Testimonials

Reba referred us to a great realtor in another state where we are relocating. Reba is so easy to work with - with a couple of emails we were able to connect with a top-notch realtor and get started looking for homes in Ohio.

Ann Z.

Reba Barkley is awesome to work with. She is professional and exceeded our expectations. In five days, she has placed us in our new home—amazing! We look forward to working with Reba in the future to purchase our permanent new home. We recommend Reba at the highest level.

Nancy & Arthur C.

I would just like to comment on the wonderful experience that I have had with Reba Barkley. She was always so attentive to what my needs and wants were in a property. She was very responsive and her communication spot on. She found us exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Reba.

Geri

My family and I have moved around the country in the last 20 years. Obviously, we’ve dealt with many realtors throughout the years. Reba Barkley is by far the best realtor we’ve ever worked with. Her personality, professionalism, and willingness go above and beyond to help our family find the home we were looking for was more than anyone could ask for. Reba assisted viewing homes even though we were located out of state and with the restrictions due to COIVD-19, she found a way. No matter the time of day, or day of the week Reba responded to all inquiries in a timely and accurate manner. If you are looking to buy or rent a property I would highly recommend, Reba Barkley, Realtor- Davidson Realty.

Jason & Amy W.

Reba is a TRUE professional. She worked very hard to find what I was looking for and gave me more than enough options. She went above and beyond my expectations. She assisted me in every step of the way on my final new construction purchase. She was always flexible with her time and stayed in constant communication with me. At the signing of the contract for my home Reba asked questions on my behalf I would have never thought of asking. On the first walk through for the new home orientation she was SUPERB. Even to the point the new home walk through representative had never seen anyone as thorough as Reba was for checking on any flaws. He commented several times he would like her on his team.!!! Reba kept me up to date on all closing matters. At the final walk through she was there again and thorough. Reba also attended the closing to make sure all went smooth. I HIGHLY recommend Reba Barkley as your next realtor whether buying or selling. AWESOME!

Jeanine S.

The quality that stood out to me was Reba’s willingness to go the extra mile. I would describe her as personable, professional, and patient. I would definitely recommend Reba’s real estate services to others. I would say Reba will have your best interest at heart and will go out of her way to assure satisfaction. It’s obvious she knows the real estate market very well, so I would feel confident using her services in the future.

F. A. Thompson

As soon I contacted Reba regarding a particular listing, she hit the ground running. She was able to secure a rental lease for us in a coveted neighborhood all while competing with many other submissions. It was Reba’s instincts that sealed the deal. She knew exactly what the home owner was looking for and helped us get the home so that we could ensure our kids would not go through too many transitions while we build a home in the area. We are very grateful for her diligence and effort, but also her empathy. She was a joy to work with.

R. Brock

I would like to thank my realtor Reba. This was my first home purchase. Reba made this process smooth and stress free. She is truly gifted with what she does as real estate agent. She makes you feel like you are her one and only client. I never felt rushed or pressured. She listened and relayed back what you presented to her. Her attention to detail is flawless. Reba takes your ideas and gives you more than expected. It is like she sees your vision ahead of you. I deeply appreciate everything Reba has done to get me into my forever home. I have and will continue to refer Reba to family, friends, coworkers and anyone I meet. Thank you and God Bless you Reba.

J. Watson

My family is moving from MA to FL and we needed to secure a home as soon as possible. Reba went right to work for us, first getting to know what we wanted/needed in a home and then identifying options that fit that criteria. She’s knowledgeable, kind, and truly cared about making sure our needs were met. In less than a week we had a rental home secured. She took care of all the negotiations between us and the property manager, making the entire transaction simple and pain free

Tami S.

We worked with Reba Barkley in the process of purchasing our first home. She supported us in every possible step in the journey - from arranging the initial viewings to closing the purchase. We cannot recommend Reba highly enough. She was extremely helpful, starting with helping us to decide a fair pricing on a competitive transaction, all the way through the very intense closing process. Reba often worked late on weekends, so that we could close everything in a timely manner, scheduled every necessary appointment and did everything needed. She was always responsive and took the necessary time to explain the context as this was our first home purchase. Bearing in mind our very busy schedules, Reba was always available, regardless of how late it was. It was quite simply everything we could have asked for and we are so very grateful for the time, advice, and all the help.

Karen X. & Kiril D.

It was a pleasure to work with Reba. She walked me through step-by-step what to expect, communicated thoroughly and offered me expert advice that helped me understand the buying process better. She understood my family's need for the type of home we were looking for. Ms. Reba was very professional, caring and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her as a Realtor. I am truly blessed to have her as my Realtor.

Kathy B.

We recently relocated to the area from out of state and were unfamiliar with St. Johns County. Reba helped us find the perfect location for our family! At a time when the market is so hot, time is of the essence and Reba wasted none! She reached out to us within minutes of our request and set up a showing immediately. She was so friendly and kind, and connected us with the proper people to help with the details of the transaction. We secured the property in hours and never looked back. Reba was an amazing communicator and we highly recommend her! Thank you, Reba, for making our transition less stressful in such a big way! We are so grateful!

Scott & Allison P

Reba says she “aims to provide extraordinary service with extraordinary results” and she definitely accomplishes that goal. She worked with me for a few days in June, 2020, and kept in touch until I returned with my husband in January, 2021. She knew what we were looking for in a seasonal residence, and promptly arranged a series of showings for us. Along with her pleasing personality, Reba is punctual, efficient, highly organized, patient, quickly responsive to questions and requests, and personally helpful. When our settlement date was delayed, she took the time to let us know and understand why the delay had occurred. She was there for us all along the way, beginning to end. And even did a personal favor for us when we were away. My husband and I would highly recommend Reba to anyone buying or selling a home. She will do everything she can to make your experience a positive, comfortable one.

Scott and Dorothy D.

From the moment I met Reba Barkley, I was impressed. She was personable, friendly but professional, listened carefully to what I was saying and acted on what I said I was looking for. She was very punctual but flexible, efficient, highly organized, patient, quickly responsive to questions and requests, and personally helpful. Neither I nor my husband could find any reason to be unhappy or critical of Reba. We would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home. She will do everything she can to make the experience a positive, comfortable one.

Dorothy D.

Reba assisted me and my family with selling my parents’ home. I have never had to sell a house before and the challenge of being unfamiliar with how to navigate a huge undertaking was overwhelming. Reba was very patient and explained every step involved in selling our home. I was most impressed with her professionalism, knowledge of the real estate process, and efficiency in making sure all the I’s were dotted and the T’s crossed. She was available whenever we needed her, even while on vacation. Reba made time to answer our questions and follow up on any issue. I have to say Reba exceeded my expectation as far as being timely, staying on top of deadlines, and communicating by checking in constantly. Her follow up and follow through skills are amazing. I never felt I was alone during this process. I always felt you she had our backs and our best interest at heart. I would definitely recommend Reba to friends and family as a realtor. I know she will do her best and go out of her way to make sure the process flows smoothly. My family and I will be forever grateful for Reba’s service and the help she provided during this process.

F. Thompson

We had an excellent experience with our realtor agent Reba Barkley. We moved to Saint Augustine at the beginning of the pandemic. Reba was able to show us homes with great confidence. During those uncertain times Reba provided sage advice. The owners had just taken this house off the market. We loved the home but were unsure about purchasing during the Covid time. She suggested we consider renting for the first year with the option to purchase. She also negotiated a reduction in our rent, something we had never heard of! We closed on our home in April of 2021 at the asking price of 2020! The property had already appreciated by 20%. Reba was amazing. Not only did she find our home, she was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, recommending reliable individuals for other services we needed. The best part about our time with Reba is the friendship we formed. She is an awesome woman who loves referrals! It’s sure to be a pleasure allowing her to help you find your perfect new home.

A. & N. Cuthbert

It was indeed a pleasure working with Reba Barkley, as our realtor, in selling our home and buying our new home. Reba is very knowledgeable about what it takes to prepare a house for the market. Because of her expertise, we were able to sell our home in one day with multiple offers. During an initial meeting with us, Reba took extensive notes regarding our specific needs in a single-family home. She was diligent, focused, and on target in her search to find homes in the area we requested. Reba displayed professionalism throughout the entire process.During our selling and buying process, the lines of communication were always open. Reba was thorough and insured all necessary documents were completed correctly and promptly. Thank you, Reba for making this process very smooth and successful. We highly recommend Reba without reservation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

The Shaw's

We were extremely impressed and appreciative of Reba’s assistance with listing and selling our home. As our real estate agent, Reba Barkley was very professional throughout the process. Her knowledge of comparable properties was very beneficial in helping us establish our selling price. Her suggestions for staging the home, reassurance of secure access of our home during showings, and kindness with a closing gift, are ways she also provided extraordinary service to our family. Additionally, Reba provided timely communication when responding to phone calls, text messages, and emails. She was prompt in sharing updates with us from the title company and the buyer's agent. We received multiple offers on our home and really appreciated Reba’s organizational skills and attention to details. The format and process in which the offers were presented, facilitated a thoughtful discussion. Weighing the specifics of each offer, we accepted the one that was right for our family. Reba provided us with excellent service and we would recommend her to others and share this testimonial of her service. Thank you again, Reba, for everything!

M. Harrell

We originally met Reba when we were in the market for a new home for our daughter and did not have a specific real estate agent. She quickly responded to an internet query on an available property. Though we didn’t buy the initial property we visited with Reba, we were so impressed by her professionalism, we utilized her services to look at additional properties within the range and locale that would work for our daughter and her family. Shortly after working with Reba, we found the perfect home and closed on the property within the next 35 days. When we decided to list our rental property in Middleburg which was on the other side of town, Reba was easily our first and only choice to list and market this single-family home. The qualities that we appreciated in Reba as the buyer’s agent, were equally impressive as the listing agent for our rental home. The attention to detail and follow up as a buyer and a seller agent were incredible. Reba does not miss a beat with all required documentation getting completed and executed in a timely manner to ensure that any real estate deal closes on time. With the recent sale of our rental property, Reba went above the call of duty to ensure that the deal got to the closing table with an extremely difficult buyer. She worked extremely hard with the buyer’s agent to get past any obstacles that came about during the negotiations before the actual closing. We would strongly recommend Reba as a listing or buying agent as she is extremely easy to work with and very accommodating with scheduling or filing documentation. We are entering our third real estate transaction with Reba as we are under contract with a condo for one of our other daughters and expect to close in early April 2022. I look forward to working with Reba for many years to come as our “family” real estate agent and someone that we now consider a friend.

Art & Barbie F.

My Fiancé received a job offer in Jacksonville and within six weeks’ time we sold our house in Ohio and moved to Jacksonville. During that time, we worked with Reba Barkley, as our realtor. She was referred to us by a family member that had a successful experience with Reba in the purchase of their home in St. Augustine. We were living out of state and had to purchase sight unseen, with Reba as our eyes. She did walk-thoughts of each home via FaceTime and was really committed to helping us find our forever home. Reba was wonderful throughout the multiple contracts written, and the many phone calls and text messages. Reba is Friendly, personable and was a pleasure to work with. She always gave 100% and went above and beyond multiple times. We highly recommend Reba, and we are very grateful for her. We couldn’t have made this move without her.

L. Borio

When my wife and I first met Reba we were instantly impressed with her warmth and professionalism. This, however turned out just to be the tip of the iceberg with Reba. My mother passed away and my wife and I were left with the task of emptying and selling my mom's house. We had no experience in this area whatsoever, and of course it was very emotional. Reba helped us with every step of that. She helped us find our way through all the process that was required, she laid out for us what to expect, she helped us understand the options. She is a supreme project manager with incredible organizational skills! My mother was very much a perfectionist, and we have joked that Mom picked out Reba for us. If you have an opportunity to do business with Reba please don't miss the opportunity. She will make your experience so much better!

David and Pamela M.

If I had to describe Reba in just one word, I would choose the word, awesome! I was referred by a dear friend, who I truly trust, and would not have referred me to Reba unless she felt she would assist me throughout the process of selling my house. Immediately, upon my initial contact with Reba, I felt a vibe of someone that I would be able trust and have my best interest at heart. Reba was thorough, honest, dependable, and very informative. She kept me informed of everything that occurred throughout the short process. Just as she said once the house is put on the open market, it was unbelievable. I received at least 7 offers in a day, and before I knew it, I was at closing and sale of the house within a three-week period. I will definitely refer Reba to my friends, if anyone is in need of selling a house. I was 100% satisfied with the services provided to me by Reba. I really feel that I’ve gained a friend, that I will never forget.

Jacqueline C.

I want to thank Reba for assisting me and my family as our realtor with the selling of our home. We were so blessed and thankful for her and Davidson Realty, Inc. Reba was very knowledgeable, trustworthy, proactive, and communicated well and often as our realtor. The differentiation of experiences she offers is unique to her marketing business strategy and real estate knowledge (from attracting buyers with great photos, enhancement of the curb appeal, and the right list price). Her tips on helping us declutter to make the living areas more spacious and inviting was appreciated. I highly recommend Reba Barkley to sell your home, and will continue to share her name with our friends and family!

Derek S.

I met Reba back in 2020 when she walked us through our rental home. I knew she was special because she came out of her way, in stormy weather to meet us. I immediately knew if I ever bought a house, she would be my agent. We started house hunting in 2022 but I didn’t find what I needed for my family. Reba continued to stay in contact in a friendly way, not in a vulturous way. This year Reba encouraged me to start searching because she knew we had a move out deadline. She made the process so easy. Easier than I imagined. She was in constant contact, followed up on all tasks and always returned my calls. Anything I didn’t understand she explained to me as many times as needed. She was there for me from beginning to closing. She calmed my fears and anxiety because I knew she was on top of it ALL! Thank you, my friend for being there for the rental, selling my parents’ home, and the purchase of my new home which I love.

F. Thompson

Reba was the realtor on duty when I decided to just drop into the Davidson Realty office. I told her I was looking to down-size but had no idea what was available. She asked questions about what I would like and made an appointment to look at my house. She was aggressive in marketing my home, including participating in neighborhood open houses. When my home was listed, Reba started taking me to see homes that were for sale and exploring various neighborhoods that I was interested in. She listened to what I said I would like, and not one of the prospective listings/neighborhoods were a waste of time. Reba stayed in contact with me at all times and promptly returned my calls. My daughter-in-law went with me on several occasions to look at properties, and was so impressed with Reba, that she has kept her card for future reference. Reba was very helpful with both the sale of my house and the purchase of my new house. I would gladly recommend Reba if interested in selling or purchasing a home.

C. Jacobs

My wife Sheri and I recommend highly engaging Reba Barkley of Davidson Realty. We have sold several homes in the past, however, by far, Reba has outdone in performance all of our past realtors. Reba was very thorough in all aspects of the sale. She went far and above what is normally required in the sale of our property. Any transactions in our future would be handled exclusively by Reba.

Don & Sheri M.

My wife and I were relocating from South Florida to the St. Augustine area. We were unfamiliar with professionals in this area, and were very lucky to find Reba Barkley as our buyers’ agent. On two earlier occasions, Reba patiently showed us the market, what was available, even knowing that we were not ready to buy yet. She never rushed the process. When we finally got ready to buy, Reba showed us all the listings that made sense for us, and then, very skillfully, helped us negotiate what we felt was a very good price and transaction on our side. Leading up to the closing, Reba went to bat for us, doing the final inspection in our absence, ensuring that all details and repairs had been done, and having the escrow agent hold back money to ensure that these were done. My wife and I highly recommend Reba Barkley as a real estate agent in the St. Augustine /Jacksonville area.

Rob & Sandy M.

We are writing about our personal experience finding a new home with Reba Barkley as our guide, home locator, and professional real estate leader. We are not strangers to buying and selling real estate so we gave Reba Barkley a call. That decision was golden. Reba made us feel comfortable and confident in our decisions. She was attentive, provided guidance, and followed through on every step resulting in a worry-free closing experience. Reba was eager to learn everything she could about US, not just what we might want to look at. Reba focused on our history and needs as well as our “wants and wishes” in our new home. Meeting with Reba was more like catching up with a friend not just a realtor showing listings. Reba ALWAYS took the time to get answers and responded to us ASAP. She worked tirelessly to help communicate and coordinate between the lender, title company, and sellers. Reba was helpful in other areas too. She provided us with contact information about the HOA, amenities, property management, and even sent us a list of venders we could choose should we need repairs or maintenance. We sincerely appreciated working with Reba. She even took time to introduce us to some of our new neighbors, that was just one example of how she goes above and beyond to care for her clients. WE are anticipating building a closer friendship and getting to know Reba better. Reba has earned our trust and we will recommend her to others as truly a professional Realtor. She is a shining star and proud to be part of Davidson Realty. Reba Barkley, the Froehlich family sincerely appreciates you. Thanks, and bless you!!
