""Barbara is an exceptional realtor. My family and I move often for work and have had the opportunity to work with a large number of realtors. That said, Barbara is by far one the best realtors we have ever worked with. Barbara did an amazing job in presenting our house, guiding us through the overall process, and helping us receive what I believe was a top offer, especially in a more challenging market. She is insightful, diligent, and thorough in working on the behalf of her clients. I feel we were very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Barbara and would recommend her to anyone. She has exceptional knowledge of the market and realty as a whole, and will be an asset to anyone with whom she works. We are greatly appreciative of Barbara and everything she did for us and I hope you have the opportunity to work with her as well!"" - Dan B.

"" My family and I moved to Austin from Portland in August 2020. Moving isn't that fun, moving in the middle of a pandemic was intense, finding a house in Austin seemed almost impossible. I can't say enough good things about Barbara, I will forever be grateful that we found her at an open house in early 2020. She exceeded my expectations, she knows how to do her job, she's always very well informed. TRUST that she WILL help you find what you are looking for, she will talk you through it and be clear as to what to expect. She's not only an amazing REALTOR but a remarkable trustworthy human being.

""Barbara was amazing. She is very knowledgeable about the market and industry. The fact that we were able to construct a home during the chaos of last year shows her level of expertise.

We highly recommend her!"" - Terri D.

""Barbara is an invaluable resource to have on your team when purchasing real estate! As local Texans, my fiance and I decided we wanted to move further out from central Austin to put down our roots. Our closest friends connected us to Barbara and we could not be more grateful to have met someone we trust. Barbara is professional and warm, building relationships that last a lifetime, we recommend her to all of our closest family and friends."" - Greg L.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
""I was consistently amazed with the level of service provided by Barbara and her team during the process of selling our home in Austin. As soon as we moved out, she sourced and managed the renovation team, even getting involved in the design process to make sure that the home would move quickly post-closing and for top-dollar, without breaking the bank on costs. She was able to offer a 0% financing option for all renovation costs, paid at closing. After renovation she orchestrated one of the most beautiful staging jobs I've seen to date and got very professional photos done, including drone footage. This all happened very rapidly and the house was soon listed. We ended up with multiple offers in the first days after listing and were able to pick our favorite. After the buyer's inspection Barbara quickly used her contacts to find vendors (in a very scarce labor market) to complete all of the items that required tuning up around the house to make the buyers comfortable. She dealt with obstacle after obstacle from the buyers and was able to keep them at the table and make the whole deal work out. It takes a lot of fire and commitment to perform like she did and I'm so glad she was in our court. She heard all of our needs and was wonderful to deal with throughout the process. I'd use her again in a heartbeat."" -Karl & Erica

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
""Our house sold. It sounds very simple when you say those three words, but there really was a lot more. It sold simply, quickly, efficiently and for a fair price All that came with a kind ear and a warm heart. Barbara VanDyke wowed us from the beginning with her ability to see our confusing market and price our home competitively within it. She has a wonderful marketing team that helps her get pictures done well and flyers out quickly. Her open house drew so many favorable viewers that our home sold within 3 days. She is sharp, confident and fun to work with."" - Sarah

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
""Barbara is awesome! She not only helped us find a house to purchase, she provided suggestions to us to help sell our our house in another state and she wasn’t my realtor. Barbara is so passionate with her work and it shows! Thank you, Barbara!"" - Ronda

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
""We are extremely satisfied with Barbara's service, knowledge and professionalism. Barbara made the experience of selling our home stress free. Always quick to respond and ready to answer our questions. Barbara is dedicated to her craft and of course her smile puts you at ease even when things become challenging. We couldn't have been happier in our choice to work with Barbara. We would highly recommend her to family, friends and associates."" - Jorge

She was diligent about staying within budget and the timelines we needed to find a home. Absolute rockstar!"" - Chris

""We were looking for purchasing a home in Austin area and used Barbara as our buyer agent. We are very happy with the experience and will definitely working with her again.Why we liked working with Barbara (and her assistant, Sierrah):* Barbara knows what we are looking for. During initial phone calls, Barbara really try to understand what we are looking for and use that as criteria to help us looking for homes. The communication was great and we feel we aligned very well on the requirement and criteria.*Barbara is very familiar with Austin area and she is very resourceful. We have been looking for homes on Redfin for months on our own. Then Barbara recommended several homes to us which we overlooked initially but end up better than what we found by ourselves. She also have a great relationship with other agent so was able to get insight before home get onto market. Considering the competitive market at this moment, it really helped us to eventually get the home we bought. *Barbara’s assistant, Sierrah is amazing. As a team, Barbara and Sierrah were always available to us and would always promptly respond to email / calls / texts. Sierrah is very dedicated, organized and on top of everything. They are both extreme patient and responsive, not only before the sell, also after we have questions after the sell.What you look for when you choose a realtor may be different for everyone, but we can vouch that with Barbara you will get someone who will do her best to help you sell/buy your home."" - ET

""We listed our home for sale after we had moved as we had kids and two dogs. So we really needed a realtor who could keep a regular eye on our house as well as coordinate staging, cleaning and repairs as needed. Barbara was terrific - she was very responsive to our needs and went out to the house every few days in addition to open houses. She also coordinated staging, regular cleaning, painting as well as repairs that were agreed on with the buyers as part of the negotiation process. She has a complete roster of home repair professionals that can be used. Since this was also a corporate relocation she was very good at all the additional paperwork and dealing with the 3rd party relocation company."" - Parth
