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 trying previously to sell with no result, hiring Barb was a refreshing experience. She sold our home for $57,000 over asking price in just one week and it was a very easy sale. Her and her team handled everything so we just needed to move. We highly recommend using Barb to sell a home.

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!

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...

I am very pleased with Mrs. Barbara and Mrs. Wendy. They went ALL out their way every day to make our home selling process less stressful. They were a pleasure to work with and became family instead of a business move. Furthermore, being in the Air-Force I didn’t have much time to relocate and they made it a breeze for my family and I. If I ever come back to Colorado to live. I will call them back with NO hesitation. Thank you ALL for what you have done. I have already recommended EVERYONE on Peterson AFB to Mrs. Barbara and her team. They will go out their way and beyond to make you happy. If I could give more than a 5 star rating .. I definitely would. God Bless !!!!!!

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.

The whole experience working with Barb Schlinker and her team was extraordinary. From advice to prepare for sale, beautiful staging, support with moving and great communication, Barb is by far the best choice to sell a home in the Colorado Springs area.

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!

It was so refreshing to have Barb and her team sell my home. I moved before the home went on the market and they took care of everything including the final clean out and carpet cleaning. After receiving multiple offers, it was someone on Barb's Team who brought me the best buyer who bought my home with cash at $35,000 over asking price. The result was a smooth on-time, quick closing.

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.

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

I have been a regular listener to Barbs radio show for years. Before I met her, she made it easy to prepare me for the sale because of her radio show on KVOR. Barb then recommended a higher price than I expected on the home and went on to sell it for a whopping $100,000 over price. Her and her team handled all the details and make the closing go very smoothly." In addition, the house that I am purchasing, had a safety issue. Barb volunteered to step up and help out with it. I greatly appreciate her help.
James Collier
I needed to downsize into a less expensive home. I’m so glad I hired Barb Schlinker and Tom Parker to handle my transition to my new home. They took care of everything for me including coordinating repairs and providing space to store my things during the move. My home sold very quickly and now I am living in a much smaller place that is much more affordable and in a great location.

Barb was able to help us reduce our property tax valuation by over $221,000! What a savings on property taxes and insurance premiums! She uses a formula that accurately assesses the value of one's home. She was very prompt and very pleasant to work with. We highly recommend her for all real estate needs.

Barb and her team at Parker St. Claire come highly recommended. After accepting a job out of state we needed to quickly get our home on the market. We heard an ad for Barb on the radio and gave her a call. She was at our home the next day. Barb was friendly and knowledgable of the local market. She’s very detailed and brought with her a ton of information so we could price our home to sell. The home was staged and professionally photographed to highlight all the special features inside and out. Barb and her staff were always available for questions and even moved the last bit of furnishings to a storage unit for us just before closing! Not sure you’ll find a more helpful real estate broker/agent – give Barb a call!

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.

Barb exceeded my expectations. She was a Blessing and also I don't think I couldn't have done any better. Thanks Barb and continue doing Steller work for your customers

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.

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 talked to several agents but it was clear Barb has the best marketing to get us the most money. Best of all....she sold our home for at $30,000 over what the other agents said it was worth. We moved out and left the home in her hands. Barb and her team were amazing and we did not have to worry about anything. While we were enjoying family in another state, Barb's team sold our home and it closed in just 3 weeks! We highly recommend Barb and her team!

Barb Schlinker and her team helped us with home repairs, use of the moving van and getting help moving things we needed to get rid of before the sale. Our home sold quickly and well above the asking price." Barb went above and beyond for us and our needs. She was always available and returned calls and texts expediently!

We heard about Barb Schlinker from her Radio Show and having been in the sales business we were very impressed. Barb and her team did a great job managing all the many showings and ultimately a great sale. The result could not have been better. We became friends with the buyer and the whole process exceeded our expectations. Barb's team was able to quickly respond to showing feedback to help get us the over full priced sale. From the recommendation to her trusted vendors that went well to the consistent and frequent communication from Barb and her team - it was a pleasure to do business with her. Steve & Crystal

Barb Schlinker and Wendy are the two best real estate agents I have ever had in buying and selling a home in my life. Their careful attention to detail, professionalism, exactness, timing, listening to my personal needs and wants. They have respected my needs & wishes in every way. I will always will recommend them to my friends and family members. And I will always trust their care with them.
Karen Woods
Barb was quick to set up a meeting with us to discuss a plan for selling our home. She was very well prepared with data to help help us determine a strategic selling price. The entire process moved along quickly and after listing our home and conducting a 1 hour open house, we had 5 offers. We sold for $25,000 over list price! Her team was very helpful and kept us informed throughout the process. Thanks so much!!!
