She is patient, persistent, understanding, dedicated and detailed oriented. She brings her professionalism to the real estate industry because she enjoys working with people one on one.

Below, are just some of what her clients have said about her professionalism:

Kevin said, “I'm always surprised at the amount of paperwork and legal documents and financial stuff that goes along with buying a piece of Real Property. What impressed me most about my Realtor was that she was a smart cookie when it came to negotiating. She had the right anticipation, the right suggestions, and the right communication with both me as the buyer and the seller. There were multiple bids on the land and because my Realtor told me I had to negotiate a certain way, I was the one who ended up with the beautiful lot with the great trees and not the other guys who didn't have my Realtor ... Thanks again!”

Debra said, “My Realtor was the best she helped me from the beginning to the end I couldn’t have asked for a better person.”

Rodolfo said, “Mrs. Barrios was constantly walking the extra mile. Pure satisfaction to work with her. Prompt replies to every inquire and paperwork. Always reachable and willing. Ample experience displayed along the process. Always safeguarding my interests.. Will recommend her to all. Many thanks for her very good work.”
