Read Article published in The Record about home buyers and sellers John and Veronica Melissas regarding Barry's real estate services!

Excerpt from article:
John and Veronica Melissas swear that the Internet helped them sell their home in Fair Lawn in two days, through their agent, Colyer, and his Web site.  "The listing went up Friday morning at 10:30," said Veronica. "By 7 that night, we had shown the house six times. We showed it 22 times in two days."



Anyone could have sold a home in the early to mid 2000’s
.  It takes a professional - an expert - to sell a home in today’s market.
 
We worked with Barry during a time when home prices were on a swift decline. His knowledge enabled us to maximize our sale price even while competing with several, comparable, listed homes on our street – all competing for the same buyers. We were positioned and marketed to sell in the least amount of time for the highest price possible. We achieved our goal! 

Barry knows the market. He is a full-time professional Realtor with many years of experience in this area, not someone just “dabbling in” real estate. His advice will yield results!

Selling our home and buying a new house was an exciting experience
that could not have happened so effortlessly without the help of our Realtor, Barry Colyer. Working with Barry helped us define what we were looking for as well as narrow our search in Oakland. Barry helped us price our previous home in Oakland accordingly with the market, and he gave us excellent advice which helped us sell our home in five days!
 
With baby number three on the way, we had the need to look for a bigger home with lots of storage. Barry took the key points that we wanted in a home and showed us all that the Ramapo River Reserve had to offer our growing family. Barry helped us find a home in a community where our children can play on a quiet cul-de-sac with many friends in the neighborhood.
 
Barry always was available for any questions or concerns we had during this process. He has an enormous amount of knowledge and experience in real estate which we found helpful during our sale as well as in our purchase. He gave us wonderful tips for making this a smooth transition. We could not have asked for a better Realtor, and we would recommend Barry to all of our friends and family.

I want to take the opportunity to say thank you from myself and Dennis.  We thank you for your patience and your invaluable help during the selling of our home and the purchase of our new house.  Your ability to stay calm and tolerate our foibles made this entire process more palatable.

We are going to be very happy in our new home and have you (and Karen) to thank for the result.  We are more than willing to tell everyone we know how effective you are as a real estate agent, and that as a person - you are cool!

I appreciate all the work you did to make the sale of the property go as smoothly and successfully as it did.  Thank you for taking down the antique lamp fixtures - this was well beyond the call of duty!!  Thank you again!

Buying and selling a home is often a stressful undertaking; therefore, it is important to have a reliable Realtor. Barry Colyer, our Realtor, possessed that crucial quality. He provided all the pertinent information on buying and selling and walked us through it from start to finish.  Any time we needed Barry, he was there for us. Barry was competent, efficient, cooperative - and most of all a pleasure to work with.

We love our new home. Thanks Barry!

I would really like to thank  you for all your help.  It was also a pleasure working with you, you're very sweet and really did make things easier for me.  I will definitely think of you first if I need to go house hunting again.  Thanks so much again for everything.

Buying a home today is most likely the largest purchase one will make in their lifetime. My wife and I were fortunate to work with Barry Colyer who not only understands the real estate industry but took the time to listen to our wants and needs in order to find us the perfect home.  A professional from beginning to end, Barry was there every step of the way helping us navigate through the home buying process which can be overwhelming at times. Our questions and concerns were always addressed promptly, and we never felt pressured to buy a particular home. If it wasn't right, we would move on to the next home. There were never any time constraints with Barry. We always felt he was working to find us our perfect home, and in the end he did just that. 

If you want a truly unique and personal home buying experience, consider Barry Colyer. We're sure glad we did!
