Barry Tartarkin
Real Estate Agent
Barry Tartarkin isn’t your average real estate agent. That’s why ONE Sotheby’s International Realty brought him on board. Tartarkin says his 30 years spent building a lifestyle brand with his partner in women’s apparel prepared him for his next chapter in life.
“I was interested in Sotheby’s because of the way they support their customers and market themselves. They were interested in me because of my ability to build a business from scratch and bring that customer driven attitude to real estate,” says Tartarkin, who split his time between New York and Boca Raton before moving here permanently last year.
Tartarkin has “dabbled” in real estate in New York City for years. It wasn’t until he sold his company that he made it his full-time passion.
“I am fortunate that I don’t have to sell real estate because of financial considerations, but because I find it fulfilling, says Tartarkin.
A resident of Broken Sound, Tartarkin knows the community as well as anyone. “There are very exciting times ahead for Broken Sound, with the new clubhouse opening soon and the Old Course renovation getting started as well.”
He adds, “COVID-19 has brought many changes and a new way to show and sell real estate is one. I visit each home myself before showing a client both for their safety and to be sure it’s the right home for them. This limits the clients’ exposure and makes the most efficient use of their time.”
“Whether it’s a first home or multimillion-dollar estate, I treat each client the same way and offer them the same support and resources,” says Tartarkin.
Although the real estate market has been somewhat chaotic these days, Tartarkin says he helps his clients not get swept up in the chaos.
“There are houses to buy, the inventory is similar to what it has always been, it’s just that the number of buyers is higher, and prices are elevated. I just have to work harder to put those two things together,” says Tartarkin, who is always up for the challenge.
