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

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.

Clarisa Mae Garrovillas

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.

Dave Potter

We needed to sell our 3rd story condo so we could buy our ranch style home. The former agent we hired could not sell it and only suggested to lower the price to get it sold. We hired Barb and we are so glad we did. She helped us do some updates that would command the highest sales price and her team sold it quickly at the full asking price.

2949 Mesa Rd #C, - Keith & Lisa Sheldon

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.

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

Kirk Buker

It was time for us to downsize our remodeled home. We interviewed several agents. but we knew Barb’s buyers and great marketing would get us the highest price for our home. In a few short weeks Barb was able to sell our home for top dollar, setting a new high sales price in the neighborhood. We are so glad we hired Barb and her team.

2775 Helmsdale Drive, CS, CO 80920 - Steve & Barb Schleper

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!

John and Bobbie

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.

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

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.

8130 Avens Cir, CS, CO 80920 - Donna S

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.

Martha Fitzpatrick

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.

James Heffron

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

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.

Lance & Shirley

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 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

Peter Knudsen

Barb and her team worked hard throughout the entire process in selling our home. Barb always took the time to answer any questions we had. We sold our home for $65,000 over asking price. We would highly recommend Barb if you are thinking about selling your home. Ed and Michelle Thompson

Edward Thompson

Barb went above and beyond to help sell our house. Great communication, very professional & knowledgeable, she has a great team working for her. Incredible service, we give her a 10 out of 10, score. 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!!!

1875 Brookdale Dr, CS, CO 80919 - Craig & Nicky M

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

After hearing about Barb on the radio we had to call. Her team helped us prepare our home for sale and to our surprise we not only had 120 people visit the home in 1 day but we received multiple offers and she sold our Briargate home for $30,000 over our asking price! We had a quick sale and her team handled everything so we could move out of the state early & worry free!" John & Kathy

Kathy Seavey

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 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 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!

nanciannaj

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.

324 E Fountain Bl – Benjamin Butler

The whole experience working with Barb Schlinker and her team was extraordinary. From advice to prepare for sale, beautiful staging, support with moving and great communication, Barb is by far the best choice to sell a home in the Colorado Springs area.

Dave & Martha Pitts

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!

Lynn Perdue

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 !!!!!!
