We found our dream with Helene! After going back & forth for 2 years between a remodel and buying a larger home, we decided to sell and find an agent for the purchase of a home that better suited our needs. How lucky we were to find Helene Barkin to represent us, both with the sale and the new purchase. We had heard of her many years of experience, skills, and successes but we never expected such a dynamo.
Helene guided us expertly and with wisdom through the process of buying and selling. She is steadfast, very detail-oriented, and totally trustworthy. I learned so much and was delighted by her quick and patient responses to my millions of questions. She knew just what to do at every step along the way, minimizing the anxieties of buying and selling and positioning us to be successful in a very competitive environment of multiple offers.
Always the consummate professional, when it came to preparing for the sale of our home, Helene showed us how to maximize the selling potential so effectively; we were astounded that our first open house brought record-breaking attendance, and the number of offers was off the charts, thanks to Helene’s expert marketing skills. Her communication was thorough and consistent and the final sale offer was beyond our most fervent hopes.
The home we bought was a dream come true; we couldn’t be happier. We are forever grateful to her.
I was seldom available, due to a busy schedule. Helene worked with great commitment, creativity and humor to help me accomplish my goals, one of which was to sell at a certain price. She was able to realize my desire to work collaboratively with her, and she initiated a plan that proved to be extremely successful.
It’s about who she is and how she conducts herself. Her way of conducting business resonated with me. Helene has a clarity of purpose. I think she is remarkable in the field.
Helene has an ability to be both a floodlight and a spotlight. She connects through many portals — cell phone, computer, multiple ways. When she needs to focus she is laser beam. Helene also loves being a floodlight — showing the big picture. She is a superb multi-tasker. She has lots of bandwidth.
From the start, Helene took a personal interest in meeting our needs. Due directly to her ethics, energy and drive, everything about this challenging process was as easy and successful as possible. We cannot compliment her enough for her wisdom, integrity and skill in the field.
I am a real estate attorney, and work with brokers regularly. Helene stood out to me as someone who was highly professional, reliable, compulsive about detail, and made my job as easy as it could possibly be due to her proficiency.
In just one meeting, she gained our confidence. We truly felt the power of working with a superb “buyer’s agent,” and we are grateful to Helene for investing herself fully in our house-buying experience. Her meticulous work was awesome, even by research scientist standards.
Helene demonstrated the highest level of professional integrity. Not once did we sense the kind of pushy salesmanship we’d experienced with other agents. We always had the impression she was putting our interests first. Helene should teach a course on the finer points of client-agent relations. She is truly one of a kind.
Helene is absolutely marvelous. She’s reliable, prompt, enthusiastic, frank, supportive, well respected and incredibly knowledgeable. She is a professional, and a star!
