We have bought and sold with Barbara. She is the BEST in the business by our standard. Barbara Jeffries has the expertise, experience and ethics make her a truly outstanding real estate professional. But, beyond the duties of her job, she has become one of our family’s closest and most valued friends. When we first met (by random chance) over a decade ago, I wanted to invest in my first home, but did not know where to even start. She was there to earn my trust, guide me and teach me everything there was to know in a way that made it fun and exciting. Having been through many transactions with her, I feel a great sense of confidence whenever I work with her to make real estate decisions of my own. She was a helpful shoulder to cry on when things didn’t work out and the stable rock we needed to guide us forward when times got tough. We eventually found the perfect place to call “home” and truly believed your mantra that “everything happens for a reason.” It has been almost nine years since we settled into our first home and that saying continues to be part of our daily philosophy. Over the past nine years, she had helped us settle into our home, attended our wedding, worked tirelessly to keep our dreams alive, listened to our stories and watched our family grow. She did it all without any expectation of reward from us. Her reward always seemed to be her ability to genuinely revel in other people’s successes as if they were her own. Friendships like the one we have with Barbara don’t materialize very often, but when they do, we’re certain that they “happen for a reason.” I believe that reason is to remind me to always be grateful for the people who are always there for you. With that, I express my most sincere gratitude for all of Barbara’s support.
