As a first time home buyer (and a self employed person), I was definitely dreading the home buying process - that was until I met Shelley!!!She was always there to advocate for me, answer my questions, ask the right questions based on her expertise and help me make the right calls during the process. I highly recommend Shelley if you're looking for a realtor that really goes above and beyond for her clients!PS: Just celebrated 6 months in my new dream home thanks to Shelley. She's the best!

Shelley really made it happen. We are in the house that is just right, all thanks to her. From narrowing down area/style of home, helping when our original lender wasn’t working out, setting up appointments with inspection experts, communicating with the seller. And, of course, writing a competitive offer. She made sure that we were comfortable and well informed with every step of the process. As a first time buyer, we had so many questions and Shelley was so patient and knowledgeable. We could not thank her or recommend her enough!

Shelley Barr helped my husband and I sell our first home and purchase our dream home. We put our first house on the market during the Portland fires and we were unsure if anyone would come to see it. Shelley assured us during the open house that the staging was great, and that multiple people were confirmed. She was so fantastic at constantly reassuring us that we would sell. She was so quick to answer any questions and assured us we could always reach out. We sold our house within 3 days! We had toured at least 5-7 homes and she always made sure to guide us in making the best decision for our family. We only put ONE offer on a house, and we got it! The house is everything we could of asked for. If your looking for a realtor that wants to support you in making the right decisions, look no further than Shelley. Our first home buying experience was so stressful. The process with Shelley was so streamlined and we couldn’t speak more highly of her.

Shelley helped me buy my first home amidst an incredibly competitive and wild housing market. She taught me SO MUCH about what to look for in a house and her insights undoubtedly saved me thousands of dollars down the line.I really appreciated her dedication and attention to detail. She was a wealth of knowledge about the whole process, from getting an approval letter to writing a competitive offer. She was responsive, communicative, always in great spirits, extremely generous with her time. We toured so many places and could always count on her to guide us, even with not a lot of notice.We went with Shelley originally because she was the first realtor that we worked with who really respected our timeline and didn't make us feel pressured to buy immediately. When we were ready, she was there and always reliable.I could not have bought a house without her as my anchor and expert. I have the house of our dreams, alongside my partner!

I Would have never guessed how great the experience buying this home with Shelley as my realtor would be. Her attentiveness and commitment to helping me navigate neighborhoods and a variety homes was really remarkable. I would recommend the experience to any one looking for an informative experience with an individual who is very knowledgeable and helpful.

We are moving from Indiana to Colorado & needed some referrals for realtors. Shelley did a wonderful job of finding great realtors not only in the places we were looking to move but in Indiana as well. We had an experience with a local realtor here who was, in our opinion, not competent so we had something from which to judge realtors. All of the realtors she found were top notch & we would definitely recommend her to anyone moving out of state as well as locally.

From the moment I met Shelley the selling of our house went from an overwhelming stressful unknown to a lets get this sold to a done deal. She walked through our house and gave us suggestions on things we could do to help it look better to a buyer, but was not pushy and worked with what we could and couldn't get done. We weren't living there anymore and once we had gotten done what we could she took over from there so that we didn't have to worry about things and could start living in our new space with ease. As from the other reviews she is very communicative about the process and quick to respond to questions. We never had to ask for updates or what was going on...she proactively provided that information.

Shelley was incredibly helpful during the entire process of buying a home. I reached out to her through recommendation of a friend MONTHS before we were ready to buy. She offered advice and tools and learned a little about our needs and wants. We kept in minimal touch for about five months and found a house that wasn't even on the market yet but that we wanted SO BAD! Shelley was super proactive, she called this person and that person and the MINUTE...I mean MINUTE, it went up for sale, she had called and scheduled a walk through the next morning. She got our offer together and paperwork, recommended we write a letter (which luckily I'm really fast at creating), then rushed it over for us to sign and by noon we had our offer and letter into the buyer. We were first time homebuyers, so had zero idea what we were doing. She made it extremely easy for us.Our lender was extremely hard to get ahold of and I didn't think much of it. The lender started making promises that Shelley saw as a red flag (and they turned out to be extremely red). She gave us some advice and lender recommendations. We took her advice but went with a family recommendation for the new lender, she was genuinely happy we were able to find a new lender even if it wasn't her recommendations.She kept in contact with us at least every other day through all of it. As first time home buyers that really put our stress at ease. I felt many of the other people on our financial team were in and out, but Shelley really stayed with us through the whole thing. She even guided us on parts we wouldn't know about.Shelley is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and gets things done. For Shelley's part, it was the most stress free purchase I've ever made (and I'm talking all the way down to choosing an ice cream flavor to buying a home).Once we received the keys, she even helped us do a cute photoshoot in front of our home with a giant key we held and gave us a welcome home gift. I highly recommend her for all your future purchases or sales.

Shelley was an all-around excellent realtor for the sale of our house and purchase of a condo. She was professional, friendly, and responded to questions we had quickly.Shelley was very knowledgeable about the market and process of buying and selling a home. She provided sound advice when asked, and tapped into her network to assist us when we needed help. Shelley had great ideas for the pricing and marketing of our home, and helped us with two very successful transactions.Shelley lowered the stress level and made the experience easy. She's awesome!

Shelley helped make our home selling process so smooth. I always felt like we knew exactly what was going on and any questions we had, she either had the answer or found out the answer for us. If you want a realtor who looks out for your best interests and you need a soothing, supportive presence, you should 1000% work with Shelley!

Shelley was absolutely a pleasure to work with! She helped us find the perfect home and made the whole process so easy. She took care of everything and was always available whenever we needed anything or had questions. She was a great advocate for us and made sure we got the best deal possible. It was so nice to know she had our backs as first-time home buyers! We would totally work with Shelley again and recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome agent. - Emma & Kris
