In an industry known for gamesmanship and pressure, our experience with Barry was very straightforward and stress-free(at least as stress-free as one might hope for in the Peninsula market). Barry was very conscientious in trying to understand what my wife and I were looking for, and he was very patient and flexible with his time. He is well-connected in the local market and makes the extra effort to understand the underlying story with a given property and seller/agent pair. When rubber hits the road on presenting offers and working a deal closure, Barry maintains strong communication and a level head. It was clear that even after many years of being in the business, he still genuinely enjoys the hunt. Even after we closed on our him, Barry has continued to be an asset, offering us assistance and no-BS referrals that have made our transition that much easier. Thank you, Barry.

Barry helped my wife and I purchase our first home and he was a true professional from start to finish. As first time buyers, we had a ton of questions and were slightly cautious heading in to the competitive housing market this Summer. He was patient, knowledgeable and always asked questions and made suggestions with our best interests in mind. He took the extra time and effort to set expectations for us early on and walked us through every step of the way. He also helped us put together a top notch real estate team that really gave us a leg up from the competition. When it came time to make the offer on our dream home, he moved fast and was tenacious given we were in a multiple offer situation. He followed up regularly and always kept us in the loop. We ended up getting the house despite the 6 other offers that were on the table! We are so fortunate to have worked with Barry and are absolutely thrilled to be in our new home. Not only is Barry an expert in the local market, but he delivered exceptional customer service and I was also struck by his sincere passion for his work and for helping people. Barry is an absolute rock star and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy real estate.

Barry worked with us to find our home in the Burlingame/Millbrae area. As first time homebuyers we were new to the process. Barry spent time with us to explain how the process works, what goes into a home purchase contract, and most importantly, what it takes to put together a competitive offer. When it came time to see homes, Barry was there with us to tell us more about each property we were considering. For each property we bid on, Barry was able to tell us approximately what we would need to offer to win(and most of the time he was spot-on!). Finally, when we got our offer accepted, Barry followed up regularly to make sure everything went right and that we would close. The Bay Area is a tough market for buyers but Barry gave us the leg up we needed to get into our dream home. He is the agent you need in order to get ahead of the competition and get into the property you want. We would recommend Barry to anyone looking for a home in the Bay Area.

Barry just helped my wife and me to close a townhouse in Peninsula, Bay Area. He provides the highest quality of service, and even after the deal has been closed he is helping us with moving in. During our property search, Barry diligently pursued to present us with endless opportunities, sending letters out to potential sellers, which finally worked out. He is the one who will go to the seller agent office personally to deliver an offer and even did a presentation for us to persuade the seller to choose our offer rather than the 7 other offers. I believe this is the service people rarely get anywhere else. So I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Barry to any person who is looking to buy a home.
