We employed Barlow Realty for the sale of our Leisure Village condo. ALL of the Barlow Family we…read moreworked with were knowledgable, helpful, professional, and friendly. McKay suggested some quick, practical, and economical improvements be made to the property and oversaw the project for us. The property sold quickly and for more than we expected.

Our experience was positive and seamless. We would use them again and recommend them highly.

I paid the entire month of Feb. and moved our on Feb. 14th. The new tenant, by law, could not move in until March 1, 2025 but she moved in on Feb. 28 as witnessed by the neighbors. In addition, Dan Klein, the owner, was to pay LV change of tenancy fees of $80. Dan Klein and McKay with BPM charged me both the $80 and for the last day of Feb. even though the new tenant moved in on that day. This is all illegal. Nothing new for both McKay at BPM and Dan Klein. They are horrible and will charge you for things that are not even legal to charge you for. NEVER RENT FROM BPM!

She had answers to questions that I didn't even know that I had. She did this all of this while being incredibly patient with my 100's of questions, helping us imagine a remodel and navigate complicated permitting issues. She was honest and steered us away from homes that I know she could have made a bigger commission on because she cared about how that specific house did or didn't fit our needs as a family. If I could give more stars on this review I would. Thanks Brittney.

Our most recent and hopefully last move is to Oak View, CA and was by far the most complicated and yet seamless. The easy part entirely due to the experience, compassion and professional work of Char Michaels. Our early days of looking and learning were full of add on tips regarding the history of Ojai, the risks of purchase in various neighborhoods, and mostly trying to navigate a big emotional move with the necessity that it be fiscally wise. Char was and is nothing shy of perfection, and continues to be. She has been with us every step of the way and in most cases ahead one or two steps. She has reminded, prompted and injected a dose of reality when most needed. She remained professional while also personable.

Dave was a calming force, answered all of my questions, and always checked every available option for me to ensure I was receiving the best deal.

He has invested, fixed up, and sold his own properties. With that "in-the-trenches" experience, he deeply understands the psychology of a buyer and knows which features of a property will "move the needle" in the specific area your property is located.

Buying a home can be lengthy, confusing, and stressful, but Tracey made the process feel manageable from beginning to end. She was always prepared and incredibly responsive. If she couldn't get back to us with a complete answer right away, she would still let us know that she had received our question and would follow up once she had the information. We never felt ignored or left wondering what was happening. Tracey explained every step with patience and clarity--even when she had already covered the topic and we needed to hear it again. She gave us the information and reassurance we needed without ever making us feel pressured. Having someone so steady and dependable at the helm brought us a great deal of peace of mind.

Afterward, Tracey gave us a thoughtful move-in kit containing practical things we probably would have forgotten among everything else we were managing.
