Kara is great! She has sold 2 properties for me. From beginning to end she keeps you updated during the whole process. She goes above and beyond to help you by getting contractors to fulfill any inspection problems to negotiating a reasonable sale price. She has also helped me in purchasing a home. Either way, I trust Kara's knowledge and expertise in any real estate transaction and always making the effort to find the answers. Thank you Kara for all of your help.

If you're looking for an outstanding real estate agent, I highly recommend Kara! From the very beginning, she treated my family like we were her own. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to educate my children about the first-time home-buying process, which meant so much to us.

Kara truly had our best interests at heart and guided us as if she were purchasing the home for her own family. She also came with an amazing team of professionals, including a thorough home inspector, trusted financing experts, and insurance specialists, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

She never rushed us into making a decision, kept communication open every step of the way, and was always available whenever we had questions or needed guidance. Her dedication, honesty, and genuine care made all the difference.

Thank you, Kara, for helping our family find our home. I will gladly refer you to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and exceptional real estate agent!

Kara Barbero was amazing to work with during our relocation from Northern Virginia and the purchase of our home in Norfolk. Moving to a new area can be overwhelming, but Kara was patient, knowledgeable, and consistently optimistic throughout the entire process.

She truly listened to what we were looking for and used that information to help us understand the area, evaluate our options, and find the perfect home. Her guidance was invaluable in helping us feel confident in our decision to purchase the house we now live in and love.

Kara made the entire experience feel comfortable, positive, and much less stressful. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for us and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
