Catherine Barden

"Catherine: I wanted to commend you for the excellent work that you performed during our recent real estate transaction in Carlsbad. You demonstrated exceptional skill and professionalism from the very first day I contacted you via the internet six months ago. At that time I was exploring property in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area for a possible second home. I was not familiar with the area, so you were very invaluable in helping me understand the region and helping me maneuver my way around the various neighborhoods. Thru out the time, I never felt pressured to act on a particular property. It was always about picking the right house, something that both my wife and I wanted very much. I enjoyed the frank opinions you gave me on the numerous properties we looked at. “That house is overpriced, don’t buy it”, “The owners of that house haven’t maintained the house very well, let’s move on to something better” “That house is trouble, it is not right for you”. All this made me feel more comfortable working with you. When we did find the right home, this is when your professionalism started to shine, assisting us in making the offer and concluding the deal. During the course of this real estate transaction, I always felt you were working on my side. You pointed out things that I didn’t think about. You were able to work some things out with the seller on my behalf which I consider a bonus. Your follow up work was excellent. You always kept me in tune step by step throughout the transaction. You were always there whenever I wanted to stop by and inspect the property during the escrow period. Even after the close of escrow, you continue to assist and work with me as I make improvements at the new house. That is what I consider a professional real estate agent. It is now my turn to assist you. It was delightful working with you. I highly recommend you for any prospective buyer or seller looking for a great real estate agent. Please use me as a reference for any potential clients. Many thanks for the terrific service I received. Gordon Yee Carlsbad, CA."

"It is with great pleasure that I wish to commend your office for the excellent service our family received during our recent real estate transactions. Even more so, I wish to express my appreciation and gratitude to Catherine Barden for her support and superior professionalism in handling both the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. Catherine is an exceptional realtor; she is intelligent, detail oriented with great communication skills, and understands the real estate market even in the complicated transition period that we are currently passing through. Catherine was very efficient in handling the paperwork, organizing inspections and explaining to us the step by step the procedures involved in both selling and purchasing a home. Although this is a challenging time to market a house, Catherine’s advice and negotiation skills provided us the opportunity to sell within a short period of time for a fair price and to quickly find a replacement house that has great value for the price. Catherine was just a delight to work with. We highly recommend Catherine Barden as she is an excellent realtor for either selling or purchasing a home. Please feel free to use my name and this letter for reference purposes. Sincerely, Wayne A. Bryant 32 Meritage Common #106"
