Testimonials
"Testimonial from Dr. Miles Varn 8/20/20 I was searching for a fairly specific property in Annapolis without any urgency. After quickly looking at several homes that were beautiful but not the perfect match, I settled in for what I thought would be a search for months or even longer. I detailed my wish list to Barbara and she listened attentively..The next day she called me truly excited. She thought she had found the perfect match, and it was going on the market the next day. She had already booked the first available slot to tour the property. It was perfect. I committed on the spot. She handled every detail. It was the easiest home deal that have ever closed. So if you’re looking for an agent who is attentive, who has a sense of intuition, who will seize the opportunity, and who will follow through, then Barbara is the perfect fit. I have no doubt that I’ll be working with her again in the future. "

" We worked with Barbara closely as she helped us to buy our new dream home and also to sell our family home of more than 20 years. Barbara was knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive, smoothly guiding us through both the buying and selling processes. She provided advice and guidance in each transaction that we quickly came to trust. When needed, she was well connected with a reliable network of experts that could be called upon to bring the skills and expertise we needed at just the right time. Barbara’s broad background and keen design sense brought a level of professionalism and polish to marketing our home that stands out as top notch. She helped us get top dollar for our listing as soon as our home hit the market. When buying our new dream home and then again as our seller's agent. After both transactions were brought to their happy conclusions, it feels bittersweet that our work together is done -- until next time. Proudly and without hesitation we would work with Barbara again."

"Barbara was our buyers' agent for a recent rental in Annapolis. We absolutely loved working with her. As a local, she has a great knowledge of the market. Most important to us, Barbara is persistent -- she made sure all our questions were answered, kept track of open issues, and followed up diligently on all loose ends. She has a great "get it done now" attitude that kept our rental on track. Although we are renting this property, when we are ready to purchase a home Barbara will be our first call! We strongly recommend her!"
-Kelsey Land, Client
"What a great experience working with Barbara as our realtor. Working professionally and diligently, she found our beautiful Annapolis home. If you are looking for a specific home or area to purchase an upscale property, Barbara is who you should engage as your agent. We decided to purchase a home in Annapolis ONLY in a particular, small community of homes. Barbara spent months researching and even door knocking homes in the community. A 110% effort, like we have never experienced in our 45 years of buying/selling homes. And guess what? Barbara called one day and said "I found your house" and so she did. We had a signed contract in 48 hours. Closing followed, and we have been forever grateful for her hard work and a PERFECT end to our quest. Thank you Barbara!"
