Emilie was such a joy to work with! As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous and a bit intimidated by the entire process ahead. We got realtor recommendations from friends, and after speaking with Emilie, we immediately felt at ease and knew she was the right choice. That feeling was confirmed time and time again as we worked with her.

From start to finish, Emilie was incredibly responsive, communicative, proactive, and helpful. We always felt like a priority and had full confidence in her advice and guidance. She consistently checked in during the month leading up to closing, making sure we were on track and offering helpful recommendations for each step of the process. Thanks to her, we never felt like we were missing anything.

No question ever felt like a burden—she was always happy to help. Emilie has a calm confidence that truly puts you at ease. We’re already looking forward to working with her again when my parents relocate from California.

We strongly recommend having Emilie on your team as you search for your home—she’s amazing!

Working with Emilie was an absolute pleasure! From the start, she made us feel grounded and confident in the process, bringing a wealth of knowledge and a truly caring approach. It always felt like she had our best interests at heart, especially during negotiations, where her guidance helped us make the right decisions. She was thoughtful, proactive, and made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed. This was by far our best experience working with a real estate agent, and we’re so grateful for her expertise and support. We highly recommend Emilie to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy agent!

I had a wonderful experience with Emilie as my realtor. I am a first time home buyer and approaching the homebuying process felt daunting. Emilie helped provide a lot of clarity on the process. Her depth on knowledge and ability to communicate that information really provided me with a lot of confidence, and I couldn't be happier with how it all went. I highly recommend her services!

Emilie helped us find a great house in Durham and guided us through the buying process every step of the way. Selling and buying a house at the same time is pure chaos, but Emilie helped us stay on schedule and keep our cool. Steadfast, confident, and composed, with a sense of humor when we needed it most. Emilie was recommended to us, and we would highly recommend her to anyone as well. Cheers and thank you Emilie!

Working with Emilie Barker was such a joy. She is knowledgeable, helpful, and always on the ball. She put us at ease with her expertise and attention to detail. She has a calming presence that made the stressful house hunting process feel more manageable. She knows when to push and when to hold back based on her expert understanding of the market. We always could feel that she had our best interest in mind. I truly couldn’t recommend her enough! We had so much fun spending our weekends with her and were sad to part ways when we found our home. She led us directly to our dream home and encouraged us to make an offer that sealed the deal. She is not just a wonderful realtor, but a wonderful person. We were so lucky to work with someone as lovely as Emilie!

I had the pleasure of meeting Emilie Barker on two occasions during our corporate events. Recently, I referred a couple purchasing in Emilie's market, and I had the opportunity to chat with her more. With the power of our Sotheby's brand and our global network, Emilie was a perfect fit for them. I was impressed with Emilie's communication skills, professionalism, regular updates, and expertise in her market. She was quickly able to find the perfect home that met all of their desires and needs. Thank you so much! Cheryl Asheville NC

We worked with Emilie for our move from Atlanta back to Durham. Durham has change so much over the past several years, and Emilie helped us find a great neighborhood we can grow into. The market is still so cutthroat, but we felt confident with Emilie’s negotiating abilities to get us as best a contract as possible. She also had recommendations for inspectors and professionals who were able to come by quickly to provide quotes which was super helpful.
