"Rodna has managed my properties for several years and has done an outstanding job. Great customer service, always responsive to my inquiries, managed my repairs in the most economically way and most important kept my properties rented. She has been a joy to work with over the many years i have been with Barker."
Happy Owner - Nate P.
"My experience with Barker Realty was easy to rate at 5 stars. My property manager was friendly, professional, and great to work with.
My home was flawless upon moving in and the only issue I ran into (failed water heater) was fixed within a day by the Barker team. I would definitely recommend Barker to family and friends. The online payment portal is extremely intuitive and makes paying rent a breeze (you can even place a maintenance request with just a few clicks). Without a doubt a high class real estate company from a residential tenant's point of view."
- 5 Stars from Amir -
"We have used Barker Realty for the past two years and it has been a great experience. We live in another country, so we needed a property management company that was responsive to our tenants' needs as well as our own. Our property manager is a great communicator and has kept us well informed when issues did arise in our property. We were referred to the company by an old family friend and my parents who also have properties managed by Barker. We highly recommend their property management services."
