"Michael and Richard represent the best of their profession and the real estate industry. I have worked with them on four transactions since 2015 - two sales and two purchases - and I will only do business with them in the future. Each time I decide to buy or sell real estate, I immediately contact Michael Barrow. He has taken the time to speak with me at length about my family's needs and has quickly developed a plan to get us what we need quickly and satisfactorily. Michael knows the local markets intimately and can speak competently on the difference between the neighborhoods in San Diego County, from Chula Vista to Lakeside. He and Richard provide comps with professional analysis that gives clients the tools to make informed and wise decisions on their lives' most serious transactions. I made my sales in buyer's markets and my purchases in seller's markets and Michael was still able to secure excellent prices for me in all four situations. Michael is an expert at negotiation, and I was pleasantly surprised by our bottom lines and our savings. I know from experience that some real estate agents pressure clients to jump at the first opportunity to close the sale so they can move on; not Michael and Richard. We were constantly encouraged not to pull the trigger until we were 100% comfortable with the transaction. I've toured dozens of houses with Michael over the years and he's always been completely patient and in tune to what we're looking for. That isn't merely good business - this is being ethical with clients' money. Barrow-Gutierrez is intensely client-focused and has repeatedly gone above and beyond reasonable expectations to get my family into homes that aren't just acceptable, but perfect for our changing situation. Our most recent purchase presented some strange circumstances; a difficult seller, a short-fuse escrow, a holiday season transaction, and multi-leg negotiations. Additionally, we were also expecting a baby during the escrow process. Michael was on top of everything and I can say we never felt overwhelmed by the situation. We are now in a home we love and are completely satisfied with our experience. If you're thinking about making a decision as important as buying or selling a home, you will sleep better at night when you're working with professionals like Michael and Richard."

"Richard and Michael are excellent agents! I used Richard and Michael for my first home purchase in December 2015 and then again in November 2019 when I sold my home. They are very easy to work with and made my home-buying and selling a low-stress experience. They are very knowledgeable about the housing market and know the right price points in your neighborhood to attract the right offers. I was also satisfied by their negotiation approach as they were able to get my home to a price point I was satisfied with. Home showings were easy and the advice they gave was really insightful when buying and selling. They are great agents to work with and I highly recommend them!"
