What a Great Experience!
What a great experience! We are thrilled to have chosen Rich Barnhart and By The Sea Realty to represent us for our recent home purchase. Rich was a true professional throughout the process. We had challenging circumstances, having to move on a tight deadline and seeking a location with few homes for sale. Throughout the home buying process, Rich worked diligently on our behalf to meet our needs and get us the best possible terms. He helped us close on a beautiful home, at a great value, in the neighborhood we desired. Highly recommend!
