Ed Barry

We met Ed Barry in 2017 when we were looking to move to Kona to build our dream home in paradise upon retirement. Ed was blogging through Hawaii Life, documenting his own home building experience at the time. Who’d be a better match in helping us realize our goals than someone who was doing the same with vast knowledge and experience from building multiple past homes of his own on the Big Island? Well, our inclinations were correct. Ed was instrumental in our search for a vacant lot to build on and helped secure the ideal one for us. At the time, we had visited Kona but hadn’t permanently moved onto the island yet. Completing the sales transaction from afar and finding someone to reliably maintain our lot until we made the move onto the island went smoothly with Ed’s help. He was always there for us as we tackled our project from the mainland. Ed was such a great source of information, always eager to help and promptly responded to our every need. In retrospect, we were so fortunate to have Ed there from the beginning. We wouldn’t be living our Hawaiian dream today if it weren’t for him. With Ed Barry, not only will you find a terrific real estate agent who will exceed your expectations but gain a friend with the Aloha Spirit.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ed Barry to purchase a home in Kona, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very beginning, Ed demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, dedication, and expertise that made the entire process seamless and stress-free. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Ed was his meticulous attention to detail. Despite the complexities of buying a home remotely, Ed took care of everything, ensuring that no stone was left unturned. He conducted thorough virtual tours, provided detailed information about each property, and even coordinated inspections with remarkable efficiency. Communication was another area where Ed truly excelled. He was always quick to respond to my questions and concerns, whether via phone, email, or text. His prompt updates and clear explanations helped me feel confident and informed throughout the entire process. Additionally, Ed's excellent follow-up ensured that all aspects of the transaction were handled smoothly. He kept me updated on every milestone, from the initial offer to the final closing, and even followed up after the sale to make sure everything was in order and that I was settling in comfortably. Ed went above and beyond to make my home buying experience a positive one. He will take care of every detail and provide exceptional service. You don't need to look any further than Ed Barry if you are looking to buy property in Hawaii!
