Buying and Selling real estate has been a passion of mine since the late eighty’s. The process to complete a transaction can be exciting and challenging on many levels. My wife Audrey and I have personally made numerous real estate transactions over the past thirty years. I have also helped hundreds of customers do the same during my years as a REALTOR.
Talk to me… I want to listen to every detail of what your real estate goals are. Listening to my customers ideas and needs is a critical “step one” in building a solid working relationship. Put my local knowledge to work for you. Our Big Island has such a diverse collection of micro climates and subtle nuances that can affect how you enjoy your island lifestyle.
Moving to Hawaii from the mainland? Audrey and I did exactly that from New Jersey in 1993. I can help you navigate the logistics to or from Hawaii from point A to point B with up to date first hand experience.
Maybe you’re interested in buying raw land and building your dream home? I have done exactly that three times for our personal homes here in Kona. Follow my blog on hawaiilife.com for more details on that process.
There are many agents to choose from and when a customer selects me I take that very seriously. My commitment to you will not waiver. From start to finish, you will be given the highest level of customer service and professional real estate experience. No matter what phase of the process you might be in, exploratory or ready to make the commitment to Buy or Sell, I am ready to provide you “Excellent Service with Aloha.”

What my clients are saying...
My wife and I contacted Ed two days after getting married. We had lived on big island for two and a half years and thought we might be able to buy a house two years from now. In the terminal at Honolulu airport on the way to our honeymoon we saw the listing for an undeveloped land lot, and on a whim, called the Zillow number. Ed picked up and changed our life in that moment. He said that we reminded him of himself when he was younger, when he built a house with his wife. We chatted about what that process would look like, and for the first time realized that a cost effective and personal way to stay in Kona is to build a home. Fast forward to the beginning of this year, we own the lot! Now we are starting the process of building, and are lucky to have friends with supportive and honest recommendations on how to go about this project, Ed included. Ed was super responsive throughout the whole purchase. He called and texted with us any hour of the day or night to remind us about little details or help us understand what needed to happen next. The cherry on top, he showed up to our little bbq after the closing with a hand made bird feeder! Haha, now that I've shared this he'll have to give everyone a gift :) Thank you Ed for seeing this opportunity for us where we didn't. You changed our life, this home building project is a gift and reason to live, we get up everyday with a fire to push forward.
Recently my husband and I purchased an ocean front property on the Big Island of Hawaii. This would be a second home and we live out of state. Guiding us deftly along the way was our agent, Ed Barry. He made the entire process "user friendly," and was able to assist us in a positive, professional way. His attention to detail, expediate follow up and clear communication was outstanding! He was resourceful, creative and went ABOVE and BEYOND to assist us in obtaining a dream home. Ed was our lifeline and we can't imagine completing the transaction without him. Ed is in a word, excellent!
