My husband and I met Barbara McCormack at one of her open houses. We are a retiring military family and new to the area, Barbara was very patient and attentive to our needs during the whole process. She wanted to make sure ‘we’ found the right ‘forever’ home for us. Her knowledge of the area was fantastic and it is very clear she takes pride and enjoys her job. She made the whole experience feel like we were working with a friend. She has kept in touch to check on work that needed completing on the house which has been great, to know that we can still keep that contact with her if we have questions.

Barbara McCormack is honest, candid and transparent, and knows the house buying process inside-out. The absolute best real estate agent with whom we’ve ever worked, Barbara made our house buying experience a true pleasure. We would enlist her services again without looking anywhere else and have referred our closest friends and family members.

Barbara McCormack came highly recommended to us from a close friend and she didn't let us down. Barbara helped us find our new dream home sight unseen all the way from CA, she was very accommodating with all of our needs and timelines. The purchasing process of our new home couldn't have gone any smoother, Barbara was focused on all details of the search, escrow, closing and beyond... getting us exactly what we needed as well recommending a superb loan officer to us for our pre approval. No regrets and a very thorough job well done! We thank her for all the kindness and generosity she has shown to our family.

My husband was offered a job all the way across the country and was requested to start ASAP. We contacted Barbara and she was more than willing to help! She started the paperwork that day and met with us several times to get everything lined up to put the house on the market that next week. In fact, she would have done it the next day if she could of! Barbara made the entire process easy for us (especially with a two-year-old and two dogs) and always made sure that our family needs came first but still worked hard to sell our house! She marketed the house so well that we were offered full listing price first day and the house was under contract in less than six hours! Barbara made the entire house selling process so easy that we were moved before we even closed! Thank you again for your patience and understanding through the whole process Barbara! I absolutely recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home! She is so easy to work with, will answer any and all of your questions and will keep you up to date no matter what time of day! Thanks again for everything!

I met Barbara at a previous open house - over a year prior to ultimately purchasing my home - and maintained a relationship with her based upon that initial encounter. From Day 1, she struck me as a consummate professional who was attentive to my requirements. Tremendously knowledgeable, Barb patiently sought to help my family find the "right" house, not the "right now" house. Searching for what felt like the "needle in the haystack", Barb made the search process fun and we relied heavily on her for timely counsel and observations. Barbara McCormack earned our trust while exceeding expectations in EVERY facet. Patient is an understatement considering we essentially worked with her for over a year - looking at 15-20 homes - before moving forward on our purchase. She was highly knowledgeable throughout the process and is exceedingly well connected to contacts in the local area (enabling quick answers to things like zoning and permits). Barb continually amazed us at her responsiveness - always getting back to us with a phone call, email or text within minutes. Barb also made it a point to always explain the "next steps" and way-forward regarding the buying process. She never made us feel as if we were imposing on her time, rather we felt as if we were continually receiving concierge-level focus and treatment from her! Barb was also particularly adept at knowing when to interject / provide counsel regarding things her trained eye detected...this fact ultimately saved my family from purchasing what would've been the wrong property for our needs. Again, a testament to her desire to help us find the right home - not the one that would've produced the quickest sale! Highly skilled in the "art of negotiation", Barb helped us navigate one of the trickier aspects of home buying: the offer / counter-offer phase. We credit her entirely for why we successfully closed a deal on a property that was on the market for only 96 hours and receiving heavy interest. We've purchased homes previously, but this was far and away our best experience. We attribute that 100% to working with Barbara - there is literally nobody else that we'd trust to the level she has established. We would ABSOLUTELY work with Barbara again, and confidently recommend her to anyone looking to purchase in the Virginia Beach area!

We have had the privilege to work with Barbara on three transactions so far, 1 sale and 2 purchases. She was very knowledgeable of the areas that would suit our needs and took our family lifestyle into consideration. She has an exemplary work ethic and would do everything whithin her power to ensure our transactions ran smoothly and timely. Overall, Baraba is such a compassionate and kind person that it made a typically very stressful time so much more comfortable. We will definitely be honored to be able to have her help us out in the future!

Barbara was helpful, friendly, and responsive from day 1. We felt she was really looking to help us find the perfect home and that she was never too busy to get back to us. I felt like she treated us like family. Barbara taught us A LOT about the home buying process (this was my husband and I's first home). She explained every detail and aspect of all processes and always let us know what to expect next and the timeline we should be on. We truly had a quick and easy process because of her attention to detail and knowledge. Even our mortgage lender was surprised at how smooth our final weeks and our closing was, especially with this being our first home purchase. I will recommend Barbara and The Real Estate Group to everyone I know that is looking to buy or sell a home in the area solely because of how amazing our experience was.

Barbara was extremely helpful negotiating multiple offers for this property as well as assisting in all area of negotiations, inspections, and coordination with regards to the closing. This property also involved multiple sellers due to it being a family property and she was able to coordinate with everybody in a timely and professional manner as well as being available to check on the property for us during repairs etc. This was also the second home we have sold with Barbara and I would highly recommend her.
