Why Work With Us?

"Barrie Wheeler is an incredible real estate broker. She is tireless as she tries to sell your home and equally committed when you’re looking to buy. We did both with her. Barrie goes beyond what you’d hope for: she is so knowledgeable, kind and easy to work with. We have been on a hunt for the right place for a while. Barrie got to know us and knew exactly where to point us. We just love working with her and recommend her with full enthusiasm!!!"

"We could not have gone through the process of selling our family home without Barrie's wonderful and tireless help. Barrie gives of herself over and beyond expectations. She is a lovely, professional, hard-working, sensible, and kind. My parents met Barrie when they were in their late 80’s and had lived in their home for almost 60 years. They fell in love with her upon first meeting but sadly, they died before having the opportunity to see their home find new owners.

“Barrie made sure that their home got ready to find a new family to fill it with life and love. She helped me and my brothers through every step of preparing to get the house ready (serving at times as project manager, clearing out and repair organizer, and therapist) and her knowledge of the market and dedication to finding the right buyers was a gift for which we will be forever grateful.

“Anyone would be lucky to be in Barrie's trustworthy and caring hands. She knows the market, the neighborhood, and any resources needed to clear out, repair, and sell a home. I am sure she's fabulous for all sellers but if you have aging parents contemplating selling their home, there's no one better. I will miss working with her because she's such a great person!"

"Barrie was outstanding in every way. We had a challenging situation, selling my mother’s multi-family home from across the country, getting my elderly mom moved and navigating tenants and Barrie was instrumental in coordinating every aspect. Her experience was quite evident as she helped us make tough decisions and she did it all with both professionalism and heart.

“It was an emotionally difficult process and we took great comfort in knowing that we could put our full trust in Barrie. She really went above and beyond."

"I highly recommend Barrie to be your real estate agent. Barrie handled the sale of my parents' condo in a professional, calm and experienced manner. With the benefit of hindsight, Barrie's advice throughout the process was spot-on and delivered without pressure. Barrie had a good feel for the market and did not over-promise on buyer interest, price, or timing. I'm sure that Barrie brings all of these tools to each of her clients."
 

“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 took on our Brookline condo under very difficult circumstances. She made herself very available for any potential buyers as well and kept me closely informed, which was especially important since I had moved out of state just as we put the property up for sale. I trusted her completely. She was so personable, honest, and even funny despite the circumstances, that she made a stressful situation so much more bearable. 

“Barrie got a wonderful buyer and a good price for us. I was very lucky to have worked with her.” 

"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!"

"We have worked with Barrie twice, and both times she was fantastic. Newton is a tough real estate market, and you need someone like Barrie who knows exactly how to navigate the market to succeed. She also helped us sell a home, and we received a number of fantastic offers with her advice on getting our home ready for sale. We highly recommend!"

"We worked with Barrie for 18 months to find a home. In an extremely competitive market, Barrie's experience, professional savvy, and quick response times were critical. She made insightful observations about neighborhoods and streets that we would have missed and there were offers we would have made on homes that would have been mistakes. She went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule so that we could attend open houses together. This strong work ethic, together with her candid feedback about each property, solidified our unwavering trust in Barrie.

“Barrie's patience and calm also helped us weather the frustrating ups and downs of a prolonged housing search. She looked at many different properties with us to help us narrow down exactly what kind of house and what neighborhoods we were looking for. Finally, she was able to work with us to secure a house with insightful counsel from offer placement, to closing, and beyond. Her extensive professional network provided us with excellent home inspectors, an incredibly responsive and available mortgage loan officer, and great legal representation during the offer and closing period — all of which made the closing process smooth and successful."

“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!”
