Holly M Barabas's Testimonials
Holly was integral in finding me my home in the area. I was moving down from Tampa and was not familiar with the area very well. I know I wanted to be somewhere in Lakewood Ranch vicinity, and she found one of the best priced deals per square foot on the market at the time and I bought it!
Tim M.
Hi Holly, Just a short note to let you know that I am delighted to have both bought and sold with you and your mum. YOU WERE ALWAYS KNOWLEDGEABLE, ON TIME, AND GOOD HUMORED. Time was never an issue. I will always be happy to return to your office.
Ralph G.
As a first time home buyer and now home owner, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for the work and effort put forth by Holly Barabas and Gulf Shores Realty. I would highly recommend Holly and her team to anyone looking to invest in real estate. My time is valuable to me and working long hours made it difficult to make things happen in a timely manner. However, this was made easier with her diligence and contacts. Thanks for everything Holly, you are greatly appreciated and valued.
Kenneth S. MacNeil - Venice, FL
I was fortunate enough to obtain Holly as my Realtor to buy a home in Englewood, Florida. She was always professional and very knowledgeable. I would recommend her to anyone to buy or sell a home. If I decide to sell or buy a home again, I would most definitely use Holly as my Realtor. Anyone would be lucky to have her as an employee.

Holly is one of the most professional, personable, sunny people we have ever worked with in real estate. She easily makes the process not only straight forward but a pleasure. We would work with her again in a heartbeat, and recommend her to anyone and everyone interested. While very familiar with the greater Venice area after many years of visiting, we connected with Holly to begin to look into purchasing a property in Venice. Holly happily arranged to show us numerous properties so we could get a feel for various communities and where exactly we wanted to be. She arranged the showings all in one day so as not to waste our precious vacation time. She then patiently waited while we downsized up north, then assisted us in pursuing a short-sale in our desired community. She tirelessly pursued this avenue with us, communicating what she knew. While that deal fell through after 8 months of perseverance, she then represented us in purchasing a new-build property still in our desired community, handling everything expertly, remotely with us.
Gary G. & Georgia C.
When I started looking for a home I dreaded having to deal with a real estate agent . My experience in the past has been pushy salespeople with their eye on a commission. Holly Barabas was referred by a trusted friend who had business with her in the past. Holly made the whole home buying experience a good one . I never felt pressured and she was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the home buying experience. Holly Barabas is a true credit to her profession and a wonderful person to work with !!
Gary Swim - North Port, Florida
Thank you so much for working with us over the last few years. We were so lucky to have you as our Realtor. The first home we purchased was a challenging situation and you helped us work through all the obstacles. We truly appreciate your responsiveness, patience and determination. Our experience was the same with the last two houses that you represented us. Thank you for working to get the Best price on a great rental investment and a beach condo. Your experience and hard work has been a blessing. We look forward to our next purchase with you by our side.
Scott & Mari Bosch
We appreciate all Holly did to help us find a new home and to work with the title company to help us get the property closed. We are 1000 miles away in Kentucky and appreciate having Holly that we can trust to take care of us in Florida. Holly is a true asset to your company and will recommend her to everyone we know that is considering buying or selling their property. Thanks.
Phil & Linda Barry
Short sales can be a difficult time for any seller. Holly took it upon herself to take all the stress and responsibility. Her diligence and open communication exceeded my expectations. She got an offer on my home within days of putting it on the market. She was knowledgeable, honest, and always returned calls in a timely manner. Without a doubt she is amongst the best in her profession but also a kind, understanding and personable person. I would highly recommend her to go the extra mile professionally, and value the friendship we built during the successful sale of my home.

I have been a real estate investor for more than 2 decades. Gulf Shores real estate agent Teresa Haberman came to us by way of a strong referral from a former customer. Formerly from NYC we came to Venice to make it our forever home. It is now August 15. Thus far Teresa has produced for me 6 transactions: 4 purchases and 2 sales. After only 10 months Teresa has become a great friend and seemingly a member of our “family”. Her responsiveness is off the charts… her laid-back peaceful presence is beyond belief. She is personable, positive, caring and always has your best interest at heart. Teresa also has been working closely with my partner, Janet as she also is a seasoned investor. It should be also noted that Teresa’s daughter Holly is on her team. Holly is a “carbon copy” of what her Mom is all about: highly competent, trustworthy….. a true professional. In summary, we love Teresa and everything she stands for… she is awesome. In 20+ years as an investor, Teresa is #1. I will continue to happily extend referrals to my friends, family and complete strangers. Thank you Teresa!
John Moran-NYC
I wanted to take a moment and highlight what a fantastic job Teresa and Holly did helping me through this process. This was a tricky two month negotiation, and for a while there I thought I would lose the house. They both jumped through a thousand hoops and stayed on top of what needed to be done. You have two stellar members of your team, and I say they should both get a raise! Than you again for all you've done.
Scott L. - Sarasota, FL
Holly was very helpful and not one bit pushy like some Realtors. She listened to what I wanted and found me the exact home I was looking for. And the biggest selling points of all for me was that she took the time to show me the local amenities such as the South Venice Ferry, dog beach, Shamrock Park, and the nighttime tennis courts...those were the things that really convinced me that I wanted to locate there...and she was so convincing that we then bought a house around the corner for my daughter as well!! We still visit there once a month and will be moving there completely in February when I retire. Peter and I were just talking last time we were there that once we are there full time, we would like to take you and your Mom out to dinner to say thank you for all your help and patience.
Maggie M.
After searching for several months, and looking at several Florida properties we finally found the house that was right for us. Holly diligently worked with us and helped make the whole process, from beginning to end, go as timely and effortlessly as possible. We would highly recommend Holly's real estate services to family and friends, and would not hesitate to call on Holly for any future real estate needs in the Florida area.
