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 did a fantastic job selling our house. Her knowledge of the area is unsurpassed. She communicated well with us and the buyers. She was there to help at every turn. We were away a lot of the time and she coordinated inspections and met people at the house when we could not.

We were very grateful to work with Barbara and Arnie on the sale of our Candlewood Lake home. Their deep knowledge of the area and the market made it possible for us to find the right buyer for this unique lakeside compound. Barbara and Arnie did a beautiful job of staging and showing the property, and they were warm and personable collaborators throughout the process. Thanks to them, we sold the property quickly and were very happy with our results.

Barbara and Arnie are the best team of Brokers on Candlewood Lake. We used them to purchase a vacation home 12 years ago and they helped us find the perfect spot on the lake. Post Covid we decided to move to CT full time. We definitely knew to call Barbara and Arnie to start the search for a larger home. Without much inventory on the lake, they still found us the perfect spot. They knew exactly what we were looking for even before we did! They are very caring people and helped us each step of the way from negotiating improvements on the sale to giving us information on service providers. We couldn't be happier!!!

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!

We were fortunate to find Barbara Sivba many years ago when we were looking to buy a vacation home on Candlewood Lake. When we decided to move to CT full time, we needed something larger and know exactly who to call to help us put our home on the market. Barbara and her husband Arnie worked their magic to get our home ready to sell. They did some staging, took amazing photos and even blew leaves off the front porch. With their expertise, we had a buyer the first week of the listing! We couldn't be happier with our decision to use the best team of brokers on the lake.

Barbara is a very experienced and knowledgeable agent and with her husband make a great team. We chose her based on her positive reputation with Candlewood Lake properties. She was well versed in all aspects of the sale of our home and guided us thru the entire process. She was also able to sell our home in short order. We would like to thank Barbara and Arnie for all their efforts and diligence toward that end.

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.
