A Timeless Relationship: Barry Berg Fosters Seamless Transitions

Trust and expertise transform real estate from ordinary to extraordinary, which was paramount for Hunt Greene and Jane Piccard. After 37 years in their picturesque Lake Minnetonka residence, Hunt and Jane recently transitioned to a nearby townhome. Their journey was marked by a steadfast partnership with the Berg Larsen Group.

“Barry Berg’s name is synonymous with excellence in the Minnesota real estate scene, “ says Hunt, who first met Barry during their time at Harvard Business School in the ‘70s.

When Hunt and Jane first arrived in Minnesota in 1976, Barry was there to guide them through the purchase of their initial home. A decade later, they sought Barry's expertise to sell their first house and transition to the stunning Lake Minnetonka property they called home for nearly four decades.

As they contemplated their next move, Hunt and Jane naturally turned to their longtime Realtor.

From curating listings to arranging showings and facilitating communication with sellers, Hunt and Jane relied on Barry's wisdom to navigate every facet of the home-buying and home-selling process. 

Hunt and Jane wanted to find their new home before putting their current home on the market. A townhouse on the shores of Long Lake met all their criteria, offering reduced square footage, increased privacy, and the convenience of leaving the property for extended periods. It was the perfect place to start this exciting new chapter.

From there, Barry's vast network and expertise worked wonders. His strategic approach generated substantial interest in the property, resulting in inquiries from potential buyers.

Hunt recalls, "One of the things about using a broker that's really important is I, as a seller, don't really need to talk to the buyer until the deal is done." This level of ease during a significant life transition hinges on trust, and that trust was an integral part of their experience working with Barry.

Hunt highlights Barry's impeccable organization, open communication, and decades of experience, saying, "I take what Barry says at face value. I trust it."

In a world where real estate transactions can be complex and daunting, Hunt Greene and Jane Piccard's story is a testament to the value of trust, expertise, and a lifelong relationship with a Realtor who really sets the standard.
