We were very happy with the service and knowledge that Josh Barker and his team brought to the table in our real estate negotiations. We are confident that with out Josh we would have paid significantly more for the property, would not have been as well informed regarding the property and then tenants therein, and that this would have been a different transaction all together. Even after the close of escrow Josh and his team have continued to help us out with questions to the former owner. We heartily recommend Josh for all of our real estate needs. -Alan K.

I have rarely had the pleasure to do business with such a team of professionals. Josh met with me personally to explain how the members of his staff would work together with my wife and I to come to a successful conclusion in the sale of our home.

It is gratifying to find a group of people that are so dedicated to their clients. I heartily recommend Josh Barker for all your Real Estate needs. -Gordy S.

Josh has my highest recommendation. Our home was listed for 6 months with no offers. We retained Josh and thanks to his knowledge, exposure to many websites and his expertise, within weeks we received multiple offers. The great thing about Josh and his team, is you have the personal attention of having a small town real estate agent, like a friend, but the talent and professionalism and knowledge of a big city Broker combined into one, that is rare! If you want your home sold, call Josh and his team, they are a delight to work with. -Sara C.

Josh Barker and his entire office staff were most professional and yet friendly and welcoming. They were always on top of every question or difficulty we had, and jumped right in to provide excellent service. Even after helping us sell our home (full price in three days!) and finding us our new home, they have stayed in communication to make sure that we were completely satisfied with both transactions. -Dave and Patty L.

Josh and his team sold our Redding home in just two days! The team were incredible from start to finish, ensuring that the process was smooth throughout, despite a couple of stumbling blocks when the buyers had financial setbacks. After Josh came and interviewed us and we agreed to list with him, everything kicked into high gear. The photographer came out, installed the sign, took pictures (and listened to my suggestions - I'm a photographer); the listing appeared on Zillow and the MLS; we had showings within hours of the listing; we got a near full price offer and away we went! Inspections and tests happened in short order, the Barker Team recommended contractors for needed repairs and also recommended movers for our relocation north and helped with myriad small details. All in all, I can't say enough good about this team. If you need to buy or sell property, these are the people to use.-Paul and Barbara Y.

I have bought and sold property over the years, and can say honestly that working with Josh and his team is far and above the best experience I have had selling a home. Josh's photography team did an amazing job of capturing the essence and beauty of my house and its surroundings. Additionally, Josh's analysis of the current market allowed him to list my house at an attractive sales price with in turn resulted in a quick sale. I believe I had an offer within the first three days of listing. Throughout the sale process, Josh's team stayed in constant contact with me, ensuring that I was aware of any changes in the offer or requests by the buyer. Laurie managed particulars of escrow, and literally held my hand through the entire process. Anytime work was needed on my house in order to move the process along, Laurie always had someone available to complete the work. This service alleviates a great deal of stress for the seller. The entire process from listing to close of escrow took less than three months total. I attribute the speedy sale of my home to Josh's analysis of the current market, the quality of advertising for the listing, and Josh's efficient listing and escrow team. Everyone in the office is obviously customer centered, and go over above to make you feel important and comfortable throughout the sale process. I couldn't be happier with the results of the sale and the service I received from Josh and his exceptional team! -Cindi G.

From the first day to the last the whole process went AWESOME!!! Buying a home can be very stressful but Josh Barker's team was always there to make sure things went smoothly!!!

It was both a professional blessing and an honor to have worked with Josh Barker and his team. When it came time to sell our house, a dear friend highly recommended Josh Barker. Following his advice, we called Josh. First impressions go along way, he was very impressive as well as very professional. Josh certainly did his homework determining the financial specifications of the housing market in our neighborhood. It was quite evident that the Lord was working through Josh. When God is for us, who can be against us. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will make your paths straight. To that end, I would highly recommend services of Josh Barker Realty, only wish I had another house to sell. God Bless. -Phil and Diane Richardson

Josh (and his team of professionals) was outstanding! We were very impressed with the communication throughout the process of listing and closing the sale of our duplex in Redding...and we live in Santa Rosa!! Josh's insight, knowledge and personal attention was much appreciated. We would very definitely recommend Josh with no doubt or hesitation. -Bob and Fiona V.

We were so pleased with the service provided by Josh and his team. We interviewed three realtors prior to signing with Josh and selected him based upon his knowledge of the market and strategy for promoting the property both locally and outside Shasta County. Josh emphasized his team approach and communications with his clients. The house sold in seven days and escrow went without a hitch. I've bought and sold 10 properties and this transaction was by far the most seamless. Thanks Josh and your team of professionals! -John and Christina B.
