Barbara is an incredible real estate agent. She was very responsive to my calls and emails. Her extensive experience allowed her to be proactive to prevent problems before they happened. I just closed on my dream house for an excellent price and I couldn't be more pleased with all the help Barbara provided. I have bought several houses through agents before, and she is by far the best I have dealt with.

Barbara worked her tail off on my listing. I was contacted directly by the buyer, so the "selling" part of her services wasn't as involved as it would have been if we'd needed advertising and showings. Where her expertise and hard work really helped was making the house saleable beforehand. She suggested contractors, and worked with the contractors to ensure that the work was done timely and economically. She also helped me understand the process of selling the house. This was the first time I'd sold a house, and she was very helpful in the negotiation process and getting me all of the forms to sign. Her assistant, Kathy Coats, was also very helpul in this regard. Barbara is available well after normal business hours, and was really good about communicating and keeping me updated. You can't go wrong using Barbara as your realtor.

Barbara and her partner Kathy Coats were both incredible to work with! They made the process of selling our home so much easier and more pleasant than any previous experience had been. By providing us with advice on interior updates, they helped us make our home much more appealing to prospective buyers. They guided us every step of the way, communicating frequently and being constantly available for any questions. Their knowledge of the market and their marketing efforts were invaluable in keeping our listing fresh and top of mind for prospective buyers. We had great traffic and many showings. Best of all, they helped us to sell our home in a little less than a month. They brought great integrity and trustworthiness to the experience, as well as a warm and welcoming spirit that put us at ease during a difficult time. We would definitely recommend Barbara to anyone, and one of our family members is already using her services right now. If you need a great agent who will sell your home and keep you comfortable during the process, Barbara Lane and Kathy Coats are the right team for you!
Description of Work: Barbara Lane and her partner Kathy Coats did a great job in advising us on updates needed to our home, provided professionally produced photographs and video and marketing materials. They also coordinated excellent traditional and online marketing to keep our home in the public eye. They managed the showings, and monitored the market to get us the best possible price for our home. They kept us informed, and comfortable throughout the process.

Barbara Lane and her partner Kathy Coats provided excellent service. I found Barbara Lane on Angies list several months ago and upon contacting her she came out and immediately made many recommendations for selling our home. 1. Provided excellent references for contractors. Her recommendation for home contractors did excellent work and saved our family considerable money. 2. Provided contacts in the city we were relocating to (Colorado Springs) that helped us locate rental property in excellent school districts. 3. Sold our home for asking price in less than 60 days. What a relief! If you want to sell a home quickly in San Antonio I highly recommend Barbara Lane.

Ms Barbara Lane provided outstanding Real Estate services to my mother and me. I reside in Maryland, and I needed someone trustworthy in San Antonio to help me sell my mother's home. My mother is elderly and resides in a retirement center, so we looked at Angie's List. The house was vacant for over a year, and Ms Lane stepped right in guiding us along the real estate process. She told us what needed to be done to the house, and using her recommendations I solicited contractors using Angie's List as my guide. Her work with both the buyers agent, title company and bank assessor allowed the sale to go through expeditiously. She hit the mark for the price point for the home the first time. We received an offer within two weeks of listing the home, and the final price was very fair for the age of the house and its location. Many times during the process, I would send her an email late in the evening or early in the morning, expecting a reply next business day, but I usually received a response within the hour. She seems to be a professional who really enjoys her work. She is thoroughly tied into the information space using web listings and secure document signing sites, which working long distance made the process very smooth. She masters email, text or telephone calls, as whenever I used these mediums, I could expect a response rapidly and professionally from her or her assistant. I was thoroughly satisfied with Ms Lanes services, and I would recommend her without reservation to anyone in San Antonio requiring a realtor.

Barbara Lane is extremely helpful, providing sound advice and good leads. She has visited the property, engaged a contractor for us, and generated a very helpful report. She is always available by phone or email. Not only is she knowledgeable and courteous, she appears to take a genuine interest in our project. We would highly recommend Barbara Lane for any real estate endeavor.

She not only showed me dozens of homes during early evening hours, to work with my schedule, she also would work into the late hours of the evenings drafting offer paperwork. It was so effortless for me besides the massive amounts of reading (which everyone has to do when signing contracts!) She helped my fiancé and I find the best starter home available, and coached us through the offer and negotiating process wonderfully. I am proud to say that we closed on the house, and that she still keeps in touch! She wanted to know what our birthdays were so she could send us cards, and she already bought us a house warming gift. She also only showed us homes where the sellers agent was splitting their commission with the buyers agent, so that there would be no out of pocket cost to us at closing for her services. She knows what matters!
Description of Work: If you are a prospective first time home buyer, Barbara is fantastic. She was not only a real estate agent, she was more of a mentor that guided me through the home buying process. I know that I can be a little overbearing at times. I ask a lot of questions and need things to be explained to me a certain way so that I fully comprehend them. She was extremely helpful in educating me while working as my fierce representative. It is clear that she has been in the business for a very long time and has been very successful. While sometimes I may not have liked her advice, typically it all turned out to be spot on. You can absolutely trust her judgement. In a tough buyers market like San Antonio, she is definitely someone you want on your side.

I found Barbara on Angies list three years ago when my home was a rental property. She connected with a property management co. Which was excellent. Throughout the three years Barbara kept in contact with me and spent sometimes as long as an hour giving me information on the housing market in San Antonio. When I was ready to place my home on the market she had all the documentation on recent sales in the past 6 months which helped me to make a informed decision on listing my home. Because of the time she spent educating me, I was prepared to make the right decisions. The marketing was great my home flyer was beautiful with professional photography. My home was on the market for only one day and within 24 hours I received eight contacts. I closed on my home under a month. She is a professional realtor. I would recommend her to any person needing to sell their home.

To be blunt it went over like a fart in church. Being a renter it was known there was not much money to be made on me so i was put off to the side and given the run around. I will never use or recommend Barbra or her associates. No one should be treated as if they don't matter but in this case I go the short end of the stick. How she is top rated n the area is a shocker. She must cater to only the rich to keep her stats up. If you are looking for a realtor that takes your home/apartment hunt to heart Barbra is no it.
Description of Work: she passed me off to an associate because I was looking for a rental property and she didn't stand to make much money off me. Her associate took days to get back to me with any properties and when I finally could get her on the phone and a date to look at homes she was always busy and asked to re-schedule the dates the next day but never followed through leaving me to fine a home on my own. No services where provided, no help given and the lack of professional behavior was more than abundant.

Barbara helped me sell my home during the Christmas season within a month for a great price. She is the most professional, knowledgable and savvy realtor I have worked with (and I've known a few). Her services included determining a fair and acceptable price for the home, helping us get it ready for showings, including an open house, negotiating several offers and keeping us informed though out the way. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is on the lookout for a realtor.

Barbara is very capable, knowledgable, and a real professional realtor. She has been in the field for many years and really knows everything possible to make home search and purchase a successful process. We moved from Michigan to San Antonio and only had a long weekend to spend with Barbara to see houses and choose the best to purchase. Before we came to town, she listened very carefully to what we wanted in a home and then brought us suggestions based on our needs, not what she wanted to sell. The entire process was extremely positive. I knew that I had someone looking out for me and the success of the purchase from start to finish. Not being in the city except for the showings and closings concerned us but Barbara was truly our agent and handled things on our behalf without being asked. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying a home in San Antonio.

Barbara is very patient, professional, and responsive. I had numerous setbacks with getting repairs started due to the house having to go through probate, etc., but she was patient and continued to follow up with me throughout the process even though I was not even able to sign any paperwork with her for a long time due to the probate issues. I feel we have a mutual trust and understanding. She presented me with numerous comps along the way to help determine a listing price and explained the marketing process. I would recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home in San Antonio. Also, she speaks Spanish fluently, which enables her to communicate with a broader pool of contractors, which was very helpful. Now I just hope the house will sell quickly.
Description of Work: After my dad moved to a nursing home and later passed away, I needed advice on what improvements to make to the house to market it. My dad had smoked in the house for decades and never updated or cleaned anything. It was a mess. Barbara was able to make recommendations and connect me with local contractors to transform a wreck of a house into a place I would be proud to call home. Now that the repairs are complete, the house is on the market.

Barbara is professional, intelligent, hard-working and kind. She worked tirelessly on our behalf and found ways to make a difficult sale work. She was always available and willing to work with us to market and sell the house. She gave 150%. I would never use another agent and would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house.
Description of Work: We decided to put our house on the Market in December and contacted Barbara Lane based on the rave reviews she received on Angie's List. Barbara contacted us quickly, prepared a detailed and professional assessment of the market and guided us in pricing, showing, staging and selling of our home. She worked day and night to make the sale and within 4 months we had an offer we could accept. The negotiations and the sale were complicated on the buyer's side and Barbara stayed on top of the paperwork, the title company and the process from start to finish. The buyers wanted to purchase the lot adjacent to our home and Barbara found the owners and arranged the sale even though the buyer's agent took the commission entirely.

We can't say enough about how thoroughly knowledgeable, professional, and personable, Barbara is. We feel like she is our good friend. She has done so much to make the process easier, less stressful and getting the deals done. Barbara has got to be the hardest worker that we've ever met. She works endless hours to make sure that no detail is missed, and I can truly say that she always has her client's best interests in mind. She is there with you, providing updates, advice and counsel, every step of the way. Thank you Barbara!
Description of Work: Wanting to downsize, Barbara sold our Hill Country home for us and found us another home in San Antonio. She also has listed another piece of property that we own on Canyon Lake. We sold our home in about 4 months at very close to what we were asking, and closed yesterday. We are in the process of closing on the new home that meets our needs.

It was fine overall. We had some bumps in the road and miss communication issues. However she was pleasant and able to respond to request and questions. Again I would recommend Mrs. Lane.
Description of Work: We had hired Mrs. Lane to sell our home and buy a new home. We did find a new home however we were not able to sell our old home with Mrs. Lane. I would not say that is her fault. It just didn't seem to work out. She is great for buyers so if you are looking to buy a home I would still say to give her call to make an appointment. I just can't speak about selling since that didn't happen. I am sure other clients will be able to provide more information on their selling outcome.

She helped us to find a builder and a lot. Her commission was a part of the sale and it was based on the cost of the lot and house. She definitely went above and beyond. Before we bought this house we had to sell our previous house which was in Washington, so we needed a rental property while we were waiting to build. She didn’t have to help us find a rental property but she did. Her contact was constant and she was always available to answer questions. We have dealt with many realtors in the past because we bought many homes and so far she is best we have had.
