What a great experience! We are thrilled to have chosen Rich Barnhart and By The Sea Realty to represent us for our recent home purchase. Rich was a true professional throughout the process. We had challenging circumstances, having to move on a tight deadline and seeking a location with few homes for sale. Throughout the home buying process, Rich worked diligently on our behalf to meet our needs and get us the best possible terms. He helped us close on a beautiful home, at a great value, in the neighborhood we desired. Highly recommend!

We recently used By The Sea Realty to buy our dream home. Susan was our realtor and she was amazing!! Always quick to respond, eager to help, honest and she worked hard finding us only the best houses to see. She stayed on top of every process and piece of paperwork throughout the process, and we felt safe in her hands. She was our rock star realtor and I’d recommend her 100% every time. Rich, the owner was also super nice and helpful with our questions and concerns. Overall, great company.

From the start, Susan Gauthier took the reins in handling the sale of our condo. She kept us informed, answered our questions, completed and sent forms for signing, coordinating with the
buyers and law firm to provide a seamless closing.

Susan was great. We cold called the agency and Susan picked up. Even though she was on her way to an appointment, she spent some time with me reviewing what we were looking for. She got back to me that day with some possibilities and within three weeks went to contract on our new place. She helped us all throughout the mortgage application and right through to the closing. Thank you Susan!!!!

Susan was the perfect realtor. She helped us rent a condo for a season and then we decided to buy in the area and she helped us find the right place in Lauderdale by the Sea. After a few visits she knew what we were looking for and never wasted out time. She selected a variety to show us the different areas and types. She handled the contract and closing with no issues. She did a lot of little things for us that I would never expect of a realtor. This was particularly helpful because we lived out of town. I would recommend her for anyone.

Susan Gauthier was responsive, knowledgeable, friendly and very competent; she made the process of buying our oceanfront condo a pleasure. I would highly recommend her services in any price range.

Kris Kerr was amazingly helpful whilst trying to rent out my condo in Fort Lauderdale. Due to our condo boards rules, it is "easier to get into heaven" then to be approved for a rental in our community... but Kris was always positive and always went to the trouble to vet the candidates first, so they weren't wasting their time, my time or hers! With Kris' patience and professionalism, we found the perfect tenant and I could not be more pleased! We found a gem when we met Kris and I urge anyone in need of an amazing realtor to look her up!
