"Mr Barry Brown was just the right agent for us in selling our house. We have not done a sale of a house in nearly 30 years. And we are not very computer savvy. Mr Brown was extremely helpful and beneficial to us in negotiating all aspects of the transaction. Mr Brown was very tech savvy and demonstrated that to us on numerous occasions. His marketing was outstanding with the use of drone video, materport pictures ,online presentation and use of multiple MLS advertising .
For all the previous reasons and for his knowledge and experience, but mostly for his patience with us we would highly recommend Barry Brown for any real estate transactions"

"Our home search was rather difficult as we lived 200 Miles away and had a pretty tight list of what we were looking for. In today's market you have to move fast as properties are being snapped at a record pace. Barry would send us prospects, we would look and see if we were interested, and if so he would arrange for a tour or on many occasions did a video tour for us. When it came to making an offer, he is very thorough and walked us through every step. During the counteroffer process his guidance due to his years of experience helped us secure the property that we wanted without going crazy upping the offer. Barry is the most competent Realtor we have ever worked with. If you are selling or buying, Barry is your guy!"

"Barry Brown has efficiently and successfully completed four previous real estate transactions for us. If Mr. Brown is still an active broker when we have future real estate needs we will most definitely seek his pro9fessional help.
In spite of Covid 19 and the restrictions placed upon all real estate dealings we feel we were fully and professionally represented.
Barry Brown helped us navigate through the needs of our buyers.
We sold quickly and had a very short escrow that was kept going by Mr. Brown and his excellent abilities.
What else can I say all was great."

"Barry Brown led us through a successful marketing, showing, escrow, and closing of our property. He understood our needs and was very receptive and responsive, and a great communicator. We could reach him by phone, email, or text, and he answered our questions right away. Barry is very knowledgeable about the city and county and helped us price the home well for a quick sale. His marketing of the property was exceptional and really helped buyers see the property online which was reflected in what they saw in person. I highly recommend Barry Brown and will look forward to working with him again for our real estate needs."

"Barry is very knowledgeable in the geographic area, real estate rules and regs, his sincerity, honesty and overall capabilities in photography, marketing, and he is an all around fine person.
Barry is a pro with vast knowledge of real estate rules, regulations and how to market your property. We had a very good experience with two transactions, and we would certainly use Barry again if circumstances arise. Thank you Barry. We were prepared to take much longer than what occurred in selling our home. Good offer with very little time actively selling, which made it easier for us to purchase another home and have virtually simultaneous closings. Barry's follow through has been excellent, before, during the transaction, and after the close."

"Heard about Barry from a friend. He had some interactions with him while looking for a home but had not gotten into the home buying Part yet, he had just been looking. Said Barry had been great for all that so it was a leap of faith that he would be awesome during the actual buying process and not just during the house search. We were not disappointed ! Barry exceeded all expectations in finding us our home
Barry navigated the house showing excellently even with the COVID pandemic. Never felt pressured and never saw a house that wasn’t something we were looking for . Barry doesn’t usually work in the Paso area (usually sticks to the 5 cities area ) but he did his research and provided us with all the information on areas we were looking, avg home prices and all relevant info . It was impressive for not having much experience in the area how much information he was able to provide us. The handling of contracts was fast, easy, and informative. We learned a lot and he made sure we understood everything and taught us what we were doing not just told us to sign because we had to. He also helped us navigate negotiations smoothly and provides us with options to get the best results and not over or under selllkng ourselves .
Multiple failed bids and he encouraged us to never get discouraged. He kept us focused and was always available 7 days a week to answer questions or get us information on a listing .. kept us competitive during a very competitive market and kept us from settling for something we didn’t absolutely love or over paying for something we couldn’t afford . He was awesome and I would recommend him to anybody because he was excellent and made our first home buying experience pleasant and easy
We worked directly with Barry and no one else in his staff but we did meet his wife Sherie and she was also lovely and so kind!
Couldn’t imagine a better first time home buying experience than what Barry provided us! We gained a friend and hope he has no plans of leaving the real estate business for a long time so we can use him again when we are ready to move to a bigger home when our family outgrows our new house ! With Barry Brown You get A++++++ real estate experience and skills you want from an agent with an A++++++++ character and kindness you want from anyone you are trusting to guide you through a new experience and a huge financial investment"

"The other agent that came by valued our house at a lower price than we expected, spent about 20 minutes total with us, and left us feeling like they underpriced properties in order to sell them really quick and make money through volume.
Barry spent time with us, was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the type of sale we were doing, and made us feel like he would work really hard to get the house sold at a much higher price. We ended up closing below asking price but far above the other agent’s recommended price. It took longer but was absolutely the right call, and Barry was a huge part of that."

"Barry Brown was one of two realtors provided during a company driven relocation from California to Virginia. Barry’s initial Buyer’s Market Analysis was instrumental in our decision to choose him to represent us during this home sale. He recognized and understood all the effort that we put into making the home our own and priced the home accurately within a unique local market. He totally outclassed the competition.
Barry’s experience in his field stood out time and time again with all aspects of this sale and he was on the top of his game from day one. His communication was timely and spot on. He handled adversity with ease and I’m certain he took care of many issues behind the scenes. Barry was honest in his recommendations when it came to dealing with my own personal biases and handling undervalued offers. His understanding of how the process works, and his ability to explain that process in a comprehensive manor helped guide us to a quick and successful sale.
Barry and his wife Sherie were very helpful with getting everything just right. She knew her stuff when it came to the Matterport camera, a technical marvel on it’s own. On a personal note, she entertained my wife with cat stories and kept her engaged in the home sale process. She and Barry made great working partners. Barry was very responsive to requested changes and his knowledge of what needed to happen and how we get there. He made the best of our accelerated time frame and his use of the Matterport camera system was instrumental in getting a quick sale
My overall experience reaffirms my initial choice in realtors to represent us during this sale. Every step of the way, Barry’s experience and recommendations proved that our decision to go with him was the correct one. We could not have been more satisfied with the result and we made a friend in the process!!"

"We met with Barry Brown by chance when he was the listing agent on a property and we're so thankful we did. He's the best! Barry was willing to meet us on short notice and he was always knowledgeable about the property and surrounding area. When it finally came time to move on a property, he shepherded us through the entire process - offering fantastic advice or recommendations when needed. For a first time home-buyer that meant the world to us, and I have no doubt that should we need to find another property in the future, he'd be our first call."

"I’ve bought and sold 10 properties in my life and Barry is by far the best agent I’ve ever used. He has strong market knowledge and is completely committed to his work and to his customers’ success. This particular home was in a fairly expensive bracket and was a tough sell, but Barry put together a great sales strategy and spent almost every weekend holding the house open to get it over the finish line. He dealt with challenging buyers and helped me negotiate the best possible result with our buyers. He never faltered and kept up timely communication with both sides in spite of some tricky situations that arose during the sale. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Barry as your agent!"

"AMAC had an ad in their magazine about using them to find a realtor and we decided to try it. Barry was the Realtor assigned to us and when we met with him, he was vey knowledgeable about the area and helped us understand how to set our price. As we went through the 11 month process of getting our house sold Barry was always available to answer questions and give us advice.
Barry was always professional and very interested in helping us with the sale of our home. Questions were answered promptly. We always knew if we needed to be in touch with Barry we would be able to talk with him."

Along with his patient, helpful, polite and funny personality, Barry constantly brings his A-game to provide his customers the best possible deal on their new home.
Highly recommended!"

"Barry is phenomenal. He came highly recommended by my brother who purchased two homes with Barry’s help. We didn’t consider other brokers because he was so highly recommended. We did not regret that decision.
Barry told us out the outset that he would make buying a home easier. He did not disappoint. He was with us every step of the way, was easily accesible with all questions that we had. He gave sage advice.
Barry is amazing. He is a consummate professional
Barry did everything in his power to make this experience seamless. He went above and beyond, even hunting down the seller’s agent and making sure that the gas was turned on so the furnace could be inspected. He met out in the evening and on weekends to show houses and sign paperwork."
