About Barry
I initially began my career in real estate as a consultant to public agencies in 1992 and have negotiated hundreds of residential and commercial real estate transactions. My role was as a negotiator of property rights as needed for public transportation projects. This experience is where I learned about the idiosyncrasies of real estate contracts, title issues, financing, zoning, permitting, negotiations and the appraisal process. My training, guidance and instruction was directly from subject matter experts, i.e. attorneys, appraisers, title experts and engineers to name a few. This experience has prepared me well for a career as a Realtor and gives me a clear advantage over my competitors, since most real estate agents lack this training.
I decided to become a Realtor nearly 20 years ago for a variety of reasons. First, I have a passion for home ownership and learned the value of real estate for investment purposes at an early age; having bought my first home in my 20s with some assistance and guidance from my father, who always believed in real estate for investment purposes. In addition, I have purchased and renovated several rental properties of my own. This gave me hands on experience and knowledge of building products/materials, cutting tile, laying drywall, hanging fixtures, the construction process, home décor and staging. Nearly every home I have owned has appreciated in value. My transition from consulting to becoming a Realtor was an easy one; and my clients truly appreciate the knowledge I pass on to them from my experience and training.
My objective is to always protect the interests of my clients and get them the best price and terms possible. In addition to educating them to make the buying/selling process understandable and stress-free. I take allot of pride in my ability to acknowledge people’s needs and listen to their concerns; along with being responsive and easily accessible on a daily basis. I also truly believe in the “win-win” approach to negotiating and always strive to provide superior service to my clients, which at times includes referring them to my network of industry associates/partners, such contractors, property managers, home inspectors and lenders. My relationship goes beyond the closing and my clients know that they can contact me any time for advice and consultation.
I have had the fortunate opportunity to have been involved with hundreds of different types of real estate transactions and a unique background, which most Realtors do not have. Knowledge is power and I read situations quickly; then guide my clients with winning advice helping them to attain their goals in price and timing during each transaction.

Barry Sullivan is a top-notch realtor. I was involved in a very tenuous and lengthy real estate transaction with my prior home using a different realtor Barry was extremely proactive even before this house sold and throughout the entire process in finding me the perfect house . He is very detail oriented and spent time finding out what kind of house I wanted to live and in what kind of neighborhood and didn’t waste my time sending listings that I would not be interested in. Once we found the house, he negotiated a great price that was far below market value. He also negotiated the entire list seller of paid repairs because of the home inspection and even helped me line up contractors after the transaction. What is unique and refreshing about Barry as a realtor is his focused attention to the smaller details, his excellent and timely communication with his clients, and his overall knowledge of the market and how it pertains to the home buying and selling process. There are many realtors to choose from, but with Barry you are getting the consummate professional to make the buying or selling process a great experience. I highly recommend Barry to everyone I know that is looking for realtor services!

Barry is a good agent and helped me sold my property a few years ago. My only advice to him is to demonstrate that he cares more about his clients well being. Owners appreciate agents who are willing to go the extra mile and "getting their hands dirty" in terms getting the place ready or even making a Home Depot run etc.. Additionally, it makes us want to recommend you to others because we trust you'll take very good care of them.

I was impressed with Barry from the very beginning with his knowledge and guidance in purchasing my new home. Communication was key in finding that home initially - Barry was always available by email, text, and cell phone - it was usually within minutes that I would get a respond back to me to schedule an appointment to walk through an open house tour. Barry answered all my questions in detail thoroughly during the entire process for me and kept the mortgage lender informed with status on completion of inspections, etc. He worked diligently with the Listing Agent in getting all necessary addendums prepared and fully executed by all parties. Barry's connections in this current market assisted me in obtaining a very professional Home Inspector. I would recommend Barry Sullivan to all family and friends. I was extremely fortunate from my point of view to have secured him as the Buyer's Agent in the purchase of my new home. In fact, whenever that time comes down the road - I fully intend to contact him to represent me from the Listing Agent side in selling my home.
