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...
Ed Barry did a fantastic job representing me as a Buyers agent. My name is John and I just closed on my first home on the Big Island. Speaking as a buyer in a very competitive and challenging climate here in 2021, I would rate Ed at the highest level for top performance
I have known Ed for several years now. His professionalism, integrity, and work ethic are just a few of the reasons I selected him as my agent when it was time for me to buy a house. As a first time home buyer and the head of household of 5 people, I needed an agent I could count on. Ed was that dedicated agent.
Ed was there for me every step of the way making sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. We were able to close on a very clean and perfect home for my family. The transaction recorded exactly on time and the Escrow company commented on how impressed they were with Mr. Barry’s correspondence and sense of urgency. My lender also expressed gratitude to Mr. Barry for his timeliness and attention to detail during the process.
Overall I would highly recommend Ed to anyone looking to make a real estate transaction on the Big Island. Mahalo Ed!
Mahalo to Ed Barry and the team at Hawaii Life Realty. From the moment we submitted our request for a property review, within minutes Ed reached out to immediately assist us in finding our new home on the Big Island of Hawaii. His friendly smile, warm Aloha, and professional approach to finding the perfect home was absolutely phenomenal. Every step of the way, Ed was there for us and we couldn’t be happier with his knowledge and continued support throughout the buying process. We just couldn’t have done it with out Ed! We highly recommend Ed for any and all real estate needs! Mahalo
