In today’s dynamic Colorado real estate market, buyers often face challenging decisions about home values and purchase prices. One of the most complex situations is deciding whether to pay more than a home’s appraised value. In this blog post, Colorado Springs real estate expert Barb Schlinker discusses the key factors to consider when faced with […]
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.

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 has such great reviews online, I knew she was the right choice for me. She was so helpful and patient helping us get ready on our pace, helping plan our move and best of all she quickly sold the home for $50,000 over asking price in just a few days. Her team took care of all the final details for me, including re-purposing things I did not need so I could easily move to my next home.

It was so nice to only have to show our home for just 1 hour and Barb and her team helped us sell our home for $55,000 over asking price with a cash buyer. Everything went as scheduled and it made the process easy.

We are so glad we hired Barb Schlinker to handle the sale of our home. We were on a short time crunch to sell right when the market was slowing down. It was great that Barb’s knowledge of pricing got us the highest price for our home in the shortest amount of time. Barb will not hesitate to resolve issues quickly when they arise. After moving out we discovered the washer and dryer should have been left but was loaded on the truck. Barb took charge of the problem and quickly purchased a used set for us that satisfied the contract and had it installed in 1 day. By her team’s swift action, she ensured a smooth and timely closing.

Barb was great to work with; she returned calls and responded to texts and emails promptly, took care of a broken door lock, and kept on eye on our property after we had moved out of state. She also provided an inflatable mattress when she found out my husband was sleeping on the floor. We would recommend Barb to anyone wanting to sell their property.

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.

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 sold our townhome in 3 days at $6000 over asking price setting a new high price for the townhome complex. Her team made the process so smooth and easy. We highly recommend Barb’s team to sell your home.

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 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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!!!

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

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 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!

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.
