Posting below both of my reviews from Google. Bought my first house in 2020 and sold it in 2025. Edit: The below review was in 2020 and sure enough when I sold my home in 2025, I went right back to Julian. He's the best! He made even the most difficult processes smooth. He went over and beyond to help me. I had to move out of state and he made sure I didn't have to bend over backwards to get my home sold. He's very personable and checked on me throughout the years. I can't recommend him enough!! ------------------------------------------ Julian was the best. He was a recommendation and the whole process from start to finish was smooth and I ended up purchasing my fist home! From the beginning he was always on top of things. Always stayed in communication and checked in on me periodically. He never pushed me towards something for the sake of a sale but was always concerned about my needs. It being my first home, I wasn't knowledgeable of the process but he spun me up on everything I needed to know and made it easy to understand. He connected me with a great lender as well and that was an amazing recommendation too. If I ever purchase another home or sell this one I will be going right back to Julian! read more

I don't know where to begin. Julian and his team were incredible from day one up to and AFTER closing!!! I had many difficult things going on in my life, from two surgeries to my dad having a life and death situation. Julian became a source of strength for both me and my husband (who was already out of state). After just a day on the market, offers were pouring in. Julian sorted through the offers and brought the best few to us to go through. In just a couple of days we were under contract. Julian and his entire team were ALWAYS available to us. They answered their phones, texts and emails immediately. I have already recommended this amazing team to friends, family and even groups on Facebook! Simply put, there is no better team to help you sell (or buy) your home!!! Thank you Julian and M&B Group!!! read more

As a real estate attorney, I have the pleasure of knowing many excellent real estate agents. Julian and everyone in the M&B Group demonstrated a level of professionalism, courtesy, and willingness to help that sets them apart from other groups. I could not be happier with my home-buying experience with the guidance of Julian and would absolutely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home. read more

Julian was absolutely amazing in aiding in the sale of our home! Not only is Julian highly knowledgeable in his field, he is very calming and reassuring at times when I was feeling overwhelmed during the selling process. I fully trust Julian and his teams judgement and had the best outcome for the sale of my home. I highly recommend using Julian for any buying or selling needs! read more

Julian Barrera is an amazing Real Estate Agent. The best way to describe him is as a professional who goes above and beyond. He has everything you could want and need in a Realtor. Julian is highly motivated and dedicated to his clients. He is knowledgeable to a degree I have never seen before and he has an awesome personality to go with it. Julian puts every effort into selling and buying a home. His craft and techniques surpass any agent I have ever known or heard of. We were very impressed with his skills, training, and methods. From our experience with him, we observed there is a lot to the home buying and selling process that people just don't know. So you want a Realtor like Julian to pay attention to all the big and small details to make sure you don't miss out and its done right. Julian helped my husband and I purchase our first home after we had our first son. We were clueless of the process and unsure if buying a home was possible. We lived in an apartment town home that became small and we agreed it was not the home we wanted to raise our child in. I honestly had not planed on buying a home for 5 or so years because I was so focused on paying off my student loans. I was also under the impression that owning a home was not possible because of my loans. My husband insisted we look into it and we put all of our trust into Julian. The process of buying a home with Julian was not only fun, it was also fast and SO painless from start to finish. I mean very very painless. I was scared that buying a home would be an excruciating process because of all the stories I heard from other people and reviews that I read, including how other agents were not readily available, poor communication, failing deadlines, bad information, missed opportunities, bad loan processors etc. This was far from the case with Julian and his team. He was always available and went out of his way many times for us. He walked us through every step and never gave us misinformation. He was detailed and super involved, not to mention a great negotiator. We felt so comfortable and engaged the entire time. To our surprise we found the whole experience to be on the easy side for us. He helped us find homes within our price range and specification. We found the perfect first home. A beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bath, in a great neighborhood. When we became pregnant again with our second baby, we contacted Julian. We needed to purchase a bigger home to support our growing family and goals. Julian made it happen and it was an experience just like the first but better. Anyone I have spoken to has never had positive experiences like ours. It makes me feel so grateful that we were able to use Julian and I believe agents like him are hard to find. If you are looking for a real estate agent or trying to figure out whether you should use someone a friend or family member told you to use, consider this review and contact Julian Barrera. I highly recommend him. read more

My realtor Julian Barrera deserves 10 stars! He absolutely exceeded all of my expectations for my first time home buying experience. I wasn't sure I was ready to be a homeowner. Right from the start Julian encouraged me to just take the first step. And too help ease my worries, he gave me a crash course/step by step guide via Zoom on what to expect during the home buying process. Let's just say, I gained a wealth of information. Julian has this positive, cheerful, calm, no pressure approach that is so refreshing. I knew I didn't want anyone else to be my realtor. Tampa's housing market is nuts! Julian was the perfect tour guide that truly understood how to navigate through the madness. He listened to my needs, my budget, kept me motivated, was super honest and scheduled viewings based on my likes and dislikes. I most appreciated his attention to detail while touring all of the homes, his integrity and his frequent responsive communication with me via phone or text. With homes going so quickly, he was just on his game and determined to find me my perfect home. And he did! He absolutely delivered! My entire home buying process was so smooth. From looking for homes, linking me to his lender and awesome Keller Williams team, to my offer being accepted, right up to closing. Julian made my experience so great! I've been in my home 1 week now and I am absolutely happy beyond measure. Julian, I appreciate you so much! And I am so glad I gained you as a friend as well. Thank you thank you thank you!!! read more

After listing our home with a previous agent, who had been recommended to us, for a little over 2 months, we felt compelled to do some homework to try to figure out why we hadn't see any activity on our home. We discovered that the pricing strategy he recommended was unrealistic based on properties that did not compare to ours. Communication was terrible and often I was the one calling to just to find out there was nothing happening. With that said, the agent agreed to dissolve the listing agreement. Failing to sell our home had a real affect on us. My wife and I still WANTED to move, but didn't want any part of selling anymore. Achieving our goal didn't seem possible for us. Then a family member told me about Julian. I decided to meet with him, but I have to honestly say I did not think I was going to hear anything new that would remove that awful feeling inside we both had. After the first 15-20 minutes he lifted our spirits so high that we felt we had give him a chance. In the days that followed, he executed the plan he discussed with us and showed us how a house should be sold. He went room by room providing recommendations on how to rearrange a few items in the house to create a more refreshing and inviting feeling for potential buyers. He set our price accurately, hosted a successful open house, door knocked our neighborhood and proactively reached out to agents whose clients had tagged our property on the MLS. He proactively provided us updates and informed us of his activity. His high level of "stamina" is in everything he does. He's focused on results, positive results! We were feeling like any day it could happen with him. By the 17th day on the market we under contract and SOLD! I could go on and on talking about Julian because he is indeed a diamond in the rough. If you want to sell your house, look no further for someone you can trust entirely. He will blow you away with all he knows and does in his business. He never uses too many words. I express that of importance! Too many words lead to a lie. He knew exactly what it would take to get our home sold. I wish him and his family the best. read more
