We were facing a short-notice PCS transfer to another state with the Army. After seeing Barb's videos on YouTube about selling a home we know Barb was the only choice for us. Barb's marketing was able to get us multiple offers over asking price the first weekend. All went as planned we were able to buy our new home just days after Barb sold our home.

Jennifer Stuart

Barb is very professional, honest and reliable. She has sold two houses for us and exceeded our expectations each time. I have found that I can rely on her completely for all aspects of the paperwork/documents that selling or buying a house entails. Both of our houses sold within days of being listed with Barb. She does an excellent job of marketing and promotion.

Mike Corbett

Barb and her team are exceptional to work with!

Tammy Becker

Barb and her team made selling our Strawberry Fields condo an easy and enjoyable experience. Our home sold quickly for $18,500 more than our asking price. Barb runs an impressively well managed company. I mean it. You don't see such excellence very often, regardless of the type or size of business. Communication, marketing, timeliness - all met high standards. If you are considering selling your home, call the Barb Schlinker team. Experience for yourself the professionalism that comes from integrity and character. - Doug & Linda

Barb Schlinker and her great team were very helpful in getting us ready to go on the market and she has amazing marketing that attracts the buyers. She got a huge crowd of buyers to view our home and we were able to select the best buyer for our home. She not only sold our home for $50,000 over asking price the first weekend but she was able to negotiate for us to stay in the home for weeks after closing to accommodate a smooth moving process. We are so thankful we hired Barb Schlinker and her team at Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty.

Lance & Shirley

After hearing Barbs radio ads and looking at her website, it was obvious Barb and her team has the best system for selling our home. Not only did she sell it for full asking price in just 6 days, but she made sure our home has a warranty for the buyer for 1 year after closing. It was so helpful that her team took care of a final move-out clean. It helped us easily plan our move and ensured the family enjoyed a stress-free move. We highly recommend Barb and her team to sell your home. Dale & Krystal

Krystal Wager

By the time I put my home on the market, I was already moving to another state. Barb not only sold my Peyton home for $40,000 over asking price. But it was a great comfort for me to know that Barb and her team handled all the things that needed to be done to close the sale including managing some needed repairs. I highly recommend The Barb Schlinker Team to sell your home." Jessica

Jessica Montoya

We know many real estate agents and our experience with Barb Schlinker is by far the best! She is very personable and professional. True to her commitment, she and her team were always very responsive and timely in answering any questions or concerns we had. She not only commanded 10 offers in a weakening real estate market but she was able to help us negotiate for the top dollar and get the most money for our Mom's home. Pete & Irene

Peter Knudsen

Barb and her team were very easy to work with. They did an awesome job! We were under the gun for getting our house sold quickly, and Barb did just that. We got an offer after just one open house! Thanks again, Barb, for all your hard work and assistance. You and your team are amazing!

Lance Hartman

This was certainly my most pleasant real estate experience. Honestly Barb and her team are exceptional. Any question or concern was taken care of and she sold for 12% over asking price. I wish Barb worked where I’m moving so that I could hire her again. This is coming from someone who has purchased several homes. By far she is the best that I have worked with.

C K

This was, by far the best experience we have ever had selling a home. We decided to move back closer to family and needed to sell our mountain home in Crystal Park. Barb and her team were amazing and made the entire process so easy. She sold our home in just a few weeks for top dollar while we were away much of the time. We highly recommend Barb Schlinker and her entire Team!

David and Rumiko Porter

Barb was able to sell our home quickly at full asking price soon after it went on the market. It was so refreshing to have an agent and a great team that was able to get us to closing right on time with very little hassle. We appreciate that they took care of all the details so we could focus on moving to our next home." - Ben and Judy Devries

Ben Devries

When the time comes for me to sell I will be contacting Barb. She personally contacted me with information and the Comps necessary to appeal the out of line assessment of my house. Thank you so much!!!

Philip Guttman

It was refreshing to work with Barb and her team at Your Home Sold Guaranteed. She sold our home for $17000 over asking price in a short time and everything went smoothly. We loved how she took the time to measure the home to make sure it was marketed at the right size and the photos were amazing. Barb was able to get a huge crowd at the open house which got us several great offers to choose from. Then she handled the sales process every step of the way for us and make it simple and easy. We highly recommend Barb and her team.

Alan and Diane

I needed to downsize to a smaller home. Barb and her team were so helpful. She showed us how to get the home ready to sell. It worked out so well that she sold my home for $15,400 over asking price in just a few days. She then went on to find a great deal on a smaller, brand new home. It was great to be able to use her moving van. Barb worked it out so we could move right into the new one early on the day of closing! I highly recommend Barb, Wendy and the whole team...

Daniel Vigil

It was such an easy process to sell my home with Barb Schlinker. I first met Barb a few years back and decided to stay in the home during the pandemic period and I’m so glad I did. That decision allowed me to add another $100,000 of value to my home in a short period of time. With the first meeting Barb provided a staging consultation that helped me get my home ready for sale on my schedule. Her Certified Pre-Owned Home program revealed I needed a new roof and because it was done in advance of the sale, her program set the stage so I could deal with the roof on my schedule and negotiate the best possible deal. Not only did Barb market the home so well that I had a lot of people come and look at the home, but I received two offers at the same time and that’s where it got exciting. Barb’s negotiating skills went into high gear and she was able to get the buyers to make their highest offers, giving me great choices on selling my home for nearly $10,000 over asking price in just 11 days. It was a really nice benefit that her program included house cleaning. That was a very nice touch that made my move effortless.

3570 Painted Daisy – After hearing Richard Randall talk about Barb on the radio I knew I had to call her. She sold my Pine Creek home in just 3 days at full asking price and made the process so easy.

Barb and her team were very easy to work with. They did an awesome job! We were under the gun for getting our house sold quickly, and Barb did just that. We got an offer after just one open house! Thanks again, Barb, for all your hard work and assistance. You and your team are amazing!

J. D. R. Hawkins

It was time for us to downsize and sell our Fountain home and move closer to our grandkids. We heard about Barb Schlinker on Richard Randall’s show. We hired Barb to sell our home in Fountain and buy another home. She sold our home sold for $5000 over asking price in the 1st weekend. Timing the move so we did not have to move twice was a challenge, especially because we had to complete an insurance claim from last summer’s hail damage. Barb’s team handled everything and was able to close on time and move straight into our new home. We highly recommend Barb Schlinker.

8354 Silver Glen - Sam & Tina San Miguel

Selling our home with Barb could not have been better. It sold in a few days for more than the asking price. And just as important, we appreciated the excellent communication with Barb and her team. They did everything they promised and more, supporting us through every phase of the sale. Photos, staging, marketing, etc. were all handled efficiently. Emails came regularly with helpful information, reminders and suggestions. When we called or texted with a question, Barb or someone from her office got back to us quickly with the needed answers. Her years in real estate have allowed her to develop a highly professional, smooth running, client-focused business model. Thanks, Barb! You exceeded our expectations!

Janet Savage

I would definitely recommend Barb Schlinker if you are buying or selling your home. As they say, "If you think hiring a professional is expensive, wait till you hire an amateur", would you let some amateur handle your biggest asset? Hire a professional like Barb Schlinker and get quality on all aspects. Great work Barb!

RDave Sanchez

Barb is calmly confident and competent. Her knowledge of her craft is very impressive. We have sold two houses using her services, and I can assure anyone wishing to sell their property, they will be impressed and happy with the process and the results if they use Barb as their real estate agent.

Frank Steyaert

We had our remodeled home on the market for months over the summer. There were over 100 showings but now offers. We called Barb to help and we are so glad we did. She put in staging furniture, took some great photos and exposed our home to her database of buyers in waiting. Our home sold in 1 week for $10,000 over asking price.

3605 Meadowland Bl – Rob Walto & Jessica

Barb and her team did a fabulous job helping my dad sell his existing home and get into his new home. I highly recommend Barb and her team!

Paul Forsthoff

My experience listing my home for sale with Barb Schlinker has been exceptional from start to finish. Barb and her team are very professional and detail oriented. They did an excellent job staging my home, helping me with packing and removing furniture items I was unable to take to my new Florida home. Barb made sure that all aspects of the selling process went smoothly which gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend Barb Schlinker to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

After hearing about Barb on the radio we had to call. Her team helped us prepare our home for sale and to our surprise we not only had 120 people visit the home in 1 day but we received multiple offers and she sold our Briargate home for $30,000 over our asking price! We had a quick sale and her team handled everything so we could move out of the state early & worry free!" John & Kathy
