Great Listener, Patient and Knowledgeable
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.
