Home appraisals determine the fair market value of a property, directly affecting your mortgage approval and purchase price. In this blog post, Colorado Springs real estate expert 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.

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!

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 hired Barb to sell our home in Calhan. We got several great offers and it sold for $15,000 over our asking price in just 5 days. Having formerly been a Real Estate agent, it was so refreshing to have a great agent like Barb who fought for us all the way to closing. She was so helpful and professional. Barb was always available when we needed anything or had questions. We highly recommend using Barb Schlinker to sell your home.

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.

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 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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
5214 Dovetail Ln, Colorado Springs, CO 80916 – Kate & Greg Fall
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 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. This was our second time using Barb to help us sell a home and the experience was top notch. You do not need to look further to find the best realtor for your need to sell or but a home.

Barb and her team did a fabulous job helping my dad sell his existing home and get into his new home. I highly recommend Barb and her team!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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 definitely would recommend her! We have dealt with a lot of realtors and Barb and her team are at the top of the list. Thank you, Barb!!!

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.

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

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 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

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 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.
