What a great find in Barton - he was patient and listened to what I needed! It took a while but we looked and found the perfect home for my family! I would recommend Barton to anyone buying in Petaluma - he knows it well.

Barton Smith is an excellent realtor. We have landed in a market where a) there aren’t a lot of houses for sale, b) houses sell quickly and over asking price, and c) there are wide ranging options (city, country, new, old, expensive, less expensive). Yet with this scenario, Barton doesn’t pressure us at all, has a gift for tuning in to his clients, and offers useful and professional advice. He hits a perfect balance of being attentive and responsive, but not pushy in any way. We feel taken care of and confident with Barton’s knowledge of this area, the market, negotiation, business, details (zoning/construction/soil), and above all, old fashioned, authentic people skills. He gracefully handles the curve balls we throw his way; it’s assuring during this time of transition to be in such competent hands.
