We had our Condo on the market for a little over a year with another realtor, who could not figure out why our unit had not sold. At our very first meeting (prior to having our listing), Gail Wittig came into our Condo and within seconds made an observation (that our unit appeared dark) and a suggestion (paint it a lighter, brighter color). We appreciated her candor and her experience prior to our listing with her. She was just as good after we listed. Her team, particularly Barbara Milian was great. They went above & beyond to make the process from pictures to closing go as smoothly as possible. After over a year on the market, we were so very happy to sell within a short period of time with the Addy & Wittig team.
Barbara is fantastic! She is always one step ahead of many other realtors and her thoroughness is incomparable. Her knowledge and experience are second to none.
When we 1st met with Barbara she came in with a sparkling personality that made us feel like we had known her our whole lives. Respectful to all members of our family that she came in contact with. She provided a thorough explanation of what should be expected from start to finish. Her attentiveness to every detail ensured that a smooth transaction would take place. Emails, phone calls, and text were promptly returned with a well-educated answer to our questions and concerns. We always felt that she was there to ensure that the best results were attained vs just selling our home. During the process, we purchased a new home and had the pleasure of seeing Barbara work both sides at the same time. Not once did she falter during transactions. We were blessed not just to have met a realtor but to have made a friend.
What can we say about Barbara.. The genuine professional, insatiable work ethic, honest, caring, kind, transparent and knowledgeable. As Canadians, buying a home in Florida, we were truly blessed to have Barbara as our Professional relator, colleague, and friend. From the moment we met Barbara in August this year, we instantly felt a connection of someone we could trust explicitly. Her easy going demeanor and comforting personality helped us navigate the muddled, Florida Real Estate Market, from listings, to home viewings to pricing with the offer and financing. Barbara was also extremely helpful helping us navigate though the process with our builder. Over the years, we have dealt with many Relators both in Canada and the US and we are so genuinely grateful to have found Barbara as our Trusted Professional. We can't thank her enough! Highest Regards, Paul Doyle and Peggy Way
Ladies!!You two are amazing! You’ve welcomed us to your community with open arms; taken us under your wing; showered us with lunches, dinners, gifts, and introductions to neat people; and most importantly, managed our process of finding just the right home for us! Can you please come over now and help us move in and clean the bathrooms? Ha!Thanks again for being real pros and good friends.Don & Kelly
Barbara was excellent! She made me feel comfortable with her knowledge of the market, she suggested rooms to stage for the best photography (she was right!), she marketed my property everywhere, she communicated with me throughout the process and finally she put my condo under contract after only 23 days from listing! I highly recommend Barbara to anyone buying or selling in the greater Sarasota area. She made my experience smooth and a pleasure. Michael Saunders should be very proud to have someone like Barbara representing her company. Very satisfied customer here.
Barbara Millan es la mejor Realtor que hemos podido encontrar , aparte de ser bilingüe (Ingles y español) , es una profesional en toda la extension de la palabra, mas seguros no pudimos estar de la compra de la propiedad que realizamos, , la investigación que realizo del predio fue exhaustiva y completa, y para el cierre de la operación, no tienen de que preocuparse, ella les hará entrega de cada detalle del predio, debidamente presentado. ES EXCELENTE!!!! Y Como ser humano, de las mejores energías que haya podido ver y sentir en una persona, la paciencia y su buen carácter hacen de ella el complemento perfecto para esta profesión. LA RECOMENDAMOS AMPLIAMENTE, NO SE VAN A ARREPENTIR DE PONER EN MANOS DE BARBARA LA BUSQUEDA DE LA MEJOR PROPIEDAD PARA CADA UNO DE USTEDES, DE ACUERDO A SUS ESPECIFICACIONES, y no importa el tiempo que se tomen, ella siempre va a estar dispuesta y con la mejor actitud.
Just purchased my house with the assistance of Barbara Milian. From our first conversation, it was clear she was both professional and likable. Through the process, she was proactive, supportive, and helpful, always ready to reach out to the right people to get information or push for actions. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends and look forward to inviting her over for a cup of coffee when the house is properly set up.
Barbara Millan is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. She kept us apprised about available appointments and always let us know as soon as a new one came on the market. She was honest and forthright-no games. We felt lucky to find Barbara. Wow!, made buying a house such a breeze. Home buying can be traumatic and have heard horror stories from friends and family about terrible agents. Barbara was professional and personal! She never made us feel uncomfortable and helped us every step of the way. Barbara, is absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. She really cares about her clients as well as the community and neighborhood she lives in. Barbara, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from making the offer, to working with the inspectors including the title company. This made it really easy to move into in less than 3 months. ?????? Five Stars is not enough!!! Highly Recommended
Barbara is the consummate professional in every way - and as thorough and pleasant as they come. You won't find or work with a nicer, more professional real estate agent - I highly recommend her for any home sale or purchase in the greater Sarasota area!
5 stars is not high enough of a rating. She deserves 10! We were the buyers in our transaction and the seller was difficult to deal with. Barbara handled the transaction with grace and ease. She is always positive and certainly prepared for the next step in the sales process. We would highly recommend her as a representative in your next transaction. Thanks again Barbara
My wife and I have purchased many properties over the last 30 years, including properties in Bradenton, St. Pete Beach, Tampa, Longboat Key, Key West, and St. Maarten. We have worked with many real estate agents on these transactions. Barbara is far and above the best real estate agent that we have ever worked with. Barbara was courteous, on-time, extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market, professional, and reliable. She was also very flexible about meeting us on short notice to view condos and she was very patient with us as she showed us many, many condos. Her creative skills enabled us to purchase a condo exactly where we wanted to buy as a result of her idea to do a mass mailing to all owners of the condo development where we wanted to buy. These mailings were successful in matching us with a seller. Barbara definitely is the gold standard of real estate agents. We love our new condo and we are so grateful to Barbara for all of her hard work. She was truly a pleasure to work with. Paul and Lisa Snyder
Wow! Where to begin. I consider myself extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to enlist Barbara Milian as my realtor. I am a second time homeowner with very little experience over the intensive process of finding and closing on a home However, from the minute we met I knew I was in good hands. At first I was a bit skeptical and hesitant in getting out there and looking at different properties. I wasn't 100% confident of my timeline, or even that I knew what type of house, what area or specific neighborhood I was interested in. And, to be honest, part of me was worried I could be wasting Barbara's time. All of those worries dissipated after our second outing. Barbara selected the very best properties in my budget, in areas both near and a little on the outside of the part of town I was leaning towards. Through her guidance and support we were able to narrow our search to two communities. And after only 3 months she helped me find the perfect home! Barbara is organized, detail oriented, knowledgeable, patient and has impressive connections with an array of licensed and reputable service providers from handymen, to cleaners, to general contractors and everyone in-between. Not only is Barbara a true professional, she is a truly delightful person. Every question I had, every thought I spoke out loud Barbara took action to provide immediate feedback and resolution as needed. There is no way I could have done this without her. I am confident in the choice of my new home, and confident I am well prepared to tackle any and all responsibilities of home ownership. And lastly, I am confident that Barbara will continue to guide and support me for any of my future questions or needs. Not only do I have a go-to realtor for life, I also have a friend for life. Thank you Barbara!
Barbara did a fantastic job helping us find our new home in Lakewood Ranch. We had been working with her coworker and found a house when he was out of town. Barbara stepped in and from the showing worked diligently with us to get a signed contract and close the deal. She is very well networked and had various businesses immediately reach out and work with us to enable a very quick close. We would highly recommend Barbara for your moving and relocation needs. We have moved quite a bit in our lifetime and Barbara has been, by far, the best relator we have worked with.
Barbara did a fantastic job for us. She took the time to learn about our family and our needs. It wasn't easy to find the perfect home for us (we are very picky). Barbara stuck with us and found the diamond we were looking for. She was committed to finding the perfect house for us and she did. She guided us through the entire process from search, to offer, to negotiation, to requirements, to closing and finally to moving in. To this day, Barbara continues to check in with us to make sure that we are happy in our new home. Thank you Barbara for all that you did for us - We believe that no one could have done as good a job as you. Thanks again
"Our home in Nashville went under contract, so now we had to have someone actually show us homes, and, of course, Maureen could not do that from the west coast. So she enlisted Barbara Milian to assist us, who proceeded to do a fabulous job for us in that regard. We could not have found a better real estate tandem to assist us. Both ladies are great at what they do, and with their complimentary skills sets we had the best of both worlds – both very knowledgeable about the local market, a great negotiator and a very detailed-oriented make it happen daily person. I’m sure you know how to categorize both of them! What’s even better – both ladies have become good friends of ours and introduced us already too many other wonderful people in the Sarasota area. We got very lucky, and for that, we are very thankful and grateful. I always tell everyone that people – regardless of the industry or profession – are by far the #1 asset in any business. That was certainly true in this instance! I hope that feedback is helpful and I look forward to meeting you soon. You have developed a top-notch real estate company." Thanks again, Don
Barbara is the best! She was very efficient in finding the right home for us, then she was very tenacious in working with us as we faced some challenges in bringing the new construction home to completion. Barbara makes each client feel like they are her only client. Her service is excellent.
Having the right agent is everything! My wife and I needed an expert in the Sarasota/Bradenton real estate market – when we found Barbara, we not only got a top, professional expert we got a friend! The result, was finding our dream house and location within a few weeks- a remarkable accomplishment in an extremely competitive market. Barbara is by far the best agent we have worked with – she is so easy to work with and just knows how to find great deals fast. Any person looking to purchase in the Sarasota/Bradenton should contact Barbra! She is truly a great professional that knows how to make things happen! Thank you Barbara!
I highly recommend Barbara Millian for all of your Real Estate needs. She is professional, efficient and honest. She went above and beyond for my family during our home purchase and also has a vast knowledge of all aspects of the market. If you’re looking for an agent who won’t waste your time and has your best interest at heart, look no further.
Barbara went above and beyond with selling a home for me and helping me buy another home, both in the Lakewood Ranch area. Her attention to detail and work ethic are unmatched. She made the process easy and worry-free. I highly recommend her!
Barbara helped our family move from out of state to the Sarasota/Bradenton area. Her knowledge of the area, the neighborhoods and schools made it easy for us to pick the community we wanted to live in and what would be best for our kids. We ultimately decided to build a new home and Barbara was instrumental in walking us through that process and working with the builder. She was a pleasure to work with and so helpful throughout the entire process! We can’t recommend her enough!
Thank you Ian and Barbara for all of your help finding and administrating our lot purchase. I have been very satisfied with your helpful, business-like attitude and would be very willing to recommend both of you. It was great to work with people so knowledgeable and friendly.
Barbara M. is excellent in every aspect when it comes to real estate! I met Barbara at an open house and she asked what type of a house I was looking for. That evening she sent me listings for exactly what I was looking for. And, after two weeks, I found the house that met all of my criteria - wow! Every step of buying process was professional with the highest level of integrity, knowledge and heart. Barbara went above and beyond consistently as a superb real estate professional! It was my pleasure to have Barbara and her extended peers as my real estate dream team! I would highly recommend Barbara for all your real estate needs - she’s the BEST!! CJ
Barbara was a dream to work with. She knows the area, is a knowledgeable negotiator and went above and beyond for us! We would not hesitate to recommend her or use her services again.
Thank you to Gail Wittig, Ian Addy, and Barbara Milian for all of your patience, creativity, focus, experience and expertise through our recent home purchase. We just love it!! We also wanted to thank you for all the time you took showing, re-showing, answering emails, texts and questions by phone. We know we had lots of them!
From our initial meeting to the closing professional expertise was evident. The pricing was research based and I received 10 offers over the first two days. Selling price above asking price. Barbara Milian sells houses. 5 plus stars!
