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.

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

Harry Prantl

After hearing Barbs radio ads and looking at her website, it was obvious Barb and her team has the best system for selling our home. Not only did she sell it for full asking price in just 6 days, but she made sure our home has a warranty for the buyer for 1 year after closing. It was so helpful that her team took care of a final move-out clean. It helped us easily plan our move and ensured the family enjoyed a stress-free move. We highly recommend Barb and her team to sell your home. Dale & Krystal

Krystal Wager

If you're looking to buy or sell property, look no further. Barb Schlinker Team is great at what they do and guide you along every step of the way. Barb is very committed to customer service and 5-star service. Thank you for your high standard of excellence... Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Lance Beckett

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.

5183 Solar Ridge – Steve & June Hales

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

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!

David and Rumiko Porter

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.

Larry & Kathy

Barb and her team were very easy to work with. They did an awesome job! We were under the gun for getting our house sold quickly, and Barb did just that. We got an offer after just one open house! Thanks again, Barb, for all your hard work and assistance. You and your team are amazing!

J. D. R. Hawkins

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

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.

Laurie Cammack

Barbara Schlinker to her team was very helpful and easy to work with.

Kirk Buker

With Barb's amazing marketing and negotiating strategies, she was able to get us $26,500 over asking price in just a few days and we set a new high sales price for our neighborhood.Her whole team is great to work with. We highly recommend using the Barb Schlinker team to sell your home! - Mike & Mary

Barb and her team are AWESOME!!! If you are looking to Sell or Buy a house I highly recommend Barb and her team!

Chris Leonard

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

By the time I put my home on the market, I was already moving to another state. Barb not only sold my Peyton home for $40,000 over asking price. But it was a great comfort for me to know that Barb and her team handled all the things that needed to be done to close the sale including managing some needed repairs. I highly recommend The Barb Schlinker Team to sell your home." Jessica

Jessica Montoya

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!

Janet Savage

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.

Robert Constable

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.

Bill & Judy Bremer

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.

1536 Smoochers Ln

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.

4047 Charleston Dr – Victor & Mrs Parades

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

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.

Alan and Diane

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. Barb Schlinker and Tom Parker were great to work with to get my home sold. They did an excellent job on photos and marketing. I had previously tried with another agent that resulted in no sale. But when I hired Barb and Tom everything went as planned. When it turned out I needed a new roof, they suggested a roofing company that was able to finish the job quickly and minimize my out-of-pocket expenses. I was able to sell my home for top dollar and they helped me prepare for my move. I highly recommend Barb Schlinker and her team to sell your home.

Fritz

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.

Dennis & Joan Musick

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!

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

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
