Barbara Pugh represented us with our new home purchase. Prior to us arriving in North Carolina, we had a conversation on what we were looking for and decided on a weekend to meet. She did a great job of explaining parts of the city and lead us to many different neighborhoods. We saw numerous homes the first day we were here. She circled back to us a few days later after we were able to revisit some of the neighborhoods. Barbara was very through throughout the process. Since we decided on a new build, she checked in with us for the 8 months of it getting built and a few times meeting us there. We would highly recommend Barbara as she was always available no matter what.

When, I decided to sell my home at South Topsail I reached out to Barbara Pugh. She had sold a couple of lots for my husband and me a few years ago and her work ethic is amazing. Barbara is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and yet very personable. She was always available to answer any questions even as she was traveling. As potential buyers called her, she always kept me in the know of what was going on with my house. She handled the process from listing to selling as if it was her home. She gave me her honest and sound advice and it paid off for me. In all three properties, I got my asking price. I highly recommend Barbara Pugh if you are looking for a real estate agent to sell your property or needing to buy a new property. -- Gayle

Barbara and very passionate and showed a high degree of empathy and integrity during closing. She is highly skilled in the real estate market and I would recommend her services without questions. If you want a go-getter, hard/smart working and tireless Agent I would suggest calling Barbara. With Barbara's familiarity of the greater Wilmington real estate market I thoroughly enjoyed working with her on the closing of my new home in The Cottages at Bradley.

Barbara has been phenomenal. She communicated everything we needed to know clearly and went above and beyond for us. Moving from out of state is always anxiety inducing when you can’t check your own house, but I trusted Barbara to go through my home as if it was her own. I would work with her over and over.

This was our second time working with Barbara Pugh, and we have nothing but high praises for her. Barbara is experienced, detail oriented, drives for perfection, puts her clients first, and will always provide her honest and fair feedback. You can tell that Barbara has a grasp on the Wilmington and surrounding areas, as the connections (inspectors, insurance quotes, etc) she brought to us were also class acts and well educated in their profession. We have used Barbara for 2 home purchases in the Wilmington area, and would confidently pass her name along to any of our friends or family.

Working with Barbara was an absolute pleasure! She is the most proactive and insightful agent that we've worked with across 4 moves now. Helped us throughout the process - understanding the Wilmington area and what pockets would work best for our family, selecting and closing on a home, getting the best contractors and services post close. Her knowledge of the area is unparalleled.

Barbara is absolutely the best real estate agent we have worked with! She was extremely professional and proactive. She went out of her way to ensure we had timely responses and necessary information. We were confident that Barbara would make it happen, we had a smooth home buying process and it was definitely thanks to her knowledge and experience. We had a few last minute issues with our lender before closing, and Barbara took care of it over a holiday weekend. We got the house we wanted and we couldn’t be more pleased!

Barbara was extremely helpful in all aspects of our home purchase. We were located out of state and she had excellent communication about available properties. When we made a trip to look in person, she had two full days lined up for us to make sure we were able to access as many properties as possible. She is easy to get along with and understood what our family was looking for in our future home. She isn’t shy to stand up for her clients and we are so grateful for her expertise and assistance.

Barbara was great to work with! We were new to the area entirely and she went out of her way to show us around and let us know all the great sights, restaurants, coffee shops and shops in the area. During the purchase process she was our eyes and ears on the ground as we were out of the area. She went to bat for us when we needed her most during a somewhat rollercoaster of a process with our lender. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Barbara Pugh was absolutely a life saver for us. Moving from out of state is stressful but Barbara took her time with us to make sure we knew what to expect when buying in NC. She was very familiar with all of the different areas of Wilmington and effortlessly guided us to what turned out to be our dream home. We were extremely fortunate to have Barbara as our realtor and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell in the area.

Barbara Pugh was referred to us by our NH Realtor and she could not have been a better match! Barbara was helpful from the first conversation on the phone, the in-person home tours, several video tours, contract writing and right on through to closing day! Her extensive knowledge of New Hanover County, her prompt and clear communication and her cheerful personality made our home buying experience, in a very difficult market, very smooth. Thank you, Barbara!

Barbara was amazing to work with. She went above and beyond to help us in every aspect of our home search. We were moving from MA, so we only met in person once before putting in offers, and she was willing to go to multiple homes for us, including scheduling private appointments and FaceTiming with us so we could see everything. I would recommend Barbara to anyone, and I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Barbara is exceptional at her job; we never felt left out during the process; she was an educator on things we were not familiar with and advocated for us while handling things in CA. She was present and took the time to ensure we felt comfortable with our options and steps to move forward. A true professional. Thank you, Barbara; we appreciate you more than you will ever know, the Jackson Family!

Barbara was incredible to work with! We were first time homebuyers and she worked with us every step of the way. She answered any and all questions we had at all hours of the day. We never felt that weren't being prioritized, I couldn't recommend using her and/or Coldwell Banker enough!
