ZillowVERIFIEDI was referred to Barb Cullen as an expert realtor in Newburyport based on her reputation, and to say that she far exceeded my expectations is an understatement. I learned that Barb is a longtime resident in the community and it shows in her deep knowledge of the local real estate market, and the community which was new to me. She was responsive to all of my communications, including while she was on vacation and when I contacted her for assistance after the sale closed. She provided me with sound, appropriate advice about the property and helped me navigate the sale negotiation (her guidance proved effective!). She also connected me with ancillary contacts needed for the transaction, such as a home inspector and insurer. By sharing her network with me, she facilitated a smooth transaction since I was new to the city and I didnt have contacts needed to complete the purchase. Barb is the consummate professional and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Of note, when I mentioned to other realtors, while viewing their properties, that I was Barbs client - realtors who are technically her aEURoecompetitionaEUR? - they all spoke so highly of her, unsolicited by me; perhaps the ultimate compliment. Many thanks to Barb for helping me to purchase my new home!
