"Thanks to Barbara, my husband and I (and our infant daughter at the time) were able to find our perfect home and relocate to Tampa. Barbara worked around our schedule to house-hunt and was professional and personable and she refined our search to exactly what we were looking for, which saved us a lot of time. She made the steps leading to our closing seamless, and has since provided us with several helpful resources for home improvement businesses in the area. I wholeheartedly recommend Barbara Jordan and her Coldwell Banker firm."

As a Florida native, growing up in Tampa with its multicultural roots, Barbara has watched Tampa grow from a small town to the bustling metropolis it is today. Her maternal grandparents immigrated from Santo De Stephano. Sicily at the turn of the century and quickly joined the growing immigrant community of Ybor City where the residents were of Spanish, Italian, Sicilian, and Cuban descent.
While the melding of those cultures gave Tampa its unique flavor, it continues today that beginning has expanded to include many other cultures that have joined the Tampa Bay mix.
Barbara became a realtor in 1986 after a career in retail with Federated stores. She has always had a love of people and houses. After a weekend of " just looking" at open houses, just for fun and trying to analyze which was the best buy, her husband suggested she get her real estate license. Because of her interest in and her love of working with people, she did just that.

Testimonials
"We sought advice from Barbara for several years regarding potential changes, upgrades, and improvements that we were considering making to our home and her advice was always spot on. When we finally decided to sell our home Barbara was the only choice to be our realtor. She skillfully managed to entire process from start to finish and sold our home in less than 2 days for a substantial amount above the asking price. We will use Barbara in any of our future real estate transactions and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a realtor."
by FRED & CHRISTINE H"As an agent, Barbara was able to guide us through the entire process of preparing to sell, what are the best features of our home to show, to a pre-inspection person to make sure there were no surprises, to the appraiser and photographer. Barbara notified us about every showing over a 3-day period, we were able to accept an offer in 3 days, she is organized and communicates very well, we can't thank her enough for her professionalism and honesty."
by MIKE & REBECCA S"Barbara was absolutely great, we used Barbara for both buying and selling, (I could only choose one), her knowledge and expertise in every area was extremely refreshing. She helped us sell our home within 3 days, and when buying she was always available. We found just what we were looking for in a market that is very sparse, you won't go wrong in any way with Barbara as your realtor. Thank You Barbara for everything, you are a blessing."
by MARGIE B."Barbara was knowledgeable and kept us up to date through out each phase of the negotiations. The only reason for stating that the sale price was below our expectations was due to the appraiser`s low submission. (Barbara had nothing to do with this portion of the transaction). She was wonderful throughout the process. We highly recommend Barbara Jordan."
by PAMELA & FELIPE"Barbara exceeded our expectations in every category. Professional, knowledgeable, always available, caring, and kind. There are lots of challenges with selling a home during these times, and we could not have done it without her. Highly Recommend."
