Barrie Wheeler

“I have worked with Barrie several times in the last 7 years. She has sold two single family homes for us in Brookline and helped us purchase two homes.  She recommended contractors and stagers to prepare our homes for sale and utilized exceptional marketing materials that helped us sell our home within one week for an excellent price and managed the negotiations with expertise.  “Barrie is the ultimate professional. She is caring, extremely knowledgeable and profoundly experienced. Everything with Barrie was seamless, from the open houses she ran to her deep network of inspectors, mortgage brokers, and repair people who were responsive on a moment's notice.  Selling and buying a house is very stressful and Barrie was always patient and understanding. “Working with Barrie, it was very clear how highly regarded she is in the Greater Boston Real Estate market. I recommend Barrie unconditionally.”

"Barrie is incredible. She helped us find and purchase the perfect home for us and sell our home to enable that purchase. She found a private listing for the house we purchased and then skillfully negotiated to get our offer accepted. Once that offer was accepted, she got our current house on the market in five days, with several solid offers within days of listing. She was our guide, our counselor, and our strategist. She thought about how to price, how to market, how to negotiate and how to close the deal. She brings so much experience and expertise - and a massive network of contacts to help with staging, marketing, inspections, etc.  “She held our hand through what was one of the most nerve-wracking things we've ever done, always providing calm, reasoned answers but also always telling it to us straight. Most of all, Barrie is just eminently trustworthy. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!"

“Barrie is an absolute gem and has become of real friend.   Barrie helped my mom find a house several years ago, just after we had already found a house. Even though she was not our agent, she helped us find local service providers and I wished I had worked with her when we were looking. I recommended friends to Barrie and all of them loved her. They also found GREAT homes. “In February 2021, when we decided to sell our home and look for a new home, Barrie advised us on how to best prepare our home for sale.   She created beautiful marketing materials with great photography, website, 3D tour, floor plans and prose.  She set up 50 individual showings over the course of 4 days to insure that Covid-19 protocols were followed to keep buyers and our home safe.   After the weekend, we received ten offers and she helped us review all of them, negotiate the best price and terms and navigate the appraisal process in this rapidly ascending market.   “Then the real challenge started - finding a house in this market. Barrie has unbelievable knowledge about the area and when an appropriate home came on the market, she made sure that we got into the house the day it went on the market and crafted an offer that the seller accepted that day before other buyers had a chance to see it.  Since our offer was accepted, she has also taken care of everything - scheduling inspectors, finding contractors...everything!  We love her and trust me when I say that you are missing out if you don’t pick Barrie!”

“Barrie made the house purchase easy and friendly. As first-time buyers we had no clue regarding the process and Barrie was attentive and relaxing. She guided us through the stages of the purchase, gave us great advice and knew exactly the right professionals that needed to be brought in at any stage. She is highly familiar with greater Boston real estate market and the different regulations and trends.”

"Barrie is wonderful to work with. In addition to the criteria for your 5-star rating, she is a lovely, honest person who listens to what you want and helps you refine your needs and expectations. Barrie is completely trustworthy, calm and never pushy. I recommend her without reservation. Barrie is the best!"

"Barrie provided us with very accurate assessment of the local market, including recent and relevant comps in her analysis. She provided constructive evaluation of our home so that we could address items that would put the house in best position to appeal to the broadest selling demographic, especially during late fall -- not the optimum time for selling a house. She was extremely responsive and reliable, and helped us sell our house very quickly. She was honest and very easy to work with. We recommend her highly."

"I feel so lucky that we found Barrie- she was indispensable both for helping us buy our home in Newton and helping us get the best possible price when a job change moved us out of state. When we were searching for our home, it was clear she knew the Newton market quite well, and her advice was always spot-on. When we finally found the perfect home for us, she quickly figured out what we needed to do to put our offer over the top. And when we sold, we had offers at 5-10% over asking price. We've used 2 other Realtors (in other markets) and while they were friendly and helpful, neither matched Barrie for responsiveness, negotiation skills, and advice."

“From the very beginning of the process, Barrie made us feel we were in excellent hands for the sale of our condo. This could have been a stressful time, but she took all stress away. She provided personal and knowledgeable support from the beginning to the closing. Barrie listened to us, truly heard what we were saying, and moved us steadily to our goals. It was a pleasure to work with her. “We would highly recommend Barrie to anyone looking to sell a property.”

“I told my husband I was going to leave a testimonial for Barrie and said that I assumed he had no objection. His immediate, unguarded response was: ‘I LOVE Barrie. She’s been great!’ That pretty much sums it up, but here’s some detail. We have used Barrie for two simultaneous home sale and home purchase episodes, in 2012 and 2018. They involved four properties in Brookline, Newton and Winthrop. We got well over our asking price on the sales, received expert information about the neighborhoods we wanted to purchase into, and she handled all negotiations in a firm but professional manner. Super responsive and friendly. We never considered anyone else for our 2018 transactions given our experience with her in 2012. I recommend her without qualification, and anyone deciding to work with her is in for a real treat.”
