Many Colorado Springs homeowners find themselves weighing the difficult choice between pursuing a short sale or allowing their property to go into foreclosure. Both options will impact your credit score, but the severity and recovery timeline differ significantly. In this blog […]
Our townhome was getting too crowded for our family. Barb’s team helped us stage it, suggested some repairs to get the most money from selling. In just 1 week our townhome sold for the highest amount of any townhome in that neighborhood.

Barb sold our home in just 1 weekend for $40,000 over asking price, setting a new high sales price for similar sized Summerfield at Briargate homes. The entire experience from start to finish was great! We highly recommend using Barb Schlinker and her team to sell your home” Harry and Nancy

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 was able to sell our home for over asking price and make sure everything went well. She provides so many extra services like cleaning and handling little repairs to ensure we got the home sold. She even covered the expenses in advance for a small area of fresh carpet to ensure the buyers would be delighted to pay full price for the home. All the way through the process we received support from Barbs team from making sure the home was ready for showings as well as communicating issues that came up. In the end, Barb was able to get us over $5000 more than expected and we are delighted it is sold and completed.

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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 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 !!!!!!

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 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.

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.

Barb’s great marketing strategy helped us sell our Cherry Creek Crossing home for $60,000 over asking price and we set a new high sales price in the neighborhood. Barb and her team helped us negotiate to stay in the home after closing until our new place was ready to move right in. There is no question that using Barb was the right choice for us to make this move" Bill & Sharon

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

After hearing Barb on the radio where she outlined her methods for selling homes, I am so pleased that we hired her to handle the sale of our home. We had already moved out, and she and her team installed very attractive staging furniture so it showed beautifully. In just one short week. Barb obtained several buyers competing for our home and she sold our home for $5000 over asking price. Her team handled everything from there and made the process very easy. Having Barb handle the sale of our home gave me great peace-of-mind throughout the entire process.

Bard did a great job selling our house for over asking price! She was great at providing us with sound advice on pricing our home. She also told we we needed to worry about and what to not stress over.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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
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.

I have a marketing degree and I am just amazed at how Barb Schlinker and her Barb has the Buyers offer is so compelling for home sellers. This is the best real estate company to work for if you want to buy or sell real estate.

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.
