Here's what some of my clients have said about me ....
Re: Sale of 44 Centorian Drive, Windsor Park - "Barry was the agent for the sale of my farnily home of over 27 years during May 2022. I found him very professional in his approach, knowledgeable and conscientious, but overall I valued his qualities of honesty and trustworthiness. With the downturn in the housing market, it was a challenging timo, but Barry was always positive and nothing was too much trouble for him. He listened carefully to my concerns and how I wanted the property advertised. The advertising materials were excellent and after each weekend of open hornes, he communicated clearly about how the open homes went. I was nervous about having an on-site auction, but the Harcourts auction process went very well and the house sold on the day, giving a great result in a short time frame. Barry was a pleasure to work with and I felt well-informed and supported throughout the whole process. I would recommend Barry as a first-class real estate agent."
"Barry was just what I needed. He is an estate agent who not only knows his stuff but he is realistic and does all the work for you. Within less than a week he did his market research, gave me his professional house appraisal figure and came up with a marketing plan. Of course everyone wants millions for their property but Barry will tell you what its true worth is. I read his market research carefully and I found it to be well based. It was up to me if I wanted to listen to his professional advice or not and I am glad I did. We discussed how to get the best price for my property and within a month it was sold – at the appraisal price Barry had calculated. Furthermore he not only explained the new requirements which have come into law but also took care of everything including liaising these nitty gritty technical details and glitches with my lawyer as well as the purchaser’s lawyer. Also every week he would report to me the stats on viewings, genuine interests, and so on. In other words I got accurate professional advice, weekly feedback and he took care of everything else. This gave me great peace of mind!. He was also at the other end of the line whenever I wanted to ask him any questions. I would definitely recommend Barry to anyone. There is so much more to selling a property than just listing it on the internet!"
"We have bought a house and sold two with Barry as our agent and we can’t speak highly enough about him. His service is above and beyond and he always keeps you in the picture with what is going on. He certainly made the whole process for us a lot easier and we would highly recommend him to anyone."
"Last year we listed our home in Murrays Bay with Barry Martin. We found Barry most professional in every aspect. Our home achieved a great price and we were very pleased with Barry's efforts on our behalf. Last month we found ourselves in a situation whereby our ageing mother/mother in law had decided to sell the family home which was also in Murrays Bay. We had no hesitation that Barry would be the ideal person to guide our elderly relative through this transition. Barry again achieved an amazing price for the home through the auction process. Barry gently explained and reassured her every step of the way which was a challenging and delicate process. He met every demand that family requested of him. Barry went above and beyond the call of duty. For anyone with elderly parents who want to place their home on the market you could not be in better hands. Little issues that popped up were quickly addressed and sorted so that having a home for sale became a smooth easy process with absolute minimum stress. We strongly recommend Barry as an ideal person to list a property with. He is kind patient discreet sympathetic and compassionate to the needs of the elderly. You can rest assured your expectations will not just be met they will be exceeded."
"Thank you so much Barry for all your help in selling my family home after so many years. Family and friends predicted it would be very traumatic for me but with your guidance it was a very smooth process for me. I would happily recommend your assistance to anyone requiring your services in the future. Thanks again for being so efficient reassuring kind and caring. Kind regards Jean"
"Thank you for all your work leading to the sale of our property in Okura. We appreciate your professional manner and the extra running around you did for us with regards to our new property. We found your service to be above our expectations. We would highly recommend Glenfield Harcourts. Thanks and regards."
"We have recently bought and sold our home and found the whole experience a million times less stressful than we thought we would. What made the whole process a success for us was our agent - Barry Martin. From day one Barry was honest, helpful and listened to what we wanted. Hence the second property he showed us we brought! He knew what we wanted and never wasted our time showing us properties that we would love but couldn't afford. Not believing that it could be that easy to find we viewed other properties with other agents - there was no comparison - they just didn't meet our criteria! Barry took care of us, advised us and steered us honestly and openly into our new home. It was the easiest and best move we could have made. Thank you Barry"
"Thank you so much for helping me achieve my dream of becoming a home owner! I really appreciate the time you spent with me showing houses, your honesty, patience and support throughout it all. Thank you for treating me not just as a person but as a friend - there needs to be more agents like you!!!
