Without reservation, Barbara Sweeney is an elite and incredible real estate professional. She possesses all the characteristics that you would want in a realtor; she’s efficient and effective, has a true pulse on the market, and is exceptionally knowledgeable about everything in the town. Barbara has a deep understanding of how things work within the municipality, and how best to approach any issue which requires attention. She anticipates needs and is always one step ahead of everyone else. Over the past 30 or so years, we participated in numerous co-op and housing sales in New York and Connecticut. Undoubtedly, Barbara’s work far exceeded that of the many realtors that were involved in these transactions; the comparison is not even close. Barbara’s success in real estate is a result of her hard work, professional and ethical approach to her business. But most importantly, she is simply pleasant and easy to work with!

Barbara was my real estate agent when I sold my house in early 2018. At that time the market was a buyer's market and houses, if not staged and priced to sell, would sit on the market for long periods of time. Barbara made suggestions as to what had to be done to make the sale of my home go quickly and be as profitable as possible. She offered many contacts for design, staging, painting, floor refinishing, construction etc. More often than not, her contacts were the most cost effective. Having a full time job, Barbara went out of her way to meet contractors at my home while I was at work. In the end, I sold my house in less than one week with an offer $100k over asking in a very difficult market for sellers. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.

Barbara is an exceptional realtor, and a fantastic person. She gets to know her clients personally and really takes an interest in ensuring that the right house is found. Her expertise is unmatched while navigating some of the most difficult markets we've seen. She's with you the entire way, up to, and even after the closing to make sure everything is to plan. As an added bonus, Barbara comes with an extensive book of contacts for any project in mind and can always see the potential of every house she shows.

As first-time homebuyers, Barbara was the best person to have guide us through the difficult process of finding our perfect home. She went out of her way to pick my wife and I up from the train station to drove us around all day to see listings. We were so impressed with her knowledge of the neighborhoods. Barbara also provided us with recommendations for painters, hardwood floor installers, inspectors, and mortgage brokers. She made a difficult process very seamless for us. Most importantly, Barbara was always open and honest with us. We always felt like she had our back and we couldn’t imagine using anyone else to represent us. We look forward to using her services again when the time comes for our next move.

As a first time home buyer, I had the absolute best experience imaginable! While I knew the general area I was interested in, and the type of house I was looking for I could never have accomplished this without the experienced guidance provided by Barbara! Her constant presence and knowledge made this a very easy process. Barbara made sure to be at EVERY appointment from the first showing all the way through my closing. As a first time home buyer, her dedication and advice was invaluable. Barbara has an amazing gift to wholly understand her clients’ vision and showed me perfect fit opportunities that I could not have envisioned before working together!

We met Barbara by chance at an open house, described our situation to her and she was up front and honest with us about what to expect. She worked with us every step of the way; her market knowledge and input was always right on and we knew that nothing would fall through the cracks on her watch. She is responsive, professional and worked hard to help us find out perfect home.

Barb Sweeney represented me as a buyer’s agent for nearly two years (!) before finding my perfect home. She led me on this long journey with patience, expertise and insight, and I wouldn’t have gotten the result I did without her. She helped find great properties but importantly also helped me eliminate ones that would waste our time. She used her experience to find things both good and bad I never would have picked out myself. And she is full of amazing contacts in the business that we brought in to help (contractors, inspectors, builders, zoning experts, designers, etc). Barb was early to every meeting, and made herself nearly always available despite being one of the busiest Realtors in town. And on top of all that she had great insight and touch when it came time to submitting that winning offer on a hot house in a bonkers sellers market. I cannot recommend Barb enough - a consummate professional and a real joy to work with.

Once again, Barbara Sweeney made all the difference in our world, and therefore more than happy to give her our highest rating possible. In a crazy environment, in many cases driven by unscrupulous actors and other headwinds, it is critical to work with the most professional people in the business, and Barbara continues to show, on a daily basis, why she's leading her field. Our most recent transaction would not have landed if it were not for her. We're happy to have had her on our side for over a decade now. It doesn't hurt she's a very nice person on top of it. Highly Recommended!

I worked with Barbara over a two year period and she was great. She's an experienced, friendly and hard working resource not only for selling your home, but for getting it ready as well. Barbara came in on spec and did a thorough evaluation of what needed to be done to make my home look and sell it's best. I used contractors she recommended to resurface wood floors, paint inside and out, one plumbing repair and home staging. They all did excellent work. The COVID pandemic in 2020 made me delay putting it on the market for one year, but when I did, Barbara's punch-list of improvements and her hard work generated multiple top offers. During the contract phase, the legal representation she recommended was also top notch. Barbara even helped me get moved. Can't say enough good things about her. Sign Barbara Sweeney up! You won't be sorry.

From the very first conversation a few months before we put the house on the market, Barbara was a kind, patient, resourceful and intelligent advisor. She knows both the rental and sale market and advised us by giving us all the facts and information we needed to make our decision. When we decided To sell our house, she was in immediate action, fully prepared, and most of all, made us feel that our listing was at the top of her priority list even though she was working on other projects at the same time. Her advice on the listing amount based on what the market was doing was correct. She is the ultimate professional with answers to anything and always available. Barbara was at the house for every showing, had them all organized safely for COVID restrictions, followed up with buyers immediately, and we had numerous over asking offers in the first weekend. Her advice on how to show the house was perfect, and everything she told us would happen did happen. In choosing a buyer, Barbara was very specific and clear on the positives and negatives of the offers and guided us through to a very clear decision. She is smart, clear, communicative, kind and very easy to talk to. We would recommend Barbara over and over again 100%. We think she is one of the very best agents anyone could ever hope to work with.

Barbara made us feel like her only clients, she was always available to connect with us and would promptly respond - always! -As first time buyers, she patiently explained (and re-explained!) many parts of the paperwork & process that we were not familiar with. -Barbara went above and beyond with connecting us with the right contacts (lawyer, inspectors) and helping set up necessary appointments to keep everything moving in a timely manner. -We we’re unlucky enough to purchase a house in the NYC suburbs during the COVID exodus from the city and Barbara made the process as seamless as possible despite the insane market conditions

I've bought and sold many homes and have to say that Barbara is one of the best realtors that I have come across. She is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the purchase, knows the area/properties/does research/knows the builders/long list of trusted people in her network who she has been working with for years. We were able to secure our beautiful home in the most stressful of Covid times where every house had multiple offers and Barbara made this possible. She is not just a yes person, but truly honest with her opinions which I really appreciate and worked tirelessly on our behalf in every aspect of the purchase even after we closed. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking to Buy/Sell in the Westport area without hesitation.
