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...
I recently had the pleasure of working with Ed Barry to purchase a home in Kona, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very beginning, Ed demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, dedication, and expertise that made the entire process seamless and stress-free. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Ed was his meticulous attention to detail. Despite the complexities of buying a home remotely, Ed took care of everything, ensuring that no stone was left unturned. He conducted thorough virtual tours, provided detailed information about each property, and even coordinated inspections with remarkable efficiency. Communication was another area where Ed truly excelled. He was always quick to respond to my questions and concerns, whether via phone, email, or text. His prompt updates and clear explanations helped me feel confident and informed throughout the entire process. Additionally, Ed's excellent follow-up ensured that all aspects of the transaction were handled smoothly. He kept me updated on every milestone, from the initial offer to the final closing, and even followed up after the sale to make sure everything was in order and that I was settling in comfortably. Ed went above and beyond to make my home buying experience a positive one. He will take care of every detail and provide exceptional service. You don't need to look any further than Ed Barry if you are looking to buy property in Hawaii!
Finding a realtor to represent you in possibly the largest single purchase of your lifetime is certainly a daunting concern. Fortunately I connected with realtor Ed Barry via Zillow. Ed was attentive to what I wanted in my new home, and informative with his answers to my questions. Within a few days, and in a very thin market, Ed was able to find exactly the home I was looking for. Upon meeting Ed in person for the first time I wondered ‘Who is this guy?’…very casual and relaxed, quite the opposite of what I expected in ‘a realtor’. Don’t let that home-spun appearance fool you, this man is the ultimate professional. Just the person to negotiate on your behalf, and to guide you through the time lines involved in a real estate transaction. Ed was always responsive to my emails and instant messages, typically replying within a few minutes. Always courteous, patient, respectful and ready to explain each step in the process. This man is on his game! Ed also has the best contacts and team working with him, from home inspection, to escrow and to the Hawaii Life team. All very professional. After the purchase was completed, Ed and his lovely wife Audrey drove 40 miles just to be there when I first entered what was to be my new home. They even bought a ‘welcome gift’…. who does that these days? Connecting with Ed Barry was certainly a blessing for me, and I am happy to relay my experience and to recommend him for his thoroughness, his responsiveness, his attention to detail, and his professionalism. He is a fine gentleman and I have no hesitation in making this recommendation. Thank you Ed.
