My husband and I moved to Colville recently from out of state. Ken Barcus was our agent, and proved to be very attentive to the many details involved in any move. He found the PERFECT home for us. Ken has a a very professional attitude and with his help, the entire moving experience went very smoothly - he even went the extra mile and stored our supply of frozen fish in his home freezer , as we arrived prior to the actual move in date. Now that's going the extra mile! He has continued to stay in touch with us after the move and made us feel very welcome to Colville. We would recomend Ken to anyone buying or selling a home.

Persistance paid off and thanks to Ken Barcus, our real estate agent, we're now building on our "dream property".  We came to Colville in search of a new home several years back and left discouraged because nothing we'd seen perked our interest.  Ken, however, assured us that he would continue to keep us apprised of all of the homes that fit our criteria & that indeed, he would find us what we wanted.  He was extremely knowledgeable & patient over the years as we continued to preview houses & eventually land too.  We decided maybe buying land and building our home was a better idea.  After 3 years, Ken's determination paid off, & now we are  thoroughly thrilled with our new investment and will begin building soon!  We discovered that there are many facets to buying a piece of real estate, and Ken's expertise in all areas was invaluable.  His advise and confidence was of unparalleled assistance to us in this important decision.  We can say with assurance, if you're looking for real estate- Ken will make "that extra effort" for you as well!

Ken Barcus was always very helpful and extremely knowledgable.  Selling our home was stressful at times, but talking to Ken would always put us in a good mood and back on the right track.  We always felt better after talking to Ken about our questions or concerns about the sale.  He made the home selling process very smooth.  Thank you so much Ken, we would reccomend you to anyone!

Thank you so much for the house warming basket!  What a fun assortment of goodies!  As if you haven't done a lot for us already.  We're getting settled in and kind of unpacked, but there's still a lot left to do.  With all of the nice weather we've been cleaning up the acreage.  We love it here, we love our house and we owe it all to you!  Thanks again Ken.

Ken Barcus was always pleasant to deal with and very professional.  He kept us from making mistakes and we really appreciated that.  He knew what we needed to do and communicated on a timely basis, so we weren't left hanging.  We would definately reccomend Ken to anyone we knew who wanted to buy in this area.  There were a few quirks but we got them all worked out.  He did a good job for us in selling our home, so we would suggest Ken to someone trying to sell their place as well.  Thanks again.

I don't want this to sound superfluous, but Ken is better than the proverbial Boy Scout in that he has more experience in addition to all the needed qualities to safely steer you through your real estate buying experience.  To say the least, I'm very satisfied with my relationship with Ken.  His overall real estate knowledge, in depth local martket info., and general savy and intelligence will keep you from the plethora of possible pitfalls when making your purchase.  Not to mention his drive - and the fact he's working for YOU when you're dealing with him.  Yes, Ken does get it!  He will succeed because he'll help you succeed.

Please call, e-mail or write me for a one-on-one recommendation.  By the way, I've promoted very, very few things/people in my lifetime.  I endorese Mr. Barcus wholeheartedly and recomment him to everyone for all your real estate needs.

As we all know, house-hunting and purchasing can be a harrowing experience.  We had contacted a few different agents in the course of looking for the "right" place.  When we found Ken, we felt we had hit the "mother load."  He was fabulous!  He engendered such trust that I knew he would find the place for us that was exactly what we wanted, and he did.  He worked hard and tirelessly on our behalf and when it came time for us to move, he also helped us find storage units (moving 500  miles with lots of animals and 28 years of stuff is difficult at best.)  I absolutely recomment Ken Barcus to anyone moving to this area.
Thank you Ken!  We haven't forgot the steak dinner you promised either :)
