Testimonials
Barbara and her team were efficient and professional at quickly listing and selling our home. We highly recommend.
This was a long process due to the poor market conditions in Florida but Barbara hung in with me to get my property sold. She is knowledgeable and keeps up with market trends. Her team is also great to work with. Molly was very helpful, all documents were available quickly to sign as she is on top of everything. I appreciate all the support I received during the sale of my house. Working with Barb and team was a pleasure and I highly recommend them when you need to buy or sell.
Barbara Milian and her team were extremely professional and did an amazing job at selling both my homes. Her and her team are very knowledgeable when it comes questions you have and if they don’t know the answer they will find out for you. They are very responsive and overall extremely pleasant to work with.
We just spent a few moments looking at reviews of Barbara and her team and couldn't agree more with the accolades they received from other buyers and sellers! Barbara made us comfortable within the first few moments of meeting with her. We are new to this area and Barbara was quick to dodge and weave with our changing thoughts on what our exact needs were for our transition to Lakewood Ranch. She was patient and thoughtful - listened and responded to our comments on the homes we visited with her. Our last home in Florida was over three hours away and Barbara was always respectful of our limited time for house hunting and we felt that we were her number one priority while we were in the area. She was always prepared with information and shared ideas for how to make any home our own. When we drove around the area, we appreciated Barbars's knowledge of the vicinity and narrative about the area as we drove with her from place to place. Once we decided to make our purchase, we discussed the sale of our home on the East coast with Barbara. She knew how difficult that decision was for us and was supportive and empathetic to our concerns about selling in a difficult market. She provided guidance and feedback and always made us feel like she was part of that process as well! Ultimately we decided to go with new construction which was conducted while we were up north. Barbara monitored the progress of the build and kept us informed, and we felt comfortable relying on her extensive knowledge of the process though we were remote. She was diligent during the closing process and helped us keep on top of all the details associated with dealing with a large scale builder. Notes were taken during our walk through and emailed to us in a timely manner so that we could react appropriately. She made every effort to keep us on top of a sometimes demanding timeline! Barbara continues to communicate about homesteading and other details that need to be addressed after the closing. We continue to feel comfortable reaching out to her with questions after the closing and confident in knowing that Barbara will be there in the future if needed.
We are beyond grateful to Barbara A. Milian PA for helping our family purchase our beautiful home in Lakewood Ranch. This is my third home purchase with Barbara, and once again she exceeded every expectation. Barbara truly listens to what her clients want and need, and her flexibility made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. She treated our family like her own, while still maintaining the highest level of professionalism. From start to finish, she made the home-buying experience easy, clear, and enjoyable. I highly recommend Barbara and her team for all real estate needs. Her expertise, care, and dedication are unmatched, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else.
