Specialties

Five Percent Commission, in today’s cyber-access world? Try 1 or 2%!

We believe that in the Internet Age, consumers want more choices than in the “Paper Age”…So, we work for you, as YOU desire: by the hour, by a flat fee, by a “discounted contingent fee”, and by a “full service at lower cost”, if desired. See our web site for details, or call us.

What we “do not do” is also a specialty. We do not do “Dual Agency” When we represent the seller, we will not also act as a buyer’s agent, which should make you, the seller, rest easy, not having to wonder “whose side are we on.?”

Back in 1983, MONEY Magazine wrote about us, so we are not “new to the game”…

History

Established in 1980

We first started in realty, in 1979…., working for the legendary Real Estate instructor, Bob Plotkowski, who we still remember, even though he rejected our great recommendation for a motto: “Let Plotkowski be your house key”

Two years later, we started J.Barry Realtors, which has since morphed into “BarryHillRealtors.com….

One other distinction: We don’t tie you up for a “30 day, 60 day, or 90 day listing… You are free to change Realtor sany time you desire.

If you are viewing this, and have a story of how a consumer of Realty service got hammered by a crooked or stupid “professional”…let us hear about it here.

This is “Realty Noir” ( ” It was a dark and stormy night in my new home, and the water was pouring in, through the roof that didn’t leak…so the seller told me.
The seller’s realtor was also my Realtor. How could I have been so stupid.?”..
….stuff like this is what we want to lay out on the table, for the autopsy…
