Why Work With Us?

"Helen and I want to thank you for your help in marketing and selling my sister’s condo in Newton.  We were impressed by your professionalism from the first time we met.  You had good suggestions as to what needed to be done in preparing the property for sale.  You thoroughly explained the process.

“You always promptly returned our phone calls and kept us informed.  We were confident that you had the situation under control, especially because we were in Florida and had to deal remotely.  We would not hesitate to call on you again to handle either buying or selling a property.  Thanks again.”

“My family and I had suffered the recent loss of my mom and now had to face the daunting task of clearing out her house and getting it ready for the market.  Fortunately, our paths crossed with Barrie Wheeler. We had absolutely no experience in selling property and with all the emotion and work to be done, felt a bit overwhelmed.  Barrie was an angel in disguise.  Her approach, kindness and experience helped us to get the house ready and sold by the end of the summer. She was patient, approachable, always available and used her experience, connections and creativity to make a deal happen for all involved. 

“Barrie's confidence and knowledge during the whole process was calming during a difficult time.   I will always be grateful for her efforts, professionalism and kindness.  My family and I were very fortunate to have the opportunity to have met Barrie Wheeler.  I truly believe that Barrie's skills are the reason we sold the house when we did.  She is an  outstanding realtor and I would recommend her without any reservation to help you sell or buy your next home.”

“Barrie Wheeler is a warm, personal and very user-friendly Realtor. She knows her neighborhoods well and has a strong working knowledge of what the market will bear in each.  She was able to explain all of this information to me with ease in a simple straightforward manner.  She looks you straight in the eye when interacting with you and this means a great deal to me. 

“Selling my home in West Newton, the home in which I raised my child as a single mother, was nothing short of daunting, but Barrie made the whole process so much easier for me since I knew without a single doubt that she advocated for me and was going to get me the best possible price for my home.  She appeared to appreciate my home almost as much as I did.  She realized this was more than a simple transaction for me and understood where I was on my life journey.  She always welcomed my input and in fact changed her approach according to it several times during my preparation period as well as selling period.  I really treasured the fact that she spent a lot of time with me and never made me feel rushed. Several times I needed to call her after hours on her cell phone to ask a question and she engaged me as fully then as during her work day.

“I would happily and fully recommend Barrie to anyone who needs help with buying or selling their home; the relationship they will have with her will not disappoint!  If I can be of further help, I would welcome a call to discuss my experience with Barrie.”
 

“Barrie Wheeler is a Realtor extraordinaire.  In addition to helping us find a wonderful home in our price range, Barrie served as our cheerleader, guide, therapist, and friend.  At every step of the process, Barrie helped us clarify what we were looking for, and then energetically worked to help us find it.  Barrie listened so well to our needs that she actually only showed us places that we loved.  When we found the right fit, Barrie helped us negotiate price, helped us get our mortgage, found us a lawyer we loved, found us a trustworthy contractor, and even helped us figure out which appliances to buy and where.  Barrie's knowledge, passion, caring, and wit make her a real joy to work with.  We cannot recommend her more highly.”

“Barrie helped us buy our first home last year in West Newton. We were novices with really high expectations in a really intense market and Barrie guided us through the process with patience, expert advice, thoughtfulness, understanding and savvy. She's a super smart lady who could do anything and is clearly passionate about real estate. She also has really great connections to mortgage brokers and lawyers who formed a fantastic team to get us where we wanted to be. We are so happy in our home and owe that very much to Barrie!”

“We were first-time buyers without lots of knowledge about the housing market when we first met Barrie. She patiently guided us through the whole process, helped us identifying an inspector, attorney, etc. We had a great experience working with her. We have known and worked with Barrie quite a few years now. Barrie is very knowledgeable in both buying and selling houses. She is always honest and professional, makes sure we are comfortable with our decisions. We highly recommend Barrie's service. Indeed, we have recommended her to our friends, who had great feedback as well.”

“Barrie Wheeler helped us sell our condo in Somerville two years after we relocated from Massachusetts.  She managed the entire process for us while we were abroad, skillfully handled multiple offers and worked with our tenants to somehow make this a seamless transaction.  A bit after selling, we decided to move back to the Boston area and Barrie helped us with this as well. We were out of the country and she was very quick to understand our needs. When we visited she made sure that we would see every unit that might interest us, and pointed out many important considerations that we would not have considered on our own. When we were away, she coordinated visits by our friends and relatives, and made sure that we had a very clear picture of every stage of the process. Without her advice and guidance, we would never have managed this process. Thanks to Barrie, we now own a lovely condo in Cambridge and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone selling or buying in the greater Boston area. “

“Barrie is a fantastic Realtor who helped us buy our first house in Newton. We had many complicated constraints and our search lasted a long time. Barrie was always patient, helpful, honest and insightful, and never pushed us to do anything we weren't sure about. When it was time to buy, she cleverly helped us negotiate a good deal with the sellers and made absolutely sure the sale went smoothly. She is extremely knowledgeable about the greater Boston real estate market and performs deep research into every potential house. We strongly recommend Barrie for home buyers!”

"Barrie Wheeler is an excellent real estate agent. From strategizing with us regarding the sale of our house to managing our open houses to overseeing the sale and closing, she provided expert advice and conducted herself with honesty and integrity. This was our first house sale and Barrie guided us every step of the way. We felt like we were in great hands and got terrific results -- five offers over asking price in the first weekend of open houses! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the Boston area."

"Barrie helped us find our home in Wellesley when we moved out from the city. We had been looking on our own for ages in Brookline and Newton, and she helped us focus our search and get organized. When we made a sudden switch to looking in Wellesley, she was flexible and knowledgeable about the market in Wellesley. She also never gave us the 'hard sell,' which was important to us. She wanted to make sure that we found a house that met our needs and would make us happy, and really took the time to do that. We wound up in a competitive bidding situation, and Barrie guided us through with experience and common sense. Though our offer was not much higher than the others, it was accepted because she helped us put together an attractive offer that appealed to the sellers. We started the process skeptical of using a broker, and wound up being very satisfied with our experience with Barrie. She was warm and a pleasure to deal with, and I would not hesitate to recommend her."
