Christies Beach 
Did you know that Kevin has been selling real estate on Beach Road for 38 YEARS?
The first property he sold was on Gilbert Street in Christies Beach for $42K! For some of the younger generation, it may be hard to image such low property prices.
The young Kevin, in his early 20’s sold the Gilbert Street property to a retired lady from Davis Avenue. She had recently lost her husband and her existing home was no longer suitable because of the upkeep. She promised Kevin the sale if he could find her something that would suit her needs. Kevin door knocked every house in the area she wanted to live and found a lady moving to New Zealand. Consequently, the transaction was completed and Kevin sold the property on Davis Avenue to a family who needed more room.
Kevin was working for his father, Kevin Barry Snr at the time. His father could see that Kevin had a natural instinct to care for people, which in return has been one of the reasons for his success in the industry.
People were quite pleasantly surprised that this young man actually wanted to help them, rather than just make a sale. Kevin still spends hours talking to people and giving free advice, which he thoroughly enjoys.
He often says that he is not in the sales business but he is in the people business. Kevin has been an ear to listen to, a shoulder to cry on and a voice of reason for many of his clients, during what some would consider the most difficult and stressful times of their lives.
A lot of people think first home buyers, developers and expensive property when they think of real estate. But the reality is, the majority of our clients are the average person dealing with financial hardship, death, relationship breakdown as well as happy times too. Kevin has taken great pride in assisting clients achieve a great outcome regardless of their circumstances. Kevin’s motto is that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
