Barry Ward 

• licensed as Barry Ward

We purchased a home using Barry Ward Realty in August of 2016. Previously we had used this company and therefore contacted them again when this opportunity arose. From start to finish we experienced top level service and the purchasing process was smooth and enjoyable. Barry Ward Realty staff members are informed, responsive and attentive, each of whom provided 5 star service.

John was always on top of my requests and tried to find buyers for my home. He was quick to answer my phone calls or emails. If he was going to be out of the office, John communicated that immediately. He had a tendency to say, "Maybe you should accept the offer" but if I was reluctant he was right there to try for a better deal. Great agent, gave me a much attention on my little sale as if it were the biggest one of the year.

No one knows the area better and is with you the whole way. very reliable and responsive. We looked at a variety of homes and Barry learned very quickly what we were really interested in and responded. We love our new home and we are grateful for his help.

Barry impressed me because of his quick responses to answer my frequent questions both during the escrow and even after escrow was closed. He even came to the house a couple of times to see what I was asking about in order to give me more accurate answers and guidance. I wish I could have had him as the realtor for the sale of my other house as he is knowledgeable and responsive to questions/concerns.

Our realtor, KC Roland, deserves 5+++ stars. KC instantly honed in on what we wanted and was respectful of our budget. When we found our “diamond in the rough” property and home, he shared our enthusiasm and vision of what would become our dream home. During the buying process, he was on top of all of the details and communicated any potential “sticky situations” with the seller’s agent effectively and gracefully. KC’s responsiveness, professionalism, and care for what we wanted is what makes him a great realtor. We cannot say thank you enough times.

I have been looking at properties in Calaveras County on/off for the last year. Omar was one of the first agents that replied to an inquiry on a house and I was immediately impressed by his knowledge of the area, so I decided to work with him. I learned a lot from our discussions! Eventually our search centered on Arnold. Buying old-ish houses in the mountains is a very different process than buying in town, but I knew I could count on Omar to have my back. Once we got an offer accepted I got to enjoy working with the rest of the staff at Barry Ward, they were on top of things. Everything went smoothly and as of yesterday we're now proud homeowners in Arnold!

We'd decided to buy a cabin with Barry after many 5 star reviews. He is definitely very experienced and knowledgeable in the area of our search. Barry and his team had made our purchasing process smooth. We had efficient communications through emails and phone calls.

Barry provided us with a realistic market analysis and advise to prepare our home for sale. He has a full team of knowledgeable experts who are responsive and attentive to the many deliverables of closing a sale. Everything worked like clockwork for us...and BTW, other homes in our immediate neighborhood are still for sale these many months later, long after our sales escrow closed.

Absolute pleasure working with Barry! From day 1 he was eager to help us find our dream home in Arnold. Barry was professional, courteous, and always had our best interests in mind. Highly recommend Barry for all your real estate needs

This purchase was time sensitive as I was selling my current home. Barry represented both the seller and myself and conveyed the time issues, the result was a 35 day closing window without the back and forth haggeling I expierienced with my sale. As I was moving from several hundred miles away, Barry and staff were my were my agents on all things involved in closing; inspections, repairs etc. I could not be happier with his work.

Barry is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and has a wonderful team around him as well! He helped steer us in the right direction and helped us land a home in Big Trees Village that we are truly thrilled with! I have a dear friend who also used Barry and was equally satisfied with his professionalism and ability to get the job done!

Barry and his team were fantastic to work with. We were able to find the right home within a few hours and Barry's insight to the local market made us confident that it was perfect for our family. I highly recommend Barry and his team for your real estate needs!

KC is one of the best agents we've ever worked with, if he was unsure about something he would search it out, he went above and beyond. Best home buying experience, smooth and easy, all due to his competence.

Amber has been a delight to work with. From the start of our very specific search to today after closing on our purchase, she’s been and still is extremely helpful and responsive. There are few words to describe how professional, personable and dedicated Amber truly is. Amber is just a wonderful person who listens to you, and who simply is extremely trustworthy. We can only recommend you to work with Amber as she’ll simply always be there for you and find you exactly what you’re looking for.

Gloria is one of the most respected agents/brokers in Calaveras County. Her honesty and integrity is unquestionable. She knows the Hwy. 4 corrider and quickly learns what is important to her clients. Above all, most of her clients become her friends.

Barry is outstanding in all areas of being a Real Estate Professional. He recently helped us purchase a home and was very good at hearing our needs, showing us suitable properties, and guiding us through close of escrow. We couldn't be happier with him representing us and highly recommend him to others.

Barry is a great guy and knows the area and market better than anyone. If your looking in the area to buy. Barry should be your first call. He promptley responded to my inquiry and then followed up with honesty and first hand knowledge of the propert I was interested in.

Barry Ward is a top-notch real estate agent who is dedicated to his clients and very pleasant to work with. Ten years ago, we sold a cabin with him as our agent. Just recently, ten years later, we bought another cabin with Barry as our buying agent. After ten years, he continues to be a pleasure to work with and represented us very well through a challenging escrow experience. Escrow has now closed and Barry is continuing to follow-up and assist us with some little details getting settled in the new area. We highly recommend Barry Ward!

Gloria Correy is very professional, honest and easy to work with. She is easy to communicate with, listens to your needs and very helfpful and responds quickly to questions. She clearly understands what Customer Service means. Over the past 20 years I have worked with Gloria on several occasions lastly was with a shortsell of my parents' property as it was time for my mother to divest herself of her home due to her advancing age. She gives her customers 100% of her attention.. That process process was a journey of patience and quick actions when required. And that happened with Gloria. I felt very secure having Gloria in the entire process with me.

Barry did an outstanding job selling our home. We had moved overseas and needed a realtor that was very competent and trustworthy. Barry worked very hard to make sure that all the details were handled in a timely manner. My wife and I would highly recommend Barry Ward to anyone interested in selling or buying a home. He is, by far, the best realtor that I have ever worked with.

Barry Ward was very responsive to any concerns we might have had. His communication was excellent, always keeping us informed. I highly recommend Barry Ward as your realtor.

Barry is the best. Great communication skills. Very professional. Good advice on the best time to list my particular home. Wonderful to work with. Great tips with a quick sale within a month. Competent staff and a great experience all around.

Having listed/sold our vacation home with Barry, we were more than confident that he was the perfect Agent to help us find our retirement home. Having grown up in the area, Barry's knowledge and expertise is second to none. Our experience was nothing but first rate. You can count on Barry to be fully involved from the start to finish of your buying/selling process. Linda & Scott Trudeau

We both bought and sold our Blue Lake Springs cabin with Barry. His knowledge of the market, attentiveness to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile for his clients sets him apart from any other agent I have used. I have and will continue to highly recommend Barry Ward.
