"First impressions mean a lot to me and when I first met Barbara, I knew I had found a gem. Barbara has worked tirelessly with me over the last few weeks to get everything in order from all the inspections to the repairs to just everything as I prepared to purchase my first home. She was always available at anytime to answer my questions and if she didn't have the answer she would work on trying to get the answer. It was a pleasure knowing that I had a realtor that wanted to work with me instead of against me."

"Wonderful agent! Worked together 3 times, always a pleasure."

Debi H. 8/6/21

"Barb is the absolute BEST agent I have ever worked with and this purchase was my 4th home. As a buyers agent she was a true advocate for me and her dedication was far above what anyone would expect, especially during this crazy market. Barb quickly learned what I liked and what I did and helped me to filter out homes that would not interest me, and helped to point out deficiencies/areas requiring repair during our home tours. She is a true partner in a home search and I would give her 17 stars if yall would let me."

Monica P. 8/6/21

"Went above and beyond to help us find our home. Would 100% recommend Barb to anyone who was looking for a home."

Theresa T. 6/6/21

"You couldn't ask for more in a real estate agent. Barbara was knowledgeable about the area, took the time to get to know me and my family and was aggressive as I was about finding the right place at the right price. Tomorrow I'll be moving into my dream home! Don't look any further. She's the rare jewel with the expertise, work ethic and focus to find the place for you."

Erica C. 5/21/21

"I cannot recommend Barbara DeTota highly enough. I was very upfront with her about my desire to sell my parents former home as quickly and as hassle free as possible, as I was still processing having lost them both in less than 2 years apart. Barbara worked quickly and efficiently to get offers for the house, which is roughly 3.5 to 4 hours away from where my family and I currently reside. She was even able to get us more than our original asking price. She is a pleasure to work with and the very definition of professionalism when it comes down to achieving results; I cannot imagine the sale of my parents home going any better."

Barbara N. 5/15/21

"When we decided to put our investment property up for sale, we were looking for someone who was familiar with the area and the marketplace in order to obtain the best price and qualified buyers for us. Barbara checked all the boxes. She was both well informed and aggressive. We found her to be knowledgeable about the market, did a great job of qualifying prospective buyers, gave us periodic updates and suggestions on marketing the property. She was extremely easy to work with, following up and providing us all the information that we asked of her. I can honestly say that she took the "bull by the horns" and really helped make the sale happen. Like most deals, problems arise along the way and she was tenacious in following through on the details in order to get the job done. We highly recommend her and the next time we need the services of a realtor, we would not hesitate to use her. We can honestly say you would feel comfortable with her at the helm of your purchase or sale. Thanks again Barbara for a great job!"

Curt Y. 4/29/21

"We walked into the house buying process with absolute no knowledge as first time homebuyers. Barb was beyond helpful to us. She is extremely knowledgeable in the industry, was someone I was able to really trust with such a big decision/purchase, was always available to answer any questions or guide us in the right direction, would set up showings that I was interested in immediately -it is very evident Barb works tirelessly for her clients and establishes personal relationships with them in order to find the homes that suit their best interests.

Dave L. 3/24/21

"Simply put, Barb was amazing to work with! As first time homebuyer's, my wife and I were extremely anxious about the process of buying a home. Since day one, Barb was extremely thorough and explained everything when needed. She was also very attentive and answered any questions we had throughout the process. Additionally, Barb was very flexible to accommodate our schedules with showings since we were moving from out of state. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and the help we received from Barb along the way. I would highly recommend her services."

We highly recommend Barbara's expertise to anyone who is looking to purchase a home."

Jen P. 2/9/21

"Working with Barb to find our new house was a pleasant and successful experience. Barb was patient with myself and my fiance as we learned about what we desired in our first house and offered helpful information and tips that we never would have thought of. Even after settlement, Barb assisted us in some lingering issues and questions that developed over the next few days. She was responsive and listened to our financial and cosmetic requests. She also helped us out of a precarious situation that arose during our house-hunting ventures and made many phone calls on our behalf. It was a pleasure to work with Barb. She really knows her stuff and helped us find a wonderful home!"

Kenny P. 11/26/20

"From the beginning when we met Barb she made us feel as if she had known us. We grew to trust her judgment, attention to detail. She let us know that she works for us and any questions we have she would tell us the truth. Over months of looking for a home that was the right fit for us, she learned very quickly what we wanted and began to show us up to three houses a day for 2 to three days a week. Even times when I wanted to give up she explained in detail how this process worked in a time when interest rates were low as they are now. That gave me encouragement to stay with it. She went above and beyond what we ever expected. She was even there at our closing and still giving us support. We rate her beyond excellent. SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!! We will send everyone that wants to buy a home to her."

Raymond J. 10/30/20

Steve H. 6/2/20

"Where do I start.... Barbara has gone above and beyond to finally find the house that was just right for us. Barbara knowing my schedule was hectic, has always been proactive in returning my emails, text's, and questions,in a timely manner either late at night or early in the morning. And when I say early I mean before 5 AM, it did not matter what time it was, she has and still is constantly working to get us where we needed to be. A few examples were making request to the health department for information, talking with the selling clients real estate representative in our behalf even when it wasn't so pleasant, driving to all ends of the earth, going into houses that dare I say a lot of people would not step foot in. Barbara has been and still is steadfastly working in our behalf even after we have closed on the property that we bought, and her wealth of experience an knowledge is unmatched and key in making our decisions on which property was best suited for us with checking our wish list boxes. I can tell you she has spent a considerable amount of time and driving countless miles showing us houses over the past 2 years. I have purchased several houses over the years, and I have worked with several other realtors, and I can tell you that in my opinion Barbara is the best in her field, when Barbara goes to work for you she is committed to meeting your needs regardless of what she has to sacrifice. I will definitely be staying in touch with Barbara and would highly recommend that you use Barbara as your realtor you will not be disappointed. Thank Barbara DeTota for the exceptional job that you have done, I don't think they pay you enough.. Peggy and myself could not be happier. All the best Barbara, Stephen Horton"

I was on a budget and we looked at many houses and it took a while to finally find the one that was just right, But then i had an issue with my bank.

Jan P. 5/3/19

"Barb worked with us for 8 months, moving from another state. We had only certain days and times we could meet, and Barb made it work. We had a smaller budget, and less options to choose from. Barb went to house after house with us, until we all agreed on a perfect match. Barb was honest and upfront, and if she saw homes that could be a money pit for us, she kindly and respectfully guided us into a better direction. When we finally found the right home, we had some issues working with the seller(the bank), and Barb was on the phone daily trying to make it work out for all party involved. Barb referred us to a local lender, who really had to jump through some hoops for us to get our mortgage lender, plus the seller to all agree on the right terms, and seal the deal. In the end we were all victorious, and toasted a bottle of champagne! Barb continued to follow up with us , even months after settlement. We plan to buy again in the next few years, and will be immediately calling Barb and her crew! Best of luck to the team at ERA and future home buyers!"

Dawn W. 5/1/19

Janice J. 5/1/19

"Barbara took her time to figure out exactly what we were looking for an only showed us those homes. She didn't waste our time. She went over and beyond for us. If we couldn't make it took look at a house she went for us an we completely trusted what she had to say about the home. We looked at many homes and never felt pressured. She didn't just want to sell us a house she wanted us to find our home! An she did just that! She has a true passion for what she does an that's what you need going through this process. Barbara wil help you find your dream home!"
