TESTIMONIALS
​
​
“Over the course of my career I have bought and sold multiple properties and I can say my experience with Brian Barrios has been among the best. Not only did he negotiate effectively on my behalf, but his thorough documentation throughout escrow made the transaction as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy an apartment building.”
-Justin E., Real Estate Investor
​
“Brian Barrios was extremely helpful in my latest acquisition. His patience and positive attitude were critical to both parties achieving their goals. I appreciated Brian’s honesty and integrity.”
-Glenn, Multi-Family Investor
​
“I am the owner of an apartment building in Santa Barbara that Brian Barrios is selling for me. I have bought and sold many properties in my 70 years, but I have never had an agent who was as conscientious and diligent as Brian. His persistence and attention to detail have made this complicated transaction much easier than the house that we are selling through another agency. I have a daily comparison of the two agencies and the service that Brian delivers is far superior. I live on the east coast so Brian has had to do much more for me than he would have if I was local and he has been available 24/7 to solve problems. Also, his experience in commercial real estate has kept the headaches of selling a property in California to a minimum. We will close in 4 days. I have the highest praise for Brian as a person and as an agent. I will recommend him without reservation to anyone.”

“Brian recently sold our 52 unit in Ventura with great success reflected in a sales price 25% above market. He has the capacity to work through difficult deal breaking obstacles that would normally result in escrow termination. It is my pleasure to recommend Brian because he is a hardworking and determined businessman.”
-Mark B., Multifamily Investor
​
“I highly recommend working with Brian Barrios. He lives in and works daily on the Central Coast markets, and thus has a deep knowledge on market pricing and pipeline. Brian is available at all times via text, email and phone, even late nights, weekends, and when picking up his kids. As an investor, I enjoy working with Brian because he comes from a principal investor background, which makes it easy to analyze and communicate on deals. If you want a ‘boots on the ground’ broker that is out there knocking on doors and cold calling, Brian is your Broker.”

“I’ve seen Brian Barrios figuratively beat a dead horse back to life. He’s seriously that good.”
-Lesley, Investor
​
“I appreciate the effort you have shown me in these many years we have been doing business together. Since we met in 2005, few brokers have demonstrated as much effort or tenacity in their pursuit of generating business as you. I look forward to continued success between us. Thank you.”

“Brian personally keeps in tight contact with property owners and buyers and has an almost gifted knack as a real estate matchmaker. As a result, a few months ago he found a property that, while not officially listed, was just perfect for my exchange. It has been a joy working with him, and I would highly recommend him to any potential client in a heartbeat!”
-I.K., Multifamily Investor
​
“Brian Barrios recently represented me in the sale of a 26 unit apartment complex in Ventura. He was extremely competent and knowledgeable of the market yet very low key. He was patient and very professional at all times. He was able to guide both the buyer and the seller, and made a very difficult process bearable and successful for everyone. I would highly recommend him.”
-N. Donaldson, DH Properties

“I don’t have the highest regard for how the typical property transaction system is set up meaning Realtors only get paid if a deal goes through. My opinion is this can bring on an environment of less discussion for the best way to proceed, or worse, a withholding of pertinent information simply to close the deal. While I’ve not actually gone through a deal with Brian at this point, I have referred him business and they have been very grateful for the recommendation. After many meetings and conversations, I feel confident I would use him as my broker. Why, because Brian wants future business from me. He’s able to see the long term investment in his clients for repeat business, as well as good recommendations. His mentality is that everyone can win in a transaction. That is a very important ideology I respect and want in a broker. Additionally, Brian is excellent at reaching out to current owners who may be willing to sell if the deal is good, and keeping a list of their properties. He does this leg work, and thus he’s also a valuable resource for unlisted properties that can make a transaction work that might not otherwise. Meet with Brian and get to know him, and you’ll see for yourself where I’m coming from.”

“I am pleased to recommend Brian as an outstanding agent. Brian was referred to me by a mutual friend who also owns investment real estate. I was feeling desperate in my search for a replacement property to be used in a 1031 Exchange. The properties he presented were not found on any listing. No other agent informed me of any of these addresses, although many knew of my quest to find a replacement property. I believe each of his clients would say the same: He is the hardest working real estate agent you will find.”
-K.G., Private Investor
​
“Brian helped me sell an apartment in Santa Barbara recently (I was an out of town owner). Being a broker in charge of his own business, and with his knowledge of the listing and closing process, it made this sale go very smoothly. I think Brian’s network of contacts, agents and escrow definitely made the difference.”
