Working with Barbara Sivba, her husband Arnie and their team was a special experience. It had been a very difficult decision for me to sell my home of thirty one years.I was concerned about so many things. From our first meeting, I realized that Barbara excelled in that which she does. It became very apparent that she loves her work. Barbara is very knowledge about all aspects of the real estate market. She is highly qualified, professional and on target at all times.Through the use of staging and excellent photos many fine features of my house became evident. The house sold above asking. I highly recommend Barbara Silva to you.

My wife and I decided to relocate to CT from Long Island to be closer to our kids/grandkids. We worked closely with Barbara Sivba and her husband, Arnie. Barbara was extremely knowledgeable about the CT area we were focused on (Candlewood Lake aeea). Barbara took the time to answer all our questions (which were many!) and ultimately, found our forever home! We highly recommend Barbara and Arnie to anyone seeking knowledgeable, understanding, and most important, nice real estate professionals to help sell your existing home or, like my wife and I, find your next home!

Barbara and Arnie were always there and quite helpful in the negotiation process! As a result of her effort we received an offer that ultimately exceeded our expectations!! Our sale was incredible from start to finish! No home in our area has sold for as much because she knew what buyer’s agents to contact and worked with them tirelessly!????

Barbara and Arnie were wonderful during the process from the beginning to end. Their knowledge of the area, advice, years of experience and general approach made it super easy to trust them completely during a process that can be a very stressful one. It was a pleasure working with them. They made the process seamless! Thank you so much!

We sold a waterfront property in New Milford, CT using Barbara Sibva and her team. They presented a comprehensive analysis and marketing plan and priced the home accurately. They were instrumental in getting contractors to touch up and polish the fit and finish of the home prior to showing. Barbara is an expert at staging and she provided as needed, staging furniture and decor to fill in gaps. The photoshoot was professional expertly curated. Upon listing we had multiple offers above asking. Barbara said she would attend every showing and she did just that. Barbara smoothly navigated a complicated negotiation process among the buyer, the attorneys and buyers agents. This resulted in a smooth closing. From the decision to list, up to the closing day, the process was minimally stressful and took a mere 90 days! We could NOT have asked for a better agent. Barbara is a straight shooter, she tells you what to do to sell your house. Our recommendation is to DO WHATEVER SHE SAYS because she knows what she is doing and why. Barbara and her team get our highest recommendation!

Barbara is an outstanding realtor, she goes above and beyond what is expected of a typical realtor because this is in her DNA and she knows no other way to perform her job. She has an eye for staging and knows how to improve even the most established home. She makes herself available at all hours of the day and works tirelessly for her clients. Barbara has a wonderful personality and is very detailed oriented, the sale of our home was all due to her hard work.

Barbara and Arnold are more than just a realtors. During the process of selling the house, they create exceptional strong team that will take care of most of your needs. They can advise perfectly well on pricing and timing and have great intuition and understanding in those regards. They will meticulously plan each practical step such as decorating, renovating, cleaning, staging where necessary. And not just plan those steps but actually will practically help to arrange decorating, renovating, cleaning and to hire right people while doing that.We were away during all period of the selling of the house because we previously relocated to another state. Barbara and Arnold took care of all the logistics until the closing. Even closing we were able to do remote. They are hard working, reliable and amicable people that is a pleasure to deal with.
