Barry distinguishes himself in all areas of his profession. Throughout the transaction, his knowledge, patience, attention to detail, and follow up made a somewhat complicated transaction seem routine and on track. His interest in our experience, making sure we were well informed of progress at every stage, inspired confidence and eased any stress. Personally, he is engaging and good natured, a friend as well as an advocate for his client. First rate agent in every way.

I found Barry by accident. I saw a property online that I was interested and called the Hilton Head BH office. Turns out Barry had sold a homesite to my sister and brother-in-law several years ago. Barry took me to see several properties on HH and I was very impressed with his knowledge of the area. I ended up purchasing a homesite in Habersham with Barry’s help. He’s a very friendly, upbeat person and a pleasure to work with I finding the perfect spot for me. I recommend him highly.

Our buying experience with Barry has been truly one of the best of our lifetime from start to finish. He started off not knowing anything about us at all, but through this experience, we have truly became friends who he has looked out for the entire way. His market knowledge has proven extensive, along with his advising throughout. He has went above and beyond the call of duty and has shown time and time again his will to do whatever is needed or asked of him, no matter how large or small it seemed. He went out of his way to spend time with us and get to know us personally, he has truly been amazing throughout start to finish!!

As a NJ couple looking for a vacation home on Hilton Head, which will ultimately become our retirement home, it was important for us to work with a realtor that understood the challenges of a long distance search. Barry provided us with great insight into his own journey on to Hilton Head which was extremely helpful. Barry was very patient and listened to what we were looking for, which was initially very broad. He shared details about each of the communities on the island which allowed us to narrow down our search. Unsure whether or not we wanted an existing home resale or a vacant lot to build on, again Barry shared great perspective and prior to our in person visit provided us with available listings for both resales and lots. During our in person visit, Barry spent many hours, over several a days, with us touring each of the communities and showing us the amenities each had to offer. We never felt rushed. While we had selected specific properties to look at in advance of our trip, based on what he learned about us and his knowledge of the market, Barry also suggested we take a look at a few additional properties. And we are so glad he did as we ultimately purchased one of these. When choosing a realtor to partner with on our journey, top traits that were important to us were: patience, integrity, experience, knowledge, responsiveness and someone that we really just liked to interact with. Barry O’Dell checked off all of the boxes and so much more.

Extremely knowledgeable about the Hilton Head area. Barry honestly went above and beyond showing us the various plantations and assisting us with identifying which plantation fit our wants and needs. Once we decided on an area, Barry made extra time to show us some lots. He educated us throughout the process and even coordinated with local builders, ARB, and lawyers to make the process seamless. Highly recommend Barry for all your realty needs in and around Hilton Head.

I can’t say enough about my experience with Barry and the purchase of my home. From the initial phone call we had to post-closing activities, he was nothing short of a highly experienced professional. The level of insightful involvement he displayed was amazing. As an out of state buyer, he helped me get comfortable with many of the local stops along with HHI in a broad view. We toured many homes & the process of ranking and eliminating each one based on my desires worked wonderfully. Obviously I would highly recommend Barry for any real estate need on HHI & surrounding areas, John

Barry, Good afternoon, we decided to work with you on our purchase of a home because of your professional and friendly way you treated us upon our initial meeting. You put us at ease immediately and your enthusiasm and thoroughness was always appreciated. Your honesty and positivity during the buying process made Lori and I feel at ease, especially since buying a home can be stressful at times! Your experience helped us tremendously and your knowledge of the market and your knowledge of Hilton Head was, and is, a true asset to us. What you did best to help us is difficult to limit to just one thing, but the one thing that Lori and I always said is that your attention to detail was always second to none. You prepared us along the way of what to expect, what was needed, and you were always extremely thorough. You consistently went above and beyond to keep us informed and you were not only our real estate agent, you became our friend! Your services that you provided that others may find helpful are some of the things that I have mentioned above. In addition, when you hire someone to do a service for you, trust is a key component on why you hire that person or company. Our trust in you to assist us and guide us through the purchasing process was one of the best decisions we made. Throughout the process, Lori and I had numerous concerns and needs that you always answered and provided sound guidance and direction. You always made us feel comfortable and made the buying process less stressful and more exciting! We are thrilled to be owners of a new home in Hilton Head! We would highly recommend you to any prospective buyer or seller of real estate in Hilton Head or surrounding areas. Like I said before, we gained a new home and a new friend! Thank you for everything Barry!
