Richard Barr in Salisbury, Maryland

Looking for an energetic, customer-focused Realtor who will guide and support you through every step of the selling or buying process? Hoping to work with someone who was born and raised on the Eastern Shore and who can save you time by recommending the communities and neighborhoods that are best suited to your needs? Before you choose a Realtor, take a few minutes to talk with Rich Barr of the Maryland and Delaware Group of Long & Foster.

Recently named “Rookie of the Year” after selling some 40 homes during his first full year as an agent, Rich believes he works successfully with clients because he has walked in their shoes. “I’ve done it,” he says. “Before I became a Realtor, I was a real estate investor. I’ve bought investment properties. I’ve renovated them, flipped them, and rented them. On the personal side, I bought the house where I currently live with my wife and kids, so I understand what it’s like to go through that process, including the emotional aspects of it—getting the loan, moving with young children. I understand what’s involved.”

When you work with Rich, you’ll also benefit from the collective support of his highly respected real estate group. “We are the truest version of a real-estate team that you can have,” says Rich. “When a question or a problem arises, any Realtor in our group will do anything to help another Realtor’s client.”

Then there are the team’s resources, which include several real estate-related service companies. Under one roof—and all poised to help buyers and sellers solve unexpected problems—are a construction and remodeling company that can quickly spruce up a client’s old or new home; plumbing and HVAC companies that can make repairs or install new systems; and even a moving-and-storage company whose caring professionals reduce stress by respecting clients’ schedules, budgets, and furnishings.

How else will you benefit if you work with Rich Barr?
If you’re a first-time buyer, Rich will answer your questions and fully explain the purchasing process to you during your first meeting. If you’re concerned about a down payment, he’ll introduce you to several government programs that provide grant money to qualifying buyers. And, if you have questions about improving your credit or obtaining a loan, he’ll arrange for you to meet with one of several preferred lenders.

If you’ve bought or sold before, you will appreciate Rich’s strong work ethic, his in-depth knowledge of the market, and his willingness to advise and protect you as you proceed toward settlement. (Unlike some agents who at times will push a client to accept a less-than-favorable price, Rich will always do his best to get the most money for a seller and the lowest price for a buyer.) Says Rich, “Something that we talk a lot about here is making sure that we’re doing the best for the clients, taking care of them, getting the best deals for them.”

Whether you’re thinking of buying or selling a luxurious waterfront property, an investment property, or a family home where children and parents can enjoy life and make memories, Realtor Rich Barr has the experience and the resources to make your real estate journey a pleasant and satisfying one.
