Testimonials
"Thanks for the good news! It's been a pleasure dealing with you. Thank you for making the whole complex process much easier for us than I ever thought it would be."
- , Client
"Barbara did a super job of selling our parents’ house in La Jolla after our father passed away and our mother moved into a retirement community! We got a better price than we would have anticipated, and the process did not take that long. Since I and my siblings all live far away from La Jolla, we had to ask her to take care of many difficult tasks, not least of which was dealing with the final clearing out of the possessions accumulated over more than 40 years. The negotiations were difficult, but she made it basically trouble-free for us. I would work with her again any time."
