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

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 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

Barb and her team go above and beyond to care for her clients. In the hospitality industry we have the GOLD level of care in which we look for ways to exceed our guests experience. I would relate this level of care to Barb and her teams approach. I was transitioning out of state on military orders, worried about leaving a home on the market. Her team excelled; took care of all my worries and concerns. Handled any maintenance needs, yard care, etc. during my absence and time of closing. Additionally, they covered any requests made by the buying agents after discussion with me from a distance. I could have not asked for a better agent and team to handle the sale of my home. I highly recommend Barb for your next purchase or sale; she will be there for you through every step. She will provide you the very best approach to selling and fight for the very best price during your purchase. Thank you Barb and to your team for all your hard work. We could have not done it with out you.

After another broker missed the entire selling season by moving too slow, we hired Barb and she quickly helped us get the home on the market and looking great! It sold for over asking price in just 10 days. Barb and her team took care of all the details and the closing were very smooth and easy.

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 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!

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!

We hired Barb to sell our home in Security. We accepted 1 cash offer within 30 hours of listing and it sold for $11,000 over our asking price. Her staff was wonderful and we were thankful for the use of her convenient moving truck. We highly recommend using Barb Schlinker to sell your home.

Barb and her team were excellent at helping us plan to get ready for the sale. We had such a large crowd at the open house that the neighbors were asking about it. Our home sold for over asking price and everything went smoothly as planned. Steve & Melissa

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
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!!!
Mark Lewis
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.

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...

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 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.
Edie Darrah
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!
Lynn Perdue
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
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!

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 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
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
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

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.

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.
Dave & Martha Pitts
Selling our home with the Barb Schlinker Team is the best experience we could have hoped for. Our home sold for $70,000 over asking price the first weekend, then she reached out to help us with information to purchase our next home. We highly recommend using Barb and her team to sell your home in the Colorado Springs area. Patrick & Insuk

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.
3570 Painted Daisy – Daniel Jump
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.

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.
