We needed a realtor to help with finding a house for our move from California to Illinois. We had a challenge of finding a house remotely, and we had some specific requirements about the area, neighborhood, schools, as well as the price. Luckily, our friends recommended Barry Newman. Having a technology background, I can truly appreciate the system that Barry set up for us. Every day we would get pre-selected listings from Barry, review them, and get his detailed comments on pros and cons for each property.

When it was time for us to look at the properties we've picked in person, we had very limited time, and Barry had accommodated all our requests, driving us around the area and providing very insightful little details on each little neighborhood. Such level of knowledge is unattainable by someone who had not lived the entire life in the area, like Barry had. We could tell that Barry is well-respected in his circles by observing him communicating with other agents.

After we settled on the house we liked, Barry helped us greatly through all the steps of the process. In addition to knowing what to look for when buying a house, Barry also can easily tap into his network of attorneys, inspectors, loan brokers, and contractors.

In our opinion, the best part about working with Barry is that he protects his clients' interests, making sure that they get the right property at the right price. It is not common to get a privilege to work with a true professional, who is passionate and knowledgeable about his business. We strongly recommend Barry's services and will gladly use him again for our next real estate transaction.
