After interviewing 6 realtors from 6 different agencies we decided to go with Barbara and Maurice. I could tell they were the right realtors for several reasons. They were prompt and fast in getting back to me asap when I was trying to reach them. They were confident in their pricing based on their research, and they are professional in their presentation. Barbara did a fantastic job making my house look better than ever for the photoshoot. Our house sold in 3 days and we had a quick closing. I would highly recommend Barbara and Maurice whether you are selling or buying. Having both of them (as a team) means you get twice the care and assistance. "

"The Richardson Team has been a breath of fresh air! We are so thankful that we found Barbara. We now bought and sold our home with them. They are very efficient and do exactly what they say they are going to do for you, including anything you ask them to help you with, plus things we never would have thought to ask them for help with. They went above and beyond our highest expectations. We have worked with many realtors over the years and no one comes close to them. With their resources and expertise they helped to sell our house in what would be considered a very short time. They made the process so stress free and calm which is such a gift. Thank you :) !!!!

"Maurice and Barbara are an outstanding real estate team. They did a thorough research of comparable homes in our area and developed a great marketing plan for our home. They took time to understand our needs and wishes. They made suggestions to help us show the home, helped us find a home to move into and provided us support every step of the way. They took time to listen to all our concerns and answer our questions. These two are real professionals at what they do. It is one thing to sell real estate and another to build bonds and share successes with those you work with. These are very special people who made us feel like friends or family not just customers. They are a great asset to the company of Coldwell Banker "

"Our experience with "The Richardson Team" was amazing! We decided on them after our interview based on their level of experience, professionalism and the amount of activity they had in our area. They eased our apprehension and stress level in moving forward with this process. They explained everything in detail and said they'd be with us with any questions or concerns throughout the entire process. They made it a satisfying experience for us. Their due diligence in selling our home was great through advertising, social media and open houses. They accomplished the goal! Our best interest was what they focused on. They were a pleasure to work with and I could call them anytime with any problems or concerns I had. We were well pleased with the way everything was handled and level of service received. "The Richardson Team" was a great choice for us. Thanks for everything! "

Barbara was an outstanding realtor for us. We were considering a move to Florida from Maryland and had a short 3 day visit planned. Barbara and I spoke at length before our trip, and she listened...really listened...to what we were looking for. We wanted a newer home (preferably brand new) in a community with social activities. We wanted easy access to the beach, especially one where we could bring our dog, and near a marina where we could store our boat. Not a minute of our time was wasted. Every property fit the description of what we were looking for. When we needed an extra day to make a final decision between two properties, Barbara was there with us (even on a Sunday!) We are currently building a house in a new community and are thrilled with the choice we made. Along the way, Barbara pointed our various locations that we might enjoy once we moved here...Brohard Paw Park, Casey Key, Fins Restaurant, Nokomis Beach, the Legacy Trail. She also gave me recommendations for a veterinarian, nail salon, and hair stylist. Barbara followed up with us after we made our commitment to a property to make sure all was moving along. Throughout the process, Barbara was available and extremely responsive to all our questions and concerns. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking to relocate in the Venice area. - Jan R.

We had a very positive experience with our home search in the Nokomis, Florida area. We wanted our dream retirement home, and we needed a realtor who understood our agenda, and who was willing to help us look at homes, keeping our desired criteria and unique requirements in mind. Barbara Burton Richardson exceeded our expectations. Not only did she meet with me and give an extensive and thorough overview and tour of the Venice/ Nokomis/ Osprey area, she showed many homes that might have met our needs and honestly helped us to filter through them. This process took many months, but she was so patient with us to help us find just the right home! She called, sent us emails, texts, FaceTimed a showing, and communicated with us all while still in Massachusetts. Barbara was quick to reply to all our questions and supported us as buyers agent beyond our expectations. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and thorough. Once we found our home from afar, she worked with us to complete the purchase process and seal the deal. Also, Barbara personally resolved a problem discovered at the time of final walkthrough that the other listing agency promised to fix, but disappointedly failed to. Having to return to Massachusetts again after closing, it was a huge help that she and her husband handled the matter for us. Unfamiliar with this area, Barbara also helped us with many tips and advice on living in this beautiful county in FL. Not only was she our realtor, but she became our first friend in the area! I can't wait to make the move. Thank you, Barbara! - Janice I

Barbara did an excellent job! She very helpful in sending us listings prior to selling our house up north. Once we sold our house and came down to buy a house, she very knowledgeable of the market and had listened to what we were looking for! I highly recommend Barbara to anyone moving to Venice and the surrounding areas. - Barbara M

Barbara was so fun to have as a realtor. We looked at several homes and she was always very pleasant and very patient. We would recommend her in a heartbeat! You're the "best" Barb! Thank you for making it a pleasant experience. -Christopher & Elizabeth S

Excellent Service from Barbara at all times she far exceeded my needs in a Realtor. Barbara went the extra mile many times through my selling and buying process. Thank you again for all the help you and Maurice provided I will always recommend this team any chance I get! - Sandra S

My wife Kathy and I truly enjoyed working with Barbara in our search for a new home. She was so very helpful and provided us with useful information and advice. Barbara was always available to answer our questions and took time to make us feel comfortable. We both had a good time in this past home search and Barbara was an important reason for our positive experience. We found our new home and are enjoying the Florida life. Barbara is highly recommended and if you want someone who will look out for your interests - Barbara B. Richardson is the realtor you should select. Steven M

Barbara Burton Richardson of the Coldwell Banker Richardson Team was absolutely exceptional. She went above and beyond as our purchasing agent. We had an unusual situation where we were performing our search and working on the purchase agreement 1000 miles away. Having Barbara "on our team" was like having an extra set of eyes and ears on the ground locally while we were in NH. We never could have found the perfect Venice winter home without her. She went our of her way to ensure that we didn't have to worry about the details while peforming our search/purchase.
