This is the 2nd time we've worked with Barbara on both selling and buying a new home. Her knowledge of the market, geographic areas and requirements made the process much smoother. She was always willing to go above and beyond whether answering questions, or facilitating introductions with vendors, banks, etc. And most importantly, Barbara was extremely responsive so we never had to wait and wonder what was going on.
By far the best realtor weve ever worked with. Off the charts, I cant recommend Barbara highly enough! Always prepared and punctual, she brought tremendous knowledge of the area, history, and the market to the table, was sensitive to and considerate of our needs, and always one step ahead with suggestions, answers, or solutions to issues we were either unaware of or hadnt considered yet during a very challenging time. Extremely personable, fun, friendly, energetic and passionate about all aspects of the business. Youd have to work harder than she does to find someone who works and cares more than she does. We were extremely fortunate to make her acquaintance via a family friend and neighbor.
Barbara is an amazing real estate agent! She is proactive and always responsive. I felt like we were a team from day one, and my move to a new location was successful because of her. She went above and beyond for me when it came to dealing with inspections and other logistics of the home-buying experience. She knows the market, has a fantastic network, and seamlessly guided me through the real estate process. A true professional all the way!!
We were empty nesters looking to downsize and move out of state and knew we had to sell our house of 30 years. This was a considerable task in and of itself not including putting the house up for sale. So we needed help. Luckily a friend referred us to Barbara Snyder of Coldwell Banker. We sat down and went over the ins and outs of selling. She gave us some great advice for consolidating the household and preparing for the move. She was a total professional, came well prepared with all the comps from the area and thought we would do very well in the current market. She set up a day for staging and brought in a photographer. The online presentation was superb. Her early estimate on the value of our house was well above what we thought possible but as offers came in at or above asking we were pleasantly surprised.
Barbara was professional, thoughtful, so helpful. I had some projects to complete before the sale, without her guidance, I would have been lost. She was so honest and helpful . I have recommended her to family and friends, who all agree, she's wonderful.
Barbara sold two houses for us and helped us buy one. She made the experience comfortable, always available for questions, and patient with us on each journey. Couldnt ask for a better partner with those life changing events.
When we first met with Barbara in early February she told us that if we could be ready to have our house on the market by the first of March, she felt we could sell the house in five days. Of course, that required a lot of work on our part to prep the house, declutter, and otherwise be ready. She was a disciplined coach helping us make decisions to best present our home to the market. On March 1st the listing went up. Something like forty people saw the house in the next five days. Five offers later we had sealed the deal well above the asking price. Between then and the closing she handled all the various tasks that needed to be completed including negotiating final terms. Barbara delivered well beyond our expectations. Thanks for a job well done! She sold our house in five days.
Barbara is knowledgeable (knows when to show, who to expect, has a good idea whats comparable and whats not) responsive (emails, calls, and texts are promptly returned), caring (if youre worried about an aspect of the sale or showing she wants to know), helpful ( great suggestions on improving your space to appeal to the largest audience), and a lovely person who cares about making sure your sale or purchase is the best it can be. Highly recommend.
Barbara worked as my realtor when I purchased my first home in 2015. She skillfully and kindly guided me through that process. With her help, we closed quickly and I was able to move in to a wonderful home within my preferred timeframe, which was a stretch! So, in 2022 when my mother and I needed help selling her home, I knew Barbara was the right person to work as our realtor. She listened to our priorities and advocated for them and us at every step. She was in regular and reliable communication with us throughout the entire process. We could both relax knowing we were in Barbaras highly capable hands. She handled everything and made the process as smooth as possible. Ive bought and sold a home with Barbara. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great realtor in the area aEUR" Barb is the best!
Barbara's professionalism showed through in everything she did, from the first visit to our home to the final close. She went out of her way to help my wife and I with all the little snags that pop up, such as hanging a mirror in our bathroom and repairing damage to our porch railing that our mover had hit. She was always available to answer questions and make suggestions. Her expert guidance was essential in preserving our "sanity" in a drawn-out sale.
We cant speak highly enough of our experience with Barbara Snyder. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. She is honest and hands-on (she even crawled into creepy attics to check insulation for us!), and she really helped to take the pressure off of us. We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the one and ended up in a bidding war, Barbara walked us through every step. And I know she wrote an excellent letter to the sellers to explain why we thought they should choose us. It was an FHA loan, she worked hard for us to get approved and we thank Barbara for that everyday! We have friends and family that soon will be needing an excellent real estate agent we are definitely recommending her.
Barbara is an experienced professional that goes above and beyond for her clients! She is truly an asset to all parties involved. Her experience and expertise in the industry is testament to that. Her ability to effectively communicate allowed us to secure a home in a competitive market but she also showed care and patience when it was needed (during the home search and at the closing). I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.
I do not exaggerate when I say that Barbara is the perfect real estate agent. My mother was selling the home she loved in order to be with family out of state. The sale was complicated because the house was built in the 1700s and therefore had many 'eccentricities', and the sale also involved an in-ground pool that was under major repair during the time the house was on the market. What's more, I live out of state so I was not regularly available in person to assist my mother with the process.Barbara was with us every step of the way, and never missed a beat. She understood how attached my mother was to the property, and was able offer her kindness and emotional support but also firm and thoughtful guidance. And she was a trusted and transparent partner to me as I dealt long distance with repair contractors, packers, movers, and of course offers as we worked through the sale. With all the 'above and beyond' support it's almost easy to forget how masterful she was at the fundamentals. She knows the Fairfield County market inside and out, and was able to obtain maximum value for the property, which ended up being more than we thought possible. She knew our attorney and worked hand in hand with him for a smooth closing, and whenever we needed any additional help, she always found someone, even to the point of asking her husband to re-hang a chandelier! And her support continued even after the sale went through. When I said that Barbara was with us every step of the way, I meant it. She was there as the last box got packed on the truck, and returned the next morning to be sure the house was ready to be turned over to the buyer. We literally could not have asked Barbara for more support than she gave us. She is truly unique amongst real estate agents. (And I've worked with my fair share!)If ever a friend is in need of a real estate in the Fairfield County area, I will not hesitate to recommend Barbara with the strongest conviction!
Barb was absolutely incredible! We were separated and living in two different states and wanted to be back together again. She took me house hunting between Christmas and New Year. She communicated with us, knew exactly what we were looking for in a home, and got us an AMAZING home. We could not be happier. The market is tough right now for buyers. She jumped right in and worked on our timeline without missing a beat.Would 100% recommend 10 out of 10! Thank you Barb!!!
Barbara was a great realtor, very compassionate and patient working with my elderly mother. As my sister and I live out of the state, Barbara took care of everything.
This was my second time selling a house with Barbara. She is super knowledgeable, helpful, and honest. Would highly recommend her as an agent for buying and selling. Top shelf agent!
Barbara made the process of selling my home seamless. Her expertise, and extensive knowledge of the local market were invaluable. She staged the home beautifully and was engaged and thoughtful throughout the process. I would highly recommend Barbara, she was very involved and answered all my questions quickly, and kept me informed and from the day we discussed the listing until we closed. I would highly recommend her, she was excellent and in this market I was so glad I had her as my realtor!
Purchased in Westport with Barbara and we could not have been happier. The entire process and her deep knowledge of the market and home values was essential. We love our house.
Barbara helped us buy our home five years ago and when we called to let her know we were moving out of state, she gave us great selling advice without ever putting any pressure on us. From helping us get the house picture ready to coming up with a plan for showings while still living there with two young kids, a dog, and working from home, Barbara was a trusted advisor throughout the whole process. She is a true professional and has a great network of local service providers who she works with. Once we were under contract, Barbara helped us negotiate various inspection requests, and even made phone calls on our behalf to schedule repairs. When our dishwasher suddenly stopped working two weeks before closing, she worked her magic to get a service technician out immediately. After we left town, Barbara made sure all the last-minute items were taken care of and our house was ready for the buyers final walkthrough. This was our first time selling a home and Barbara made the entire process much more manageable for us. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in the area!
Barbara Snyder is a tiger. She is keenly aware of every facet of the real estate business and process, and she will not let an issue stagnate without swift resolution. She has an incredible network of local resources that she can call on to quickly, effectively and economically take care of anything that arises so that closings can proceed as smoothly and timely as possible. Barbara also keeps in mind the needs of the other party involved and brokers deals that are fair and equitable leaving both the buyers and the sellers happy with the outcome. My husband and I have worked with Barbara on two real estate deals and I, personally, would love to take her with us on all of our moves so she can work her magic on every one of our property sales and acquisitions!
Barbara was so easy to work with, she was always available to answer any questions. She got us a very fair offer so both buyer and seller were happy. She also found us our forever home.
Barbara was wonderful to work with. She helped us every step of the way and made it easy even in these weird covid times - ensuring a process that kept us safe and comfortable when buyers came into our home. Her photographer and stager were amazing. She even helped us with contractors who came out immediately when a storm knocked a tree down 6 days before closing. Selling a home is stressful, but Barbara's attention to detail and willingness to step in and help whenever we needed her made the process easier.
Barbara helped us buy our home in CT, and then 5 years later helped us to sell it. She is a remarkable realtor, has deep relationships with specialists and experts to help get your home into tip top shape, and has a great balance of empathy, patience, and, confidence to help you structure the best possible deal for your property. Id recommend Barbara to anyone who wants to have an excellent experience through the property purchase or sales process and wants someone who is going to go out of their way to protect your interests. Oh, and her partner, Tim, is a remarkable woodworker and all around awesome guy; he not only helped to redo our back balcony decking, but also helped us fix a pocket door on a moments notice.If we were staying in the state, wed only go to Barbara for our next home. You should give her a call and see for yourself how awesome she is!
Barbara went out of her way to support our sale. Our home was empty throughout the winter months and she would periodically do a walk through for us. When our inspection came through with problems with our septic, Barbara found a reliable contractor, made a cash deal with him, using her own monies. Then, she supervised the whole process. Our home was on the market for a year and Barbara never pressured us to change our price. She was honest and direct with her advice to us. I would highly recommend her. Barbara, comes with a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience.
i live out of state and barbara kept me informed every step of the way. she kept my spirits high when i thought all was loom and gloom. i wish i wad more houses for her to sell, and if i could give her a ten i would.
A friend recommended Barbara as a realtor. I am so glad we were introduced. I apprecieated her knowledge and honesty. She would respond immediately when I reached out to her. Not only did she help me so much along the way of purchasing a house, I also now consider her a friend.
We were the purchases of a home that Barbara had listed and we ended up having her as our co-agent. She did a great job being fair minded to both sides and guiding us through the process. And she made the extra effort to deal with a variety of issues that came up along the way. We highly recommend her.
Barbara is the go to real estate agent. She understands the real estate market, knows how to market a house and sell it. She sold my house within the first two weeks of listing it. Barbara always responds to e-mails and phone messages. She has seen everything in residential real estate and her innate knowledge proved extremely valuable. She was the constant professional and I trusted her explicitly. I guarantee you will be happy to choose Barbara to buy or sell your home.
Having Barbara as our listing agent gave us peace of mind at every step of the process of selling our home. Her knowledge of the local market is second to none - she found a buyer for our house in Newtown within 2 weeks of listing at the perfect price point. From the initial listing through the offer, inspections, repairs, and closing, she coordinated everything flawlessly. We can't recommend Barbara highly enough!
Barbara was referred to us by a mutual friend. From the first time we met Barbara we were sold she was the right person to work with. She has a deep knowledge of the local market and was very proactive throughout the process to market the house. Barbara was also willing to go above and beyond for us to sell the house. We moved internationally while the house was on the market and Barbara stepped in to take care of everything all the way the through the closing. Barbara, thank you again for you everything!!

Our house had some challenges on the market, such as a hilly driveway, and far from town. We also had moved out of the house, over a thousand miles away but Barbara guided us in keeping the house show ready. Barbara helped set expectations with prospective buyers. She also generated a lot of traffic to the house through advertising and digital tools. Barbara was a great fit for us and was a tremendous help in selling our house.
Barber is one of the best real estate agent I have ever worked with! Being a real estate agent in the past I believe she did a better job than I could have done myself! The effort and ingenuity and fresh ideas as to how to market our property and get it sold for the best price and as quickly as possible was not an easy job ! Since every property is unique, it takes that special agent to recognize what the best approach and ideas are for that property so that it may be presented in the best possible to appeal to buyers !She went above and beyond the regular work an agent do and worked tirelessly seven days a week to make this sale happen for us! If anyone is looking for the top real estate agent to list and sell their property, look no further, Barbara Snyder is the absolute best you could possibly find !
My husband and I worked with Barbara to purchase our second home. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). She answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Her expertise and experience in the real estate market helped us tremendously. We highly recommend Barbara!
We are so lucky to have found and chosen Barbara Snyder as our listing agent. She was nothing but professional, knowledgable, experienced and overall wonderful to be around. Her expertise helped us get our home ready to sell and when the time came to list it, our house sold in no time. She was ALWAYS there to answer a question or guide us in the right direction in negotiations during the sale of our first house. We would recommend Barbara to anyone! Thanks Barbara!

If you are planning on selling your home I highly recommend contacting Barbara. She was a great partner with marketing and guidance on listing, showing and closing. Always available and we were constantly provided timely updates and recommendations every step of the way.
We had an outstanding experience with Barbara Snyder. She tried a variety of approaches to get our house broad exposure and was able to successfully help us sell our house at a fair price at a slow selling period during the year. We would highly recommend her!!
My husband and I were first time home buyers. We were incredibly nervous and indisicive.Barbara was there every step of the way. She was patient and knowledgeable about the houses we looked st, the neighborhoods and areas. After long negotiations and emails back and forth we were able to buy our dream home thanks to Barbara!
Barbara was wonderful to work with; our transaction was not easy due to being a short-sale and having difficulty with the bank. She worked diligently to get the transaction approved and the house sold. She was available 7 days a week when I had questions or concerns. She is knowledgeable and very experienced. I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling.
Barbara was fantastic and helped is find the perfect home. We highly recommend her! She helped us narrow down our choices, and ultimately decide on the best house. She also helped us through the process.
After a very long, but unsuccessful, house hunt, my fiance and I sought the assistance of Barbara Snyder. She knew we had a small time frame, we were very anxious to move, and she really stepped up to the challenge. We now have a great home we look forward to enjoying for years to come. She knows the area very well, was always available (even on short notice), and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend choosing Barbara as a realtor!
I was very impressed with Barbara and her ability to manage a complex transaction seamlessly. There were many moving parts and I feel as though Barbara kept un in the loop at all times. There's nothing worse than not knowing what is happening and Barbara ensured that we knew exactly what was happening with both sides of the transaction. Communication skills were exceptional and she helped us to overcome some significant barriers in the process.
Thanks to Barbara we sold our starter home and purchased our DREAM HOME in just 2 months! She was outstanding to work with and we highly recommend her! We were impressed with her outstanding communication skills and attentiveness to us. This teacher gives her an A+++++ !
Barbara was very patient and careful to understand my specific needs and preferences. She previewed so that I would not have to waste time if the unit was unsuitable for me. Her knowledge of the different sections and styles helped guide me. Also, Barbara recommended people I needed to complete this transaction and it went smoothly. I'm glad Barbara is my real estate professional.
Barbara represented us in the sale of our Sandy Hook home. Although the CT market is languishing, we received a bid for our house and closed on the sale.
Barbara was great to work with. We came to her with a house we already had in mind to buy after a friend referred her to me. She helped us with the whole process and was very responsive, night and day. She's very easy to get along with and knowledgeable. We used all of her recommended inspectors, lawyers and broker and they were all great. She was on top of getting everything done on time and coordinated everything. When the seller was being difficult, she made sure we were covered.
Barb helped us corporate relocate from out of state. We moved half way across the country into a very unfamiliar area having no idea about CT. She first helped us find a rental to get to know the area. She worked with me tirelessly over FaceTime looking at homes I couldn't view in person myself in preparation for our corporate relocation. She negotiated our rental and after 9 months she helped us purchase our new home in Newtown. So in less than a year we used Barbs services twice! Never even questioned who we wanted to help us with our purchase!Everything was new to us from gas utilities to water wells. She not only helped us find the homes we needed but took time to explain these oddities of living in CT to us. She even went further with helping us find contractors on our home purchase to gain accurate negotiation figures for purchase. She only used trusted people and places her clients safety and financial interests above her commission! Not many realtors will go out of their own pocket to get a second opinion after inspections to insure your purchase is in your best interest! She did this without us even asking because she truelly does care for her clients! Barb is very warm, has a great personality, and is fun to be around! The best type of realtor us total newbies to an unfamiliar area needed! We can't recommend her highly enough for the amount of help, time, patience, and personal attention to detail she provided for us! You won't go wrong having her as your realtor! Especially if your relocating and need that extra attention... stop looking you found your realtor in Barb!
Barbara was patient and responsive during the arduous and emotional process of selling our family home. I am so grateful to her for her reassurances that the house would sell - and it did! She made a trying and difficult period so much easier. Highly recommend!
We would like to highly recommend Barbara. She did everything very well. She paid for a staging consult and professional photographer, and managed to keep a steady stream of buyers walking through in a somewhat down market. She was with us through all inspections, and provided tremendous help getting through the closing process. Extremely professional, she returned all texts and emails promptly. Please consider Barbara when choosing an agent.
