Barry has functioned in the capacity of a real estate agent specializing in new home sales and residential resales prior to focusing on the finance aspect of the industry. He has more than 3 decades of mortgage financing background. His background includes loan origination, processing, underwriting, doc drawing, funding, secondary marketing, and pricing of loans, as well as loan servicing. He has negotiated, advocated, and performed pro-bono work for those losing their homes due to the economic downturn of the 00's, as well as the 1994 Northridge Earthquake in CA.
Barry participated in the preparation of a Private Placement Memorandum and acted in the capacity of Investor relations for that entity and was instrumental, along with his partners, in securing a first year and subsequent years double digit returns. Between 2004 and 2015 he consulted on the purchase, rehabilitation, rental and financing of more than 500 single and multi-family units for a multi-million dollar Mid-Western REIT. Barry also managed a restaurant after the sudden passing of his chef-partner in 2006 and increased revenue by 40% in the first year. In 2011, Barry successfully built a restaurant from the ground up.
His philosophy is simple: "The key to success is hard work and that is something I am not afraid of. I provide solutions for my clients and will not give up until I can give them that solution that works for them."
Barry is a native Californian and was a lifelong resident of the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles until late 2022. He now resides in Las Vegas, NV with his wife of 37 years, Evie. They share their home with their 9-year-old Golden Retriever, Shmuli, their 5 year old Golden Doodle, Jonah and their 1 ½ year old Standard Poodle, Mordechai, as well as taking in and helping wayward souls get "back on their feet" from time to time. In his spare time, he enjoys gourmet cooking, fine wine, poker, and travel.
