Barry was an amazing real estate agent for us. My husband and I are Americans who love Toronto and all of Canada. We found Barry online and we were impressed by his vast experience in the market. When we made a trip up to look at properties that would be suitable for retirement, Barry spent most of a day taking us around the city and explaining the differences between neighborhoods and what made different places more or less desirable for our situation. The next day we looked at apartments. We went home. Barry stayed in touch with us continually over the next few weeks, traveling to look at properties on our behalf and letting us know what he saw.
When we found a promising apartment for sale online, we trusted Barry completely to visit and give us his opinion. He liked the apartment, sent us photos and video, and discussed everything with us. When we made an offer, he went over all the ins and outs of the Canadian market. We ended up purchasing the apartment sight unseen, based entirely on his judgment. (We've closed on it, we've seen it, and it's perfect for us!)
I would recommend Barry unreservedly to ANY American who is looking to buy in the greater Toronto area. He is authoritative, outstandingly capable, calm under pressure, and a generally kind and pleasant person to work with. Thank you so much, Barry!
It was a pleasure working with Barry. He showed himself to be professional and knowledgeable. No time was wasted, and everything was properly completed with consideration and respect.His experience really showed as he was familiar with a variety of real estate lawyers, other realtors and the market in general. He was able to help us complete our transaction easily and quickly and with genuine caring. He showed himself to be ethical and of high standards. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I believe Barry's rich experience and skill in real estate to be invaluable, and his personability an appreciated assest to his provided service.
Barry has worked for Baycrest, an internationally-renowned academic care provider for seniors, for almost a year (to Dec 2015) in managing buy-backs for units in an independent living life lease/condo building.
He has dealt very professionally with all our residents and families and is widely respected for his professional approach.
Thank you Barry.

When I engaged Barry to represent me as my Agent I was dealing with a very difficult situation with ongoing obstacles. Barry's knowledge of Real Estate law and his vast court experience proved to be of great benefit to my situation. His guidance throughout the process was right on and put me in a solid position. He came in with a marketing plan and executed it leaving me more than impressed. His negotiation skills are excellent. He was able to negotiate a sale price that was well above expectations. His knowledge of the market and area greatly contributed to this.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Barry as my Agent. I don't take referrals lightly and I can honestly say that I would only refer my friends and family to Barry because of my confidence that he does an incredibly excellent job.
