“Barbi was patience, understanding and always took initiative. She made me feel like I was her one and only client. If there was a bump in the road she magically calmed me down with her positivity and determination to get to the bottom of things. Look forward to working with her again in 5-10 years.”

“Barbi is the best agent around. She did anything she needed to do to make an impossible deal work. She was very patient, compassionate and knowledgeable about the process. We can't wait to sell our previous home with her!”

“Barbi was a tremendous asset to have during this entire process. Ran into difficulties with the seller and Barbi was always there for us when we had questions or needed something to be pushed on our behalf.

The ultimate professional. Always an extremely pleasant time when connecting with Barbi via phone or in person.”

“Barbi was extremely hardworking and available at all times. We had to move up our closing by months to meet buyers needs, and Barbi stayed on top of all actions and keeping us updated appropriately.

My wife and I really enjoyed having Barbi as part of this hectic and stressful time of selling our first home. We always felt we were her top priority.”

Answered all questions and super helpful”

“As soon as we contacted Barbi about selling our house, she started working and did not stop until our house was sold and our new house was ours. We appreciate everything she did during the entire process. Our house sold in one day and we got asking price for it. We are very pleased with how both the sale and purchase came out. We could not be happier.”

“Barbi Blanke was outstanding. What made awesome was that no matter what time of the day, she always responded to me in 5 minutes or less. She also made the whole process so easy and was very fast when it came to writing the contract. She truly is amazing and made buying a home so easy and quick! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home because she pays close attention to detail, is fast and efficient, and really listens to her clients.”

“Charles Worsley is amazingly patient. I couldn't be more pleased with the both of them - he and Barbi Blanke. I can't imagine a better team to work with on something so stressful as selling a home. I was a mess through this whole process and they successfully sold my home - for over asking price - even dealing with my many 'freak out' texts after hours. This is how it's supposed to be done.”

“The level of information and service from Barbie was invaluable. She has a real feel for the industry and knows what is best for her clients.

Barbie went above and beyond all my expectations. It was amazing to me to see the difference in how other agents represented their clients compared to Barbie.

The best!

I loved having the title company located in the sales office for questions and reference.

When selling my home Barbie advised and pushed for me to take a back up contract. Good thing we did, as the first buyer defaulted and the second buyer worked out even better. Barbie kept me advised on all events, dates, and important terms through the entire contract. What an amazing Proffesional she is!”

“Wow! Barbi is the best of the best! She handled the sale of the house with ease. She was always accessible and was very professional. She is very friendly and honest with us about the home. She helped tell us how the house needed to get ready for showing.

Everyone that we met at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties were polite, energetic, and helpful. Everyone introduced themselves and answered any questions we had.

We are very happy with the selling of our home.

Barbi knew what wanted to move and before we even put the house on the market she had a potential buyer for it.”

“Barbi knew exactly what we were looking for in a new house and was great at getting us a good fair deal on a house!

Barbi was an amazing advocate for my family throughout this process. She was with us at each step of the way and was very accessible. Her knowledge, professionalism, and communication with us was top notch.

Barbi is an amazing person to have on your team when searching for a house. She sent many houses via the Internet and we went and saw a house and feel in love. She was with us each step of the process and answered all of our questions.”

“Barbie makes a point of understanding the customers situation and takes a polite professional approach to meet the challenges.”

“Barbi was outstanding in handling our concerns and she was always reliable and easily accessible. Top notch Realtor!!”

“We would recommend Barbi Blanke to all of our friends and family. In fact we have already referred her to a family member who will be closing on a home this week! Barbi brings a high level of customer service to the table, she pays close attention to every detail, and worked very hard to make sure that we got the house we wanted. Simply put, she exceeded our expectations from the very beginning and her desire to please us did not stop until we were moved in. When we told her we were putting our house on the market in Illinois, Barbi drove all the way over to our house to make sure we maximized the value of our home with how it was arranged and decorated even though she was not the agent. After we closed on our new home, she took the time to come over and help us move in and watch our 1 year old so we could focus on moving things in the house. It rained very hard when we were delivering furniture and Barbi even went to get a fan for us so we could dry our mattress and have a dry bed to sleep on the first night in our new home! My wife and I never felt as thought Barbi had her own interest in mind and at no point did we ever feel like she was using sales tactics to try and push us in one direction or another. She stayed focused on us and what we wanted and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. This experience of working with Barbi and Berkshire Hathaway was an extremely pleasant one and we would recommend going with Barbi and BH to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Barbi is a rockstar at what she does and we have no doubt she will go far in the industry. Thanks for everything and please feel free to have anyone interested in using your service contact us directly as a reference.”

“Barbi was amazing throughout the entire experience. She listened to my preferences and found the perfect place. She is so dedicated to finding her buyer's something that makes them happy. She even went door to door and left fliers in communities that I was interested in. Her quick communication was impressive from scheduling showings through the contract and getting to closing. She was very professional throughout the whole process even though I know her personally. As a first time homeowner that experienced some bumps in the process, I couldn't have found a better person to be working with.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Barbi Blanke when selling my home. From day 1, Barbi was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for my home to provide a better staging view for any potential purchasers. To state the least she motivated both my fiance an myself to have our home showtime ready!

Within the first 6 hours of being listed, we had two offers and accepted the one who offered 6k over our asking price! All throughout the negotiations and closing, Barbi was there quickly handling any matters that may have arisen.

She stood by our side and handled all of the ups and downs during the purchasing process. Her cat like reactions to any and all new listings has help land a contract on the house of our dreams!!

Thank you Barbi for you excellent work

Matt & Katie”

“Excellent communication and worked extremely hard. Very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.”

“Barbi Blanke was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finsh during our home buying experience. Barbi will have her clients best interest at heart and will go to bat for them. In past relocations we have been sold out by our agents who were just ensuring they captured their sale. Barbi went to bat for us during the contract negotiation and the inspection and as a result we saved thousands of dollars on our home purchase.

When I think about what someone should want in a realtor I truly think it should all come down to will your agent put your needs above all else. All the major companies have similar technology that will ensure you can find the right home, but what sets Barbi apart is what she will do for you once you have found the right home. in my mind, at the end of the day your realtor should be committed to you and that should be your top priority when searching for an agent.”

“Buying our first home, we had zero knowledge of what to do or what the process would be like. Amy is seriously an amazing realtor and an even better person. She guided us step by step through the entire home buying process and showed us multiple houses until we found the one that felt right for us. I’m literally sitting on my couch in our new home writing this review, and I couldn’t recommend her more. She’s fast, reliable, and truly cares about her clients. If you’re looking for a realtor, Amy is the one you want on your side.”

“She's the bees knees.”

“Darci is one of the best in the business. An advocate through and through, will get you what you need and not what you don't, and will help you every step of the way. Both a friend and shepherd through the process, especially as complicated and obnoxious as some of home-buying is, Darci makes the process painless while giving you the information you need to keep your mind and heart at ease. Would absolutely recommend her for any buying or selling agent work and if I ever have to sell my home, she'll be the first person I call.”

“Darci understood what we were looking for and helped guide us to a great decision. We appreciated her open and expedient communication. It was an overall excellent experience and we can’t recommend her and her team enough!”

“Darci is an amazing real estate agent. She took care of me and kept me very informed and was so on top of the process. I had moved out of state while my house was on the market and she eased my stress about the situation so many times. I’d highly recommend using her as your agent!”

“Amy was very helpful in showing us homes and providing advice. She was always professional and went out of her way to help us. She is a delight to work with.”

“Ms Searing is a top-flight buyer's agent! We are absolutely satisfied customers. She is knowledgeable, informative, and wily in the right way. And she could not have been any more pleasant to work with. To highlight one of her several virtues, in the fast-paced and complicated south city market of St Louis, for the type of home we were seeking, Ms Searing acted in a level-headed way, urging us to 'stay the course,' keeping us thoroughly informed in a timely manner, patiently explaining complicated issues (repeating them enough times for me to 'get' them), and the one time in over a year that she could not be with us for showings, she put us in the care of one of her excellent associates. Under Ms Searing's skillful guidance we are successfully purchasing a dream home, the one we like best of all the houses we looked at! Once again, thank you Amy.”

“Amy is the best. She listens, asks the right questions, and is very responsive. Thanks Amy!!”

“Darci is a superb realtor. She answered my questions and concerns with clear and direct answers and you can tell she has a lot of experience working in real estate. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.”

“I needed help with the staging and selling of my old house and purchasing a new one. I wanted someone who had decades of experience and could be direct and efficient. I am very grateful for the guidance and support she gave. It's a tough and emotional process and she was available for all the swings and swift actions that needed to be taken to react to them. She was also proactive and kept me and the team on task to reach my goals. I'm relieved to be HOME again and Darci got me there!”

“Answered all questions and helped us find a buyer!”

“This is my third transaction with Darci's help and I will never work with another team. Somehow, in this market, she was able to secure my perfect place AND negotiate for a brand new roof PLUS $10k off list price! She is incredibly knowledgable and smart and I appreciated her insights and guidance throughout the process. I would recommend Darci to anyone!”

“AMY & CIERA ARE THE BEST”

“Amy was incredible to work with throughout this experience and she made being a first time homebuyer a breeze. She was very thorough in inquiring what we were looking for in a home and worked diligently to find us houses that met that criteria. She was always prompt and quick to respond to any questions we had. I found Amy to be extremely trustworthy and knowledgeable and I valued her opinion and expertise throughout the process. There was a point early on, where I was starting to get a little worried that with the steep competition on the market right now that we would never find a house in our budget or we would have to settle for something we truly didn't love, but Amy was very patient and reassuring that we would find exactly what we were looking for. Not only did Amy find us our dream home in the ideal location, she negotiated us a price under asking! She made the entire closing process easy to understand and moved quickly so we could close without any hiccups. We've officially moved into our new home, I have no remorse and we couldn't be happier!”

“Darci worked with us to find the home we wanted. She made an effort in the competitive market to show us options to better understand what we were looking for and refine our search criteria; in a hot market like we were experiencing that was important. As first time homebuyers, Darci made sure to answer our questions and help us understand the process. She explained when we could be patient and when we needed urgency. When it came to contracts and negotiations Darci was aggressive and advocated for us. Homebuying can be stressful but Darci was a huge help in the process.”

“Darci made the entire process a breeze. So easy and enjoyable to work with. She is very honest and upfront about any concerns, and always had our best interest in mind.”

“Darci is a consumate professional who went above and beyond to help us find our home. She was available day & night to answer our questions and made this a smooth and pleasant buying process.”

“Darci is amazing! I really enjoyed working with her. She's professional, knowledgeable and really got to know me so she could respond to my needs.”

“Amy did a great job keeping the process moving ahead and closing on time. We are grateful for getting us through a very stressful time.”

“Amy was amazing! The communication between us and her was the best, always available to answer our questions no matter how big or small. She gave us amazing advice and we ended up in a home with instant equity. Best agent I have ever worked with!”

“Amy was very helpful in finding the home we were looking for, guiding us through the bidding process and then making sure we crossed all our t's and dotted all our i's in the closing process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.”

“Darci is the best. She was proactive and sent me listings that met my criteria, she was an advocate for my budget and knew my taste well. Darci helped me sell my home in 2020, buy a new one that same year and buy another home in 2022. I trust her and even granted her permission to tour homes on my behalf. I’m moving into a home today she saw for me. I put in an offer sight unseen because I trusted her judgement. No regrets!”

“Amy is a true professional and is probably the best corporate relocation agent in the USA! Because of my personal and family situation I had a very difficult wish list for Amy to work with. I asked for a townhouse or condo with a patio or deck for grilling, a storage unit or garage, and oh yeah a community pool would be nice and could I have that for under 1500 per month. Amy found me a place I love with the exact amenities, ALL OF THEM and oh yeah for 300.00 under budget. To top it all off I found out that because of my company's relocation policies she spent the night before meeting me taking an online course to meet the needed criteria. This is the kind of service I haven't experienced in many years. Amy is miles ahead of her competition because she listens and cares.”

“Darcie made the whole process so easy and walked us through any question or concerns we had. She was very responsive, did her homework, and always showed up when we needed her. Thank you Darcie for everything!”

“As first time home buyers, we really appreciated having Amy guide us through the home buying process. She was quick to respond to any questions we had, and she went out of her way to make sure we had all the information we needed to feel comfortable purchasing a home. We had a great time working with Amy!”

“We were moving from Seattle, WA so had to do everything remote and our move date was suddenly moved up. Darci was great and found us jus what we wanted”

“I have to give very high praise to Amy for the sale of our house. She was on top of everything that came up during the sale. When the offer was accepted she was always available to offer any insight she had. The buyers' relator was making it very difficult with getting paper work done, but Amy dealt with this and always communicated with us what was going on. She went above and beyond what was expected and could not be any happier.”

“Darci has been AMAZING throughout our adventure with her. She has been incredibly patient in the extended time it has taken our family to renovate my parent's home, and was able to get far more than expected when they placed their house on the market. We have been searching for a unique home - one with plenty of property included. There were many difficult hurdles that came with purchasing our home and she helped not only US in navigating each turn, but she also had to guide the sellers realtor at various points. I could not imagine having anyone else on our team. Very communicative, patient, understanding, informative, honest, and undaunted in making our dreams a reality. We are looking forward to her helping with the last step, selling my partners home in Hazelwood, and we have every confidence in her ability to make it happen when she says 'I will get you there!'”

“Buying a home in this market can be extremely stressful but Amy did everything possible to limit the stress, make it an enjoyable experience, and keep us in good spirits. Early on Amy recommended some great strategies that my husband and I weren’t quite ready to use. Amy respected our wishes and didn’t push us to do things we weren’t ready for. We ultimately ended up using the strategies that Amy recommended to get the home of our dreams but we appreciated Amy’s patience and kindness until we were ready to take her advice. The other great thing about working with Amy was working with such an honest person. She understood what we wanted and didn’t try to convince us that a house was right for us when it wasn’t. With Amy it felt less like working with a sales person and more like working with a partner who cared about us and our needs. It was so helpful to have an honest professional by our side helping us navigate this market. I love my home too much to move anytime soon but would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for help buying or selling their home.”

“Amy was excellent. She listened to what we were looking for and provided many homes for us to look at, gave us sound advice, and was always there when we had a question. Couldn't ask for anything more. She was amazing to work with.”

“Darci has been awesome with our issues when buying a farm with tenants. She goes above and beyond her job...even showing the sellers realtor how to fill out a specific form he had to submit She was able to secure a sale of our home over the appraisal price. Very smart person and tells it like it is, which is what is needed.”

“Tim made everything so easy for us from start to finish. We had no idea what we were doing and Tim helped keep us stress free. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone that needs help buying or selling a home. You can’t go wrong!”

“Darci is great! She went above and beyond and made everything easy and comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Darci helped walk me through everything as a first time homebuyer. Was willing to show me a ton of homes in this crazy market.”

“Darci helped us find a home that we love at the perfect price in a very competitive housing market. She's easy to work with, always available and ready to answer any questions you may have. There's no one else I'd rather use to buy a home!”

“As a first time home buyer, Darci was so patient and took the time to explain everything about the process to us. She was very easy to reach and flexible with our schedules for house showings, knew a lot about the housing market, and ultimately got us a house in a month in a time when people are struggling to get their offers accepted! We plan on recommending Darci to anyone we know who is house searching.”

“Darci was AMAZING! She held our hand through the entire process. So knowledgeable, honest and caring. 10 out of 10!”

“Darci is everything you’d want in a realtor. She knows the market exceptionally well and is able to set proper expectations when buying and selling. She’s quick to answer questions, is a great negotiator, and extremely skilled in finding a home that meets all your needs and is in your price range.”

“Thank you Darci for walking us through the process and into the perfect home! From squatters to not structurally sound houses - you made sure we kept our focus on finding the right home in the end!”

“Darci always had our best interest in mind and made sure to keep us informed every step of the way. Darci is the best!”

“Darci McAfee was great to work with. Very accessible, very knowledgeable and always had an answer to our questions. I would highly recommend and will not hesitate to use her services in the future.”

She was very communicative and thorough from the start of our Home search to the closing on our property. We would definitely recommend Darci to our friends and family.”

“Amy was an amazing agent! Everything went very smoothly. She was always very prompt to answer any questions we had, and she didn't know the answer. She would find out in a very timely manner. She also worked around our crazy schedules. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone who needs a wonderful and professional real estate agent. We are looking forward to working with her when we are ready to sell our house.”
