Most professional, knowledgeable, and timely-engaged realtor
Barry was absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s like having a friend; and yet he was professional. He was knowledgeable of the current market, thus providing/offering advice, which helped me to decide and constantly communicate and respond promptly with the right information during the entire selling process. In sum, he was the best!

Lia Locarnini, First Team Real Estate

Flawless execution in the sale of our home.
Barry was referred to us by a close friend who had a very positive experience with him. Just a wonderful person to work with throughout the entire process. Very thorough with all documents being delivered in a timely fashion. It was quite evident Barry conducts himself as a true professional with the highest of ethical standards. Our sale could not have gone any smoother. We would highly recommend Barry for any and all real estate needs.

Richard & Barbara Nevins

Excellent Realtor.
Barry is a very knowledgeable, professional and thorough realtor. He guided me through the entire process of preparing and selling my home. I’ve known Barry for 20 years and can speak to his high level of honesty, integrity, and strength of character. I highly recommend you select Barry as your realtor whether purchasing or selling your home.

Milt & Andee St. John

Barry handled every detail of our home purchase with the utmost professionalism.
We worked with Barry on the sale of our Tustin home this past March and did not hesitate to have him represent us in the purchase of our Newport Beach condo. We experienced some frustrating moments during this process but thanks to Barry’s ability to ‘calm the waters’ and manage the situation, he ultimately delivered a positive outcome. Can’t thank Barry enough for his support and guidance.

Richard & Barbara Nevins

Barry is an awesome Real Estate Agent.
He made sure my wife and I had all the facts during the buying and selling process. He always had time for us and really understood our needs. Buying and selling a home is a big and sometimes emotional deal. Having the right agent is extremely important. I highly recommend Barry.”

Rustin and Lisa Guild

Barry is an honest, trustworthy individual who will go the extra mile for his clients.
His calm and steady personality helped to keep us focused on the goal and to keep emotions out of the decision making process. Barry is able to relate well with everyone and his experience makes him invaluable during the buying/selling process. Always available and cheerful, he makes you feel like family. He has exceeded our expectations and helped us get what we wanted. We highly recommend Sonnek Realty!!!”

Robert & Holly Taylor

Because of Barry’s knowledge, experience and hard work, our house was in escrow for the listed price, 6 days, after being placed on the market.
We closed escrow on time and are grateful for Barry’s skill and professionalism. Barry’s honesty and integrity is at the least, refreshing. We would not hesitate to give him a key to our home. Other awesome factors: California regulations can be challenging but Barry made it easy and maintained his integrity. Every painter, carpenter, electrician or plumber was excellent with nearly immediate seNice. Also Barry was easily accessible at all times for any of our questions or concerns. We would recommend Barry Sonnek to all our family and friends. Thanks Barry for your hard work and great job!”

Bob & Louise Howard

Barry was very thorough and we would recommend him to anyone.

Matthew and Shelly Del Guidice

Don’t use any other Agent!
Barry is simply the best in all categories. He will meet all your needs and you’ll be happy after it’s all done.

Tom & Marjean Brascia

The best RE agent!!
I’ve used in 45 years of buying/selling Real Estate. My friend is dealing with an agent in LA who never returns calls or emails. That’s the most important thing in my opinion. You were great in responding even if it was letting us know you’d get back to us. You were very prompt with communications.”

Ron & Marilyn Gagnon

Thanks for getting our house sold Barry.
Four other brokers couldn’t do it and you got it sold! Thank You

Ken Gray & Larry Erdman

Barry is as honest and determined as the day is long.
He was patient as we refined our search. He would not let us settle for less than our dream home. Thanks!

Mary & John Navarro

Above and Beyond the Call of Duty!
Dear Barry, Thank you for all of your hard work over the last several months. We appreciate how you went well beyond the normal call of duty for us. We believe that your perseverance is the reason that we were able to sell our two properties, and buy our dream home. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you.”

Greg & Jennifer Garner

Glad I Chose You
Thank you for all your help in selling our house. We feel blessed to have gotten to know you better. Your uniqueness and warm personality are refreshing.

Hola Barry,
Man, we’ve been meaning to send you this message to thank you for selling our home and finding our new home.

Hey Barry: Just a note to let you know what a pleasure it was to work with you for the past three weeks.
You are a Real Pro. Thanks again.”

Tommy 'The Condo Guy' Anderson

Hey Barry: Just a note to let you know what a pleasure it was to work with you for the past three weeks. You are a Real Pro. Thanks again I know we’ve thanked you already, but I just wanted to thank you for specific ways you were a big help: from suggesting a reliable banker to structuring the purchase terms to our benefit in order for our total offer to come out on top over the other offers from other Buyers. Dan and I are “die-hard do it your-selfers” that try to do everything possible on our own. But when it comes to buying and selling property, I have seen -and am convinced- that we benefited from a professional’s help. Thanks for the dinner certificate. The boys are enjoying their new T-shirts, too. May the Lord bless you as He continues to bless us.” 

Dan & Pam Thomas.
