This is my second time working with Barbara. First time was during buying process and second was during selling process. So I can say for certain that she is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects from beginning to end of the entire process: paperwork, to advise on the area and being able to market. She even talked with potential buyers to answer their questions which I believe also aided in the sale of our home. She goes above and beyond in more ways than I can convey in this testimonial. I will be recommending her to everyone I know looking to buy or sell.

Barbara went above and beyond. Seriously. She is a treat to go on home tours with and has so much knowledge about the communities and the market. Her sense of humor and diligence made the home buying process so so easy. She was kind enough to welcome us into her community and helped us keep the eye on the prize. I've never felt more taken care of and can't put into words how much I appreciate how hard she worked and how easy she made the process.

Barbara helped us look for a home to buy in Carolina Beach / Kure Beach; since we were two non-locals, she really helped us navigate and better understand the area as a local herself. She is knowledgeable, patient, and honest. It was clear that she had our best interests in mind. In a seller's market, where inventory was low, Barbara was quick to notify us and schedule viewings when listings came up. She worked around our schedule, and she was both efficient and thorough when it came time to submit offers. We felt well very well taken-care of from start to finish with Barbara.

To start off with I can’t say enough about Barbara. This house that she sold for me has so many memories that it took me a few years to even think about selling. This was going to be a retirement place for my husband and me. He passed away 5 years ago this month. It was a very difficult decision for myself and my kids and grandchildren but Barbara made everything so easy. I can definitely recommend her to anyone selling their home. She’s kind, so knowledgeable, and a very caring person. And patient with my million questions. She’s always quick to respond and I can say you won’t be disappointed. Let Barbara be your agent if you want to sell your home. She can make it happen. Thank you Barbara for everything!!! We will always stay in touch.

we've always used Barbara. With this latest home purchase, we had our heart set on a home and yet she found another one even better than the one we had picked out right at the last minute. We've been pleased with her guidance and expertise. If you simply want a realtor, call one up off google, but if you want someone who truly cares about the front end and the back end of your experience, choose Barbara. She also helped us sell our home and did a good job negotiating.

Barbara Bass is the bomb! She truly performed over and above what I have ever experienced from a realtor. She knows the Carolina Beach market intimately and provides every detail pertinent to the sale without being asked. She went so far as to help me sell household items and satisfy a punch list of repairs IN MY ABSENCE! Her responses to my many questions were immediate. She negiotated a good fair price and timely closing date for me despite several obstacles from the buyer. She is the best and most professional realtor I have encountered in my long lifetime. I highly recommend her without reservation

I can't say enough good things about Barbara!! She was a fantastic agent. From the moment my wife and I expressed interest in scouting the area for our second home, Barbaras was responsive and available at a moments notice. She was thorough in deleoping a plan for our search and always seemed to anticipate what properties we might be interested in. She provided suggestions that helped us fine tune our housing needs. Her local knowledge of the Pleasure Island area, building codes and costs for repairs/upgrades allowed us to make an informed decisions about a home would fit our budget and desires Her easy going attitude made her a joy to interact with on a regular basis and today I list her as a good personnal friend, and neighboor after purchasing a home in Kure Beach NC.

Barbara is a true professional and very knowledgeable concerning coastal properties. The virtual tour and aerial shots, were well done to show a true picture of the property for out of town prospective buyers. She kept us informed every step of the sales process as far as market activity, showings, and feed back from showings. We sold in approximately 90 days even with interest rates increasing, low inventory, high construction prices and a slower market. You can trust Barbara to guide you every step of the way in the sales process and offer good, sound advice.

Barbara was committed to helping us from day one. She went beyond just setting up a search of areas we thought we were interested in to listening to what we were looking for in a property and making additional suggestions of properties and areas we should consider. Trying to do a search, make offers, and close remotely was a challenge that may not have been possible without Barbara. She is great!

We are very pleased with Barbara Bass of Coldwell Banker. She showed us several properties which were what we were looking for as far as layout, but were not “the one”, which finally led us to the perfect house at Carolina Beach. It was a new property being built and she guided us through the process of the purchase and made sure we were pleased with all our options. Throughout the process of building up until closing Barbara helped with the walk through in getting every detail perfected to our liking. Her knowledge of the history of new and older properties helped us make the right decision in purchasing. I highly recommend Barbara for your Realtor. We not only will use her again and recommend her, but we have also gained a new friend at the beach. Marsha & Macy Falkner
