98% of homes buyers shop initially and eliminate homes ONLINE based on the photos, if you don’t get this write, you won’t know who eliminated your home!
Most buyers spend less than 1 Minute viewing homes online.
A majority of that time, 28 seconds is spent looking at the outside, which curb appeal is so important and the backyard! This is a clue! Curb Appeal is massively important!
We invest a lot of marketing dollars helping our sellers present their homes to the market in the best possible manner:

So what are the Top 5 tips for Staging!?

If you plan to sell the home vacant, we have a solution to make it look great!

Most buyers do not have the ability to visualize very well.
We can virtually stage a home, insert, furniture, artwork, even rugs.
I have a few examples here and it looks real!

The biggest issue is clutter for most owner occ homes: Our stagers help with that.

Take photos before and after
Remove throw rugs, dish towels, stuff off the kitchen and bath counters
Clean, clean, and clean more.

We don’t shoot closets and garages but try to make those spaces look large
stacking stuff off the floor of closets
stacking boxes to 1 side in the garage.
Focus on the exterior, living room, kitchen, master bath, and master bedroom.

It was great to work with Barb and her team at Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty. We received multiple offers, and our home sold swiftly for well over asking price! From the amazing photography and very successful open house, through the smoothly orchestrated closing process, we appreciated Barb's communication, expertise, professionalism and personalized attention to detail. We look forward to working with Barb and her team in the future, and highly recommend Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty! Diane S

After hearing about Barb on the radio we had to call. Her team helped us prepare our home for sale and to our surprise we not only had 120 people visit the home in 1 day but we received multiple offers and she sold our Briargate home for $30,000 over our asking price! We had a quick sale and her team handled everything so we could move out of the state early & worry free!" John & Kathy

Kathy Seavey

This was certainly my most pleasant real estate experience. Honestly Barb and her team are exceptional. Any question or concern was taken care of and she sold for 12% over asking price. I wish Barb worked where I’m moving so that I could hire her again. This is coming from someone who has purchased several homes. By far she is the best that I have worked with.

We hired Barb to sell our home in Calhan. We got several great offers and it sold for $15,000 over our asking price in just 5 days. Having formerly been a Real Estate agent, it was so refreshing to have a great agent like Barb who fought for us all the way to closing. She was so helpful and professional. Barb was always available when we needed anything or had questions. We highly recommend using Barb Schlinker to sell your home.

Paul & Sandi Billig

We hired Barb to sell our home in Security. We accepted 1 cash offer within 30 hours of listing and it sold for $11,000 over our asking price. Her staff was wonderful and we were thankful for the use of her convenient moving truck. We highly recommend using Barb Schlinker to sell your home.

Dennis & Joan Musick

We talked to several agents but it was clear Barb has the best marketing to get us the most money. Best of all....she sold our home for at $30,000 over what the other agents said it was worth. We moved out and left the home in her hands. Barb and her team were amazing and we did not have to worry about anything. While we were enjoying family in another state, Barb's team sold our home and it closed in just 3 weeks! We highly recommend Barb and her team!

Dennis and Angie Snyder

We had our remodeled home on the market for months over the summer. There were over 100 showings but now offers. We called Barb to help and we are so glad we did. She put in staging furniture, took some great photos and exposed our home to her database of buyers in waiting. Our home sold in 1 week for $10,000 over asking price.

3605 Meadowland Bl – Rob Walto & Jessica

It was time for us to downsize and sell our Fountain home and move closer to our grandkids. We heard about Barb Schlinker on Richard Randall’s show. We hired Barb to sell our home in Fountain and buy another home. She sold our home sold for $5000 over asking price in the 1st weekend. Timing the move so we did not have to move twice was a challenge, especially because we had to complete an insurance claim from last summer’s hail damage. Barb’s team handled everything and was able to close on time and move straight into our new home. We highly recommend Barb Schlinker.

8354 Silver Glen - Sam & Tina San Miguel

Barb is calmly confident and competent. Her knowledge of her craft is very impressive. We have sold two houses using her services, and I can assure anyone wishing to sell their property, they will be impressed and happy with the process and the results if they use Barb as their real estate agent.

Frank Steyaert

I needed to downsize to a smaller home. Barb and her team were so helpful. She showed us how to get the home ready to sell. It worked out so well that she sold my home for $15,400 over asking price in just a few days. She then went on to find a great deal on a smaller, brand new home. It was great to be able to use her moving van. Barb worked it out so we could move right into the new one early on the day of closing! I highly recommend Barb, Wendy and the whole team...

Daniel Vigil

Barb was able to help us reduce our property tax valuation by over $221,000! What a savings on property taxes and insurance premiums! She uses a formula that accurately assesses the value of one's home. She was very prompt and very pleasant to work with. We highly recommend her for all real estate needs.

Edie Darrah

If you're looking to buy or sell property, look no further. Barb Schlinker Team is great at what they do and guide you along every step of the way. Barb is very committed to customer service and 5-star service. Thank you for your high standard of excellence... Highly recommend!

Clarisa Mae Garrovillas

After trying previously to sell with no result, hiring Barb was a refreshing experience. She sold our home for $57,000 over asking price in just one week and it was a very easy sale. Her and her team handled everything so we just needed to move. We highly recommend using Barb to sell a home.

Dave Potter

As a busy professional living in Denver, I had very little time to deal with selling my rental townhome. Barb and her team took care of everything, met the former tenant to turn over the property, took care of repairs, installed attractive staging furniture, took great photos and the results were excellent! She sold my townhome in a very short time at a full asking price. I closed remotely without even visiting the property. I highly recommend Barb Schlinker.

324 E Fountain Bl – Benjamin Butler

We know many real estate agents and our experience with Barb Schlinker is by far the best! She is very personable and professional. True to her commitment, she and her team were always very responsive and timely in answering any questions or concerns we had. She not only commanded 10 offers in a weakening real estate market but she was able to help us negotiate for the top dollar and get the most money for our Mom's home. Pete & Irene

Peter Knudsen

The whole experience working with Barb Schlinker and her team was extraordinary. From advice to prepare for sale, beautiful staging, support with moving and great communication, Barb is by far the best choice to sell a home in the Colorado Springs area.

Dave & Martha Pitts

We needed to sell our 3rd story condo so we could buy our ranch style home. The former agent we hired could not sell it and only suggested to lower the price to get it sold. We hired Barb and we are so glad we did. She helped us do some updates that would command the highest sales price and her team sold it quickly at the full asking price.

2949 Mesa Rd #C, - Keith & Lisa Sheldon

We are so glad we hired Barb Schlinker to handle the sale of our home. We were on a short time crunch to sell right when the market was slowing down. It was great that Barb’s knowledge of pricing got us the highest price for our home in the shortest amount of time. Barb will not hesitate to resolve issues quickly when they arise. After moving out we discovered the washer and dryer should have been left but was loaded on the truck. Barb took charge of the problem and quickly purchased a used set for us that satisfied the contract and had it installed in 1 day. By her team’s swift action, she ensured a smooth and timely closing. Bill & Sherie

Sherie Shupe

We were thrilled to have Barb sell our home and so pleased that her strategy commanded $44,380 over the asking price! We highly recommend Barb Schlinker and her team to sell your home, the whole process went very smoothly." Mike and Angie

Angela Carl

Barb exceeded my expectations. She was a Blessing and also I don't think I couldn't have done any better. Thanks Barb and continue doing Steller work for your customers

Joef Fagan

We heard about Barb from our contractor who is a radio fan. We knew once we hired Barb it was the right decision to help us sell our parent's home. Barb gave us great advice on what to do to sell our home for the most money without spending too much money to update the home. The results were great. In just a few days Barb had a huge crowd at the Open House, over 85 visitors and it sold for $75,000 over the asking price. They made the whole process easy for us to manage while traveling between several states and we especially appreciated the move out cleaning service as well as the help removing unneeded items. We highly recommend Barb to sell your home!

J. D. R. Hawkins

Barb was extremely helpful to my brother-in-law, Ed, when he appealed the county assessor's valuation of his home. We learned of Barb through her very informative radio program on 710 KNUS. Barb did a thorough search of property sales and provided Ed with 3 comparables for use in his appeal. And Barb did this very quickly since the deadline for the appeal was fast approaching.

Martha Fitzpatrick

Selling our home with the Barb Schlinker Team is the best experience we could have hoped for. Our home sold for $70,000 over asking price the first weekend, then she reached out to help us with information to purchase our next home. We highly recommend using Barb and her team to sell your home in the Colorado Springs area. Patrick & Insuk

Patrick Phillips

We work out of state for most of the time. It was so comforting to know we had Barb Schlinker and her team there to support us throughout the sale. Barb and her team were excellent communicators and helped us sell our Black Forest home from a far at a great price with very little effort on our part. – Andy and Rene

Andy Taylor

It was so refreshing to have Barb and her team sell my home. I moved before the home went on the market and they took care of everything including the final clean out and carpet cleaning. After receiving multiple offers, it was someone on Barb's Team who brought me the best buyer who bought my home with cash at $35,000 over asking price. The result was a smooth on-time, quick closing.

Laurie Cammack

Barb and her team are exceptional to work with!

Tammy Becker

Barb and her team worked hard throughout the entire process in selling our home. Barb always took the time to answer any questions we had. We sold our home for $65,000 over asking price. We would highly recommend Barb if you are thinking about selling your home. Ed and Michelle Thompson

Edward Thompson

When the time comes for me to sell I will be contacting Barb. She personally contacted me with information and the Comps necessary to appeal the out of line assessment of my house. Thank you so much!!!
