Reviews of Barry Thomas Real Estate (Real Estate Agency)

Simon Bates

From our very first meeting, we felt immediately at ease and confident in our choice to list our Bowen home with him. He was faultless in his professionalism and responsiveness, and remained irrepressibly optimistic, even when we didn't feel that way sometimes! There are many agents on Bowen to sell or buy a house with, but few that display the strategic market sense, or attentiveness and commitment to their clients that Barry does.

Tim Wake

Barry is simply the best.

Sasha Rink

Made the process of selling our first home seamless. Thanks for everything Barry!

Scott Michaels

Barry is an amazing realtor. I appreciate his attention to detail, his very clear and actionable suggestions for the sale of our home, and how he was 100% honest with us about the homes we looked at. He is not out to sell you any home, he is there to help you find the right home for you and in our case, the family as well. We would recommend Barry to anyone either on Bowen Island already, or looking to move here.

Mike Spendlove

We met Barry through another realtor who was heading out on vacation. Despite short notice, Barry instantly made time in his busy schedule to show me around Bowen, introduce me to the different areas/neighbourhoods, and help us understand the market. Throughout the offer and purchase process, Barry was incredibly responsive, detail oriented, thorough (he dug up all kinds of important title and other property documents for us saving us time and money), professional, and always friendly. Despite being in demand, I never felt rushed in our calls, and he took the time to make sure our concerns were addressed. He also found quick and sensible solutions to construction concerns which came up late in the process, and had great recommendations for us for inspections and legal services, which all worked out, and were confirmed by others. I would strongly recommend Barry as a realtor! We were so glad we ended up with him.

Barry Thomas provided my family with service that went above and beyond what I have experienced from other realtors. He is a pleasure to work with and is consistently the model of professionalism.

Morgan Quarry

We had the distinct pleasure of having Barry sell our house and help us buy another one on Bowen Island. Throughout the process Barry was honest, professional, diligent and respectful. He kept us updated and informed in a timely manner and provided us with great advice delivered in an easy and efficient manner. He made what can often be a stressful and difficult experience feel easy and hassle free and we highly recommend him. To put it simply: we really liked him and he delivered.

Jonathan Becker

Barry was amazing to work with, professional and responsive at all times. We were impressed by how quickly understood what we were looking for and was able to find us the perfect property. Barry also guided us through the offer, negotiation and closing process. We'd 100% work with him again and look forward to doing so in future.

Ann Beatty

Working with Barry Thomas was an exceptional experience; it was our first time selling a house and his firm guidance and good humour made it a stress-free process. Barry connected us with competent tradespeople to get our home in shape and his team's video and postcard used to help market our home helped sell it in a couple of days. Choose Barry Thomas.

Barry Thomas is a Professional who gives the best service I have ever received from a realtor. He understands the ever changing real estate landscape of BC. He is calm, supportive and knowledgeable. He specializes in Bowen Island real estate but came off Island to assist me purchasing in the Lower Mainland. It was a such a positive process - with his assistance. I highly recommend Barry.

Barry Thomas is a brilliant realtor. He handled my recent house purchase with unparalleled professionalism and kindness -- going above and beyond to gently guide me through the entire process. As a long-time Bowen Island resident, I was also impressed by his deep respect for Bowen, its culture, history and all people who feel rooted or drawn to this special place. In short, I highly recommend him.

Jillian Rushton

Barry is absolutely wonderful!! We were recommended to use him by a friend who had moved to Bowen a few years before we did. When we first met him, we were impressed by his honest overview of island life, the market & the community. He challenged us, educated us & got us super excited for a big move! Throughout the buying process, Barry looked out for us and helped us along as we learned how to buy our first house (inspections & more). Then when we went to sell our condo, he cheered us on, and knew it would all work out. From the beginning, we knew Barry was in our corner. He’s a talented realtor, a thoughtful human and a good guy. His sense of humour and real talk is refreshing, and we would recommend him over and over and over again. Bowen is lucky to have him.

Sandy Arthur

Friendly professional and knowledgable. My home sold within a week!

Joseph Coombes

I really can't say enough great things about Barry. Some things that stand out about him though: he's ethical, hard-working, incredibly knowledgable about the Bowen market, brilliantly strategic, thoughtful, kind and just a lovely person all around. He's someone you can trust entirely. We worked with him to sell our house, and are now using him again for a purchase. In this crazy market, it's so important to have someone in your corner who is always looking out for your best interest, and with Barry that's definitely the case.

Lana Sammut

Barry was extremely professional, knows the Bowen market and I would highly recommend.

Travis Bell

Barry is the consummate professional who was at our side every step of the way. He really goes the extra mile to set you up for the best outcome! We highly recommend Barry to anyone currently looking to sell on Bowen Island as well as to those considering making Bowen Island their new home!

Carly Bentall

Barry was such a pleasure to work with. He’s honest and professional, but personable, he works hard for you and also keeps you updated, so that you always know where you are, in the process of selling your house. I highly recommend working with Barry. Honestly, now that we’ve sold our home, I’ll miss our communications with him. He’s a real gem :-)

Arif Datoo

As first time buyers on Bowen Island, we were a little intimidated, but luckily for us we found Barry Thomas. Barry’s local market knowledge was invaluable. Barry spent time with us discussing what type of house we were interested in, and then he explained what to look for in houses on Bowen, including things such as the water source, septic tank, hydro etc. Any questions we had were answered quickly and efficiently. Barry found us the perfect house that met our needs and was within budget. If you are looking for a house on Bowen Island, we suggest Barry Thomas. Arif and Fehmina
