Testimonials

Our journey with Randy began with a five-hour tour of the Main Line in the back seat of her car, loaded with refreshments. She drove us through all of the different towns to learn what area would best suit us. I've never heard of another realtor taking the time to do that! We decided to stay in the city to save up some more money and came back to her last year, picking up right where we left off. Randy was always so available to us, even when I would ask her to meet somewhere at the last minute, even on weekends. As we got close to buying our dream home, she was really on our side as we dealt with a difficult seller. She spent a great deal of time with me on the phone, listening to my concerns and easing my worries. She was beyond professional through intense negotiations and we couldn't have gotten through it without her. Her honesty and sense of humor made her a pleasure to work with. Now that the search for our home is over, we are excited to have her as a lifelong friend!

Timely communication, great advice and excellent service are three qualities you hope for in selecting a realtor. In Ben Hearn of Compass Realty, I got them all. Ben is a straight shooter. He sat down with me to explain the full range of options I had in selling my condo. He helped me understand my unit’s assets and liabilities from a buyer’s perspective. He motivated me to take the steps necessary to properly market my assets, offering a “concierge” service to prepare the unit that made my expenses part of the package, a qualified loan that let me get right to work. Advising me to photograph the property with selected furnishings and finding a photographer with a great eye for staging, Ben put together a comprehensive sales portfolio of clean lines that sold the assets beautifully. Adding community photos established context for a unique place to live in a dramatic building. In its first 10 days on MLS, my unit saw eight prospects and received a solid offer—95 percent of my asking price. Ben and I agreed to take it, and within two months we went to settlement with a well-qualified buyer. Throughout the process Ben guided our progress. I always heard from him when it counted, no surprises. In our current upside down world, confidence in an organization and in its individuals must be earned. Ben Hearn of Compass Realty earned my trust and appreciation. I would recommend him unreservedly to earn yours.

I can't say enough about our experience with Randy. I recommend her to anyone and everyone searching for a realtor. She'll give it to you straight and help you find a home within your comfort zone. A wonderful person and realtor.

Randy has a wonderful manner. She is a pleasure to work with.

When we made the decision to sell our home after 24 years, it was a big deal. We needed to work with an agent who knew our neighborhood intimately and would be able to get us the best price possible for our home. We asked different people for recommendations for agents and it was clear that Randy Barker was the person for us. Randy guided us through one of the most intense, overwhelming period of our lives: downsizing. Her advice of "do a little something every day" became our mantra. She did everything possible to help us. She was an excellent resource for contractors, painters, carpet people, etc. She also checked in with us on a weekly basis which made us feel that we mattered to her and that she really cared. The stager and the photographer, that Randy brought in, did an AMAZING job of putting our house together and then taking pictures that truly captured its beauty. Our house sold in one day and it did that because of Randy. We highly recommend her.
