Barbara is super knowledgeable, truly an expert real estate agent! But more importantly, she is personable. She worked hard to understand our wants and needs as clients, and was tenacious about getting us into the right house. She succeeded! We couldn't be happier. Thanks Barbara.
Once again Barbara Bodnar has represented me, this time for the sale of my home. And, like my previous experience with Barbara, when my husband and I worked with her as buyers, she has consistently proved to be the best. Barbara is professional and experienced. And her assistant Nathalie is terrific. She knows how to make things happen while being delightful to work with!
In the spring of 2022, my husband and I decided that we wanted to buy a home in the Hudson Valley.Having family in Dutchess County, we spent time in the area and discovered its wonderful cultural and natural qualities.A broker we knew in NYC had worked on a sale with Barbara Bodnar at Coldwell Banker in the Yorktown office, and highly recommended her to us. Buying a house is not easy.It takes perseverance.You need a broker who is not just experienced, but also one who is professional and patient.You need a broker who communicates well, who has integrity and truly cares about your interests. It doesnt hurt if you really like them and enjoy spending time with them. This is an important relationship. Im describing Barbara, and our relationship with her.
Along the way, Barbara cautioned us when necessary, negotiated when needed and understood when we were discouraged. We learned that she had a previous career as a social worker, and rapidly understood how she used those skills in the entire process.
After a long and difficult search, and after submitting bids on multiple properties that didnt pan out, we found just the right property. Finding a house you like enough to submit an offer and getting an offer accepted is only the first step. You want to know that you are making the right decision. Barbara connected us to a trusted network of professionals that included her indispensable assistant Nathalie, a home inspector, a general contractor, an electrician, a radon remediator, a security company, an appraiser and a company for window treatments all expert and terrific to work with. It is easy to feel overwhelmed by the to do list around buying a home, let alone find expert and reliable professionals. Barbara and her network gave us confidence that we chose the right home pre-sale and could help us make the property the home we wanted post-sale.
We finally closed on our house in April of this year. We could not have done it without Barbara. She is a gem.
Barb proved to be incredibly supportive, caring, persistent, and knowledgeable in helping us find and purchase our new home. She was with us every step of the way, gently but effectively guiding us through the complexities of the home-buying process. She was always available to hear our concerns, answer our questions, and provide solid, practical advice without ever being pushy or impatient. Barb was a pleasure to work with and consistently impressed us with her competence and professionalism. Five stars are hardly enough to express our satisfaction!
Barbara deserves more than a 5 star rating. She went above and beyond with helping to sell our previous house and with the purchase of our new home. Barbara is extremely knowledgeable with all the details involved with buying and selling and always looks out for her clients best interest.
Barbara is a knowledgeable real estate pro who worked with me through every step of the selling process. If you are looking for someone to be on top of everything and then some, I suggest you give Barbara Bodnar a call.
Barbara is a knowledgeable agent from start to finish We were kept updated throughout the whole sales process. Our best interest was always kept in mind
Barbara evaluated and listed our condo and within one day we had substantial activity. Barbaras knowledge of the business, the community and geographic area made the process carefree.
Barbara has been our agent for almost three years but it feels like we have known her a lifetime. Barbs extensive knowledge experience and professionalism has landed us two great homes that we love! She has patience and great communication skills. She made us feel as if we were her only clients and like family. If we could give six stars we would!
My wife and I have worked on several real estate transactions with Barbara and the reason we have always used her is we have found her to be absolutely wonderful to work with. She is experienced, extremely helpful, thorough, and professional. She is the best and we highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed 2022
Barbara was recommended to me by more than one person. She got the ball rolling quickly and began setting up showings. Then the pandemic hit. Barbara found creative ways to market the apartment and kept in touch on a regular basis. Barbara's knowledge of the market and of the cooperative was key in finding the right buyer when things opened up again.
Barbara ensured the all parties in the transaction knew what was going on at all times and kept the process moving along as quickly as possible. She has a good relationship with the co-op board and many local attorneys, which was helpful.
I would highly recommend Barb to anyone who wants to work with an efficient, knowledgeable and professional Realtor. 2021
Working with Barbara Bodnar has been a pleasurable experience. She is knowledgeable, honest, extremely professional and handles everything consistently with the highest level of integrity. Barbara is punctual, positive, approachable, and always makes us feel as if we are her only client. She manages to do this while handling all her other clients which is a gift and a talent worth mentioning in this industry. Barbara has a strong understanding of the real estate market which helped tremendously as we prepared to list our property on the market. Throughout the process, she shared view stats to help understand how our listing was performing on the MLS as well as sent immediate follow ups after every showing with comments from the agents that showed the property and always made herself available for discussions around possible actions we should take to get the right offer. Barbara was a true partner throughout the entire process, and we are certain that we will work with her again in the future.
Buying or selling real estate can be a nerve-wracking experience. A great Realtor makes all the difference. I retained Barbara Bodnar to represent me in the sale of my Co-op apartment in Peekskill. Barbara brought her extensive experience and knowledge to the table and helped me price the apartment, get it prepared for photography, and get it listed. Her attention to details and no-nonsense approach made this process efficient and painless. Her marketing expertise and knowledge of market conditions and what to do next made the process simple and straightforward. There were several other units in my building on the market at the same time, and Barbara assisted in making my unit stand out from the others. We had solid interest in the apartment once it was listed, and one of those early interests became my buyer. Once we had a potential buyer, Barbara worked in close cooperation with the buyer's agent and my attorney assisting in getting the contract delivered, staying on top things throughout the complicated process of getting Board approval for my buyer. She continued that attention to detail as we went into closing. I could not have found a more engaged, knowledgeable, and helpful Realtor to sell my home. If you are looking for a Realtor who knows her market, works well with everyone involved in the sale/purchase, and is always on top of the small details to move the sale/purchase along smoothly, Barbara Bodnar is the person to call. I am thrilled that I brought in Barbara to help me sell my apartment.
My wife and I worked with Barbara to purchase homes for our sons and really cant say enough good things about her. She established a trustworthy working relationship with us and our sons who were both purchasing their first home. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time. She is thorough in her research, the advice was good and always relevant. She answered every question asked and kept us informed in every part of the process. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Barbara made it as painless and straightforward as possible. We I would definitely recommend Barbara as she was also always polite, courteous and took the time to understand and fulfill our needs. 2019
Barbara came highly recommended to us from a reputable source. This was our first experience with selling a home. Barbara made us feel at ease and that we were in good hands. She is knowledgeable and her priorities were in excellent order. We could also tell that she was ethical and so we trusted her advice. Barbara is a professional realtor who is genuine and was a great comfort at an uncertain time. We were so glad to see her at our closing because of the trusting relationship we had established and would certainly work with her again. 2019
Barb represented us recently in the purchase of a home. She had also represented us 10 years ago in the purchase of a condo and is currently representing us in the sale of that same condo. She is a consummate professional who really knows the real estate industry. She is a steady hand, a reassuring presence who also takes the time to teach. Most importantly though, she has her client's back. Case in point, during the recent closing for our home purchase, Barb caught an omission that would have resulted in us losing a valuable American Home Shield warranty promised to us by the seller. Due to Barb's attention to detail and due diligence, she literally saved our warranty. Well done! Barb has proven herself again and again to be the professional you want on your team. Therefore, my wife and I wholeheartedly recommend her. 2019
I have worked with Barb three times now. She helped me purchase my first home, and then when it was time, sell that home and purchase my second home. Barb is incredibly knowledgeable and was always willing to spend time to talk out any questions I had. Barb always responds quickly and just generally makes the process go smoothly. I would definitely work with her again and have recommended her to several friends! 2019

Working with her is, at all times, comfortable in that one knows they have a professional who has extraordinary market knowledge, who is willing to share her knowledge to the benefit of her client. There is a strong comfort level in working with Barbara and her expertise. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone in need of buying or selling a home. 2017
I am responding as president of a condominium board. The condominium took over a unit in a foreclosure action four years ago. Barbara Bodner handled two leasing actions for this unit before the condominium chose to sell at which time, the condominium elected to work with Barbara. I also know Barbara from some municipal activities thus my advising the condominium to use her expertise was a simple action. Barbara is extremely professional and helpful. Her knowledge of the processes and municipal codes is extremely helpful. At all times Barbara was available and willing to guide us in both leasing and then a selling process. We would have no hesitation in using her again or in recommending her to someone else. 2017
Barb helped me and my husband navigate thru the short sale process. As first time home buyers, Barb was there every step of the way to help and explain and answer any question we had. After working with her for months and closing on our short sale, we highly recommend her! 2016
