Barbie is an absolute joy to work with. After she helped us purchase our house a few years ago, we knew exactly who we wanted to call when the time came to sell! She walked us thru every step with a smile on her face and explained everything so well so we knew exactly what was going on. I am forever grateful for Barbie and the expertise she brought to the table every time.

Our decision to sell our home was kind of sudden. Barbie was recommended to us by a trusted friend. When we met, Barbie was understanding, interested, and enthusiastic about our plan to sell. She jumped right in and did more than we expected as our sales agent. She followed through with everything. The sale went smoothly and quickly. Barbie was exceptional.

Barbie was phenomenal to work with. She went far above and beyond the normal call of duty in order to make sure that we were able to sell our home. I am certain that without her, the selling of our home would have become a much longer process. She is a top notch real estate professional, and an overall amazing human being.

Dave James recommends Barbie Lange

Our home was a busy place for 27 years of enjoyment of watching our kids grow up, cooking over the fire pit, go to college, get jobs, and start families. The hallways and rooms became void of all the sounds of laughter and conversations as the kids had moved on. The house became a lot quieter and it was decided it was time to downsize and let a new younger couple come on scene with young ones in tow to take over the adventures that awaited them here. It became apparent that we now had too much house and too much land and got started on preparing the house for the “house for sale” market. So, on the scene came Barbie Lange to help us with this process. She turned out to be a lot more than just a real estate agent, she quickly became our hero, angel, and go-to person. On top of that she brought calm and peace in to what could have been a very anxious and stressful task for us. She knew a guy to help with dumpsters for the throw away, a lawnscape group, and house cleaning group. People came and knew exactly what to do. Before long we had a country home ready to sell. Now it was time and she hung out the shingle “House For Sale”. She quickly got the word out that this house was now for sale. Because of her marketing savvy she was able to hang a new sign in just 8 days that said “SALE PENDING”. She made the walk through the paper work effortless for us. Barbie had it all setup that she emailed us the forms (called and explained them to us) and we digitally signed them faster than we could have with ink and pen. She explained everything in the offer-to-buy. Barbie was by with the listing and sale the whole way. She explained ever thing along the way, kept the stress off of us, and in the end finished a great sale with us. Then she hung the best sign “SOLD”. Thanks, Barbie, job well done.

Kenton Smith recommends Barbie Lange

Barbie went above and beyond to help us with our recent land purchase. After we told her we would like to make an offer, she worked immediately on the paperwork late on a Friday night. This made our offer the first offer, and it was accepted. Barbie stayed in communication with the seller’s realtor and handled everything for us. We are so appreciative of her diligence and hard work, which helped us purchase land for our forever home.

Rachel Nowakowski recommends Barbie Lange

Being a first time home buyer, Barbie made the experience as smoothe and as seamless as possible. Paid attention to what my desires were in a house and wouldn't stop until we found a place for me to call home. She's so kindhearted, informative, and understanding. I could not recommend her more.

Maryanne Wise recommends Barbie Lange

We could not have asked for a better real estate professional to help us find what we needed and wanted. Barbie worked hard for my husband and I, and did so with such grace, kindness, and integrity. I have already recommended her to others, and will continue to do so.

Michaela Brehm recommends Barbie Lange

I highly recommend Barbie. She had a challenge with me being out of state and handled home tours, walk throughs, and negotiations with professionalism and ease. She was very detailed, thorough, and always had my best interest front and center. I especially appreciated her commitment to deadlines and depth of knowledge. When she said she'd get me a piece of information or whatever, she did it. Just as important (for me) as the professionalism and knowledge, is Barbie's sense of humor and easy going personality. Thank you Barbie for helping me purchase a slice of Ashland paradise!

Wow – what a treasure Barbi is!! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and helped us every step of the way.

We moved to the area not knowing anyone. We were quickly connected with Barbie, and she was a huge answer to prayer! If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, always available and encouraging realtor - we could not recommend Barbie more. We felt heard the entire process and never had to question anything, she was always there to educate us and was on top of it all. Call Barbie! :)

Curt Cunning recommends Barbie Lange

Barbie was such a fantastic, resourceful, and helpful agent! We originally were planning to list FSBO, but after a poor start, we contacted Barbie about our house that we wanted to sell. She was very helpful right from the beginning on what the process would look like and how she could increase the scope of prospect buyers through her resources and connections. Since we had such a unique home and were hoping to appeal to the kind of family that would be interested in its charm, we decided to go with her. I’m so glad we did, because we ended up getting more than we were planning, even after closing costs. Not only that, but she handled any bumps that we ran into with grace and proficiency. We would have been lost in the strange waters of real estate without such a strong navigator.

I’ve already recommended her to friends of mine looking to buy or sell their house, and I recommend her and her office to anyone in the area looking for a real estate agent with expertise and integrity.

Matthew Dean recommends Barbie Lange

My wife and I had worked with other realtors before Barbie. Our experiences with other realtors were sub par, it was definitely a blessing finding Barbie. She really listened to our wants and needs. She carefully went through the options to weed out anything that was not a good fit as to not waste our time. We ended up putting an offer in on the first house she showed us. She was very knowledgeable and diligent on keeping in contact with us and checking in on us, even when she was out of town. She promptly answered any questions we had and was able to help motivate our lender to finish the paperwork on their side. Working with Barbie definitely decreased our stress level during our first home buying experience. I honestly don't think it could have gone any smoother, I cannot recommend Barbie enough.

Ina Adkins recommends Barbie Lange

Words can not express how much I am grateful for this wonderful lady. I have rented my entire life and never really thought much of owning a home. In the past 2 years I was trying to find a home to rent that would accommodate my family of 4 and my elderly mom with no luck. Either everything was too expensive, in a terrible area if it wasn't or simply just wasn't what we needed. So, I started thinking maybe the best option was to buy. I had posted in a local group on facebook inquiring the process and got at least 30 realtors wanting to sell me a home. Barbie reached out to me with a completely different tone in comparison to the rest, she wasn't trying to sell me a home. She wanted to help.
And help she did. She helped with everything from finding me the right financial place in order to improve my credit, waited patiently until it was, answering any questions I had, walked me through the entire process. She kept in contact about every single thing. We looked at several homes until we walked into one I fell in love with immediately. When we put in my offer and it was accepted, she was joyous with me.
We just closed yesterday on my first home. I couldn't ask for a better person to have been by my side during the entire time. She isn't just my realtor, she is my friend. She laughed and cried along with me. I honestly believe God sent this woman to us during our time of need and I am forever thankful to her.

Barbie was just amazing. She listened to all our needs for a building. She searched high and low to fulfill our requests. When we found the perfect location she worked hard to make regular phone calls between the banker, sellers realtor, insurance and anyone else we needed to connect with. If I ever had any questions Barbie was happy to answer them or find out the answers for me. She is very detail oriented and extremely prompt in her responses.

Barbie really goes above and beyond to see things through.
