About Barry Brown
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.
Before beginning his Real Estate Career in 2003, this passion and knowledge led to a 27-year career in sales and management with electronic retail chain stores. 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. With the skills he mastered, a switch in career to Real Estate was a natural transition for Barry, and he offers a unique home-buying and selling experience.
A Dedication to Professional Excellence
& Over 350 Transactions
As Broker/Owner of Barry Brown Real Estate, he strives to continue his education to better serve his clientele by participating in professional trade associations. Barry served twice as President of the Pismo Coast Association of REALTORS® and as a Regional Chair representing the Central Coast for the California Association of REALTORS®. These experiences have placed him as a well-respected practitioner with his peers and allowed him the resources available to understand the ever-changing real estate market and its laws to help protect homeowners’ rights.
Proven Track Record
With more than 20 years of experience and over 330 transactions, buyers and sellers have trusted Barry to guide them through their Real Estate experience with caring and competent service.
Client-Centric Approach
What do clients appreciate most about Barry? His dedication to their needs and staying involved from the beginning to the end of their real estate journey. Most importantly, he focuses on delivering an experience that his clients will talk about for years to come.
A Commitment to Excellence
For Barry, it’s not about being the biggest name in real estate; it’s about being the BEST. He welcomes your real estate journey and looks forward to “Bringing Your Dream Home”!
A REALTOR®, Broker and Salesperson. What is the difference?
A REALTOR® is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® and agrees to abide by the association’s standards and uphold its higher Code of Ethics.
A real estate Salesperson is a real estate professional who has taken and passed all of the licensing requirements for the State of California. This is the starting point for most people entering the real estate field. A Salesperson must be employed by a real estate Broker who supervises and manages their activities.
