Josh Barker and his entire team were a delight to work with. They were always all very quick to respond to my messages and answer my questions. Josh is very knowledgeable of the local real estate market--he helped to ensure that my house was appropriately priced, thus maximizing my sales profit to its fullest potential through an immediate bidding war.
After a 21 day all cash close, I am not in escrow on the purchase of my next home, also thanks to the help of Josh's team.

If you want an agent who will listen to your personal needs and work hard on your behalf to find the right home for you and your family or to sell your home, put Ryan's utmost work ethic and integrity to work for you. Ryan is a family man of integrity and a proven leader. Throughout the process our our transaction, Ryan responded promptly to all of my questions and concerns while providing valuable advice

I was browsing on Facebook and saw a house that interested me. I wasn't actively looking to sell my home or buy a new home. In order to look at the house I had to give them my information. When you give a reason as to why you are looking there is no option for casually looking. Immediately I started receiving calls and text messages from Taylor. I ignored the calls and texts because I was very busy with life and was not interested in purchasing. The calls and texts continued daily for over two weeks. I started to receive rude text messages from Taylor implying that I needed to reply back to them

Ryan Coughran is professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. Whenever new listings hit the market and fit our criteria, he would have them sent over immediately. He is prompt to show properties, and always has the information with him about the properties. Submitting an offer, and closing was so fast and easy. As soon as something changed in the pricing or stipulations, it was edited and resubmitted immediately. We never had to wait on him. We highly recommend Ryan. We are so thankful to have had him help us buy our first home!

My husband and I met Ben Sprague who is an agent at Josh Barker's office at an Open House that he was hosting back in June of this year. We were looking to move to a larger home and out of all of the agents we had met at the various open houses we viewed, Ben was the only agent who followed up with us and offered his assistance in our home buying process. Ben is a personable gentleman who listens and truly cares about the home buyer/seller. We "connected" with him immediately and felt at ease through the entire process.

Have you ever left anything up to fate? Like a blind date or randomly dialing ten digits to see who is on the other end of the line in hopes maybe they are your soulmate? In a way, that is how we found Josh Barker and his team. My wife and I were in the market for a new home, and we saw a house on Zillow and called the number associated with it. After our time meeting Eric Ivaniski, a realtor on Josh's team, it was like a match made in heaven. While my wife and I were serious about relocating, were not in a rush. Eric was super patient, endured our kids, and let us develop our own game

Teresa was extremely helpful in working with me to purchase my first home! She was very informative and patient with me. I had a lot of questions, and she walked me through each step of the way. Many first-time homebuyers frequently speak of "buyers remorse", but I felt well-informed and educated about the process, as well as being adequately informed about the house status (via inspections). As such, I did not have any doubt or remorse about the purchase. I would be more than happy to utilize her services again, and to boldly recommend her to others.

We had the best experience buying our first house with Ben Sprague as our agent! Ben was knowledgeable, hard-working, personable, and honestly made buying a home fun! He took the time to understand our needs/wants and gave us the space to make our own decisions while always being there to answer our questions and work around my husband's busy schedule. When a few issues came up, Ben was upfront and promptly took care of them. We found our house within two weeks and closed right on schedule! Ben went above and beyond for us, even checking in after we had moved in to make sure everything was

We sold our house in 2017 using CM, a well-known, highly advertised company. Although the house sold within a few weeks, our agent "dropped the ball" on several instances and we didn't feel like our agent really cared. A year later, we needed to sell my in-laws house and tried Josh Barker. Wow! What a difference. The care and attention we received from Josh and his staff was genuine, sincere, and most importantly, they got the house sold within a week. So in 2019, when we decided to look for another house, of course, we went back to Josh Barker. Our agent Chase was awesome!

We used Josh Barker to sell our Redding home while we lived out of the area. We mostly spoke with Laurie and Krisanna during our home selling process. (Both are some amazing and helpful) This office went above and beyond in every aspect. Our house was listed and sold within 60 days, and since we were living out of the area they coordinated all needed repairs and let contractors in and out for us. I was very stressed when we started thinking about selling the house, and I can honestly say the best decision we ever made was calling this office. They took the stress out of the experience, and even

Josh Barker's office is the best in Redding. They are so knowledgeable, and get stuff done quickly. I recommend them to my Aunt she met with Josh, signed a contract, had professional pictures done of her house, and it listed in 3 days and open house that weekend. They get stuff done! Highly recommend Josh Barker Office for your real estate needs.

I bought a home. I've been looking at homes in Redding for a year. When I reached out to Re/Max I received a quick reply and found the best realtor.
Alex Meyer quickly caught on to what I was looking for. I had so much fun looking at homes and finding the perfect place for my needs.
I've never bought a home on my own and was a bit overwhelmed. Alex made it easy. Walking me through all the steps needed to complete my purchase.
I highly recommend this group. They are all very nice and extremely helpful.
Even though I live 3 hours away it was easy and went very smoothly.
Thank you all

Josh Barker's office provided outstanding service in the sale of our property and greatly exceeded our expectations! We had moved from Redding to Illinois, and never felt that the long distance hindered the process. We were always able to reach someone quickly when we had any questions. We had tenants and wanted to be considerate of them during the process, so Josh arranged to have a video walkthrough of the property to accommodate the tenants and used targeted marketing to appeal to investors.

Mr. Barker had my home listed for 5 months. In that time he had 1 open house, talked to me 0 times on the phone, until I called his office and told them I refused to speak with the office staff and demanded to talk with Josh. Then we only had a couple of conversations, one of them a terrible offer, where he informed me, if I would take a really low amount he could assure me a buyer (was he going to flip it?). Anyway, his follow through is terrible. He yelled at me on the phone and was very rude.

Alex Meyer was a fantastic person to work with when we went through the process of purchasing a home. He is honest, attentive, and friendly. He is very knowledgeable about real estate and homes, which made us very comfortable through the process. Alex listened to what our family needs were, helped us find our perfect home within just a few days, and made sure that we were in our new home quickly.

Just like used car salesmen, i felt alot of empty price quotes, empty promises. Once contract signed by Josh your transferred to unknowledgeable office staff. They do not produce the knowledge/skills for competive edge for negotiations, offering their clients poor advice, often wrong advice. At times i felt they were actually representing the other side. Buyer vs. Seller. The original price quoted was soon pressured to be dropped once contract signed. His numbers are skewed. Example being: he sends out reviews

For those that have bought and sold homes for other than merely profit or business you are quick to realize the unfortunate similarities of the real estate process and the all too common bleh experience of sitting down at a car dealership, with numbers of course being a good bit higher. Some of the pros of Remax:
Larger company better marketing(at a cost $$)
In touch with housing market and current trends
Cons:
Higher cost is not matched with better quality of service in all aspects.
After the initial sit down analysis with Josh you are quickly handed off and a disconnect of buyer/seller and
