Matt Barker

We primarily worked with Ginny to find our first time home over about a year and a half and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her through touring homes together. As first timers, her knowledge and expertise were invaluable to us and she helped us every step of the way. We appreciated her patience with us, her honesty, and her responsiveness. She was a joy to work with and we are so pleased with our new home!

Matt and Ginny helped us negotiate as we bought and get a fantastic offer when we sold. They were personable, attentive to us, and experts at the process. They gave us confidence every step of the way, and even managed to make parts of the process enjoyable!

Matt & Ginny Barker were excellent! They didnt mind showing us house after house until we found the perfect home. They certainly knew houses, markets and resale values. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend them. They can be trusted!

While our experience was primarily with Ginny, we found Matt to be equally helpful and knowledgeable when we dealt with him. We would visit family in Asheville every 4-6 weeks, and Ginny would usually be able to give us a half day each trip to look at homes. We also dealt with her extensively via email. She was very accommodating to us as we we learned the various areas of the city, refining both our new home needs/desires and location as it related it the families location in the city. She was extremely patient with us in this process, and though we felt we frustrated her at times, she never showed it! As an indication of the trust she had established with us over about a year and a half, a home became available which she felt truly met our needs and desires. She took our daughter-in law on a walk-through of the home, and armed only with pictures, short videos, and their feedback we made an offer on the home site unseen! We never regretted it. She was always available for our questions/concerns as the buying process unfolded. She and Matt are a team that truly have the best interests of their clients in mind.

It may be a cliche but Matt and Ginny went the extra mile in helping Aileen and I find a home and make the move to Asheville. Ive been involved in six moves as well as two office constructions and in all cases I was fortunate to have great support. With that said Matt and Ginny are at the top of the list for help and time spent to insure the move to Asheville would be accomplished and our minds would be at ease with such a complicated process. We moved from South Carolina. The market where we lived was slow so when we put our home on the market we expected a minimum of six months before it would sell. Fortunately it sold immediately but the buyer wanted to purchase the home quickly. We had a time frame of four weeks to learn about Asheville (a potential destination which we heard about but never visited) as well as consider properties that fit our requirements and financial concerns. On the third day of extensive searching we found a condo that ticked all the buttons. It is not an overstatement to say we had a lot to do in a very short time. Matt guided us all the way from helping us filling out the necessary forms to providing lists of people who we needed to undertake our transaction to negotiating the purchase price on our behalf. Aileen and I can not thank Matt and Ginny enough for all their help.

Matt and Ginny have helped my husband and me buy and sell several properties in central Asheville over the course of the last 15 years, and we wouldnt think of contacting anyone else. Their sense of integrity means so much to us, they are fun to work with, and totally dedicated to real estate match-making.The market research is excellent, yet they are willing to consider all factors that will get a sale done.

Ginny and Matt Barker are two of the kindest people we have ever met. We didnt feel like we were working with real estate agents, but family members. They treated us like we were their most important clients, and I believe they treat everyone this way. They are also EXTREMELY knowledgable of the area - even fun facts that helped us fall even more in love with the city of Asheville. I want more of our friends to buy houses just so we can refer them!

Matt and Ginny were responsive, efficient, pro-active, engaging, and pleasant to work with. They dealt with every challenge that arose expeditiously, provided connections with other service providers when needed, and addressed all of the 1000 details that come up in such a situation. It was really an excellent experience working with them!

Ginny and Matt were amazing!! We were probably difficult customers due to the needs and price range. They are very honest and knowledgeable about everything! Most importantly they were always available ASAP which was super important as many houses were selling within days. When we are ready to sell and buy again we will definitely use The Barkers!

Ginny and Matt listened to our needs and found us homes to see that met those needs. They didnt pressure us to buy any home. They can always be counted on to communicate well. After 14 moves we have had plenty of experience with realtors. They are the best we have ever dealt with. Its been a year since we worked with them. They are still willing to answer questions from us.
