Barry Friedman helped us when we were building our first house 15 years ago and was the first person I called when we were embarking on another home building project. Barry and his team are consummate professionals and go above and beyond to get all the information you need to make decisions. He also knows the local area extremely well and made excellent recommendations for Real Estate Agents and General Contractors/Builders. I would not hesitate to work with him in the future for any real estate transaction.

As a new real estate investor, I was referred to Barry and his team by my realtor. In Feb. 2017, he welcomed us in after normal hours and listened to my wife and I's goals, ambitions, and plans for utilizing real estate as our investment strategy. Only after listening did he formulate and propose financing strategies designed specifically for us. Since that meeting, we have formed a great working relationship where he has served as a mentor and guide. He has provided so much value to us and gone to great lengths in explaining the lending process. I'm an engineer and hence very detail-oriented. Understanding that, Barry has gone above and beyond by providing me with detailed spreadsheets breaking down the costs associated with the entire acquisition process. This helped tremendously as I have applied this knowledge to many different properties in search of the right ones. As I'm currently closing on 2 rental properties, I plan to continue to utilize Barry as an important resource as I continue to expand my portfolio. In summary, he has served the role as a mentor, a guide, an educator, and (honestly) I wouldn't consider it a stretch to call him my friend who I can speak freely to. He is a completely genuine guy who caters to what works best for you. He is very involved with the community and has a long history doing this work. Whether you're an investor, looking for your dream home, or just buying your starter home, there is absolutely no need to look any further, Barry is the guy to go to for your lending needs.
