We have bought and sold approximately 20 properties. No agent has even come close to the quality Barb offers. Her marketing was superb - generating 4 offers; and we had an accepted contract within a week, closing within a month. The icing on the cake though, is Barb herself. She's open, friendly, knowledgeable and most important, accessible ! Barb is worth ever dollar of the commission she will earn!

We heard about Barb from our contractor who is a radio fan. We knew once we hired Barb it was the right decision to help us sell our parent's home. Barb gave us great advice on what to do to sell our home for the most money without spending too much money to update the home. The results were great. In just a few days Barb had a huge crowd at the Open House, over 85 visitors and it sold for $75,000 over the asking price. They made the whole process easy for us to manage while traveling between several states and we especially appreciated the move out cleaning service as well as the help removing unneeded items. We highly recommend Barb to sell your home!

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

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

We are so glad we hired Barb and her team to sell our home on Borrego Drive. We felt so comfortable we moved out of the state before showing, she had 79 people attend the open house and she sold our home the first weekend for $66,500 over asking price and it closed on time in just 3 weeks!

It was time for us to sell the inherited home our parents had owned and the home we grew up in. It was a challenge for us since we all lived in different locations out of town. We hired Barb and her team to sell our home and she sold it in a few weeks for full asking price and it closed on time. They handled everything for us. We did not have to return to visit the property or even attend the closing. We highly recommend Barb and her team.

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
We called Barb a few months before we planned to sell to make sure the sale was timed to happen with our military transfer out of state. Barb made sure all the staging and photos were done to perfection, on time! Our home sold at over asking price in just 5 days! We highly recommend Barb!

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.

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

We heard about Barb on the radio and asked her to help us sell mine and my Mom’s home next door. She helped us prepare our homes for sale so they showed really well. Barb had at least 80 people in at the Open House and both homes sold for way over asking price in just a few days. Her team helped with the entire process and we were able to make our next move as scheduled.

Barb Schlinker and Tom Parker were great to work with to get my home sold. They did an excellent job on photos and marketing. I had previously tried with another agent that resulted in no sale. But when I hired Barb and Tom everything went as planned. When it turned out I needed a new roof, they suggested a roofing company that was able to finish the job quickly and minimize my out-of-pocket expenses. I was able to sell my home for top dollar and they helped me prepare for my move. I highly recommend Barb Schlinker and her team to sell your home. Fritz

As a busy professional living in Denver, I had very little time to deal with selling my rental townhome. Barb and her team took care of everything, met the former tenant to turn over the property, took care of repairs, installed attractive staging furniture, took great photos and the results were excellent! She sold my townhome in a very short time at a full asking price. I closed remotely without even visiting the property. I highly recommend Barb Schlinker.

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 and her team worked hard throughout the entire process in selling our home. Barb always took the time to answer any questions we had. We sold our home for $65,000 over asking price. We would highly recommend Barb if you are thinking about selling your home. Ed and Michelle Thompson

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

It was time for us to downsize and we needed someone who could help us get the most amount of money for our townhome. Barb helped us decide what to do and what not to do get our townhome ready for sale. Our townhome sold for full price, setting a new high sales price in the community.

We needed to sell our 3rd story condo so we could buy our ranch style home. The former agent we hired could not sell it and only suggested to lower the price to get it sold. We hired Barb and we are so glad we did. She helped us do some updates that would command the highest sales price and her team sold it quickly at the full asking price.

We work out of state for most of the time. It was so comforting to know we had Barb Schlinker and her team there to support us throughout the sale. Barb and her team were excellent communicators and helped us sell our Black Forest home from a far at a great price with very little effort on our part. – Andy and Rene

As an active duty Air Force member, it was great to have Barb throughout the years watching out for the property while I was away from Colorado Springs and abroad. When it came time to sell, I was very glad I had Barb to help. She not only attenitvely guided me the right way to get it ready for sale but with her great marketing she was able to help me sell it for $35,000 over asking price and all while I was mostly out of state. I very strongly recommend using Barb Schlinker and her team to sell your home.

After trying to sell our home previously and unsuccessfully with another agent, we are so delighted we called Barb. Very quickly Barb and her team helped with updated staging and great marketing. Barb was able to get a bidding war on our home in just a few weeks, and it sold for over asking price. The entire transaction was handled smoothly and closed on time. We highly recommend Barb.

Although we weren't a current client, Barb was super-helpful in assisting us in preparing an Appeal of our current property tax assessment. She advertised that she would help anyone do this; you didn't have to be a current client selling or buying a home. She responded immediately to our phone call, and we communicated several times until we filed the appeal. Barb was most personable and welcoming and genuinely interested in helping us. We were able to file within a short time. We were so IMPRESSED that Barb was able to give us some of her precious time to do this, given her very full schedule and many clients.

We have sold 3 homes and working with Barb Schlinker was by far the best experience. We previously tried another agent who failed to get many showings and only provided weak offers that would not work. We are so glad we made the switch. From the very beginning, we could tell Barb's process for selling homes is far superior to any other agent's work. Not only did she help us show our home and attract more buyers than ever before. But it sold quickly for top dollar. We could not have asked for a better real estate experience. We so appreciated Barb's hands-on care and attention to detail that included careful measurements, highlighting the home's best features and a very organized system that resulted in a quick sale with the least amount of hassle.

We are so pleased that we worked with Barb Schlinker to sell our home at 1450 Masters Drive in Woodland Park. Barb and her team go to great lengths to ensure the home is presented to the market in such a way to command top dollar for the home. From the elegant video production, great photos and beautiful pictures, it all went very well. Barb was able to negotiate for us to stay in the home well after closing allowing us to move to our next location at a comfortable pace. Barb Schlinker and Tom Parker were great to work with to get my home sold. They did an excellent job on photos and marketing. I had previously tried with another agent that resulted in no sale. But when I hired Barb and Tom everything went as planned. When it turned out I needed a new roof, they suggested a roofing company that was able to finish the job quickly and minimize my out-of-pocket expenses. I was able to sell my home for top dollar and they helped me prepare for my move. I highly recommend Barb Schlinker and her team to sell your home.

It was time for us to downsize our remodeled home. We interviewed several agents. but we knew Barb’s buyers and great marketing would get us the highest price for our home. In a few short weeks Barb was able to sell our home for top dollar, setting a new high sales price in the neighborhood. We are so glad we hired Barb and her team.

Barb was extremely helpful to my brother-in-law, Ed, when he appealed the county assessor's valuation of his home. We learned of Barb through her very informative radio program on 710 KNUS. Barb did a thorough search of property sales and provided Ed with 3 comparables for use in his appeal. And Barb did this very quickly since the deadline for the appeal was fast approaching.
Martha Fitzpatrick
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
