My wife and I sold a condo that we purchased in 2006. After relocating to Chicago from Seattle in 2009, we checked in periodically with Barry to check the status of the Seattle condo market--hoping it would improve. Barry was always happy to consult with us and provide a thorough market analysis. Despite numerous instances that we tested the waters and decided to wait until a later time to list, Barry was invariably patient and professional, always prepared to take the time to give us advice and an objective outlook on the state of the Seattle condo market.
When it finally came time to list, Barry made the entire process extremely smooth and painless. He advised us on how best to prep the property for sale, connected us with an excellent staging service, and expertly guided us through every step leading up to the day of listing. He helped us decide on a listing price based on very relevant comparable properties in our neighborhood (Queen Anne).
Consequently, we received a full price offer after only four days on the market.
Closing went smoothly and Barry and his team kept us abreast of every step and nuance, managing the process and keeping track of every detail.
