Hi! I’m Barb Allen.

Solid Source REALTOR ®

As a homeowner, I know it’s tough having a home that’s simply not a good fit. After a divorce, I down-sized to a smaller home in an area closer to my family. I was overwhelmed by the prospect of selling and moving. Boy am I glad it took the leap. It freed up time and money so I could focus on family, career, and travel.

As a realtor, I help clients with growing families find larger homes in areas with great schools, empty-nesters who are looking to streamline their lifestyle, and anyone facing the big changes life brings.

When it’s time to sell, a yard sign alone won’t cut it.

As a realtor with deep knowledge of the Reno area real estate market, I have up-to-the-minute data on what's happening in your neighborhood. I will guide you through the home selling process, keep the lines of communication open, and handle all the paperwork along the way.

If there are any unexpected problems — and there probably will be — I have a network of professionals at the ready to iron them out. I’m here to advise, create solutions, and alleviate your worries throughout the process.

Here’s how we’ll get your home sold.

Your home is often your most valuable asset. When it comes time to sell, sleep well knowing you’ve enlisted an agent who has lived and worked in the local market. Below is a glimpse into how we can work together to list and sell your house for the best price possible.

You and I are in this together. We’ll start by getting to know each other over coffee at a local spot or via Zoom. We’ll discuss your goals, timeline, and answer all your questions. And, you can get to know me so you’re comfortable moving forward.

NEGOTIATE WITH CONFIDENCE

When we receive offers for your home, I will negotiate with potential buyers and agents to ensure your interests are met and we will have a smooth transaction. With due diligence, I will help you reach your real estate goals.

You’ve got questions… I’ve got answers!

  • The Truckee Meadows has become an extremely popular place to live. Many people are moving to the area from places with a higher cost of living. They are looking to take advantage of our ample job opportunities, pleasant climate, and favorable income tax laws. And, growing families are always eager upgrade to bigger homes in better neighborhoods while empty-nesters are looking to down-size.

  • Hiring a Seller’s agent will save you time and net you a higher price for your home. Do you have time to head home every time someone wants to view your home? As an agent, I will know exactly who is entering your home and for how long they are there. I have access to a large network of Buyer’s agents to open conversations about potential Buyers.

    It can be tempting to react to a disingenuous low offer or make an emotional decision. I know how to handle these inevitable situations. I know how to recognize offers that are too good to be true. Leave the headaches to me and let's get your house sold.

  • Escrow is the 'in between' time; you have accepted an offer for your home and we are waiting to close and hand you a check. This generally takes 4-6 weeks. During this time the title company is verifying the Buyer has proper financing and inspections may take place. It can take a little time, but it's a very important process.

  • A contingent offer is an offer made on a property, which states specific conditions must be met before the sale can go through. A common contingency is a buyer asking for a finite timeline to sell their home in order to finance the purchase of your home. This can be tricky territory. As your agent, I will help negotiate reasonable and clear contingencies that keep your best interests in mind.

“We found our dream home, but needed to sell the place we were in FAST. Barb had us ready in two short weeks. After a few days on the market, she brought us multiple offers. We were stressed we’d have two mortgages. Instead, Barb sold our old house lightning-fast and we never felt a financial pinch.” 🏠 Pete A.
