Barbara Blades

Barbara is truly a seasoned veteran in the real estate business. She was recommended to us by a friend in 2010 and we ha ve worked with her multiple times since. She knows the industry like the back of her hand, is a hard worker, fully invested in her clients, and goes above and beyond. Barbara helped clean and stage our house, she helped us find respectable professionals to address buyer requests, and she is relational with her clients. I cannot say enough good things! She is a pleasure to work with and wish we could be working with someone of her caliber as we move out of state. It has been nothing, but a pleasure to work with her and I have recommended her to multiple friends. Barbara is a credit to her profession and I am grateful we had the opportunity to meet her and work with her. ... Read more

We were lucky to have Barbara Blades list our home. She has so much knowledge of the area and was able to predict exactl y how and when our house would sell. Barbara was recommended to us from a neighbor and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. From listing to close, Barbara Blades made the process seem easy, she was always quick to respond and always had an answer. I've bought several houses in the past 10 years and there was always a hiccup some where in the process, that was not our experience with Barbara Blades. If you're selling or buying a home in Maryland, you're lucky to get Barbara Blades. ... Read more

Barbara is an amazing agent, and she made the entire process profitable and painless. The detail/effort she gave is abov e and beyond what other relators do. Barb has helped us with the sale/purchase of multiple homes and we could not have done it without her expertise. We always believed Barb put our interests and needs first, and her integrity is beyond question. If you want the best agent, Barbara Blades is the relator you should choose! Barb paid attention to details and was available whenever we needed her. She is trustworthy and professional in all our interactions. We knew Barb was steering us in the right directions and had no stress in the sale of our home. Barb came to our home on several occasions (years before we put the house on the market,) to help us know when to put our house on the market and how to improve our house to get the best sale price. Barb's knowledge of the market helped us to ascertain the best offer. We heard of other agents from other agencies driving up prices just to get the highest price possible for a sale. The result was that many deals fell through because the houses did not appraise for the sale price and owners lost out on sales. Barb explained all of this to us and helped us navigate the best and most realistic offer. Subsequently, our house went to closing and we were very satisfied with the entire process and the price we received for our home. ... Read more

Barbara was amazing and looked at every detail for what we needed. I would recommend her highly. She was always one ste p ahead of us, and for the better. We would work with her again. Barbara has been doing this a while and it shows, She is an expert, she is professional, and she is personable. What a great experience we had. We used all local lenders, inspectors and contractors, and everyone was so incredible to work with. There were many aspects we could fill out online, very important for my wife and I who both work full time. Everything was clearly explained and was presented with care and professionalism. ...

I was selling from out of state, so Barbara Blades had no easy task ahead of her. She worked tirelessly to make recomme ndations and get the house ready to list. Upon listing she had a whirlwind of showings, getting a solid offer within 28 hours. We went under contract the following day. She continued to work through coordinating the inspection, appraisal, and repairs to the home after the home inspection, even coordinating regular lawn care. Barbara maintained a good line of communication with me, filling me in on any updates. I have already recommended her to others thinking of listing. ... Read more

See comments above. I will add this. I'm 63, lived all over the country. She is the best agent we've ever known. She's b ecome a friend. She even turned us on to our current financial advisor. She has a team behind her including her husband. I can't say enough good things about her and her team. She needs to own her own firm and relpicate her approach as a " full service house prep and sell." ... Read more

We had met Barbara Blades (and her husband Bob) through social settings many years ago, and had become friends. Barbara is a caring, knowledgeable Realtor that is not afraid to tell you when your expectations are not realistic, share her insights and experience, and generally steer you towards success. She helped us buy our house several years ago, and then sell it when we were able to move the family back to Florida. We love Barbara, and can't recommend her highly enough. She is head-and-shoulders above the other realtors in Southern Maryland. ... Read more

I couldn't recommend Barbara more highly. She had a very friendly, positive attitude and always encouraging. Our house was not in the best condition and was an extremely difficult sell, but Barbara worked tirelessly to find an avenue for us to sell it. Even when the prospects seemed hopeless, she remained hopeful. Barbara assured us that we would find a buyer and stuck with us until she did. I am so grateful for all of the time and effort she invested in us, and I would choose her as my realtor for any future transaction. ... Read more

Kara and Chavis Briscoe. California Md

The though of buying a house was so overwhelming at first. My wife and I set up a meeting with Nancy Immel, just to get the mindset of what to expect. She took time out of her busy day to help us understand the process and what is involved. Nancy was approachable, understanding, and compassionate. That was the deciding factor why we chose Century 21, the whole staff was professional and friendly. We looked and who knows how many houses, Nancy was always so positive and helpful. She knew exactly what to look for as soon as we walked in each house. Even when we were bogged down and started to get discouraged, that we might never find the house. She was able to lift our spirits, with her optimism. When we finally did find that one house, that was the one. Nancy spent so much time answering questions and explaining statements nine hundred different ways till we understood. She wanted us to make informed decisions when it came to purchasing a house. Nancy was nothing short of an amazing realtor, she is responsible for our outstanding experience we had buying a house. Why I would recommend Century 21 Barbra blades team, they are the perfect blend of friendly and professionalism. They are compassionate and fearless, all rolled into one team. ... Read more

I wanted, and believe I received, an honest and accurate appraisal of my home. Didn't want, nor need, an inflated, opti mistic assessment that was only going to result in a later price reduction after a lengthy time on the market. Offered bonus for quick sale and received full price offer after less than two days on the market. Outstanding in every regard. Barbara and her team (especially Carlene) were on top of everything and went the extra mile to ensure this cross-country sale went smoothly. The BEST!!! ... Read more
