Real Estate By Design

Niki is the BEST realtor we have ever worked with!! We were relocating from Tennessee to Texas for work in what had previously been an extremely stressful situation. We immediately felt better when we started working with Niki!!! She is a wealth of knowledge on the area. She kept us updated throughout the entire process and was patient to answer all the many questions we had. She made us feel like we were working with a longtime friend that had our best interest at heart and not just a realtor that we had just met. I cannot express enough how phenomenal she was through the entire process. We would very highly recommend Niki!!

We feel compelled to write a review for the invaluable services of our realtor, Niki Barnes.

I was searching for a real estate agent who would provide us with exceptional service and who would understand our needs, and we were very lucky to find Niki. Some friends of ours, Niki’s former clients, gave us some positive reviews and highly recommended her to us.
Niki is a super responsive realtor. She kept us involved and up to date with all the purchase processes. Moreover, Niki is very reliable and was always available. She promptly responded to our questions through telephone calls, texts, and emails. By the way, her emails were always very detailed, organized, and well written.
She listened to our requests and represented us very well — guiding us through the entire process of buying and securing our daughter’s dream home — with her exceptional skills, her knowledge, and her experience in real estate.
She intervened several times between the builder and us to ensure the purchase and transactions went smoothly. Her participation greatly exceeded our expectations.
Niki definitely met our needs. All through the process we knew we were dealing with an experienced realtor who has always gone out of her way to ensure every detail is taken care of. Even one year after buying our new home, she is still guiding us and helping us to prepare for the 11th month home inspection so we can address the flaws found in our new home and submit them for the warranty process.
Niki is an outstanding realtor. Her hard work and dedication helped us find the perfect home for our daughter. Thank you, Niki.

Hank Trimble is one of the best realtors I have ever worked with. He listened carefully to our needs and showed us homes that were close to our choices. He is very thorough in paperwork as well. He always looked out for us.He would follow up on any pending issues with us and the sellers agent as well. His efforts in selling our home was phenomenal. I would recommend him and his team for anyone who is looking to buy or sell your home.

My husband and I have sold and purchased homes with Niki’s help over the last 12 years. In totally we have sold 3 homes and purchased 2. Niki is constantly working for her clients so that they have the most seamless buying/selling process. She’s a Dentonite and knows the area extremely well. Her positive demeanor is such a bright spot, especially when you are stressing as a buyer or seller. Her expertise in the process and ability to explain things so succinctly always provided the security and confidence we needed. We will always work with Niki when buying or selling real estate! We recommend her to everyone! I’ve known Niki for over 30 years and can attest to the amazing human she is. You are in great hands!

Julie Acker was an absolute Godsend! She made the process of selling my parents’ home a breeze! She was extremely responsive and went above and beyond to ensure we understood the process and helped anywhere she could to help us get the house prepared for the sale. We were in a time crunch and she made everything happen seamlessly. I highly recommend Julie if you are in need of a compassionate, professional realtor!

Niki Barnes has helped me with the sale of my house, leasing a new house, and the numerous questions via email and text in between. She is always patient, kind, and brings a wealth a knowledge about the entire process. Even when I'm not in the process of buying or leasing, Niki is still checking in on me and Paris🥰. That's puts a nice personal touch to our relationship.

Niki sold a home for me in 2021 and since then has helped me find two rental homes. She even helped me get me more of my rental deposit back. She is personable and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her as your real estate agent. She will always go that extra mile for you!

We just bought a home in Lewisville and worked with Myra. She is wonderful! We sold our home much quicker than we had anticipated and had to find one to buy rather quickly. Myra went above and beyond to help us in our search; even looking at houses for us when we had to go out of town. She is a kind, knowledgeable and quality human being and you can't find anyone better or more dedicated. Love her!

Niki helped us sell and buy on two different occasions. She is knowledgeable, motivated, and personable. If you want your experience to be painless and easy, Niki is your realtor! She will work hard for you!

We have know Niki Barnes for over 10 years. She has been an integral part of our moving from CA to TX. Her expertise and friendship has been greatly appreciated in us purchasing and selling real estate property. Niki is very patient, honest, and knowledgeable walking her clients through purchasing or selling a home.

Julie is amazing! She did a wonderful job at ensuring our first home buying experience was done perfectly. Julie answered any and all questions we had, made sure things were done smoothly, and showed she had passion and great knowledge during this process.

Our experience with Hank and his team was nothing but amazing. Hank helped us buy and sell our old house in less than 2 months! The communication was outstanding- he is very quick to respond. He is knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend Hank 100%.

Niki is simply amazing. She was wonderful to work with. She took the time to find out exactly what we were looking for and found our home. I highly recommend her.

Julie did a great job. Always asked throughout the selling process if there was anything else she could do to help. Assisted with special trips and tasks that I considered to be going above and beyond expectations.

Julie worked some late nights with my loan agent to get my new home for my family. She made sure everything went smoothly with the seller's agent when we hit a few snags. Highly recommend!

Niki helped us purchase our first home and she was AMAZING!! Knowledgeable, kind and patient. Highly recommend!

Julie was amazing. She knew the process, but wasn't too pushy about anything. She was always available and i was a bit high maintenance. I definitely recommend using her.
