Q? Pre-Sale Renovations

A. When selling, you always want to maximize your sales price. Doing minor updates like we assisted this Seller with will pay you big dividends! We can help you with determining what to do and putting a game plan together if you need help.

Raveis Refresh is also something to consider. It’s a program that only Raveis offers. For those that are selling a home that may need a few updates, we get that done for you to make your life easier and defer payment until after closing.

Q? What is the value of my property?

A. There are a few different models we use when doing your comparative market analysis of your home. One valuation model is we visit your home to lay our own eyes on it. The other option we do remotely and never visit your home. You send us pictures and videos so we better understand what to compare and we do your valuation.

Q? What makes you different?

A. Communications is a priority when working with you. A clear, clean plan of action to achieve your goal as a buyer or seller. If selling, in order to maximize your sales price, it may be best to do minor improvements like we did for this Seller. You have the right team here if you need ideas about doing minor updates, and someone to assist you throughout the process. When buying or selling, it’s vital to have an accurate CMA – Comparative Market Analysis of the property. We spell this out very clearly for you in layman’s terms, or in a comprehensive presentation, whatever you prefer.

Barry was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He helped me find the perfect place for my mom, and I truly can’t say enough about how supportive, responsive, and dedicated he was throughout the entire process.

He consistently went above and beyond to make sure my mom was taken care of, kept everyone informed every step of the way, and helped guide us through some really important decisions. He even made sure she was approved by the HOA quickly, which made a huge difference and took a lot of stress off our shoulders.

No matter the time of day, Barry was always quick to respond and ready to help. You can tell he genuinely cares about the people he works with, and that level of service is rare.

I would recommend Barry to anyone without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who truly looks out for you and your family, he’s the one you want in your corner.

We needed to sell my Dad’s condo in the Delray Beach area of FL but live several states away. I went with Barry based upon a friend’s recommendation and we’re so glad that we did!

Barry went above and beyond to get everything prepared for us for the sale. He had handymen and paint services that were fast and fairly priced. He had unwanted furniture removed and did an excellent job with the photos, ads and staging.

He was also attentive to all our concerns and was always available when we had questions. I highly recommend Barry and cannot thank him enough for making the sale transaction run so smoothly for our family.

Working with Barry was an absolute pleasure! To say he went above and beyond would be an understatement. This incredible person did everything for my family and I during a stressful moving period. I cannot recommend this agent enough. Reach out to Barry and buy or sell your home with confidence, you are in the best hands possible!

Thank you, Joe. I really appreciate the kudos. We did what it took to get the job done! What an amazing house and I was grateful for the assignment!

I have never had anyone work so hard for me and help me find a place to live that I could afford. Barry is the most caring and kind human (realtor) that I have had the pleasure to know

Barry is a consummate professional. Of all agents I’ve worked with, he, by far, goes above and beyond to present properties at their best to help get the best price the market will bear. I had the pleasure of working with Barry during a recent sale in Boca Raton and he did everything possible to make sure we didn’t overlook any detail that would make the property show great(even helped fix the lawn). I’d highly recommend Barry to anyone looking to sell a property at maximum value.

Response from the owner 19:59 24 Jan 25

Hi Todd, I was grateful for the assignment & thank you so much for the kudos. Thank you for giving me the opportunity! Now let’s play more golf!

I worked with Barry to secure a seasonal rental in DelRay Beach for 7 months. He was always eager to find new places, look them over for us and address issues for us. Once we moved in there were a few issues and Barry was quick to offer solutions and help. Barrys is highly recommended!

Response from the owner 19:38 22 Jan 25

Thank you, Hugh! I meet amazing people in my line of business! We will be friends for life!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Barry Frette while showing a rental property to one of my customers, and I can confidently say the experience was outstanding! Even though Barry didn’t have to be there, he went out of his way to show up and personally conduct a thorough walk-through. His commitment to going the extra mile really stood out. Barry’s professionalism was top-tier, but what truly made the experience remarkable was his charismatic and engaging personality. He brought an energy and enthusiasm that made the process not only seamless but enjoyable. Barry turned what could have been a standard showing into an exceptional, memorable experience. If you’re looking for a realtor who is passionate, reliable, and truly invested in creating the best experience for his customers, look no further than Barry Frette!

Barry did a great job on our closing in Delray Beach. The commercial property had a few offers that tanked so when we started our purchasing process he worked twice as hard to insure everything was smooth.

Response from the owner 15:40 17 Sep 24

Thank you Greg! Great Retail property as well. Everything worked out beautifully!

This was without fail one of the best experiences of my entire life! Barry is without a doubt one of the sharpest realtors you would ever want to meet. He kept me informed every step of the way and way beyond. He is also such a warm and fun person. Viewing properties with him was a blast.

Response from the owner 21:50 16 Aug 24
