Hufford & Co., Inc.

Negative experience: Barrie recently represented sellers on the home we recently purchased. We closed on our house December 8th and officially moved in on December 16th. On December 17th, the downstairs toilet started to backflow into the downstairs shower. We called a different plumbing to come out and diagnose the issue, thinking it was something minor. The plumber did a sewer scope and showed us our plumbing line was corroded with large cracks and recommended the entire line, all the way to the street be replaced, with a quote of $26,500. The damage is not just our pipes, but it's under the foundation of our home. Additionally, the plumber noted the sidewalk outside our home is concaved. Fixing the pipes will also require us to remodel our downstairs bathroom, because the plumbing goes directly under that bathroom. So in addition to the $26,500 to fix the pipes, we now have to remodel our bathroom. There is NO way the sellers of this house didn't know this was an issue prior to selling the home. I believe Barrie misrepresented the plumbing issues on behalf of their sellers to get the home sold quickly and did not do their due diligence in representing the plumbing damage of this home. DO NOT TRUST HER.

Negative experience: Being a renter here for five years was horrible. They are unreasonable when you need something fixed they try to blame you. They are rude. They’re not good to the tenants buying a home here. It looks like they have great reviews. Beware when you rent here for renters it’s not good

Fantastic experience: Barrie is a friendly, knowledgeable and patient professional. She helped my husband and I sell our condo in a crazy interest rate environment. Her guidance and moral support are invaluable. I highly recommend Barrie and Doug!

Fantastic experience: If you need a really good real estate agent, you need a really smart one! Barrie is a really smart one! She’s also fun to work with. She has a good knowledge of the Denver markets and has extraordinary follow up energy. She is also very patient and helpful in working out complex decisions. Her husband, Doug, also has great knowledge of the “real estate game” and proved to be a value added discussion partner. Good luck finding just the right place with Barrie’s help.

Fantastic experience: Barrie is an absolute rockstar! Seriously, if you're looking for a realtor who goes the extra mile, is always available, and has fantastic communication, Barrie is your person. Couldn't recommend enough

Negative experience: The short of it: they do not honor the lease language and change the rules as they go. Its all about them and you literally don't matter. The detail: paid in full to take possession of a Hufford managed property per a lease starting on May 30 which starts at 12:01 on May 30...the entire day. I wanted the key available for May 30 by 6am when I had to start the moving process. I was told I could have the key at their convenience that day. I have moved a lot. NO ONE DOES THIS. They give you the key so you have it for the day the lease starts. They didn't care about the lease language and said it would be given to me at their convenience. I held them to the lease so they said they would refund me and break the lease stating they would give me my money back right then. I agreed to it and said give me my refund and I will leave. Then the man said well no actually you can't have the refund now. He made me come back another day saying he would give me a check for the entire amount. I got it on video. I came back. They didn't give me the full refund in a check. and they held my refund in their hand saying if I didn't sign a document I couldn't have it back. Someone needs to take them to court to let them know power games over money and deposits are not reasons to retain monies given for deposits and rent. But its all about them. Its their way or the highway. Then came the document I was forced to sign along with threats they would call police if I continued resisting because the document stated they had already refunded me which was not the truth at all. On the check they had put my address on it as the address they knew was not moving into and their reason was they didn't know my current address. I reminded them only a week ago they did a landlord reference verification for my current address. This is what you get with Hufford.

Fantastic experience: Stephanie is absolutely amazing! Every time I’ve needed help, she’s been friendly, professional, and incredibly efficient. Whether it’s answering questions, handling paperwork, or resolving issues, she always goes above and beyond. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the tenants and takes pride in her work. The office runs so much smoother thanks to her—couldn’t ask for a better person to work with!

Fantastic experience: Barrie was a tremendous person to work with when it came to purchasing our first home. Her experience was on full display with how helpful she was throughout the entire process. I really admired how dedicated she was to finding us a house that worked within both our budget and wishlist. Whether it was late in the evening or early on a Saturday morning, Barrie was available for a phone call to answer any question we had. I was happy that she was in our corner. I'd highly recommend Barrie Hufford to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Barrie on a recent real estate transaction in which I was listing agent and she was represented the buyer. She was true professional and a pleasure to work with. When looking for an agent to represent your interests… how that agent interacts and communicates with the other side can go a long way to determining how the transaction will go. I would happily work with her again given the professionalism with which she approached our negotiations and working through the various stages of the contract and closing.

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend and I just worked with Barrie Hufford to find and purchase our new home, and we couldn't recommend her enough! She had helped him buy his first home a few years ago, so it was a no-brainer for him when it was time to enlist the help of a realtor again. Barrie is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and communicative (she even helped write up an offer for us after business hours, on her birthday!), and always made us feel comfortable with our many, many questions. Thank you so much for all your help throughout this process, Barrie!

Fantastic experience: Doug and Barrie are the Dynamic Duo! When meeting the both of them, they knocked our socks off and we can't believe how lucky we got by using their services for years. Barrie was able to sell two homes for us at a time we thought it may not be possible. Barrie provided exceptional service and expertise, making us feel important and valued. She was always responsive, professional, and knowledgeable when we talked, which was frequent. Her patience was golden! Doug was able to to use his expertise in finding a wonderful tenant for our property for years. We thought that may be hard to do but he made it seem easy and we didn't have any difficulties or nightmares which we hear often happens. We truly believe this couple were a Godsend and that they took care of us on a level that is unheard of! I guarantee that anyone who works with Barrie or Doug will feel the same way. Take the opportunity to lift a very heavy weight off your shoulders and hire Hufford & Co. They are head and shoulders above the rest!

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend Barrie Hufford, she was an invaluable asset during our recent real estate transaction. From start to finish, Barrie provided exceptional service and expertise, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. We were looking for a property for our daughter to live in for her remaining years at college. This was the first time we have purchased a property from afar as we live in another state. Throughout the buying/selling process, Barrie demonstrated a deep knowledge of the local market, helping us make informed decisions every step of the way. She is always responsive, professional, and patient in addressing all our questions and concerns. Whether it was scheduling showings, negotiating offers, or handling paperwork, Barrie was consistently prompt, thorough, and proactive. What truly set Barrie apart was her attention to detail and their ability to understand our needs. She took the time to listen carefully to what we were looking for, and translating that into a great selection of houses to tour. Barrie took our daughter around to view houses and then Facetimed us to tour the property and talk through everything. She was able to help us identify an incredible property in a very safe neighbor hood within our price point. She walked our daughter through the entire process as a great learning experience all the way from the MLS listings, the negotiations, inspection and closing. I am confident that anyone who works with Barrie will receive the same high level of service and dedication. If you're looking for a skilled and trustworthy realtor, I highly recommend Barrie without hesitation.

Negative experience: Horrible company Doug is awful to deal

Fantastic experience: Barrie recently assisted us in selling my childhood home, which was no easy task. The sale was emotional and challenging due to city zoning, and it was three hours away from where we currently reside. We needed someone with extensive knowledge, networking skills, and, most importantly, empathy and care. Barrie got to work immediately, gathered an incredible amount of information about the process and the status of city and county inspections, and reviewed all the non-standard documents. The delivery of the information was straightforward: present the information and talk about the pros/cons/strategy for moving forward. She treated the situation like she was selling her own home—she looked out for me and my family home with our best interests in mind. She was consistently available to address, research, and answer all of our questions and concerns. We couldn't have done it without her professionalism and expertise.

Fantastic experience: I was a tenant here for over 3 years. They were the best property manager I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Always responsive when needed, easy to work with, and kind and compassionate. Thank you Stephanie and Doug for everything- Wish I could of stayed under your management when I moved!

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Barrie Hufford from Hufford & Co. on the sale of my property. What made this experience truly exceptional was the fact that I, as the seller, was located out of state throughout the entire process. Barrie Hufford not only managed the sale seamlessly but also went above and beyond to ensure a successful conclusion. Barrie's commitment to excellence was evident from the beginning. The property was expertly staged, showcasing its best features and creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for potential buyers. This attention to detail significantly contributed to the overall appeal of the home. Despite my physical absence, Barrie made sure that the property received maximum exposure. There were multiple showings, and Barrie was always available to facilitate these viewings, ensuring that prospective buyers had the opportunity to experience the property firsthand. What truly stood out was Barrie's dedication to driving the sale to its conclusion. Communication was prompt and thorough, with Barrie keeping me informed every step of the way. Her expertise and proactive approach alleviated any concerns I had about being out of state during such a significant transaction. In summary, Barrie Hufford and the entire team at Hufford & Co. exceeded my expectations. Selling a property remotely could have been a daunting task, but Barrie's professionalism, staging expertise, and commitment to excellence made the entire process smooth and successful. I highly recommend Hufford & Co. for their outstanding service in real estate transactions.

Negative experience: I wouldn’t rent again with them for free.

Negative experience: I believe most reviews are from people who bought homes with Barry. Avoid this company for rentals like the plague! Hufford and company took over management of my building in Golden and I made several months of effort to get in touch while my lease was expiring and I needed basic repairs done. I left message after message asking for a new contract and walk through of the unit together. Then one day Stephanie called me demanding I sign a lease immediately because I wasn’t on one. This is a consistent pattern, totally ghosting until they need something immediately. For months I told them I wasn’t on a lease and wanted to talk them. Then she scolded me for not having signed a contract during the months they ignored me. My brother was visiting and broke a window of a neighbour backing up his van, he made an effort to reconcile directly with the neighbors but we had no communication whatsoever until over a month later when they stuck a huge bill on my account already listed as past due the day it posted. Stephanie called demanding I pay IMMEDIATELY so they could pay the contractor who they allegedly stiffed until they could collect. Then they asked the tenant with property damage to his unit to pay the bill as and added to both of our accounts. There are squatters living in the parking lot of this building and apparently tenants are responsible for any damage done to our unit by any outsider? Stolen cars and a boat trailer have been left in this lot for months due to the lack of attention from maintenance. My bicycle was stolen off of my 2nd floor balcony using a ladder the management company left outside. Surprise surprise, no one responded to this safety concern either and no one takes responsibility for the lawlessness on their property. I had ac that did not work nor heat in winter. Most renters had non working screen doors so we couldn’t even allow fresh air in absent ac in the summer (wasp nests all over the building so screens are very necessary). I even had to put super glue on my front door which was rotted out and wouldn’t close. This unit was moldy and my health has improved dramatically since getting out: no ac, no windows for ventilation, no ac, it definitely had long lasting effects on my health and I woke up unable to breathe every morning in this building, something I don’t experience anywhere else. On the rare occasion I got through to management I was told to put in a work order. My last work order on these basic liveability issues was “received” for over a year with no follow up. I gave one months notice of move out and called asking what I could do to get my deposit back. Stephanie was very vague: “clean the fridge, wash windows.” Then AFTER my posted move out date she sent me an email with a detailed move out checklist, saying “this is a list we sent you awhile ago”, which they certainly did not. A month prior I had asked what I could do for a smooth transition and she didn’t bring up this list, then AFTER the move out date she pretended she had sent it long ago. This is the pattern: they don’t do anything ahead or communicate regularly and then gaslight you pretending they have been doing their job and you’re responsible for not receiving a non existent communication. Tenants on ground floor had filthy waste water leak into their apartments due to awful plumbing and were told they would need to pay for it if they ever stuck food in their garbage disposal! Plumbing so bad it leaks ON THEIR heads and they are being blamed for putting food in a supposed garbage disposal unit? Total lack of responsibility or accountability from management for a single thing: plumbing so bad it leaks on tenants heads is not those tenants fault! As far as I know no one from this management company even ever saw my apartment, just sat in their office collecting money and only uttering a peep if rent was a day late…all the work they weren’t doing on the building to give us basics like fresh air, mold control, etc but God forbid they wait a day or two to collect all their money for absolutely nothing!

Negative experience: Kind people and enjoyed living at the property but beware as a renter. They're absent from most needs and are very difficult to get in touch with for basic needs as a renter including getting the lease set up properly with the correct dates, names, etc. Also will do their best to scam you out of your security deposit.

Fantastic experience: Working with Barrie and Doug was a pleasure. Barrie makes the process of buying and selling less stressful. She also knows how to price your home to get the best offer!

Fantastic experience: Barrie Hufford is without a doubt, the best realtor in the Greater Denver area! Whether you are buying or selling a home, Barrie knows the greater Denver market like nobody's business. I have both purchased and sold homes with Barrie, and each transaction was a terrific experience.

Fantastic experience: Barrie Hufford is fabulous! She worked extremely hard to sell one condo for me and purchase another. She is a miracle worker. We ended up closing on both the SAME DAY! Call Barrie. She's a true go-getter who cares not only about business but her clients as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: WOW! Just WOW! Barrie worked so hard for me. I was selling one condo that belonged to my sister who passed and trying to buy another for myself. Barrie made this happen! Closed on both units the same day. She guided me step by step through the entire process. She's knowledgeable, gracious and she truly cares about her clients. Give her a call. She is incredible

Fantastic experience: Barrie is great all around! She has a very in-depth knowledge of the local real estate industry and is super easy to work work with!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Barrie Hufford. Barrie is very thorough, knowledgeable and professional. As a first time homebuyer, Barrie took the time to answer all questions we had. We are very appreciative that Barrie was able to help us buy our first home!

Positive experience: Do what they can with what property owners allow.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Barrie enough, she was so great throughout the search process. This was our first time purchasing a home, so we had 1,000 questions and concerns but Barrie was always able to fully explain anything that we were curious or concerned about. Definitely recommend for any home purchase!

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure having Barrie represent us in the purchase of our condo. She is extremely responsive and attentive to detail. She was patient in our long search and knowledgeable and skillful in her handling of the closing. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking a broker in the region.

Negative experience: Very disappointed, I applied for a place and didn't hear anything for a day, so I called they said they would get back to me the next day. It has been one week and nothing. I have good credit, make enough money, have never been evicted so I am confused. They also said I was the only person who had applied, guess they didn't like me for some reason? Doug also asked me a lot of personal questions about my divorce. Maybe they aren't fans of single moms or people who are getting a divorce?

Fantastic experience: Barrie was simply the best agent we could have asked for. She was professional and personable while exhibiting patience and poise when I needed things explained to me about the home buying process. She was extremely timely with the completion of tasks and made sure to stay on top of everything as timelines came and went. Her friendly and compassionate nature eases the stresses involved in home buying and her clear expertise facilitates a smooth progression forward from start to finish. I could not recommend Barrie more highly!

Fantastic experience: Barrie is phenomenal ! As first time home buyers, she led us through every step of the process, making sure that all our questions were answered, and that we felt comfortable along the way. Barrie is extremely responsive, thorough, patient and flexible. I can't imagine having gone through the process with anyone else and I am so grateful for her expertise. I would highly recommend Barrie to anyone looking to buy a home!

Fantastic experience: Perfect service

Fantastic experience: We cannot recommend Barrie highly enough! We were first time home buyers and she took the time to help us understand all that we needed to know about the home buying process. It took us a while to find the right home, and we never felt pressured; she was always in our corner and wanted to make sure that the home that we purchased was the right fit for us. Whenever we had a decision to make, she took the time to explain the situation and help us understand all of our options so we could make an informed decision. She was very professional, informative, and communicative throughout all phases of the process and made our first house purchase a very positive experience. She truly cares about her clients and is just all around great to work with. We highly recommend Barrie and Hufford & Company to anyone buying or selling a house.

Positive experience: it's a unique furniture store.lots of differant styles of home furnisings.

Fantastic experience: Barrie helped us find our first home in Colorado. She was fantastic even when thrown the COVID curveball she made the process as smooth as possible. Always prompt to respond and flexible with scheduling and her adorable sense of humor made the experience even better. Thank you Barrie!!!

Fantastic experience: Barrie and Doug are both honest and reliable. They truly are great people who care deeply about their community and ensuring the home buying process is as stress free as possible! I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Barrie and Doug are such a pleasure! Their passionate support of the Tri for the Cure (a woman’s triathlon benefiting the fight against breast and ovarian cancer) is a testament to their charitable nature. I’ve witnessed their professionalism and know they always go the extra mile for their clients. I highly recommend Hufford & Co!

Fantastic experience: The Huffords are great people - reliable and honest!

Fantastic experience: Doug and Barrie sponsored our baseball team, can’t thank them enough for their generosity, very thankful. Doug and Barrie are awesome people!

Fantastic experience: HUFFORD & CO. are amazing people and also give back to their community!

Fantastic experience: Barrie is wonderful to work with! She is professional, friendly, knowledgeable, communicates throughout the transaction - I would work with her again and highly recommend her services. -Tara

Fantastic experience: Doug and Barrie are by far the best real estate agents in Colorado. They embody everything you want in both a buyer’s and seller’s agent. They take the time to figure out what you truly want in a home and help you get it. Their tenacious bargaining skills get you the best deal possible both as a seller and a buyer. They have assisted me in multiple purchases and sales over the past 5 years and I would never consider using another agency. In the era of dealing with faceless internet mega real estate firms, you absolutely need the experience and skills of a personal local broker who knows the market and can help you find your dream home. Hire Doug and Barrie today and they will get you home!

Negative experience: My application to rent a home in Arvada was submitted and paid for on April 14th. I was told that I would know within the week whether or not I was approved. After not hearing back for 9 days, I called to check in on the status of my application. They told me that they would let me know if I was accepted or not by the following Friday, April 26th. I didn't receive any notice. I called this morning, April 29th at 11:30am and was told to leave my phone number to get a call back because Doug was on another call. I didn't get a call back for 4 hours so I called them again and was finally told that the home was offered to a different applicant. I'm disappointed by the lack of communication and how little they seemed to care once our application was paid for. EDIT (Response to Owner): I did try to call to discuss this. Nobody answered for the 20 minutes I tried to reach you for. I understand that you have other applicants and my complaint wasn't just that it took a while, it's that for 2 weeks the only calls that were sent were from me to you. If you couldn't meet the week deadline that your people set, I believe it's appropriate to reach out and let me know that it's going to take longer. I wouldn't mind as much if your company gave some notice since we're out looking for a place to rent and don't want to throw 40-50 dollars in application fees at real estate agencies just to not hear back for half a month or potentially longer. I think it's disingenuous to say you "told me" last week that you would notify me or that you "notified me" on Monday when I was the only person reaching out.

Fantastic experience: Barrie Hufford helped us both buy and sell a home, and she was fantastic to work with on both accounts. She was kind, professional, knowledgable, timely, patient, and caring. She helped us find and purchase our dream home, and we felt like she had our best interests in mind the whole time. She was fabulous with our two young kiddos, who had to sometimes come along to view houses. We sold our house quickly and seamlessly, and we were very pleased with Hufford and Co's professional photos and courtesy cleaning as we were moving out. Overall we were very impressed with Barrie (and her husband Doug), and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy and/or sell a house.

Fantastic experience: Barrie and Doug are very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to help make sure everything goes smoothly. Barrie helped me numerous times when problems came up with my sale. She is very attentive to details and your needs , highly recommend her as a realtor !

Fantastic experience: Barrie and Doug Hufford are always so helpful! Its been a pleasure to work with them.

Fantastic experience: Hufford & Co. is a great company. Not only do they have top notch customer service but they give back to the community. For the last few years they have supported our youth baseball team as a sponsor. It's great to see Doug and Barrie help Arvada's youth. We are grateful for their support.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional real estate company and operation! Working with Barrie and Doug was inspiring, calming and fun! Consummate professionals who take the stress out of the home buying and selling process. My wife and I really appreciated the way in which they listened and developed a game plan that completely complemented our budget, parameters, location preferences, style and timing. Their knowledge of the modern real estate landscape runs deep and they are experts in navigating negotiations. We love our home and plan to stay there many years, but will certainly be looking forward to working with Hufford & Co. again when the time comes.

Fantastic experience: Barrie and Doug Hufford are amazing people and are awesome realtors.. They are caring people that will work hard for you and do anything they can to help you out with a sale of your home or when you are buying a home.. I have seen them on both sides of a transaction and I must say they do a great job of keeping things as fair as they can..

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience both buying and selling. Barrie & Doug were guided us through a challenging sell with a very unreasonable buying agent. And Barrie was more than accommodating through my purchase. She was always available to show, to talk, and to listen to me complain about the crazy market.

Fantastic experience: I work with a lot of real estate agents in my line of business and by far Doug and Barrie Hufford are top notch. They are experienced, professional and very attentive to the details of your transaction, they will work for you in every angle of the transaction. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, look no further - the best team is right here!

Fantastic experience: Hufford & Company is by far, one of the best Real Estate Offices I have worked with in my years in this industry. I see Real Estate Agents "go through the motions" in getting a deal to the table. However, Doug and Barrie Hufford provide stellar service to their clients and they are committed to the process from beginning to end. They are smart, professional, assertive, and they know how to advocate for their Buyers in this competitive market. I have heard numerous testimonials first hand from their clients and they are second to none!

Negative experience: Terrible service. No return phone calls, never returned emails and completely “lost” our file when needed at move out. Would never recommend for rental which is why we used a different agent when we bought. Just not the way to encourage repeat business in an environment where you simply must put some effort in customer service.
