Barbara Goetsch

Very professional and knowledgeable. Clear and concise; well informed. Selling our house was easy with the right advise and great marketing. Dirk & Kerry Cussler

Barb helped us to sell our family home of 19 years this summer and purchase our beautiful new home overlooking Branford Harbor. Selling and buying homes is stressful to say the least. We were grateful to have Barb as our advisor every step of the way. As an agent, Barb was super accessible -- she immediately responded to all of our questions whether big or small. She is a thoughtful communicator with a sense of calm about her that is reassuring during twists and turns that inevitably occur during a real estate transaction. Realtor Barbara Goetsch When purchasing our new home, Barb helped us to craft the best offer for our new home, beating out two other bids. She has extensive knowledge of the shoreline market and has established excellent working relationships with real estate industry colleagues. When selling our Guilford home, Barb helped us to show the house in the best possible way, providing access to a staging consultation, excellent home photography and more. We trusted Barb to help us solve problems along the way and close the deal. We recommend Barb whole-heartedly. She is a smart and super effective realtor. She is also kind and a nice person. If you are thinking about selling or buying, hiring Barb as your agent is an excellent first step! Lauretta Lyons and Todd Angkatavanich Lauretta Lyons Niris Todd Angkatavanich

I've bought and sold several houses over the course of 30 years or so and I've never had an experience that was as stress free as the one I just had with Barbara Goetsch. From our very first meeting she proved both knowledgeable and considerate, also a pleasure to talk with, and not just about the housing market. She kept me informed every step of the way, and offered good advice including options I might not have considered. She was exceedingly thoughtful and offered to undertake various little tasks, arranging a junk pick up, recommending cleaners, she even returned my internet modem after I left. In short, a full service agent, with the added attraction of a great sense of humor and sharp intelligence. I was glad to sell my house, but sad because I wouldn't get to stay and enjoy my new friendship with Barbara. I plan to keep in touch with Barbara, in the hopes of a visit sometime in the future. What higher recommendation can there be than that. Valerie Martin

Barbara Goetsch has been wonderful to work with, in all respects. Our search was long, complicated by uncertainties at our end, as well as the challenges of this difficult market. Barbara stayed positive throughout which made it easier for us to do so. Her cheerful disposition made every meeting a pleasure. As desperate as I sometimes felt, Barbara was scrupulous in determining what she wanted to show us. She knows I have mobility issues and that falling is a very real threat to my well-being. As “perfect” as a condominium might seem, if the access was difficult or possibly risky, she discouraged me from looking. We now have to sell our house! I have no doubt that she will show the same dedication, and put in the hard work to make it happen. Whatever your top star rating, Barbara gets it! Sincerely, Valerie Brown and Cary Krosinsky Cary Steven Krosinsky Valerie Brown

Outstanding. 5/5 stars. Charles Ahn

Barbara is just so wonderful to work with! She is so good at her job, very professional, very thoughtful on how to make your home look better to show.

I have worked with Barbara Goetsch through three houses now, and would never go with anyone else. She is diligent, professional, and one of the kindest people I have ever met. She is a pro at handling the ups and downs of the process (and the people too), and is generous with her time and considerable expertise. I hope to stay put now for a while, but if I don’t, I will of course call Barbara… and you should, too. Christine Kenna

Barbara was AMAZING! She helped me sell my mother's estate. I was out of state from CT and she went above and beyond to help guide me and do things in the house that I was not able to do from so far away.

Samuel Willoughby

We would say that our use of Barb for both the sale of our house and the purchase of our current home, both in Guilford, CT, speaks to our recommendation of her as a realtor. Given both transactions are typically the major financial events of your life, working with someone who is knowledgeable, professional, and responsive was a key priority for us. Barb was a source of local real estate knowledge that was influenced by her years of experience providing valuable perspective. Her guidance through both processes helped us to navigate a successful outcome for each that is reflected in neither of us having second-thoughts and being very happy in our current home. nederhood, buyer and seller

If ever I buy or sell another home, I hope Barbara Goetsch will be my agent again. Thorough, amiable, knowledgeable, Barbara is a tireless worker, responsive to the smallest question, readily available, and very pleasant to work with. Her expertise and familiarity with the subtle differences of the shoreline towns make her an invaluable resource for individuals new to the area. Moreover, no matter how busy she is--and she is busy--she conveys the sense that she has all the time in the world just for you. Quite a talent.

We never felt that she rushed us; there was no pressure to buy a house for the sake of buying. It had to be right. We will always be grateful to her for her hard work, negotiating skills and dedication to our home purchase. - 5 of 5 star rating sbaseggio

Barbara Goetsch is an exceptional real estate agent who is also a joy to work with. She is an excellent listener who really gets to know her clients well and this makes her a trusted advisor in selecting a home.

I highly recommend Barbara to both buyers and sellers alike. 04/13/2015 - 5 of 5 star rating Rebecca Armstrong

Barbara helped us find our dream home in Guilford, CT. We were living in Boston and were drawn to Guilford for all the town has to offer. Barbara was amazing to work with and was instrumental in facilitating a smooth move from MA to CT with two toddlers just before the Holiday Season. We contacted her in the spring of 2017 and moved into our new home before the end of fall. She was extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market and only showed us houses that met our specific criteria. She was very responsive whenever we had questions and helped with every aspect of the transaction from the home inspection to home owners insurance. She worked diligently to get answers from the sellers and their realtor whenever information was needed and questions arose. I would highly recommend her for buyer or seller realtor services. 2/7/2018 5 of 5 Star Rating Merideth H.

Barbara was our agent in the recent purchase of a shoreline home. She is a total pleasure to work with .... she knows the area, has terrific instincts, and was able to negotiate roadblocks with ease. She isn't pushy, and she's realistic. After the sale, she steered us to great tradespeople and helpers in the area. We feel lucky to have had her represent us, and recommend her highly. Jan Blustein

5 of 5 Stars Barbara was excellent. Always made you feel like your were her only client. She has a lot of resources to make the buying process easy. Great agent. I highly recommend her. dietrichrental

We did not know Barbara until she was recommended to us by another broker in the William Pitt organization, but we were delighted to work with her from the moment we met her. She is outgoing, lively, great sense of humor, but very serious about her work. We made her earn her commission by our lack of knowledge of the local area (we were relocating from Pennsylvania), which meant that she had to save us from the waste of time that Google searches can lead you to. Once we found the property we loved she was a tremendous help in negotiating our price -- even though my wife and I are both seasoned attorneys. And the closing proceeded without a hitch, thanks to her attention and experience. We can enthusiastically recommend her. 03/09/2015 - 5 of 5 star rating chub wilcox

5 of 5 Stars Barbara was a pleasure to do business with.

Barbara was easy to schedule with, and I totally trusted her to show my house in the best way, and the most attractive way for the clients visiting. Her suggestions were always just that, with room for discussion. She exhibits a calm, confident, nonjudgmental manner. She gets the job done. I would highly recommend Barbara Goetsch. 54 Shaker Ct, Guilford, CT 06437 Cathy D

Barbara is a warm and friendly person yet always portrayed a highly professional manner throughout our purchasing experience. She was a staunch representative for us (the buyer) during the entire process, always advocating and negotiating with the seller's representative to insure that both the buyers (us) and the seller were satisfied by the closing date. . If any question arose during the process, Barbara either knew the answer or found the answer for us within 24 hours. Purchasing a house can be a daunting and at times a difficult process but with Barbara as our representative, it was actually a very pleasant experience. Due to her diligence when working for us, Barbara helped us find our new home which has turned out to be a perfect match for us! 2/7/2018 5 of 5 Star Rating blnrhst

She is very knowledgeable about the market and current trends. She answered all of our many questions and concerns always that same day! She was unflappable and polite throughout the whole experience. We felt very confident in her ability to handle everything and she came through with flying colors. 2/7/2018 5 of 5 Star Rating 20170412101705853

Barbara has been involved in three sale interactions for us. Two she was the buyers (us) agent and one the listing (us) agent. She is a detective when it comes to looking into property details and past history that may or could interrupt a smooth closing (buyers agent). She does her utmost to list a house at an honest price and assist you in readying your house to sell (listing agent). She is prompt to return calls, on time, and knowledgeable in township history, local businesses, and school district. She is an honest, hard working, business woman....who also knows the clockwork of a house. We will use her again when the time comes. 2/7/2018 5 of 5 Star Rating 20140524164159630

Barbara Goetsch is personable, knowledgeable and very accommodating. She knows the shoreline communities well and what they have to offer. Barbara's showings were spot-on and no time was wasted looking at unsuitable properties. She tailors her showings based on the buyers wants and needs and never pushed her own agenda. She was honest with her showings; pointing out BOTH strengths and weaknesses of locations. She is experienced with the purchasing process and offered assistance willingly. Barbara responded rapidly to texts, emails and phone calls. My home buying experience was pleasant and stress-free and I would recommend her without hesitation. 5 of 5 star rating jnovak427

5 of 5 Stars Barbara was the third realtor I chose in a prolonged, long distance effort to sell my property in Guilford, CT. What a difference she made! It was like night and day, Having dealt with previous realtors who made costly demands almost continuously in an effort to convince me that they would sell the home, Barbara went about the business of selling - and succeeding - without making any demands at all. No expensive staging, interior improvements or landscaping required. From a state far away, I found I was able to trust her completely. Her quiet competence, gentle support and patience paid off. She proved her expertise by giving me confidence. Barbara was always available, always pleasant. Above all, she convinced me that she honestly cared about me and that caring came through on every level of my dealing with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough. 11/28/2018 - Sold a Single Family home in 2018 in Guilford, CT. Ingrid M

We were introduced to Barbara through the realtor selling our home in Massachusetts. From the start Barbara listened to what we wanted and throughout our buying process continued to understand our goals. We bought one house with her help, but we told her that while it was adequate, it was not exactly what we wanted. When another property came up she contacted us immediately and when we asked is it really worth our time she quickly answered yes . We bought the home of our dreams within a week. We now rent the first house. Barbara was easy to work with, responsive, and very knowledgeable of the neighborhoods and the market.

I would like to give Barbara Goetsch my strongest recommendation. She did a great job for us in a difficult market. She is easy to talk to, listens well, responds quickly and is available when needed.

I can't say enough positive things about Barbara, she always goes the extra mile. I highly recommend her as an Agent. For me, she was both my buying & selling Agent on my condo. 7 years ago we looked at many condos on the Shoreline until I found the one I loved, we put an offer in and we were done, seamless through the entire process. 7 years later I needed to sell my condo as I was moving out of state. She gave me sound advice on small renovations that needed to be done in order to get the best price in the shortest time. Again seamless process: advertisements, professional photos, to her commitment with open houses all leading to a closing in 3.5 months in the winter and even coming out ahead! Thanks Barbara!! Anyone is lucky to have you represent them. 2/7/2018 5 of 5 Star Rating Venessa D.

This was an unconventional property in a difficult market and every step of the way Barbara's local knowledge, attention to detail, patience and expertise got us to the finish line. This is the second property that she has listed and sold for us and we enthusiastically recommend her without hesitation. It was a pleasure to work with her. 12/31/2017 - 5 of 5 star rating user7340722

Barbara was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout our home sale. Despite time constraints and challenging market conditions, she was able to differentiate our house from the competition, show it at its best, and attract a quality buyer. In particular, the home staging and photos were fantastic! Additionally, she went above and beyond in guiding us through the home sale process as we were also simultaneously managing a complicated relocation. Regardless of how stressed we felt, Barbara maintained a calm, positive outlook and kept us moving forward- from initial showings, to responding to inspection, to the day of closing when our buyers forgot to bring their check (!!). We would highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a realtor in the shoreline area. 2/7/2018 5 of 5 Star Rating scymix

Barbara very professionally assisted us in selling our home (of 30 years) in Guilford, CT. The final contract was accepted by both parties within a week of putting the house on the market in February. Barbara worked with us in January and helped us prepare the home for the February listing. She pointed out enhancements, got a photographer, worked with our lawyer, and investigated several current listings to target a realistic price point. In addition to being professional, she was indeed enjoyable to work with and it felt as if she was an extended family member. We moved away, but still try to stay in touch. 01/28/2015 - 5 of 5 star rating raybousna73

Barbara knows what it takes to sell a house. She came in with a professional photographer to take pictures. The final result of the slide show was outstanding. These pictures helped to sell my house in record time. The rooms were bright and airy. The pictures encouraged people to come in person to see for themselves what the house had to offer. I had given Barbara a list of improvements that were made to the house and the property. She gave each interested person a copy of the improvements. I am in the process of selling a condo in Florida. All I can say I wish Barbara was here. She could teach realtors here a thing or two. KUDOS TO BARBARA 02/11/2015 - 5 of 5 star rating PCARRANO1

Barbara is not only very knowledgeable and through when selling and buying a home, she is patient and kind. She knows when to stay neutral vs. give an opinion. We spent three years + looking for a new home, and after changing our mind at the last minute on many occasions - she continued to treat us with respect and treated each new adventure as a clean slate. I not only appreciated her professionalism, I learned from her and understand the importance of not holding a grudge and/or judgement towards people's personal decision. I would recommend her to any buyer or seller in a 100 mile radius. 2/7/2018 5 of 5 Star Rating Sarah B.

She really took the time to get to know us and knew that we had limited opportunities to view properties so she was very efficient with our appointment schedules and in the end, she knew exactly the kind of home we were looking for. She was knowledgeable about the area and was so helpful with all aspts of the process. Even after the closing, she was such a huge help in helping us find various vendors and contractors to work on projects in the house. Barbara puts her all into her job and we genuinely could count on her to be responsive to our questions 100% of the time! 02/04/2015 - 5 of 5 star rating ckt78

Barbara was the third realtor I chose in a prolonged, long distance effort to sell my property in Guilford, CT. What a difference she made! It was like night and day, Having dealt with previous realtors who made costly demands almost continuously in an effort to convince me that they would sell the home, Barbara went about the business of selling - and succeeding - without making any demands at all. No expensive staging, interior improvements or landscaping required. From a state far away, I found I was able to trust her completely. Her quiet competence, gentle support and patience paid off. She proved her expertise by giving me confidence. Barbara was always available, always pleasant. Above all, she convinced me that she honestly cared about me and that caring came through on every level of my dealing with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We highly recommend Barbara Goetsch. Right from the start she listened to us and understood all our needs and wishes in a new home. She brought us to homes that were very close to what we wanted and was very patient with the many homes we chose to see! In the end, she found our dream home. We couldn't have done it without her. Barbara made us feel like we were her only client. She is amazing. You would be very lucky to have Barbara find your dream home for you. hknaak1

Our experience with Barbara was exceptional. She is professional and knowledgeable and truly helped us through the sale of our home from market research to final closing. We would work with her for any of our future real estate needs. tulamac

Barbara’s tenacity and flexibility, shifting sales strategies as the market required, made the sale of our home a positive experience. We were very pleased with the care and respect she took with our home during all showings and open houses. She provided feedback in a timely manner and was always available for consultation. Her strong collaborative relationships with other area agents lead us to a sale at a good price and in locating the furnished rental that allowed us to offer a quick closing. 2/15/2018 5 of 5 Star Rating lou824

Barbara was an excellent choice for us in selling our home in Guilford. From the outset, she pointed out certain elements of our listing that were most important and how to stage our home for maximum impact. She was conversant with the local market and how to price our home for quick and effective results. When issues arose, she was quick to create solutions and helped us find a new home as well. Overall, we were happy that we chose her to represent us. markbluemling

After several mediocre sales and purchases, we assumed that work with Real Estate professionals was always lackluster. And then we met Barbara. What a change! Warm, engaging, thoughtful and experienced. We interviewed three agents and were struck by her at the first impression. She helped prepare our home for sale with the assistance of an expert team of stagers and photographers, she listened to our needs and concerns and provided us honest assessments. The market around our home had been slow - several beautiful homes in our neighborhood had been on the market for over one year. So imagine our surprise when Barbara listed our house within six weeks - and then obtained multiple offers within 3 days of listing and sold the house in under two weeks. I cannot speak highly enough to her work-ethic, professionalism and good cheer. Having worked with other agents in the area and elsewhere in the US, I can say she is among the very best. charleshaviland mize

All were resolved in a timely manner allowing the closing to occur as scheduled.

Sold a Single Family home in 2018 in Clinton, CT. • Local knowledge: 5 of 5 • Process expertise: 5 f 5 • Responsiveness: 5 of 5 • Negotiation skills: 5 of 5 When I placed my CT house for sale in the Spring of 2018 Barbara Goetsch knew exactly when to start advertising for maximum effect. She guided me in staging the house and sent a professional photographer to take photos inside and out. She created a stunning ad on her website which attracted a lot of attention. Because she helped me to price my property correctly (bearing in mind her local market research) I feel that she attracted the maximum amount of interest. This resulted in an offer from a serious buyer within 19 days. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Barbara Goetsch. Past Client
