Barrie Kydd

I met Barrie when I called Long and Foster about a property I saw listed and luckily Barrie answered the phone. I had been casually looking at houses for a bit but was now getting more serious about buying. Having bought several houses in other states I was surprised that none of the agents I had met in Maryland took any interest in me as a client. That is until I met Barrie. She got it right away. I made it clear up front that it might be a while before I was ready to buy and that was fine with her. She was prepared to commit to working hard for me as long as I was prepared to commit to working exclusively with her. I was happy to make that deal as I finally met an agent who was eager and excited to work hard for me. Barrie was enthusiastic and made the effort to get to know me, my tastes and what I was looking for. She was prepared, professional and fun to work with which turned out to be a good thing because we saw a lot of properties! I not only got a great deal on a new home but I got a wonderful new friend and some great stories to tell!

I wanted to take a few minutes and thank you for all your hard work in selling our condo. I hope this letter will help others learn what an exemplary realtor you are. You were honest and direct in all our dealings, from the pre-contract meeting right up until settlement. You did a very good job explaining how the sale process would work and the helpful things we could do to hopefully get a quick sale. When we had the hiccup of the first contract falling through, you immediately jumped back into sales mode to bring us the successful offer in record time. You were proactive and communicated with us on all points. You know Lionsgate from roof top terrace to parking garage. No other realtor has your history of success or knowledge in the building. You provided the support and confidence we needed to get the deal done. I will gladly recommend you to friends, family and acquaintances. We will be back in the market in a few years and we will stay in touch as that time approaches.

In February, I called Real Living At Home from Birmingham AL, to locate the real estate agent who sold my Mom's neighbor's house in Silver Spring MD. Barrie Kidd was the only one in the office that day because of snow in MD. She offered to sell my Mother's house herself. A week or so later she met my sister and me at my Mother's house in Silver Spring along with another veteran agent from her office. Barrie already had a brochure of the house when she arrived. We went with a price recommended and staged the house with recommendations from Barrie. The market in the area appears to be very much a sellers market, however, having Barrie on the job turned out to be the icing on the cake. The house sold after the 1st open house. Thank you Barrie.

As a first time seller, I did not knowing exactly what to expect. Barrie made sure every I was dotted and every T was crossed so that I felt comfortable and knowledgeable about every step of the process. I appreciate realtors who take every precaution and explain in detail each step as we go, and who care about my needs and property just as much as I do. And most importantly, I appreciate those realtors who make sure there are no surprises. Her attention to detail made this an entirely smooth process, and that is much appreciated.
