"We had the fortunate and absolute pleasure of finding Barbara LaVey and subsequently working with her over the course of the last few months. Barbara is the consummate professional who understands the Half Moon Bay market as good as anyone. She knows the history of all neighborhoods, builders, coding, etc. which is invaluable when making a home buying decision. Beyond that she is tireless and goes to great lengths and research to provide exceptional service. We give Barbara a “10” for being what we all want in a real estate professional!"

"Jan and Barbara are coastal experts! They are willing to share their knowledge of all the coast's resources, from the best electricians to hidden gems usually known to locals only. Working with Jan & Barbara is always a pleasure! "

"I used Jan and Barbara to sell my aunt's house in Palo Alto. They did such a great job! They are extremely knowledgeable, had a wonderful group of people to help get the home ready to market and they kept me informed through out the whole transaction. It sold in a week with three offers over asking!"

"Barbara and her team are the best! Barbara has so many great resources to prepare your home for sale, and was hands on to get our house ready for sale in 2 weeks. Strong marketing and photography. We had multiple offers in 7 days, and closed our home fast and easy. Thanks Barbara!"

"Jan and Barbara are fantastic realtors. They were professional and held my hand throughout the process. I was impressed on how they always kept me informed. I had a renter in a second unit on the property which could have caused problems but they handled it with no issues and were considerate of his situation. I love these ladies!! They helped me move on and start my best life!!!"

"Barbara and her team, in the face of Corona and other challenges, did an amazing job. They took an enormous burden off us with their energy and optimism and professional connections. They kept renovation costs as low as possible, while still making the house beautiful and inviting for potential buyers. The house sold faster than we expected, and we were thrilled with the price. We could never have done it without them. Thank you!!! "

"Barbara and Jan saved the day with their vast knowledge when we bought a house on the South Coast! To this day my appreciation is deep!"

"Barbara and Jan helped us buy our home in 2005. I turned to Barbara when I was ready to sell. She was professional, and guided me in every step of the process. She was clear on what my expectations should be and advised me of what steps to take. She had a slew of professionals to help make the property more appealing. She helped with all of the inspections. She made it easy for me. She sold it over listing price in 8 days with a 14 day closing. Whew, I am so happy."

"Barbara and Jan, We have very much appreciated your professionalism and courtesy in working with you in all our 3 transactions. One word can describe your work: EXCELLENT and highly and without hesitation highly recommend you. Thank you, Guy and Nadia "

"Barbara went above and beyond handling details I was unable to (being several hours away from El Granada). She new the professionals to bring in for inspections, cleaning, selling unwanted things, staging and many other details. Marketing a 100 year old cottage on a prime lot wasn't routine and Barbara was more than up to the task. I can't imagine a better relator to work with and recommend Barbara wholeheartedly."

  -Toshinao Kanno, Client

"What an awesome experience working with Barbara and her team! My husband and I have bought and sold many properties in various states over the years and have worked with dozens of realtors. Barbara is, by far, the most outstanding realtor we have ever dealt with. We met Barbara when we were selling an estate home in the Bay Area that certainly had its challenges, and selling from across the country is no easy task. Barbara went above and beyond the normal 'call of duty', going the extra mile to ensure the house was sold expeditiously. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable in her field, she is a very personable and caring person who always had our best interest in mind. Thank you Barbara, you have one incredible team (thank you also to Jan, Martha, and Nereyda!) We truly were blessed to have you as our realtor, and now friend!"
