Beth Johnson (130 Alfred Road,Milton)

"I want to inform you on how professional and extremely helpful Barbara was from the very beginning until the very end. Luiz was a nervous seller with little English language ability, so she was very patient and kind in explaining all of the listing procedures as well as helping recommend repairman to ready the home for showings. Barbara went out of her way to accommodate Luiz in terms of open houses to cater to his schedule. When one potential sale fell through due to the worry of the flood zone issue, Barbara persevered to make the home more appealing to the second potential buyer by helping Luiz transfer the flood insurance premium over to the new buyer (allowable by the insurance company) and helped the sale go through!
Barbara's dedication to Luiz was second to none. She was professional, thoughtful, hard-working and diligent to make things happen for Luiz. For this, Luiz is ever grateful as am I. We recommend her without reservation to any person looking to sell (or buy) a home as she puts her clients needs first and foremost and with kind professionalism gets the job DONE! Sincerely yours, Yuriko A"

Natalie (Brookline,MA)

"Quite simply, without Barbara I am sure we would not have the wonderful home we have now. We saw it on a Sunday morning and had no paperwork done. By Monday evening the we had our offer accepted against a number of bids.
Professionalism and attention to detail were phenomenal.
I have subsequently recommended Barbara to several work colleagues who have all had similar experiences.
If and when we move in the future, it will be with Barbara guiding us. Andrew M"

"Barbara helped me narrow down my South End condo search and set up time to attend open house viewings. She is an excellent negotiator and worked hard to create a compelling offer to secure favorable purchase terms. She helped suggest resources that streamline the closing process (legal and home inspection teams). It was an absolute pleasure working with Barbara, and I strongly recommend her to anyone in the market looking to sell or purchase a property!"
Oliver Douglas Chen (Boston, MA)

"Due to the pandemic and living many states away from the area, we had to conduct our home search completely remotely. Barbara did a fantastic job taking us on virtual tours of the houses we were interested in via FaceTime. We're also first-time home buyers, and she did an excellent job guiding us through the process, connecting us with all the various resources we needed to complete the transaction. Everyone was highly professional and helpful, and going from open house to closing was a very smooth and quick experience."
