Josh Barker - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Redding, California

Extremely unprofessional, pushy. If this is how they do business in Redding I don't know that I want to live there!!!

For those that have bought and sold homes for other than merely profit or business you are quick to realize the unfortunate similarities of the real estate process and the all too common bleh experience of sitting down at a car dealership, with numbers of course being a good bit higher. Some of the pros of Remax: Larger company better marketing(at a cost $$) In touch with housing market and current trends Cons: Higher cost is not matched with better quality of service in all aspects. After the initial sit down analysis with Josh you are quickly handed off and a disconnect of buyer/seller and realtor is developed. With multiple people involved, things discussed with one, where often not conveyed to another(right hand not talking to left situation) In the end, left with the, "Just give me my commission" feeling. All in all, if you are looking for wham bam thank you ma'am experience, this is you place. If you are an actual "home" buyer and have the time, go with the smaller companies, it's more pleasurable in the long run. read more

Kristen Ross is the best real estate agent I've worked with. I was a real estate myself and she has gone above and beyond any agent who worked with me or that I've ever dealt with. I started working with her in September of 2021 thinking I would be moving to Redding in January 2022. She made time for me even when she was booked. She would see me after her appointments. She blocked out chunks of time to show me places and even took me back to the house I really liked 5 times without having an attitude about it, because I can be a little annoying. Then it turned out I couldn't move when I thought and she sent me all the new listings and would call me or text me periodically to see how I was doing. Finally, when I knew for sure I was ready to buy I told her I was coming to Redding to find a house to buy. I let her know the homes I wanted to see and she told me about one I hadn't seen. After taking me to a few homes, she took me to the one she told me about and that was it! That was the one I said! We went back to it a couple times and I told her I wanted to buy it. I had to go back to LA, but she negotiated some things for me which I am very happy about. There were some things that I needed to follow up on, but Kristen would text me and say I followed up on this and I will keep following up until it gets done. She has done this numerous times without my having to ask. If I have any issues speaking with the company I'm buying my house from, she calls them immediately to take care of it. I told her I really needed to know the measurements in my new house so I could plan to see what furniture I will keep and what I won't, and the owner wouldn't give me the blue prints so she measured it for me, and saved me a trip up there (8 hours). I couldn't believe she offered to do that for me. I am in escrow and she always checks on me to see how I'm doing because I get very anxious. She also knows I am a very, very picky person and she is picky too and if she sees something wrong or thinks something could be better, she handles that too, but without my asking. She knows me so well by just paying attention to me and I can't even begin to explain how amazing that is. She is very professional yet at the same time, she is very and personable. She not only helped me purchase my new home, but she has been a pleasure to interact with through this entire process. She is trustworthy and patient. She is a very good person all around, and I really like her and am so thankful for her help. I couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent. I would recommend her to anyone and I've already told everyone I know that she is a truly amazing real estate agent and they should her if they need to buy or sell. I give her my highest recommendation. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their agent. She will be my real estate agent for life! read more

Ryan Green at Josh Barker was amazing. I was moving here, but didn't know the area. Ryan showed me the neighborhoods, gave great advice, was super responsive and helpful, and was a great guy to help me with the entire process. Call Ryan Green - you can't do any better. read more

Josh Barker and his team are the very best at what they do. If you are looking for someone who is highly professional and competent Tham look I further than Josh and his organization. read more

Our realtor Chase was a very nice guy but by no means was he a hustler or a go getter. When you hire a realtor to sell your home you expect somone who is going to get the job done, and make the whole (very stressful) process as smooth as possible. This wasn't the case for my husband and I. We were let down and had an all around bad experience with Remax. Don't recommend using this company if you're trying to sell your home. read more

Josh and his team are amazing! If you are looking to sell your home, look no further. His knowledge of the real estate market is unparalleled and his negotiating skills are top notch. Josh is a no brainer when looking to get top dollar for your home! read more

Have you ever left anything up to fate? Like a blind date or randomly dialing ten digits to see who is on the other end of the line in hopes maybe they are your soulmate? In a way, that is how we found Josh Barker and his team. My wife and I were in the market for a new home, and we saw a house on Zillow and called the number associated with it. After our time meeting Eric Ivaniski, a realtor on Josh's team, it was like a match made in heaven. While my wife and I were serious about relocating, were not in a rush. Eric was super patient, endured our kids, and let us develop our own game plan as we house hunted. We are super thankful for Eric's knowledge, ease, and professionalism. We never felt pressure from Eric that we were not purchasing a home right away; he wanted to make sure we were happy. And, eventually, we found the right home, and we could not be more thrilled with the service we received. For the wrestling fans out there, Eric and Josh are best tag-team partners in real estate. Once the sale was made, Eric high-fived Josh, and it was game on to sell our home. I don't know if there is anyone more professional, appropriately confident, and skilled at selling homes. Within three days of being on the market, we had an offer, and within ten days, our home was sold! On our new home, we had a contingency offer, and Josh knew that springboarding into action. He went to work, if not war, to make sure we got what we needed to make the purchase and sale go smooth! Without a doubt, the next time we move in town, or sell, Josh and Eric are who we are reaching out to. While Josh and Eric are the star quarterback and wide receiver, the office is the strength and conditioning coach. Their office is a well-oiled machine. We never hit snags or got hung up talking with those at headquarters. While I am writing the least about those who are bunkered in the foxholes and trenches, they are one's supporting Josh and Eric and making things happen! I cannot express enough about how well we were treated by Josh, Eric, and the staff at Josh Barker Real Estate Advisors. read more

Worked with Eric Ivanitsky, the man was stellar, knew what he was talking about, and worked around my busy work schedule to tour some houses. Most of all, he was patient during showings, even though our 2 yr old was running around all over the place. Eric was always available to answer any questions by phone or text. Our 1st lender fell through because of a bad mark on my credit report, and this was when we were already in contract with the sellers of the house. After being an emotional wreck, we decided to call it quits, cancel the contract, and try again in the future. Well....instead of giving up on us, Eric called around and found a lender (Cindy Tomlinson - US lending, also phenomenal!) that would work with us and get past the credit debacle. If it were not for him, we wouldn't have closed on our house on Feb 8th. Thanks Eric! read more

Alex Meyer was a fantastic person to work with when we went through the process of purchasing a home. He is honest, attentive, and friendly. He is very knowledgeable about real estate and homes, which made us very comfortable through the process. Alex listened to what our family needs were, helped us find our perfect home within just a few days, and made sure that we were in our new home quickly. read more

Mr. Barker had my home listed for 5 months. In that time he had 1 open house, talked to me 0 times on the phone, until I called his office and told them I refused to speak with the office staff and demanded to talk with Josh. Then we only had a couple of conversations, one of them a terrible offer, where he informed me, if I would take a really low amount he could assure me a buyer (was he going to flip it?). Anyway, his follow through is terrible. He yelled at me on the phone and was very rude. The worst real estate agent I have ever worked with. My home in Redding sold in two weeks AFTER I gave it to another agent: Kori Cadorin of Venture Properties. As far as I can tell he is all smoke and mirrors. Great office, wonderful come on, lots of promises. And I'm not sure that he was concerned about my house selling at all. His first listing was for $275,000. He then told me I could definitely sell it at $230,000. It sold for $255,000 in two weeks with Kori. read more

We used Josh Barker to sell our Redding home while we lived out of the area. We mostly spoke with Laurie and Krisanna during our home selling process. (Both are some amazing and helpful) This office went above and beyond in every aspect. Our house was listed and sold within 60 days, and since we were living out of the area they coordinated all needed repairs and let contractors in and out for us. I was very stressed when we started thinking about selling the house, and I can honestly say the best decision we ever made was calling this office. They took the stress out of the experience, and even made it fun. I would highly recommend to anybody looking to buy or sell. read more

We had a negative experience with this realty. Here are the issues we had: (1) it took nearly 10 days for them to get our house on the market, (2) Their solution for our house not selling was to continually have us reduce our asking price, (3) We had to tell them to solicit offers from clients they showed our home to, (4) They let us down twice on sales that fell apart (they delayed in informing us both times), (5) We never saw our home featured in any of their advertising publications, (6) They are so big and successful that they seemed to be using a "cookie cutter" approach rather than an personal touch, (7) The buyer opted out of our last sale after some negative feedback from the home inspection, and our agent just let the buyer walk--without explaining to the buyer that the issues were easily correctable. read more

As a new home buyer, the process can be very overwhelming. We couldn't have had a better Real Estate office then Josh Barker. More importantly, our Agent Ryan Green! Ryan walked us through the process step-by-step with confidence, ease, and a big smile. He made this entire transaction extremely smooth and calmed our nerves. Thank you Ryan Green from the bottom of our hearts for all that you have done for our family and making our home buying process an amazing experience. read more

Just like used car salesmen, i felt alot of empty price quotes, empty promises. Once contract signed by Josh your transferred to unknowledgeable office staff. They do not produce the knowledge/skills for competive edge for negotiations, offering their clients poor advice, often wrong advice. At times i felt they were actually representing the other side. Buyer vs. Seller. The original price quoted was soon pressured to be dropped once contract signed. His numbers are skewed. Example being: he sends out reviews To people he knows will praise him, and not offer it to the ones who will not. Out for commission is the bottom line without regards to buyer/seller. Would not recommend. read more

We had the best experience buying our first house with Ben Sprague as our agent! Ben was knowledgeable, hard-working, personable, and honestly made buying a home fun! He took the time to understand our needs/wants and gave us the space to make our own decisions while always being there to answer our questions and work around my husband's busy schedule. When a few issues came up, Ben was upfront and promptly took care of them. We found our house within two weeks and closed right on schedule! Ben went above and beyond for us, even checking in after we had moved in to make sure everything was going well. It really felt like we had a great friend/real estate expert who advocated for our interests every step of the way and cared about us finding the right home. We loved working with Ben and can't recommend him and the Josh Barker team enough! read more

My husband and I met Ben Sprague who is an agent at Josh Barker's office at an Open House that he was hosting back in June of this year. We were looking to move to a larger home and out of all of the agents we had met at the various open houses we viewed, Ben was the only agent who followed up with us and offered his assistance in our home buying process. Ben is a personable gentleman who listens and truly cares about the home buyer/seller. We "connected" with him immediately and felt at ease through the entire process. Then in the middle of our escrow my in-laws had to sell their home in the bay area due to health issues. Ben took it upon himself to find us an excellent agent in the bay to sell their home. At a time that could and usually is stress full, especially with the home in bay needing to sell, Ben took his time with us and walked us every step of the way. We are so pleased with Ben's service and would recommend him to anyone needing a trustworthy, thorough and caring agent. read more

I recommend them to my Aunt she met with Josh, signed a contract, had professional pictures done of her house, and it listed in 3 days and open house that weekend. They get stuff done! Highly recommend Josh Barker Office for your real estate needs. read more

Teresa was extremely helpful in working with me to purchase my first home! She was very informative and patient with me. I had a lot of questions, and she walked me through each step of the way. Many first-time homebuyers frequently speak of "buyers remorse", but I felt well-informed and educated about the process, as well as being adequately informed about the house status (via inspections). As such, I did not have any doubt or remorse about the purchase. I would be more than happy to utilize her services again, and to boldly recommend her to others. read more

Josh was pretty cool to work with. He helped with all of our questions and made things a lot easier. I am surprised that he does the kind of marketing he does. I expect it in the Bay Area but he does all of it and a lot more. read more

Erick Kloth was incredibly kind and responsive to all my inquiries. He kept me from making an offer that was not in my best interest. My well being was above him making money. Eric is my forever realtor. read more

It was time to sell our well-maintained Manufactured home on 3 acres in Cottonwood. Josh Barker and his office staff are the best and most professional at what they do! We had never sold a home before so we didn't know what to expect. Josh and his team kept us informed all the way through the selling process. We had several offers which eventually led the sale of the home and getting most of our asking price. The entire experience was smooth and we felt confident that Josh and his team had our best interest in mind. We highly recommend Josh Barker Real Estate Advisors/Remax Town and Country to sell your home and property! read more

After considering a handful of real estate teams in Redding, we chose the Josh Barker Real Estate team. They educated and included us on all details as we transitioned through our first escrow.

From our first meeting with Josh, he was well prepared to discuss the value of our home and made a few simple recommendations to improve the marketability of the home. After these were completed, the home took just about two weeks to go into contract during a typically slow time of the selling season. The marketing used a variety of technology to enhance the opportunities and the entire team maintained contact on a weekly basis. read more

Josh Barker was recommended to us by friends and we were more than satisfied with how Josh and his staff handled the sale of my wife's house. Josh was very thorough in his initial walkthrough, giving us a list of all the things we needed to do to get maximum value for the house. He also suggested that we NOT do some things that might make the house sell faster but not add any value to the house. The house has solar panels, which meant that any buyer would have to assume the solar contract and Josh is very experienced in getting buyers to assume the solar contracts. Our house sold in less than 8 weeks and we got a very fair price. The whole process went through without a hitch and we are quite pleased with Josh Barker and his staff. read more

Chase made our first home buying experience so enjoyable! He walked us through what we thought was an intimidating process, was very prepared and had done his research on every house we visited.

My 98 year old grandma needed to sell her house after she took a bad fall. Josh helped my family thru the process of selling her house and moving her belongings. His staff communicated every step of the way (some would say it was over communication) to ensure our experience was a pleasant one. We appreciated his professionalism, his expertise and above all his integrity. Highly recommend Josh Barker and his staff for any home selling or buying opportunity you may have !!!! read more

Our home buyer's agent was Mr. Ryan Green from this brokerage. We see that another reviewer thinks Mr. Green is the best, but that was FAR from our (sellers) experience. Very impressive unprofessional, lackadaisical style regarding our dealings. Some of the memorable, pointledly unsatisfactory performace on the part of Mr. Green includes: Put us (seller) out of contract twice because he did not get paperwork done in a timely manner. Several promises to provide our agent with crucial updated paperwork "today" went unfulfilled until 2-4 days later. Did not forward requested inspection reports done by seller to his client when initially provided by seller. When cornered about delayed paperwork, often blamed brokerage staff, never taking even a small bit of ownership regarding the situation. Little to no communication with seller's agent as stages of the sale proceeded. Title company did not receive updated closing date paperwork signed a week prior to seller's signing and had to directly request it from Josh's office at that time. The crowning glory was the gall to ask if the buyers could move in prior to closing even after already being told no, buyer's request to bring some of their possesions to the property (a month ago) is denied. He apparently failed to get a clue. There's more, but this provides sufficient flavor of his unprofessional way of doing business. We regret Mr. Green will receive our money as a commission for unethical behavior and a sale he certainly didn't work very hard to facilitate. Mr. Barker might want to reconsider having someone around that so unfavorably represented his brokerage. read more
