Tony Fernandes, Pleasanton, a buyer from Hayfork, CA
Barb was brought on to put a difficult transaction together in a timely manner and she came through with everything promised.
Margarette Foster, Seaside, California, a seller from Seaside, CA
I was reviewing information about Barbara regarding houses she had listed. I also read about her personal information and thoughts. She seemed genuine and I liked what I read. I didn't actually choose her until after 2 years of evaluating real estate agents in my area.
Barbara and I discussed what my goal was and what expectations I had. She and I went through everything that she suggested need be done to meet my goals and she also was on point to the exact amount of what the house would sell for. I was amazed and elated. Also she anticipated the time my house would be on the market and she was accurate on this point as well.
I wish all real estate agents were as phenomenal as Barbara. She made this experience so easy and stress free. We were out of state and she handled everything in a quick and efficient manner when something needed attention. From inspections to ensuring everything was in order. I would highly recommend Barbara. Selling our home was a personal and emotional event and she made it a pleasant experience.
When looking for a new home in Salinas, Barbara Weidman was recommended to us and we are so glad she was! Barbara exceeded our expectations and in fact, outperformed any other realtor we have worked with over the past forty years.
Throughout each step of the process, we found her to be knowledgeable, professional, personable and clearly an excellent listener. Learning our needs and wants, and expectations; Barbara did a superb job finding properties that fit the bill. And, despite the fact we lived 200 miles away, always made herself available in accommodating our own erratic and somewhat inflexible schedule.
Home buying can be extremely stressful. The combination of Barbara's experience, expertise, guidance, plus her calm, yet upbeat demeanor was invaluable. She kept us informed and on track at every step of the purchasing process.
Barbara's proactive and keen negotiating skills headed off the problematic complications we experienced with our last home purchase in 2014. And, when our lender turned out to be a nightmare, the person she hooked us up with was just the opposite - amazingly competent and communicative.
Not surprisingly, every trade person, service or other local business she has recommended has been EXCELLENT. New to the area, even now months past our purchase, we turn to her when looking for pretty much any service.
We are happy with the price we paid for our new home and absolutely love it. We wholeheartedly recommend Barbara Weidman to anyone interested in selling or buying a home.
Yogesh Sharma, San Jose , a buyer from San Jose, CA
Barb is a friendly agent working with. She doesn't impose and rush anything to her clients. She provides all details of the process and property information. There were some ups and downs in our home buying journey as first time home buyers, but she did handle the process professionally . Thanks Barb that we got our new home. I strongly recommend Barb to my Bay Area friends.
Linda Moiola, Brawley, CA, a seller from Carmel, CA
I met Barbara Weidman in 2/19 when I was going to look at a house to purchase in Carmel-by-the-Sea. She picked me up at the train station (the train was delayed 6 hours due to a fatality on the tracks). She didn't know if I was going to buy the house, but she was still there. We had an instant connection. I made her my property manager which she did for 2 years. When I was putting the house up for sale it was a no brainer that I would have her do it. She made the process as easy as when I bought the the house. She arranged the open houses and sent me the pictures and videos that were used to sell the house. It sold quickly and at a good price. She is a friend for life! Anyone looking for a realtor in Monterey County would do well having Barb as their realtor.
It's always a difficult task to purchase a home sight-unseen, and it's imperative to have an experienced and communicative realtor who understands your preferences and needs. Barbara was absolutely amazing in every aspect of the transaction and skillfully shepherded us through all the ups-and-downs of remote home-buying, providing us detailed videos, attending to the home inspections, and deftly handling more than one stumbling block during our process.
Her love of what she does and the care she provides to her clients is evident, and her personalized services makes you feel like you're the only client she has -- even though she has to be busy.
Would recommend Barbara to anybody purchasing in the area.
Shannon Taylor Monterey, Ca, a buyer from Monterey, CA
We were happy with Barbara from the beginning and always felt we were a priority. She was so responsive and never dropped the ball. We trusted her completely!
Jay Derrico, Camarillo, CA, a seller from Salinas, CA
Barb is a constant professional, looking out for the customer's needs. She approaches the sales process as if it was her own property, giving us wise and experienced counsel. Barb supervised the upgrades to our property, making the process seamless for us. Barb knows the area and understands the fluid nature of the housing market. Barb receives my highest recommendation and well earned appreciation.
Paula Burkleo Pacific Grove California, a seller from Pacific Grove, CA
Barbara Weidman is an amazing real estate agent.
She handled everything to prepare the home for market. She has a wonderful team of contractors, handyman, stagers & gardeners.
She went above and beyond for me and my family,
She really cares about people.
Barbara got us multiple offers and the highest price for our property.
I highly recommend her.
my experience with Barbara was so great, I am having her sell another one of my families properties.
Barbara Weidman is a wonderful person and knows her business of buying and selling real estate.
Michael Browner Pacific Grove, a buyer from Pacific Grove, CA
Finding a house was quick and pleasant. Barbara is knowledgeable about the three areas we looked at.
The negotiations were handled well.
Post offer issues were handled quickly and easy and we closed on time.
Overall a nice transaction. We will recommend Barbara to other friends.
Linda Wendtland, Falls Church, VA, a seller from Monterey, CA
Ms. Weidman did an outstanding job handling my property sale. She took care of every last detail and got a high price. Id highly recommend her to any property seller. She was utterly professional and a pleasure to work with. Im eternally grateful to her.
Barbara Weidman is knowledgeable, committed, thorough, punctual, has a great personality, a good communicator, easy to work with, connected, follows up, and provides an overall excellent service.
I am extremely satisfied with the experience. Barbara makes the process of purchasing a house go as smoothly and painlessly as possible. I highly recommend Barbara without any reservations.
Barbara really does go above and beyond the call of her duty. You can rest at peace knowing that she has done what she says she's going to do. To be able to "trust" is so important. Her loyalty to her clients is amazing. She makes a stressful transaction in your life easier to deal with. More people need to meet Barbara and use her as their agent, I promise they will never go anywhere else. Loyalty for life is the relationships that Barbara builds thru out her career. Well Done Barbara!!!! Excellence should her middle name. Thank you, Lila Diaz
Barbra Weidman has risen to the top of her profession, and has earned every step of that position.. Sometimes there are few words to describe a woman of this caliber, but I will try. Barbra is the MOST POSITIVE person I have EVER met. She has been involved with 3 purchases of home and land for me in the past 5 years. NOTHING is too much trouble for her to do, or SOLVE situations that incur whilst a Real Estate transaction is being performed. She goes OVER and ABOVE what is necessary to get the job DONE and FINISHED. She is TRUSTWORTHY, and WILL DO FOR YOU WHAT SHE SAYS SHE WILL. NO TASK is too big or TOO SMALL. She WILL NOT BASE HER PERFORMANCE of the dollar value of the SELLERS PROPERTY, or the BUYING OF A NEW ONE. EVERY CLIENT is treated EQUALLY. We all know that if something is too good to be true, it usually is, and will bring some kind of misery, pain and suffering our way. In the case of BARBRA WEIDMAN she is GREAT, HONEST, HARDWORKING and TRUSTWORTHY. I know I was so blessed to have her work on my behalf. She is a HUGE CREDIT and ASSET to CENTURY 21, and the COMPANY is EXTREMELY BLESSED to have her on their TEAM. Thank you Barbra. I WILL ALWAYS BE SOOOOO THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL TO YOU for your INCREDIBLE work ethics, kindness, and TOTAL PROFESSIONALISM you displayed in some difficult circumstances.
First of all I want to say Barbara was heaven sent. She was knowledge about the industry and on top of everything. She took the time to go through my contract information page by page. Which I feel is so important!!! She made the process smooth and this relieved a lot of fear and anxiety that comes along with purchasing a home. It's nice to know there are professionals out there you can trust and rely on. I would definitely recommend her to a friend or family member.
Barbara has been in the business for many years. She has a network of people to help get the job done. I was really impressed. No matter what the circumstances buying a house was reachable. People need to hear that.
Cristian and Rebecca Pozo, a buyer from Hollister, CA
Barb was fantastic - in a seller's market with low inventory where we were looking, Barb got us (buyers) into a house we are happy with and made escrow go as smoothly as possible. She always seemed available and happy to answer our many questions as first time buyers. Would definitely recommend Barb to others and have no regrets selecting her to represent us.
Barbara is an amazing realtor! From the beginning she was responsive and helpful. She explained the whole process of buying a house and did everything in her power to get the best offers for houses. Her response time was incredible when it came to putting offers and having us fill out forms. What's even more incredible was that she was able to make things work and get us house during COVID-19 pandemic. She made the whole signing process quick and easy. She was also able to get us connected with a loan officer. I am excited to finally move into my house!
As first time home buyers we had a great experience working with Barbara. She was super helpful and considerate of our schedule making it flexible to set up appointments etc....
Bill Boughton, Pleasanton, a seller from Pleasanton, CA
When we had a chance to sit down and discuss her approach to the selling of my property she was immediately able to touch on several of the key components which I knew were going to be important to me. She just had a practical way of explaining her approach which was nice to hear. She never tried to oversell which is a common mistake often times made by inexperienced brokers.
Barb was sensitive to all the various aspects of sale of my house which I knew were going to be challenging. She was able to understand the stress I was under with not only selling the property but getting it ready to show and ultimately gathering up all my belongings after the sale to vacate the property.
I cant stress enough how helpful she was in understanding where my key stress / anxiety points were and carefully navigating them. She was always understanding and accommodating when necessary.
She was a pleasure to deal with. I then spoke with my neighbor and gave them my highest recommendation for Barb to be the listing agent on their house as well.......which she got and I believe is already under contract and in escrow.
Barbara had previously represented buyers & sellers on my street. I felt that was important. Also, she was a full-time agent and I wanted to sell the house quickly. She was incredible in the way she worked with this group (4 siblings); she was able to move the process forward at every stumbling block in a timely manner. She jumped right in & solved any problems right away. I honestly believe no one else could have done it. The house was beautifully staged. We had restored the house prior to sale. And she was helpful in recommending people to take care of last-minute details.
Barbara is patient with questions and took the time needed to explain the process. She works well with people and other agents and is efficient at organizing what needs to get done in an efficient & timely manner. She was always accessible and took time to explain some things by making short videos to communicate with the group.
Barbara was accurate in her suggestions regarding sale price. She was thorough in her on-line advertising campaign; and from the first day on the market, the interest was intense. We had 6 offers within just a few days and the house sold for over asking price. She outperformed in bringing this group of siblings together on several issues in a way that satisfied all. And she kept the process moving. She is organized and obviously experienced. Everything happened like clockwork.
Excellent, efficient, professional.
M & M Kanyoro, Menlo Park, CA 94025, a seller from Menlo Park, CA
The most important concern for us was to find and work with a knowledgeable agent who is willing to invest time listen to us and serve our needs rather than convince us of their personal experience and that of their realtor. Barbara met this criteria.
Lori Mazzuca, Monterey, CA, a buyer from Monterey, CA
I met Barbara Weidman at an open house she was hosting. Barbara was incredibly generous with her time and patient answering all of my questions -- and then some. Barbara was not pushy about who was representing me, nor in any way looking to score me as a client. It was clear from talking to Barbara that first day that her main intention both personally and professionally, was to serve her clients and do whatever possible to get them into their dream home. This is why I chose Barbara, and it is EXACTLY what she did for me!!
Buying a home is such a stressful event in a person's life, and more times than I can count, Barbara was there to help me breathe through the experience, settle fraying nerves and hold my hand while I took one step at a time. Even long after the sale was done and closed, Barbara made herself available to offer assistance and suggestions with everything from minor questions to major home renovation -- and everything in between!
I cannot say in enough ways that Barbara went above and beyond what most agents would ever do in order to get me into my home. She was available in every way at all hours of the day/night. I'm not sure how she did all she did for me, it was as if I was her only client because she was ALWAYS there and available for my needs. Barbara Weidman is hands down, the best agent I've ever had!
I am so thankful I chose Barbara as my agent--and because of that decision, my little dog and I are going to live happily ever after in our little dream California beach bungalow!
Seller in Monterey, California , a seller from Monterey, CA
Barb handles matter fairly and calmly. Made the selling process as low key and low stress as possible.
Jim Lauderdale Monterey, a seller from Monterey, CA
Barbara was excellent. Professional, charming and effective. She made the entire transaction smooth and problem-free. True excellence in performance.
Barbara Weidman is an excellent real estate agent. Her energy & positivity is amazing & her knowledge & professionalism is superior.
Ellen Brown, Monterey, CA, a seller from Monterey, CA
Barbara is truly an exceptional person as well as an exceptional real estate agent. Her honesty and caring come through because they are real. But she is also exceedingly professional, knowledgeable and capable. Her guidance was invaluable because we were confused about how to proceed marketing our rather unusual property. We trusted her in our absence to handle multiple tasks to prepare our property for sale--and we were so happy with the results! Also, the marketing plan she implemented was better than we ever anticipated. She networks and interacts exceptionally well with agents and buyers alike. Upon signing the contract she and her team moved swiftly and made sure everything was properly handled. I could go on and on but can simply say working with Barbara is more like having a trusted partner than an agent. She quickly and calmly gets the job done. I can wholeheartedly say HIRE THIS LADY! I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Anthony J Torres - Seaside, a seller from King City, CA
Barbara it was great working with you. You went beyond the limits and at time a was ready to give up. But you kept telling me to give it time and I'm glad I did. I will recommend you to my friends and family. Hope to work with you again.
Linda Moiola, Brawley, CA, a buyer from Carmel, CA
Barbara made purchasing this house a lot easier than I thought it would be. She went out of her way to be helpful, from picking me up at the train station after a long trip, to booking a hotel room for me and putting me in touch with a car rental company. She was understanding of my situation. I live a 10 hour drive south of Carmel, have lived in my home for for over 41 years and was widowed over a year ago. I was nervous about making such a large purchase. I decided on renting the house for 2-3 years and then making it my home. I am looking forward to having Barbara as my property manager. She has all the contacts that I need to get things done before getting renters as well as for having things that I want done to the house for myself. Barbara is professional, really "knows her stuff" and is just an all around nice person. I am so grateful to her for all of her assistance.
Shirley Gilliam, Castroville, a seller from Castroville, CA
It was such a pleasure to work with Barbara. She proved to be the perfect agent in selling my 89-year-old mother's home. Her depth of experience and understanding proved invaluable throughout the selling process. It made such a difference having her support and expertise. She helped me keep things in perspective. I learned alot from her and am truly appreciative.
Barbara was a pro. We ran into my obstacles which delayed the close of escrow but all matters were resolved to my satisfaction.
Barbara was great to work with. She's upbeat and positive. Her personal touches to the home (pillows, artwork, etc.) made a positive impact. She has a great sense of style!
Barbara Weidman was the agent who represented us on the purchase of another property in May 2018. She patiently worked with us for many months before we purchased that property. Her tenacity, keen understanding of our needs, as well as knowledge of the North Monterey County market were instrumental.
More importantly, Barbara takes her duties and responsibilities as an agent seriously, ensuring transparency throughout every facet of the process, from offer and acceptance to close of escrow.
In my view, she brought considerable value to the process, benefiting all parties.
Karie Mazerik Salinas, CA, a seller from Castroville, CA
Barb Weidman has been our realtor for several real estate transactions and we would not use anyone else! She is knowledgeable, professional and extremely responsive. We have full confidence in her as a realtor and would (and do) recommend her to anyone.
Peter Adams, non-local Seller of Pebble, a seller from Pebble Beach, CA
Beyond the usual work that an agent has to do, Barbara also had to manage the strategy and planning and execution of some contracting/upgrade work, plus deal with renters. Also, the Sellers were not local. She had MANY things to do and manage, and she did them all perfectly. There were a few times when the deal could have gone sideways; but Barbara anticipated them and maintained a good sense of the Buyers from dealing with their agent, and steered the Owners toward a proper strategy to keep the deal alive. All at a favorable price in a competitive local market. Barbara's special magic is that she makes it all look easy and enjoyable for her. She is Amazing!
Barbara was above and beyond what we expected. She was nothing short of amazing. She handled all details for us from helping to come up with a reasonable improvement plan, staging plan, working with the contractors to make sure all work and repairs were done properly as well as having to work with our tenants to keep them happy. Barbara is so personable and easy to work with. She responds to every phone call or email in a timely manner and if she can't talk at that time she let's you know when she will be able to talk to you.
When it came time to negotiate with the prospective buyers Barbara gave us great advice and it worked. Our house was priced well and we received an offer after the first open house. We then closed escrow within two months!
We will highly recommend Barbara Weidman to our friends who are looking to sell or buy in the area.
Alejandra Llanas. Salinas, Ca, a seller from Castroville, CA
Barbara is great, so helpful, always looking out for us.
Jennifer Koelling, Oakland, a buyer from Oakland, CA
As a first time homebuyer, I don't think I could have asked for a better realtor. Barb took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for, was patient and understanding throughout my search, and provided excellent guidance and advice. Buying a home for the first time is both scary and exciting, and Barb helped calm my nerves and reassure me, but was never pushy or made me feel pressured. She also was incredibly responsive and took the time to answer my many, many questions. She is great!
Barb was instrumental in the closing process as she drove the 24-day escrow and was proactive at every step. I do not have a single criticism: she was wonderful to work with and did a superb job. We would not have succeeded in getting our dream property without her. 2018
Yalonda Corona-Guerra , Pacific Grove,, a seller from Carmel, CA

Jeff Fohl, Scotts Valley, CA, a buyer from Scotts Valley, CA
Barbara Weidman went above and beyond to help us in so many ways. For over a year and half, she worked with us - driving over hill and dale - hiking into the forest and fields, looking at house after house. Her dedication to our project of buying a house was remarkable.
Barbara is a caring, thoughtful, and empathetic agent. We are grateful to have been able to work with her. 2017
George Towner, Sunnyvale, a seller from Carmel, CA
More than I hoped, better than I imagined possible. 2017
Barbara helped to restore our faith in Realtors. She is competent, efficient, knowledgeable, hard- working and honest. Most of all she is just a great person. She stuck by us through a long and arduous hunt for that perfect home. Her knowledge about rural properties was invaluable.Never once were we rushed or pressured, only supported and told we would know the right home when we saw it. Barbara has followed through to insure everything would be ready for our move in date, even after our papers were signed. We feel so lucky to have found not only a great Realtor, but a good friend. 2017
This was my first time home purchase and Barbara made it easy to understand and stress free. She was always reachable and patient with my many questions and concerns. She helped make my first time home purchase a smooth experience. Thank you, Barbara!! 2017

She respected and managed communications with all family members involved in this transaction. And, she understood my privacy and personal needs as a seller.
Barbara Weidman is detail oriented and handled all aspects of the sale professionally. She always maintained a positive attitude and I was happy to see her.
She became a friend to me.
I highly recommend Barbara Weidman as a skilled negotiator with high integrity, having respect for everyone involved. In my opinion she went above and beyond my expectations of a realtor. 2016
