"Selling our home with Jim and Laura was the best real estate transaction we have ever been a part of. They came to our home and gave us an estimate of what they thought they could sell it for - a number that was significantly above what we had been told by other agents. They were confident and immediately set to work showing the home to the many qualified buyers in their network. The contacts and clientele that Laura and Jim have are one of their great assets. Laura Barry is well-respected all over San Diego county, so when people heard that we were listed with them there was instant value in just having them handle our property. Laura and Jim were always responsive throughout the process and ultimately, they did what they promised, getting us top dollar for our home and making the stressful periods of inspection, escrow and closing, as seamless as possible. I don’t know any other agents that have work ethic, people skills, high-end client networks and real estate experience, like Jim and Laura. They are truly “lightning in a bottle”!"

"My husband and I just needed to downsize and started to interview the notable real estate agents in Rancho Santa Fe. Our first interview was with Laura Barry and Jim Graves. We canceled our other interviews and immediately selected Barry Estates to represent us. Laura and Jim and their office are the most professional, knowledgeable courteous, classy group imaginable. They know all the local activity and really know how to get the very best value throughout the negotiation process. The respect that other agencies give them, is well-earned. My husband and I have moved quite a lot and we would never consider anyone other than Laura and Jim to help us in the future."

"We recently sold our home in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. Laura Barry and Jim Graves and the rest of the team at their office handled the listing and sale. Their knowledge in the field of residential real estate is outstanding. From the inception of the listing to the day of closing - their guidance and expertise was unprecedented. Their continued review and analysis of the market was crucial to our listing price and the eventual sale of our home. Once in escrow, their expertise in guiding us through was paramount to the successful closing of our property. There is no one more intuitive to the market or experienced in getting your property sold. They are the best at what they do. If you want results, look no further than Laura Barry and Jim Graves and Barry Estates."

"Recently I had the pleasure of working with Laura Barry and Jim Graves from Barry Estates in a fast-moving real estate transaction. As a 30+ year resident of Rancho Santa Fe, I certainly knew of Laura Barry’s reputation as the consistent leader in the real estate sales. With the addition of Jim Graves to her team only made them stronger. For years, I had been looking for a unique Del Mar or Solana beach property that was closer to the ocean. I wasn’t pressured for a time frame as finding the right property was the most important factor. As a result, I did not engaged any agent and really enjoyed the search on my own, exploring. Durning that time I became acquainted with Laura and Jim viewing some of their open houses. I then noticed a brand-new listing in Del Mar and went to see it and immediately fell in love. What I also recognized was there was considerable interest from buyers. Multiple offers were coming in from day one. Knowing I had to move quickly I contacted Laura and Jim and an offer was generated with much speed and professionalism, it was impressive. More impressive was their knowledge of how to structure the offer given their experience in the market as well as their understanding of urgency. The process included counter offers, and also benefited from Laura and Jim’s positive reputation with the listing agent. Without it, it is doubtful I would have been able to secure this special property. Following the accepted offer, the professionalism continued from the entire Barry Estates team. No details were missed and the entire process was seamless, to say the least. I understand and value what it takes to deliver the level of service from this great team. "

"Team Laura Barry and Jim Graves came through for us again at a time when the market took a 180-degree turn for the worse. Three years ago we already had a very positive experience using Barry Estates in our RSF search. This time we signed up with them as our sales agent for our home. And again, they did not disappoint. By the time we sold our home it had only been on the market for eight weeks. The way they managed the sale was like a well-oiled machine, but one that applies a warm, personal touch. When you sign up with Barry Estates you do not only get 100% attention from its two principals but also from their talented support staff who are as attentive helpful and organized as one can only wish for. If you are planning to put your home on the market, I fully recommend them as your agent. They will get it done for you!"
