Rachael's knowledge of the market is top notch, she knew what it would take to get multiple offers on our home and to even get offers above the asking price, But she didn't stop there, she was on top of the appraisal and kept pushing for all to work out for our benefit. Communication was always quick and precise. I recommend her to everyone I know
Cherie was very encouraging and helpful in getting my house prepared to put on the market. She connected me with people who helped me dispose of unnecessary furniture and who got the house clean and sparkling. She and her assistant Jason were very knowledgeable and savvy about photographing and displaying my house in the best possible light. And at the end, when I had several bids on the table, she guided me as to which one to concentrate on and negotiated a higher price from that party. In summary, I was very pleased with the job she did and would happily recommend her to others.

Barb is extremely responsive and there are times I’ve had to reach out on weekends or nonbusiness hours and she is always happy to help which makes me feel reassured.

If I could give Barb Bloomfield more than five stars, I absolutely would. As first-time homebuyers serving overseas in Peru, purchasing a home felt incredibly intimidating. We were thousands of miles away, balancing military responsibilities, work travel, and demanding schedules, all while trying to make one of the biggest financial decisions of our lives. We couldn’t walk through homes in person, and to be honest, we weren’t even entirely sure what our dream home looked like yet. That’s where Barb became so much more than a real estate agent. From the very beginning, Barb took the time to truly understand us. She didn’t just listen to our list of wants and needs, she learned who we were as people. She paid attention to the little details, our preferences, our personalities, and the things that would make a house feel like home. She could walk into a property and instantly know whether it was right for us before we did. She never approached this process as a transaction. She approached it as a mission. While we were focused on serving overseas, she was focused on protecting our interests. She consistently advocated for us, provided honest guidance, and ensured we never spent more than necessary. Her negotiation skills and attention to detail ultimately saved us money and helped us receive more than we ever expected throughout the process. Barb never made us feel rushed, uninformed, or overwhelmed. Instead, she patiently explained every step, educated us on the home-buying process, and gave us the confidence to make informed decisions. By the end of this journey, we didn’t just purchase a home, we gained knowledge and peace of mind because of her guidance. She became our eyes, ears, and advocate when we couldn’t be there ourselves. Because of her dedication, professionalism, patience, and genuine care, we are now moving into a home that exceeds anything we imagined. Barb accomplished what felt impossible, and we will always be grateful for everything she did for us.

Working with you made the home-buying process feel smooth and stress-free. Your communication, professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication truly stood out every step of the way. You always made sure my questions were answered and fought for my best interests throughout the process. I’m so grateful for your patience, guidance, and hard work. I would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable real estate agent!
Cherie and Jason were awesome to work with as we sold our house. They were professional, on time, gave clear direction on how to make our house ready to sell and provided timely feedback on open houses. Highly recommend working with Cherie and Jason!

Barb was recommended to us from two different friends of ours. I am a second time house buyer, and this experience was light-years ahead of my first. Buying a house from 2,000 miles away was actually a good experience where any question was answered, recommendations given when asked for, and was able to negotiate terms with the seller that worked great for everyone. I am usually very busy with work, and if not, I'm busy with school. Barb was able to help me through my schedule and when I was traveling to make everything work perfectly. This is the realtor I would recommend to friends and family.
Great communication. Very strong understanding of market values. Very professional with wonderful negotiating skills
Pat is truly a professional and expert. She was great at helping us navigate through the entire process and set us up to ensure we had success. She is very responsive and has a great system for everything running smoothly from showings to paperwork, and we were thrilled with the outcome.
Cherie and team were incredible. They made the selling experience a pleasure. They set upfront expectations throughout the process, were always available for questions, and went the extra mile helping with furniture sales. I’d absolutely use them again.
