Early Beginnings and Career Evolution With a very early interest in music and technology, Barry began his career path as a musician in Cleveland, Ohio, "The Heart of Rock and Roll". Wanting to strive for perfection, he attended Kent State School of Music.

Barry used this time to master the skill of hard work, gain a unique understanding of business management, and develop a devotion to client satisfaction. A Transition to Real Estate In 1999, a company move brought Barry and his family to the Central Coast.

Barry Brown was everything we hoped for in a buyer's agent and so much more! He was generous with his time and got to know us and understand what we were looking for in a home. He did extensive research on every home we were interested in, and was a tireless advocate on our behalf. He is knowledgeable, conscientious, ethical, and very kind. There were some bumps in the road to our purchase, and I don't believe we would have made it to closing without Barry's expertise. Even though he wasn't earning the biggest commision on our modest purchase, he made us feel important, and showed the utmost care for our outcome. We feel blessed to have found him!

I highly recommend Barry. He is extremely knowledgeable and super responsive. As first-time home buyers, the process of buying a home in today's market seemed very daunting. With Barry's guidance and expertise, everything went smoothly and it was much less stressful than we had anticipated. I will recommend Barry to all my friends and family who are looking for a realtor in the Central Coast.

5 stars seems insufficient for the level of service Barry provides! From my initial contact with Barry to the close of escrow, Barry extended himself with excellent communication, including steady reassurances throughout. He and his lovely wife, Sherry (aka Mrs. Barry), went above and beyond providing professional, personalized, warm, and friendly interactions consistently. I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about him. I highly recommend Barry Brown!

Barry was always prompt, responsive, professional and positive. He went above and beyond constantly: watering plants, cleaning up details I had overlooked, checking on the mail, helping close of utilities, etc. He even calmed my fears about the process on MANY occasions. He sold our home within days of it opening on the MLS, and he got us far more than I had expected. I can NOT recommend him enough. - Chrissie Walters
