Customer Testimonials
"Barrett Hester came into my life around March 2024. He reached out to me in a helpful and genuine way, knowing I was interested in looking but not quite ready—unless the right deal came along that I couldn’t pass up. He checked in often and consistently kept me updated on available inventory. Anytime I requested information on a property, he responded promptly and thoroughly.
In March 2025, we closed on a townhouse that checked every box I gave him—great location near our relatives, the right price, and you honestly couldn’t get any closer to the pool! (A pool was important to me.) Barrett has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. He’ll be the first person I reach out to when it’s time to buy or sell in the future.
It’s been a great experience working with him over the past year."

"When we finally got too frustrated searching on Zillow by ourselves (we live 4 hours away from the area we were interested in) I tentatively contacted Barrett Hester, who was the only realtor who had reached out to us who wasn't annoying. Have not regretted it for a minute! He knew our area well and facilitated our search. He handled our difficult closing meticulously, and was always knowledgeable and professional. We asked a lot of him, and he never made us feel like we were asking too much, but made us always feel like a priority. Seriously, he ended up feeling like family. I miss him, now that the sale is complete! Would definitely recommend him!!!!"

"Barrett was professional and kind from start to finish with this purchase. He patiently explained areas of the transaction that were murky to me and in the end I was confidently able to move forward with the closing. I was impressed with Barrett's knowledge of the local area and his attention to detail when it came to our checklist for property. I highly recommend working with Barrett!"

"I did some research online about local realtors in the area. I was impressed with the reviews that Barbara had in various places online. I ended up reaching out to several different realtors, but the most responsive, detailed, and personal responses that I got from Barbara and her team really set them apart from everyone else from the start.
Barbara and her team were communicative throughout the entire process about where they were posting the property listing. They also were able to supply interesting statistics about the different locations where the property was listed, for example a summary of the amount of views of the property at each of the online websites.
Barbara (and her whole team) were great throughout the entire home sale process. The thing that stood out the most to me was their patience with the home sale, and myself. I am sure it wasn't the easiest home sale that they have ever done, nor was I the easiest client to deal with. They handled it all with patience and professionalism. There were some issues that needed to be corrected at the last minute of the home sale and they were helpful in recommending and scheduling the work to be done, as I had already moved out of the state. I can't recommend Barbara enough.
Everyone I dealt with on Barbara's team was top notch. I really liked the way that her entire team tackled any sort of concern that arose.
I had such a good experience with them, and they were so helpful that I feel obligated to spread the word about their office. If anyone is trying to find a realtor, do yourself a favor and go with Barbara and her team. You won't regret it."
