This is the second time I've worked with Barry on a property purchase and was just as satisfied as the first time. I sold my house in the suburbs and opted to move into a condo in the city. Initially, I was hesitant to call Barry as many of my colleagues told me that I had to use a broker who focuses only on city properties as there are too many unique nuances to purchasing a condo in the city of Chicago. Based on my previous experience and relationship with Barry, I decided to subvert the advice of my colleagues and reached out to Barry anyway. I was happy I did, as Barry had very good understanding of the different neighborhoods in Chicago, in terms of the qualities I was looking for (demographics, price, entertainment, proximity to express way and public transportation, etc.) Barry also understood the "bidding war" concept that happens often in the city when there is a lot of interest in a place. The day I found my condo, I actually initially like a different place and Barry encourages me to put offers in on both in the case that I was outbid on the first place. It turned out exactly as he had thought and I ended getting an accepted offer on the second place, which in hindsight is actually the better choice in terms of construction quality and location so I am VERY happy. I would continue to use Barry for any future real estate transactions and will highly recommend him to others.
