What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Selling and managing residential property around Gawler sits at the centre of the work described by clients of this agency. A theme running through the feedback is the depth of market knowledge staff bring to appraisals, with Nicky praised for guiding vendors through preparing a home for sale and for responding promptly to questions along the way. Honesty and clear communication recur throughout the feedback, and clients frequently note being kept informed from the initial meeting through to settlement.

Brodie is credited with local expertise and with stepping beyond the usual duties to keep a sale moving, while Cody draws similar remarks for attention to detail and consistent follow-up. Amy is described as courteous, approachable and helpful with suggestions. Investors report that rental properties are re-let quickly and without hassle, including tenants secured shortly after a new build reached completion, and the internal maintenance team is acknowledged for assisting a vendor preparing a house for market.

The family business character of the office and the friendliness of the wider team are mentioned repeatedly, together with paperwork and inspections handled in a timely manner. Clients describe fair treatment on both sides of a transaction and appreciate the direct answers they receive, with several noting that promises made at the outset were delivered upon.

Barker Real Estate has managed my investment property for the last few years, and their service has been flawless. Every time the property comes up for rent, they find a new tenant incredibly quickly and completely hassle-free. They are professional, proactive, and a pleasure to work with. I would always recommend them.

From my appraisal meeting with Nicky, I felt her professionalism and guidance to prepare my home for sale was excellent. Every question regarding the process was promptly answered. Nicky’s honesty, knowledge of the market, communication and organisation skills with myself and her friendly team members all contributed to a prompt and great experience selling my home through Barker Realestate. I am sincerely grateful for their excellent service.

Review for Nicky Barker. Nicky had great knowledge of the market. Everything was executed in a timely manner and communication was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Nicky Barker and her Real Estate team to buy/sell your property.

Save yourself the trouble of having to chase up rent due, not being informed of payment plans you didn’t agree to. Confidentiality breaches by email and poor communication with after hours repairs. Promises made and not kept, inspections not performed thoroughly.mixing up clients (helped to us twice once with a bee incident another with plumbing) I do not recommend. We have two houses with barker for nearly 2 years and won’t be renewing with them.

Brodie was very honest and had excellent knowledge in the area we were selling. We liked that it was a family business and everyone at the office was friendly and approachable. Brodie went above and beyond his role to ensure everything went smoothly on settlement day which was very appreciated.

We previously purchased a home through Brodie, so when it came time to sell, choosing Barker Real Estate was an easy decision. The whole team was fantastic. Brodie and Cody understood that we’d never sold a house before and took the time to share their knowledge and guide us through the process. They’re down-to-earth, never pushy, and incredibly helpful. We’ll definitely continue working with Barker for any future buying and selling. Thank you!
