"I matched with Barbara in Early June and I closed on my house in August! Barbara was super helpful guiding me through my first home purchase. She was always available to show us houses at times that were convenient to us. Barbara is able to tell you when you see a property that is a great deal or when something is over priced and you should wait. She was incredible at making my first home purchase as smooth as possible. She was able to negotiate a great credit for us after our home inspection and she was there every step of the way and answered every single one of my emails promptly and with the answers i needed. If you are looking for a real estate agent look no further Barbara will help you find the place you want at a price you are willing to pay!"

"Barbara helped me bought a condo around South Loop. She's very nice that she didn't push you. Barbara tries to meet your home searching goals every time, even when you changed your goal, she's very patient. She helped to coordinate different parties involving in the transaction, and always reminds me when to do what. In general Barbara is an excellent realtor." - Iris

"Barbara is an excellent real estate agent who goes above and beyond the call of duty for her clients. One of many examples was her stepping in when I was out of town over the July 4th weekend before a sale; she led the walk-through with our tenant (who moving out prior to sale) and provided detailed feedback. She has deep knowledge not only of local markets in Chicago but also has valuable insight into general trends in real estate and has a network of attorneys and tax specialists. I highly recommend Barbara - you won't regret working with her."

"Barbara is known for her expertise in High Rise condos on the lakefront, but she really came through find is our dream bungalow in the suburbs. Barbara came up with a dream team- lawyer and mortgage broker- to get us in our new (and very first) home in under 30 days. AND we were using the VA loan! She is always available and was so wonderful during the process to us. She negotiated us into our house even though there was a cash offer from someone else. Thank you, Barbara!!! You are awesome!"

Also, she gave me advice in how to deal with the loans even though it was not her job. I will always be thankful for all her help in this tedious process. Happy in my new home that I really wanted.

Yo me siento afortunada de haber tenido a Barbara como un agente de bienes y raices. Muy honesta y diligente en todo. Ella fue puntual en todas los citas que acordamos. Ademas ella me aconsejo en como lidiar con los prestamos a pesar de que no era su tarea. Yo siempre estare agradecida por toda su ayuda en este tedioso proceso. Feliz en mi nueva casa que realmente queria. Muy profesional!"
