What clients are saying...

Barry's superpower is that he understands both people and market data, and comes across as quite genuine as a result.

His ability to communicate with all parties and understand the positions of the buyers and sellers is what makes his advice immensely helpful. He knew which sellers were likely to budge, and which were just going to stick their heels in the mud until someone was foolish enough to overpay. He knew which sellers were looking to move quickly and which were hoping to stick around for a bit after the sale.

And whenever we prepared to make an offer, I felt assured that the combination of Barry's extensive knowledge of the local area combined with my own research led us to propose reasonable and competitive bids. As a client who is also highly analytical, I appreciated his straightforward and logical approach.

In addition, Barry's ability to recommend skilled professionals for evaluating our prospective homes was invaluable and steered us clear of a couple potentially expensive projects. We went through a bit of heartbreak a couple of times as a result, but have no doubt it was for the best. After spending an entire summer house-hunting with Barry, we finally found the perfect home in a ridiculously challenging market. I could not be happier. 100% highly recommended. A+++.

Barry is outstanding. He assisted me in both the sale of my house and the purchase of a new one. My sale was part of a divorce and my ex used another agent. Having the opportunity to see how Barry handled working with another agent and how competent he was compared to her was eye opening. Not only did he and his team market our property to a level I have not seen for other properties it produced a sale price that exceeded my expectations. 

When buying I faced multiple offers and had to make quick decisions while in the middle of an operation. The process Barry took me through in advance had me fully prepared to adjust my strategy on the fly. His skill and experience building relationships with the listing Realtor and collection of timely information on other area sales allowed him to advise me competently during the fluid state of the multiple offer process. While my final offer on the wonderful home I purchased was ultimately successful had it not been accepted, I would have been content with the outcome. Under Barry's guidance and expertise it was easy to adjust my price and conditions in the few minutes I had while in the middle of surgery. Thank you Barry. I love my new home and the process of moving on was made significantly easier with you in my corner.

Barry helped us sell our home and years later when the right one came on the market buy our next one. We were downsizing and under his quick action and guidance we listed and sold just as the market had peaked. We had one showing and Barry negotiated an over asking price when there was only one offer. Had we waited a week longer to list we think it would have taken months longer. Had Barry not managed the first showing and Realtor as he did we surely would not have received as much as we did. 

Going from a house to an apartment was a difficult process for us and we had specific requirements. Barry showed us what felt like a hundred condos. The lovely condo we eventually bought had previously taken a quick offer that could not remove conditions. By building good relationships with the listing Realtor and following up, Barry was able to get us an accepted offer before the property went back to the general market. Shortly after they accepted our offer a backup offer for more than ours was received. 

Selling and buying was a difficult emotional process made wonderful and successful because of Barry. We refer him to all our friends and family.

I have known Barry for over 20 years. As a mortgage broker, I had the opportunity to work in the same office as him. During this time I was able to observe him in not only how he handled his clients but how he conducted himself when interacting with other Realtors on his client's behalf. The character of an individual is most evident when you have a chance to observe them behind closed doors. It is because of the honorable and true character, honesty and client first approach Barry conducts his business that I observed that I refer all my friends and family to him. Not only is he exceptional at his craft, I fully and completely trust him with the business of the people I care most about.

When my elderly mother was finally convinced to move out of my child hood home and into an apartment it was a very difficult time. Dementia had started to set in and mom had always said she would never move. Barry showed outstanding empathy, patience and compassion for her. He was reliable and provided stability on an emotional roller coaster. His advice, data driven guidance and negotiating skills to get us the maximum price for an old tear down home was valuable. He deeply understands what is going on in the market and really does his homework. He helped us buy a condo close to our own winning out against other offers and when she passed made the last and difficult sale as easy as possible with great results. Barry is a wonderful person whom we are grateful to have worked with.
