And So Can You
"I normally don't take the time to write a review, or provide feedback. Although this is an exception due to the performance that Joshua provided during my home search. He not only acted like a professional, but preformed like one as well."
"Josh is the best! He makes the home buying a breeze: coordinating inspections, offers, signing, etc., and being super responsive to all our requests. We've used him twice now and it's always been seamless. Highly recommend him as an agent!"
"Selling my family home of 15 years and finding a new place to begin my next chapter was one of the most emotional experiences of my life, and I couldn't have asked for a better realtor to guide me through it. Tracy approached every conversation with compassion, patience, and genuine understanding."
"Joshua and the team at Sidell & Barkes Real Estate were exceptional to work with when buying our home. We cannot thank him enough for making this process, dare I say, easy! Joshua is warm and professional and prioritizes you like family. Buying a home can be a daunting process. Josh breaks things down in a clear and concise way that made us feel like we knew exactly what step we were on and what would be coming next. Him and his team kept us well informed about steps of the process and let us know immediately if any action needed to be taken. Communication is key in this process and Josh was phenomenal at making sure we were up to date. He was flexible in his scheduling and always made time for any of our needs. Josh was there every step of the way. He is so knowledgeable about his business and he advocated above and beyond for us. We could not be more satisfied with our decision to work with Sidell & Barkes Real Estate, and we hope everyone gets the opportunity to do the same!"
"We have bought and sold about a dozen properties over many years. So we have worked with a lot of real estate people. Thus, we do have some experience and resultant perspective. No Realtor that we have experienced does as good a job as Joshua. His service is extraordinary. Joshua spares no effort to do whatever it takes to make a transaction happen."
"Tracy is an excellent realtor with outstanding customer service. She listens to your guidelines for the purchase of a home and advises to availability and the optimum area for you. I would recommend Tracy for anyone either experienced or looking for their first home. Tracy also has excellent referrals for financing and insurance. Truly a one-stop shop."
"As first-time homebuyers in a very competitive market, we needed the absolute best team to prepare and present a strong & winning offer. The home we purchased had multiple, above asking price, offers and was on the market for just a couple days. With the guidance, experience, and dedication of our agents, we were able to get our charming Bench cottage and close in two weeks. Very professional, willing to help and answer questions promptly, and were so responsive. They handled every aspect of the process with clockwork precision. We couldn't recommend them or the team any more for their incredible efforts to find us our 'first' dream home!"
"Joshua is the best! This is our second real estate transaction with him and we couldn't be happier. He is responsive, detailed, savvy with strategy and a great overall person. If you're looking for a rockstar realtor, you found him!"
"Tracy Sidell is simply the best! She truly cares about her clients and gets to know their essence so she can meet their needs. Her responsiveness is outstanding! She helped me get the house I love and was in high demand by promptly contacting the sellers agent and making it happen."
"Joshua exemplifies everything a Real Estate Agent should be. His transparent communication is rich with the wealth of expert knowledge was a breath of fresh air. After meeting our basic needs of truly listening to us, he worked harder and more diligently than any agent my wife and I had experienced before."
"Josh was absolutely phenomenal! To start, he provided me with in-depth market statistics and helped me understand current climate. Josh really set himself apart by going the extra mile to really understand me and my goals. Once we started shopping, he quickly found several great options to look at. We found the perfect gem, and Josh moved quickly and strategically going above and beyond to negotiate on my behalf. Josh made it easy and relatively stressless. His communication was absolutely top-notch and I cannot say enough about how wonderful he made the home-buying experience, for me. Thank you so much, Josh!"
"Joshua was wonderful to work with while we searched for our first home! He set up an initial meeting to go through the process and gather details from us about what we are looking for in a home. He also provided a lot of helpful documents for us to look through whenever we needed a reminder or more details on "what comes next" during the home-buying process. He was very organized, very responsive, and very encouraging through the ups and downs of buying our first home. We love our new home and are so impressed with the work Joshua did to help us along the way."
"Joshua has a keen sense of what it takes to make a deal happen. He overcomes obstacles with exceptionally creative solutions. Negotiating to make everybody get a 'win' from a transaction is a rare and special skill."
"There is no finer Real Estate Professional out there. If you are looking for an agent to represent you in one of the largest transactions you may ever engage in, look no further than Joshua Barkes. He represented us in the buying process during a very tight market where inventory was almost nil. His patience was extraordinary and he never wavered in his commitment to finding us a home. During negotiations we always knew Joshua had our back and would represent our offer with integrity and honesty which is so important in this extremely competitive market. Lastly, buying a home can be an emotional process. Joshua always remained even keeled, calm and incredibly patient. Simply put, he's a rockstar!"
"We found that Josh's abilities exceeded our expectations. He has the right balance of professionalism, knowledge and friendly communication that any home buyer or seller would appreciate. Josh is extremely efficient and thorough and excels in communication with his clients."
"Thanks for the great job you did as my agent for my home listing and sale. For your initial advice as to my selling, renting or AirBNB options, to the listing, staging and extra hand holding during repairs. I was very very glad to have you as the friend helping through it all."
"Joshua is an excellent contact/realtor. It took him less than a week to figure out what we were looking for and just about every house he showed us we put an offer on. The one we ended up with was the best of all."
"Working with Tracy has been an incredible experience. She has helped us through multiple real estate transactions, and each time we are reminded how fortunate we are to have her in our corner. Her knowledge of the market, intuition during negotiations, and meticulous attention to detail truly set her apart. She consistently anticipates things before they arise and makes what could be a stressful process feel seamless. Beyond being an outstanding agent, she is someone we trust deeply and genuinely enjoy working with. We wouldn't consider buying or selling a home without her."
"Thank you for being the very best agent on the planet! It has been such a pleasure working with Tracy. We feel so fortunate and happy with our new home! She made this a seamless process for us and look forward to working with her in the future."
"Tracy is very knowledgeable about the different neighborhoods of Boise and surrounding cities. She took the time to really get to know our needs and wants, and worked hard to help us find just the right home. She's as easy as a best friend to get along with and really listened to feedback, then took action."
"Tracy is as genuine a person as you will find. She really listens to your needs. I know many real estate agents, and Tracy is an agent that you would be lucky to have working for you. She is a great person and an even better agent who goes the extra mile for you!"
