I lived in one of Barrys properties on Broad Ave. for 3 years, and I would definitely recommend him! He is attentive and handles himself with friendly professionalism. Even though I am no longer at that property, he still has wished me a happy birthday every year, 2 years later. He handled any issue that arose in a timely manor, and maintained the property well. Great price for the location and size. All around a great guy and landlord.

Barry is not only an outstanding landlord, but also just a great guy in general. He is probably the most attentive landlord Ive ever had, and was always quick to respond to any calls/emails for repairs around my apartment. From the start, he is upfront with you about anything you ask. He gives an honest assessment of the utility costs for the apartment and takes the time to carefully review the lease with you. Once youve moved in, he frequently checks in to make sure everything is running smoothly and going well for you. He is very easy to work with, and seems to genuinely care about tenants. In terms of the apartment I rented from him, it was obvious that it had been well-maintained and I found it to be very reasonably priced.

My wife and I rented from Barry for almost 3 years and the entire tenure was a consistently great experience. As a landlord, hes hands on - most maintenance or pest control issues were fixed within 24 hours. At the same time he wasnt intrusive and gave us advance notice if he or a workman were planning to enter.On a personal level he was extremely easy to work with and helpful when needed. Id love to rent from Barry again if the situation arose!

I have lived in one of Barrys properties for nearly three years now, and highly recommend him as a landlord. He takes his business seriously, requiring background checks and renters insurance for tenants, and understands the leases and legal rights of both parties inside and out. It shows that he deeply cares for his properties and their inhabitants--he responds to service calls promptly, ensures that the yard and pavements are maintained and de-iced when necessary, and even sends birthday cards to his tenants.... If an attentive, considerate, and by-the-books landlord is who you seek, then look no further.

Barry was a fantastic landlord. He was great at responding to emails or calls within 24 hours. Things that needed fixing were fixed ASAP, which can be hard to find with other landlords. I highly recommend renting with him.

I rented an apartment for 5 years from Barry. The apartment was very well kept and I never had any major issues during my entire time there. Barry was very responsive to any concerns that I raised, which were not many. He is very available and it is clear that he takes an active interest in his properties and tenants. He maintains a very professional approach toward his business, but yet it is evidence that he cares about his tenants personally as well. I am very grateful to have rented from Barry and can not recommend him highly enough.

I lived on Valley Rd Ext for about a year and had the most wonderful time there. Barry keeps the properties well-maintained and regularly checks in to make sure everything is going smoothly. He is also quick to do any repairs that need to be done. One thing that I appreciated about Barry was that he took the time to explain the lease before I signed it. Unlike other landlords who only care about their own liabilities, Barry makes sure that you understand your legal rights and obligations as a tenant. As it was my first time renting a house (vs. an apartment), I was glad that Barry went the extra step to make sure I made informed decisions. Finally, when I needed to find a subletter to finish out my lease, Barry was proactive in helping me find someone who would be responsible and get along with my housemates. Barry is a great landlord and I definitely recommend renting on Valley Rd Ext. Its a great neighborhood!

Barry offers solid apartments near UVA for a decent price. He is very easy to work with and quite responsive whenever I had any issue with the apartment. I highly recommend Barry as a landlord. The only reason why I put 4 stars instead of 5 is that my apartment was a basement unit and I grew tired of being partially below ground after 2 years. Definitely check out Barrys places and see if they are right for you because he is great as a landlord and the places are quite affordable.

Barry is a great landlord. Everything in my apartment was well taken care of, and he was quick to respond to phone calls and emails, which I appreciated a lot. Furthermore, Barry is just a really nice guy and pleasant to deal with. I have no complaints and would definitely recommend him.

Barry is a really nice guy and very responsive to any issues. He even stopped by with Chocolates around the holidays! He crosses every T and dots every I, so you know the place is well looked after and taken care of.

I rented a top-floor apartment in a two-level house from Barry, living with a roommate for one year. Barry really knows his stuff when it comes to renting out property--both his and renters rights. Prior to signing the lease, he sat down with us to go over it in person to make sure everything was clear. It was easy to get in contact with Barry (I preferred email, and he would always respond promptly). Lawn care (mowing and spraying for pests) was taken care of, so we didnt have to worry about that ourselves. We made sure to take good care of the property and we had no issues in getting our deposit back on move-out. Would have loved to stay, but both my and my roommates living situations changed, and a move was necessary.

Barry is a responsive and caring landlord. The only time I had a problem, he was quick to respond. He is really nice and even sent me a card for my birthday! I would recommend him as a landlord.

It was a great pleasure for us to live in this property on Broad Street. The house is cosy, cute and welcoming. Barry does his best to ensure that the property is well taken care of and in return expects that his tenants take care of it as their own. We enjoyed staying there for under 2 years (we had to sublet as we moved into our own home). It is quiet, peaceful, scenic and a great neighborhood, very accessible to UVA and downtown etc. Barry makes great efforts to know his tenants and that is a plus point! You can always discuss with him on any issues regarding to the property!

Barry is a very kind and attentive landlord. All maintenance concerns were addressed in the most timely manner. The location is great!

I lived on Valley Road Extended in one of Barrys houses for 5 years when I first moved to Charlottesville. I have nothing but great things to say about Barry. He was the most attentive landlord I have ever had before or since. Also, while living on Valley Rd Ext, I met my husband who was living next door in another one of Barrys apartments! It doesnt get any better than that. : )
