" I was so incredibly fortunate to have Barry Dunn representing me as my realtor in the recent sale of my home! Barry and his assistant, David, made themselves available to me at all hours of the day or night. Honestly, Barry went above and beyond for me and never once complained about all the time he spent working on my behalf, which was substantial! I was very impressed with Barry's knowledge in all aspects of the sale and purchase of a home and his patience in providing me with any information that I sought, his contacts in the field and how he caught small things in the contract and revised it several times to benefit me. He also has a great sense of humor and kept me laughing. He worked tirelessly to make the sale of my house both profitable and as stress free as possible. I give him the highest recommendation and my gratitude. "

" I can't speak highly enough of Barry Dunn who guided me through both buying my first home and selling it eight years later. From the start, Barry made an impression on me with his warm personality, genuine kindness, and a sense of humor that instantly put me at ease. When I was a first-time homebuyer, Barry patiently walked me through every step of the process. Eight years later, when it was time to sell, I didn't hesitate to reach out to Barry again. He took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and his knowledge of the market was spot-on. I remember Barry jokingly saying, "We'll see how accurate my crystal ball is," but his predictions turned out to be incredibly precise. His expertise and insight remained as sharp as ever. He navigated the selling process with grace and confidence, helping me stage the home effectively and negotiate a great price. True to form, Barry's predictions once again proved to be accurate, making the entire selling experience smooth and stress-free. Beyond his professional competence, Barry is someone you will genuinely enjoy working with. He has a knack for making what could be a daunting process feel manageable. His dedication to me as a client was unmatched, and he was always available to answer questions or provide reassurance any time. If you're looking for a realtor who combines expertise with a personal touch, look no further than Barry Dunn. He will not only meet but exceed your expectations, making your real estate journey a positive and memorable one. I am so grateful for Barry's guidance and support over the years and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a trusted advisor in real estate. "

" Barry was an amazing agent. I live out of state. I need to rely on Barry, for everything needing attention to the house. There was a lot of updating to be done. Painting interior and exterior. Roofing redone. Pool and koi pond repair. Lawn and landscaping. All needed someone to organize and manage Barry was so spot on his suggestions. His analysis of the area market allowed me to sell at a price more than I had thought. He is professional friendly and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for agent who works for you, Barry is the agent to use. Thank you, Barry for all you did. Anthony "

" If you are looking for a realtor in South Florida, Stephen is the one you need to hire! I had listed my property with another realtor and it sat on the market for 6 months with barely any showings. Stephen came in, beautifully staged the place, got professional photos done and we had 16 showing requests in under 2 weeks. 2 offers and sold in 33 days. His attention to detail and his eye as a buyer were incredible. Hire him first and he will get the job done. "

All of my opinions were heard and taken into consideration throughout the process. I highly recommend her. "

" I highly recommend Jeff for your real estate needs. I had a condominium that I needed to sell in a reasonably short period of time. Jeff provided a realistic picture of the current state of the real estate market in my area and worked closely with me to market the property at a realistic price that would attract potential buyers. Jeff worked with the buyer's agent and the title company to make sure that all of the necessary paperwork was in order prior to the closing. He went above and beyond to help me obtain information that the title company needed at the last minute and kept me apprised on the progress of the closing. Jeff will work with you to make sure your property is listed and marketed correctly. He sets proper, fact-based expectations, which I appreciate, and follows up on phone calls and emails. "

" I recently had an unfortunate need for a realtor in the state of Florida. My brother had passed away in Febuary of this year and left me a real challenge of a property to maintain and sell. I had some relationships with friends from church who recommended Joel Dunn. After a few conversations about who he was then me explaining who I was and what I needed I knew Joel was the best fit for the job. It was 10 months later the property was sold and Joel handled everything seamlessly. I will probably not need his realtor services again since I reside in NC. I feel like I have a new friend for life. His relationship with the God along with his work ethic was a pleasure to work with. Thank you Joel for keeping me in good hands. "

" My father passed away at the end of the year and left a house in North Lauderdale. I lived in NJ so knew it would be a difficult task traveling during COVID and trying to sell an out of state property. We immediately called our best friend and realtor Maria Rini/ReMax in New Jersey. She without hesitation referred us to Barry Dunn of Next Home Realty Professionals (954) 564-0028. She told us that she met him at a conference and was very impressed with him. She thought he would be the perfect person to handle our situation. Barry initially met with us in February and prepared a book for us that showed the housing market and sales in the same area. We liked him right away. He told us to call him when we were ready. He did not pressure us. We did not even bother interviewing any other realtors. We needed to travel back and forth a few times in order to have the house ready to sell. We placed the house in Barry’s capable hands at the end of June. He did a fabulous job with photographs and a 3D virtual walk through. He had an open house the last weekend in June and we had 12 offers. A contract was signed within a few days for full asking price. Barry kept us up to date on everything that needed to be done and answered all of our questions. All signatures were done electronically and all went without a hitch. The house closed in record time on July 30, 2021. My family is so grateful to him for his kindness, diligence, expertise and expedience. He has a great personality and sense of humor as well. We highly recommend him to represent those in need of his services. James Hamilton & Family "

" We have now closed on our 2nd house with Barry Dunn and he has gone above and beyond for us over the years. Years ago we almost closed on a house we liked but weren't totally happy with when Barry found the home of our dreams, last minute, before it even went on the market! 10 years later we are finally ready to move to a larger home and Barry helped up every step of the way. We took about 3 years looking for this new home an Barry tirelessly helped us over all this time looking at countless houses and negotiating for us to make sure we made a great deal. Barry is dedicated and tenured in S. Florida and knows the market here as good as any. I would highly recommend working with Barry Dunn if you are looking for a new home or looking to sell yours. He is not only a great realtor but has become a great friend and we are so happy he found another dream home for us! "

- Gustavo Angel (The most reliable.)

" Guy was absolutely terrific! Being a 1st time home seller, the process can be nerve racking. I initially feared whether my agent would have my best interest at heart and whether I would be leaving money on the table during the sale. I’m also a family man who resides and works full time in another state. Guy had my back throughout the process. He was personable, professional, patient, knowledgeable and always he kept me in informed. I really appreciate his efforts. I highly recommend going with Guy. "

- Elie JB

" I highly recommmend Jeff Goodwin for anyone looking to sell their home in Florida. We just sold our condo in the Fort Lauderdale Beach 1170 North Federdal Hwy.and it was a pleasure working with Jeff. His knowledge and his commitment of the current market, made my assurance that he was doing the best for us. Jeff, listened and understood what our plans were to move back to Canada and he exceeded in all efforts, to make this a rather easy decission for us. Again i would highly recommend JEFF GOODWIN to any persons looking to purchase or sell a home in the Ft. Lauderdale area to call and (Knowing YOU WILL BE SERVED) like this is his home. "
