The Ritz Carlton group of hotels are amongst the most exclusive in the World. They have some remarkable properties in which their guests are pampered and surrounded by luxury. Yet, if you ask guests why they choose the Ritz Carlton, they are more likely to talk about the service and how they are treated. The Ritz Carlton staff have a mantra under which they come to work each day…. “We are ladies and gentlemen, serving ladies and gentlemen.”

Real estate is often spoken about as the “property business”, and yes, we certainly work with some amazing properties. But I can tell you, real estate is far less about property than it is about people. It is very much ”a people business”.

When we select someone to work with our team at Barry Plant, our very first consideration is “are they a nice person?” We value their ability to connect, to be friendly, to care and to understand. The “real estate” side of things we can teach them.

In a world where we answer the phone, often to be greeted by a telemarketer or a “bot” recorded message we feel that real estate more than ever, is about people connecting with people. Listening, understanding then making recommendations and assisting our clients with what is often a very large and emotional transaction.

Technology has a place in just about every business, but we refuse to let it take the place of our people, helping people with the sale or purchase of their home.

If you’d like to speak with one of our people about your next move, we’d love to hear from you. It’s what we do! We’d be delighted to help.
