We really enjoy Barketa, her sense of humor and her knowledge of the current market. Working with her has been a fun experience and are almost sad that finding and buying a new home is over. She has the ability to guide you without feeling the nudge, a rare ability. Although relatively new to the area I think she'll become well known in the real estate market.

We cannot overstate how pleased we have been to work with her!

Barketa was a saint when it came to buying our house. We came across many problems that she fixed herself or arranged to have fixed. She even went attack dog for us when we were having issues with certain inspectors/workers who were not doing their jobs, and got everything back on track. I highly recommend her to anybody looking to buy a house. Barketa was not in it just to make a buck and flip a house, she was in it to help us find a home.

Thanks to Barketa Motsko we recently sold our home in Binghamton NY. At a time when we most needed help we were fortunate enough to find her.

We are thankful for Barketa and could not have gotten through this without her. Elizabeth and I live in Nevada and needed a trusted advisor to help sell our home in Binghamton. Barketa is all that and more. She interfaced with the last tenant for us, found a handyman to repair damage to the property, obtained competitive bids for a new furnace and help to locate the paperwork needed to close the sale. She was always in contact with us and was much more than our realtor, she was and is our friend! Thank you Barketa!

I may be a little biased with Barketa since I have known her for many years. When I first started looking at this property, I asked her for some advice which convinced me to ask her to be my agent during this process. I have no regrets having her on my side. If I ever have the opportunity to purchase another house or property, I would not hesitate calling on her again.

Barketa Motsko was great to work with during the process of selling our family home. It was an emotional process for all of us due to the fact that it was our parents home and my father had been moved to a full care facility. Her understanding and kindness during this whole process was very helpful to me. I on many occasions had to contact her regarding questions from other family members and other things that came up, and no matter if it was a phone call, email, or text she answered right away. I really appreciated all that she did to get our home sold. She was positive and encouraging throughout. I felt Thank you very much. I would recommend Barketa because she very helpful, caring and professional.

As first time home buyers without family in town, my husband and I were so grateful for Barketa's straight-forward and knowledgeable approach. We felt confident in the team she provided us and ultimately found our dream home. It's important to be able to trust your agent when you are in such a vulnerable position as a new buyer. We're so glad we found that trust and expertise in Barketa! Thanks so much!

She was professional, friendly and helped out immensely. She even had my driveway plowed out for me from the big storm as I was unable to make it to house to take care of it! She goes above and beyond!

Barketa is more than a great agent, she became a friend. She helped me though this entire process from beginning to end; I don't know what I would have done without her support and guidance!

Barketa was great to work with! She was kind, patient, understanding and very knowledgable. She knew exactly what to look for, knew what wouldn't work for us, and knew what would. I would recommend Barketa to anyone who is looking for their first home, because she takes the time to get a feel for her clients and their needs.
