Testimonials

Having Barry as our broker was invaluable, particularly since we had worked with Barry almost fifteen years prior. Barry’s long-term knowledge of the Outer Banks market gave us a competitive advantage, and his vast experience allowed us to have realistic expectations regarding the sale of our property. We were briefed at every stage of the process, and given data-driven advice regarding how best to proceed in our negotiations with potential buyers. Most importantly, the combination of Barry’s background, experience, drive and realism meant that once the house was on the market, the interval between the time the house was listed and the property was under contract was remarkably brief. So it is without hesitation that we enthusiastically recommend Barry if one is looking for a broker who is up-front, knowledgeable and a  pleasure to work with whether one is considering buying or selling property in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
