard on our HOA board, and we trusted her. She apparently has great negotiation skills as we had several offers on the house right away, and it sold for more money than any other house had sold for in the complex. We made a great decision.”
"Barbara is a very effective, no-nonsense agent. If you know what property you want, she will get the deal done for you. She has extensive knowledge of the Los Angeles area. If you've heard the saying "there are deal makers and deal breakers" Barbara is definitely the former. She will push for you and has the experience it takes to close the deal on the property you want. I highly recommend her!”
“Barbara found a unit that was marked “under contract” in the MLS. She knew I wanted to live in the building, and had called the other agents who had listings there until one of them told her “this is your lucky day. The current buyer can’t close and I am going to put the unit back on the market.” We scooped it right up. She got me a great deal. She made it so easy!"
“I am a real estate investor who has worked with many agents throughout the years. Barbara is smarter and more hard-working than my other agents had been. I also liked her as a person, which really does matter, as each sale requires a good deal of time spent with the agent. It was a pleasure to work with Barbara.”
