My family and I have used Dara for buying 2 houses and selling 1 house and every experience has been absolutely top notch from start to finish.
Dara has a way of putting us at ease through big life events like selling or buying a home and makes the process so simple compared to other realtors we've worked with in the past.
She's a joy to work with and is our first recommendation when any family or friends ask about a reliable, trustworthy realtor who is also fiercely in your corner when it comes down to the paperwork and deals.
Can't recommend Dara and The Barker Team enough

First of all if we could give ten stars we would! We truly cannot express how professional and caring Dara was and all other team members were in the selling of our old home and the purchase of our new home. We do recommend them to anyone who's in need of buying or selling a home. We feel that they are our family now.

The Barker Team went above and beyond in spring 2023 to list then close in rapid succession my family’s original home and property in rural Ohio. All of the lead up preparations and the wise advice given to my mother in advance of the live listing date resulted in multiple offers, including cash offers, allowing my mother the opportunity to extract the most value from her biggest asset. Dara and her team are professional, talented, and genuinely care about the clients and families they serve. We recommend them highly!

Dara has helped us with two houses now. Our first house was a simple purchase but she really helped us as we were new to the whole thing. Our second purchase was a bit harder. We we selling our first home, and moving into a new build, but wanted to time the sell so we could move directly into a new build whose timeline was not set in stone.
Her advice on getting our house ready to show was amazing and I think really helped. Most of all, she watched the market for us expertly, which was starting to cool down(December 2023). As a result we were able to seamlessly sell our first house with 30 days of possession, close on the new build 20 days later and move right in. It was nerve wracking trying to time the two schedules together but Dara and her team made it seem doable, and they certainly came through.
On a personal note, she still keeps touch with us through the years to make sure we still love our house, and we always get invited to her client appreciation event. Great team, great experience, pleasure to work with all around.

Dara is very knowledgeable, helpful, easy. to work with. We were dealing with a difficult seller and there was some concern that the purchase would not go through. However, Dara was persistent, clever and willing to address challenging problems.

Dara Barker is a fantastic realtor! She was extremely responsive in detail with any questions I had during the process of selling my old house, and buying my new one.
This was my first time selling a house, and she gave me tips and advice to make sure I could get the most out of my sale. My house went in to contract 24 hours after it was put up on the market.
Dara also was very attentive to the type of house I was looking to purchase. I would get new listings that fit my search criteria, which was really exciting.
When I found the house that was the perfect fit, we ended up being able to negotiate for a lower than asking price.
Overall it was a perfect experience. I’m grateful to Dara for all the assistance, and highly recommend her to anyone in Columbus looking to buy or sell a home!
Thanks a ton ❤️
