Struggling schoolteachers Dan and Catherine Barry transitioned to real estate with Grubb & Ellis to provide for their family. Despite economic challenges, they found success and launched Barry Estates in 1991.
Real estate sales were slow, and the fledgling business struggled. Their son, Jason Barry, joined the company, introducing innovative strategies inspired by Warren Buffet’s principles: integrity, intelligence, and energy.
Laura and Jason invited their younger brother Sean to succeed their father Dan as Broker due to Dan’s declining health. Sean transitioned from mortgage brokering to assume the role.
Jason and his partners, Ryan McGovern and Kendra Gibilisco, achieved a record-breaking $500 Million in sales volume, securing the #1 spot in San Diego.
Laura and her business partner Jim Graves earned the #2 spot with over $400 Million in sales.
We are passionate about showcasing everything San Diego has to offer—from the beautiful weather and clean air to the great schools, safe neighborhoods, and vibrant culture.
