When looking for a new home in Salinas, Barbara Weidman was recommended to us and we are so glad she was! Barbara exceeded our expectations and in fact, outperformed any other realtor we have worked with over the past forty years. Throughout each step of the process, we found her to be very knowledgeable, professional, personable and clearly an excellent listener. Learning our needs and wants, and expectations; Barbara did a superb job finding properties that fit the bill. And, despite the fact we lived 200 miles away, always made herself available in accommodating our own erratic and somewhat inflexible schedule. Home buying can be extremely stressful. The combination of Barbara's experience, expertise, guidance, plus her calm, yet upbeat demeanor was invaluable. She kept us informed and on track at every step of the purchasing process. Barbara's proactive and keen negotiating skills headed off the problematic complications we experienced with our last home purchase in 2014. And, when our lender turned out to be a nightmare, the person she hooked us up with was just the opposite - amazingly competent and communicative. Not surprisingly, every trade person, service or other local business she has recommended has been EXCELLENT. New to the area, even now months past our purchase, we turn to her when looking for pretty much any service. We are very happy with the price we paid for our new home and absolutely love it. We wholeheartedly recommend Barbara Weidman to anyone interested in selling or buying a home.

"Barb is a very friendly agent working with. She doesn't impose and rush anything to her clients. She provides all details of the process and property information. There were some ups and downs in our home buying journey as first time home buyers, but she did handle the process very professionally . Thanks Barb that we got our new home. I strongly recommend Barb to my Bay Area friends."

"It's always a difficult task to purchase a home sight-unseen, and it's imperative to have an experienced and communicative realtor who understands your preferences and needs. Barbara was absolutely amazing in every aspect of the transaction and skillfully shepherded us through all the ups-and-downs of remote home-buying, providing us very detailed videos, attending to the home inspections, and deftly handling more than one stumbling block during our process. Her love of what she does and the care she provides to her clients is evident, and her personalized services makes you feel like you're the only client she has -- even though she has to be very busy. Would recommend Barbara to anybody purchasing in the area."

"We were very happy with Barbara from the beginning and always felt we were a priority. She was so responsive and never dropped the ball. We trusted her completely!"

Barb receives my highest recommendation and well earned appreciation."

"Barbara had previously represented buyers & sellers on my street. I felt that was important. Also, she was a full-time agent and I wanted to sell the house quickly. She was incredible in the way she worked with this group (4 siblings); she was able to move the process forward at every stumbling block in a timely manner. She jumped right in & solved any problems right away. I honestly believe no one else could have done it. The house was beautifully staged. We had restored the house prior to sale. And she was very helpful in recommending people to take care of last-minute details. Barbara is very patient with questions and took the time needed to explain the process. She works very well with people and other agents and is very efficient at organizing what needs to get done in an efficient & timely manner. She was always accessible and took time to explain some things by making short videos to communicate with the group. Barbara was very accurate in her suggestions regarding sale price. She was thorough in her on-line advertising campaign; and from the first day on the market, the interest was intense. We had 6 offers within just a few days and the house sold for over asking price. She outperformed in bringing this group of siblings together on several issues in a way that satisfied all. And she kept the process moving. She is very organized and obviously very experienced. Everything happened like clockwork. Excellent, efficient, professional."

"As first time home buyers we had a great experience working with Barbara. She was super helpful and considerate of our schedule making it very flexible to set up appointments etc...."

"When we had a chance to sit down and discuss her approach to the selling of my property she was immediately able to touch on several of the key components which I knew were going to be important to me. She just had a very practical way of explaining her approach which was nice to hear. She never tried to oversell which is a common mistake often times made by inexperienced brokers. Barb was very sensitive to all the various aspects of sale of my house which I knew were going to be challenging. She was able to understand the stress I was under with not only selling the property but getting it ready to show and ultimately gathering up all my belongings after the sale to vacate the property. I can’t stress enough how helpful she was in understanding where my key stress / anxiety points were and carefully navigating them. She was always understanding and accommodating when necessary. She was a pleasure to deal with. I then spoke with my neighbor and gave them my highest recommendation for Barb to be the listing agent on their house as well.......which she got and I believe is already under contract and in escrow."
