"I highly recommend Larry!

He walked me through every step of selling my home during these uncertain times. Larry is extremely knowledgeable and professional and always answered all of my questions in a timely manner. He never hesitated to go the extra mile to make sure this process went as smoothly as possible. Whether you are looking to sell your home or buy a home, Larry won't let you down!"

Matthew Koster 176 Farber Drive, West Babylon, NY 11704

I have worked with Larry on two separate occasions.

The first time when I bought my place, the second, when I sold it. On both occasions Larry was pleasant, easy to work with and professional. Larry took the time to respond to all my questions in a timely manner, and in a way that was easily understood. I highly recommend Larry to anyone that is looking for an excellent, and professional Real Estate Broker.

Michele Greco, North Babylon Co-Op Seller

"I am a widow for 18 months now so looking to buy a home for the first time by myself was a scary venture.

Larry showed me many co-ops and was very informative about each complex. Took over a year of looking and he never was impatient or pushy. He answered all my questions that really helped me ultimately make the right decision for me. Larry "gets the job done"-- he is completely professional, diligent, knowledgeable and easy to work with, making this experience not so scary after all!"

Carolyn Shlesinger 3104 Wilshire Ln # C4, Oakdale, NY 11769

"Larry was a pleasure to work with.

He was an absolute professional. He was knowledgeable about the whole process and really took the time to understand what we were looking for. He was persistent in getting us into the houses we wanted to see. He was also patient, as the process took us over 6 months, and he never gave up. He always responded quickly to our messages. We highly recommend Larry if you are buying or selling your residence."

Anthony & Theresa Cipolla, Home Purchasers 350 37th St, Lindenhurst, NY 11757

"I will quote from the pizza box.

"You've tried all the rest now try the best". Larry was great to work with. He was a pleasure to deal with, very knowledgeable at his profession and will definitely recommend and use him for any future real-estate sales."

Joe & Amy Guercio, Co-Op Sellers 144 Millard Ave, West Babylon, NY 11704

We have had the chance to use Larry Barasch two times and both times we were very happy with the service he provided and the knowledge he had about the co-op development.

Jim & Liz

Jim & Liz Faulhaber, Co-Op Seller

"Anyone who is looking for a realtor should look no further than Larry.

As a first time homebuyer, in a pandemic no less, Larry made the entire process flawless. I just closed on a co-op in West Babylon. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the board requirements and made sure all of my questions and concerns were answered along the way. He was consistently available and always willing to take time out of his day to make this experience as easy as possible for me."

Kerri Friel 181 Farber Drive, West Babylon, NY 11704

"I first met Larry about 9 years ago when I first started looking for a co-op, he was so knowledgeable and took time to educate me throughout the process.

When it came time to look for a house I reached out to Larry without hesitation, this time buying and selling again a wonderful experience." 158 Montgomery Ave, West Babylon, NY 11704

Andrea Buzan-Home Buyer

"I have known Larry for over twenty years.

We met when he was representing the seller of a co-op in Babylon that I was purchasing. Larry ended up helping me purchase the co-op and did more to help me than the person I paid to represent me! That stuck with me, and I have been faithful to Larry ever since, through one co-op and three house sales and even helping me with a few rentals. He has become more than just a real estate agent; he is a trusted friend. My mother is in Smithtown and I will be selling her house soon. There is no other choice for me or my family. We are going with Larry. I could list a dozen examples of how Larry went above and beyond what you might expect from a real estate agent. But I do not have to. If you are reading this looking for guidance, give Larry a chance to be your Agent. I can say with absolute certainty, you will be very glad that you did!"

Steven Blindbury, Home Seller 175 41st St., Lindenhurst, NY 11757

"Larry was absolutely terrific.

Initially I was blind going in this process a little on edge and skeptical. Especially after hearing so many horror stories about selling and moving. Larry was always available and extremely knowledgeable. This process was a lot more smooth, quick and enjoyable because of how efficient he was and his availability. He never once made us feel uncomfortable or a that we were a hassle. He is very good at what he does. I highly highly recommend him. My family and I sincerely appreciate all of his hard work!"

Vincent Muscato 706 Everdell Ave, West Islip, NY 11795

Larry is great to work with.

He always gets back to you in a timely manner and was very helpful throughout the entire process. He made purchasing a home an enjoyable and low stress process.

Colleen Meyer., Co-Op Purchaser

Larry was professional in his conduct end to end, thoroughly knowledgeable and trustworthy, a realtor I'd highly recommend every time.

In the listing and sale of our house he was in constant communication at every step and honest.

Brian Karpin 17 Shaw Ave, Babylon, NY 11702

Larry is a one of a kind, no nonsense person.

He was very straight forward and I appreciated that. He always kept in touch during the entire process of closing our deal. He's knowledgable and definitely somebody I would recommend to anyone looking to buy property. Thank you for everything.

Joanna Restrepo, North Babylon Co-Op Purchaser

Larry was an absolute pleasure to work with.

He is very professional, reliable, honest and is a master at his craft. Larry is definitely the broker that you want in your corner, "to fight the fight", during the very stressful real estate process. I can honestly say, if not for Larry, I would not be living where I am now. He truly made it happen for me and I cannot be more thankful to him.

Jane Callahan, Co-Op Purchaser 109 Farber Drive, West Babylon, NY 11704

"Larry was extremely helpful and an amazing Realtor.

Both of us being first time home buyers, without him helping us through the paper work, I don’t think we could have done it without him. He is extremely knowledgeable in the housing market and is very quick to have your back or explain anything without confusion. Great experience and highly recommended!!"

Maria Marascia & Raymond Williams, Co-Op Purchasers 192 Millard Ave, West Babylon, NY 11704

"Larry was so helpful with selling our co-op.

He was extremely knowledgeable and took care of everything for us. We always felt that we were in great hands and never had to worry about anything. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor."

Jillian Rotolo & Keith Wheeler 171 Millard Ave W, West Babylon, NY 11704

My experience working with Larry was excellent.

He was open and honest and willing to spend the time necessary. When it comes to Long Island, Larry is very knowledgeable, when it comes to Fisherman's Wharf he is simply the best. I certainly appreciate all of his support and enjoyed working with him!

Ken Kamper, West Babylon Co-Op Purchaser

I worked with Larry first when I needed to sell my co-op and it was hands down the best decision I have made when it comes to real estate.

He was very helpful with the whole process and guided me the correct way anytime I had a question. I then used him again a few months later when I was buying a house. He went above and beyond during the process and took care of any issue that came up. And any one he recommended to me was also the very best at what they do. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!

Fisherman's Wharf Co-Op Seller

Larry is a one of a kind guy.

If anyone is old enough to remember Dick Clark in American Bandstand I give him a 10 he's got a good beat, he's on time and has good rhythm until the end. We've used him multiple times over the last twenty five years that says a lot.

Jean Gustafson, Sayville Condo Seller

I first met Larry when he was the realtor representing the sellers of my first home purchase.

He was more than helpful with every single step of the process. I would not have been able to get through the process without him. He is a master with any and all information about buying and selling co-ops. I was so impressed with his expertise, I contacted him to represent me in the sale of my co-op. I was extremely pleased with him on the other end of things. He was able to get it sold extremely quickly. Trust me; you will not find another realtor with as much knowledge and experience.

Fisherman's Wharf Co-Op Seller

"I have been working with Larry for 20 years, a few rentals and a home purchase and sale.

It is hard to articulate the proper words relating to everything Larry has done for my family. My only regret is that I am moving out of state and will not be able to work with Larry in the same capacity (although he is finding a realtor for me). Larry will give you the truth and not just try and sell you on property. You cannot go wrong in selecting Larry to help assist you in your search or in selling your property. A+ Thanks again Larry!!!!!"

Joshua Reilert, Co-Op Seller 3 Redwood Court, Selden, NY, 11731

"Larry was there for us through all the trials and tribulations we experienced with this sale.

We have owned our home for over 33 years and the process was very new to us. Larry took the reins and led us on a very successful path. He was willing to go above and beyond to meet our needs by holding multiple open houses, taking control while on vacation and stepping in to make the closing possible in our absence. We are grateful for all the time and effort Larry put into this sale and would highly recommend him to our friends and family."

Anna Marie & Patrick Brooks, Home Sellers 73 Arline Ln, East Islip, NY 11730

Larry has been excellent to work with!

He did everything he could to ensure we got our dream home and WE DID! He didn’t give up on us even though we were picky and took a while to find our home. We really liked that he was knowledgeable on the specific neighborhoods we were interested in, as this made it easier for us to narrow down the areas we focused our search on. For example, which homes had gas lines available or were strictly oil heat, and where school district lines started and ended. We really appreciated his effort in communicating and the fact that he gave us space and allowed us to make decisions without any pressure. Larry looked out for our best interests throughout this entire process and we really appreciate all that he has done for us. We highly recommend Larry as a realtor for many reasons including his dedication to his job, but most importantly his honesty and for doing whatever it took to make sure we got our new home. Thanks again, Larry!

Mike & Anna Ronan, Home Purchase

"Larry was very knowledgeable about the area, and type of residence I was looking to purchase.

Even in a Seller's Market Larry was able to find me exactly what I was looking for, and in the price range I was looking at. Larry communicated openly and honestly, and kept me informed. The transaction went very smoothly, in my opinion, from start to finish. I would highly recommend Larry."

Rosemary Esposito, Co-Op Purchaser 158 Millard Ave, West Babylon, NY 11704

Larry helped me sell my condo.

He was extremely knowlegable and detail oriented. I work long hours and was not living close to the residence I was selling. Larry went above and beyond to help me sell my condo and take my place when I couldn't be there myself. I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Kari Gruenberg, Central Islip Condo Seller

"During the COVID-19 crisis, Larry was able to get many buyers viewing our house and ultimately found the right buyer in a short amount of time.

He was persistent in resolving blocking points."

Kathy Malaga 11 Maplewood Road, West Babylon, NY 11704

"Larry Barasch is a stand up guy!

He helped us sell our old house for more than we expected to receive and he helped us find the perfect new house for us. He gave us professional recommendations as well as local expertise. He is great, highly recommended."

Rory & Megan Crouse 179 Cedar Ln, Babylon, NY 11702

Larry was great with helping us find our first home.

He was very knowledgeable every step of the way. And he always kept us smiling throughout the whole process.

Colleen and Justin Delfino 11 Citrus St, West Babylon, NY 11704

Larry helped me to sell my place in Babylon and buy a place in Wantagh.

When selling my Babylon home, he was able to get me a price relatively close to what the home was listed for. When I was looking for a new home to buy, Larry brought my wife and I to many different homes before we settled on the current one. It was apparent to us that Larry did a lot of research on all of the homes, and he had an extensive knowledge of housing and real estate in general. Larry identified issues with homes, asked intelligent questions to sellers, and he was able to point out stuff to us that we would not have been able to pick up on our own. To top that off, Larry has a very good personality. He is just an amicable smart fellow.

Jeremy Rosen, Wantagh Home Purchaser

Larry's knowledge and years of experience with residential sales and co-ops is what sets him apart!

! You will find Larry to be very thorough and cuts right to the chase. Working with Larry will allow for a smooth transaction!

Jennifer O'Connor

Larry was wonderful and I was very grateful for his help in purchasing my first home.

He is very knowledgeable about the process of purchasing a co-op and his advice helped everything run smoothly. He takes the time to explain each step and is easy to contact. Thanks Larry!

Sarah Parente 106 Farber Dr, West Babylon, NY 11704

My experience with Larry was above and beyond my expectations.

He was very knowledgeable and his expertise in helping me buy my co-op was incredible. I was looking for a 1 bedroom co-op and I preferred a downstairs unit. At the time, there was no unit available downstairs. As soon as one came on the market, he called me right away. We set up an appointment to see the unit. He is so on top of everything that he does and he helped me with the paperwork needed to buy the unit. He answered all my questions, and he knew everything about the co-op rules and regulations. His expertise in his field is incredible. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends

Cynthia Jennings, West Babylon Co-Op Purchaser

Larry was the best!

He guided us through the selling process and answered all our questions. His suggestions and recommendations were spot on and we were very satisfied with results.

Michael Karpin 17 Shaw Ave, Babylon, NY 11702

Larry sold my place in one day!

That was after he advised me to do a few things and after doing them I got a full price offer on the listing. Larry's knowledge and experience was priceless.

Nancy Geiselman, Co-Op Seller 236 Farber Drive, West Babylon

I worked with Larry when I was looking for my first co-op.

I had no idea how the process worked and he was extremely knowledgeable. He explained every detail and had an answer for every question (and I had a lot!). He was very responsive via e-mail as well. The co-op process is a bit lengthy but he kept me informed the whole time and did whatever he could to help. I will definitely recommend him and use him in the future.

Jennifer Jemison, West Babylon Co-Op Purchaser

"I have now purchased and sold a home with Larry.

When I purchased my first home a few years ago, he made the process as simple and efficient as possible. When I decided to move and sell that home, I was equally as impressed with Larry. He is extremely knowlegable, responsive and easy to work with. His expertise and passion are unparalleled. During both the buying and selling process, I always felt Larry always had my best interest in mind and would highly recommend Larry to family or friends."

Jason Aro 110 Millard Ave., West Babylon, NY 11704

Larry is the absolute best!

He was there for me every single step of the way! Being a first time home buyer can be a stressful process. If it wasn't for Larry I don't think I would have been able to do it! Highly recommend!!"

Baxter Fenkohl 161 Lexington Ave, West Babylon, NY 11704

"We honestly can’t say enough about Larry.

He was the agent when my wife and I rented a co-op unit and then again when we purchased our home. It took us a couple years to finally find our home and he never made us feel like we were wasting his time with anything. He is funny, knows his stuff, will tell it like it is and won’t try to sugarcoat anything. I highly recommend Larry to anyone looking for a home or rental, you won’t be disappointed."

Jeremy Hearty 48 Merritt St, West Islip, NY 11795

"Larry was our realtor for both the selling of our co-op and the purchase of our house.

He was helpful, prompt, professional and available every step of the way. Even through the unknowns brought by the pandemic, Larry was there every step of the way."

Danielle & David O'Rourke, 13 Willow Street, Sayville, NY

A few years ago Larry helped us sell a house that my family had inherited.

After that very positive experience I knew that when the time came to put our house on the market I wanted to work with him. I can't think of anything more that Larry could have done for us than he did. First, his patience -- over the past 5 years Larry graciously fielded questions from us as we readied the house for sale. His advice was very important to the successful sale of our house. Larry worked closely with us on a strategy for listing and showing the house that met our needs and resulted in a quick offer. Throughout the selling process Larry was very responsive to calls, texts and emails. We were never in the dark about anything. Larry knows Long Island real estate. He is honest, fair and very responsible is setting realistic expectations. If you work with Larry you will be in good hands.

Brian Schmitt 180 E John St, Lindenhurst, NY 11757

"My wife and I just closed on our home in Babylon a few days ago.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give Larry Barasch an 11. No I'm not an easy marker. I just want to give a fair and accurate appraisal. Larry exceeded all our expectations. First he did a complete and unbiased review of our house - both good and not so good. Then he gave us his research as well as his recommendation on a selling price. Larry, my wife and I met and we were impressed with his knowledge of the area and his honesty so we agreed on the selling price he had proposed. As our primary residence was now out of state we wanted to close as soon as possible while still getting as high a price as possible. We also worried that if the price were too high - it might take a long time for a buyer to commit. It turned out that we got a buyer fairly quickly at the price Larry suggested. So he knows his market. As I said, we were living out of state during the time between the offer and the closing. As it happens there were unforeseen problems with the house that we had to fix including a leaking oil burner (now entirely replaced) and a bees nest that had to be removed. Larry went above and beyond to help us with these and other issues as we were not living in the house at the time. I would also commend Larry for his timely communication with us. As we were not living in the house we had no idea who or how many people saw the house, what they said, etc. He had just the right level of letting us know what was going on without being annoying. Larry was also very responsive to answering our questions. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. My wife and I were very pleased with the outcome."

Craig & Sharon Pullen 607 Long Pl, Babylon, NY 11702

Hi Larry, Thanks for all your help with selling the house so quickly at a fair price, and for making sure we had a new home before moving out.

The timing and closing dates were perfectly coordinated, allowing us to make the move in 1 day. Have a Happy New Year!

The Johnson Family Sold: 97 Baltimore Street, Bay Shore, NY Purchased: 58 Birchwood Rd., Coram, NY

So happy to use Larry Barasch again!

He is the most knowledgeable real estate agent I know. Always honest and upfront and there for your needs. I have used him for buying and selling and wouldn't use anyone else if need be in the future!

Tricia Zukowski, West Islip Home Seller

"Larry was great!

He was very knowledgeable on the area, the development and the property. He was available when needed to get into the property and was a great help in the buying process. His expertise in the development I purchased in made the whole process very simple and easy."

Ilyssa Papa, Co-Op Purchaser 144 Millard Ave, West Babylon, NY 11704

"Larry was beyond helpful when we were buying our home.

He was incredibly knowledgeable about each of the areas we were looking in and answered all of our questions with ease and patience. We are first time home buyers and he walked us through each step of the process. He was always available for questions and went out of his way to make sure we saw as many houses as we could. We would definitely recommend Larry to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

Jillian & Keith Wheeler 58 Hawthorne Ave, West Babylon, NY 11704

Larry made the purchase of my first place simple and efficient.

He was extremely knowledgeable of the facility that I was purchasing in as well as the surrounding area. He was quick to respond to me as well as any issues or questions that arose along the way. He provided a team of people that assured that I was looked out for every step of the way. I would definitely recommend working with Larry, his expertise and passion are unparalleled!

Jason Aro, West Babylon Co-Op Purchaser

In my situation, Larry was the seller's agent, however I would like to say he was amazing, extremely knowledgeable regarding the co-op community I purchased and he is still assisting me regarding a few issues and I closed on the co-op on June 30th.

Between my realtor & Larry, this exhausting process was made that much easier.

Jean Zier, West Babylon Co-Op Purchaser

"Larry was a pleasure to work with.

He helped us find a house through several long months and too many houses to count. We went from Massapequa to Northport to Lake Grove trying to find our perfect home. He is direct and concise and tells you how it is without sugarcoating. He responds to text and emails in an expedient manner and always arrived before us for all of our appointments. We cannot thank Larry enough and would recommend him 100 percent."

Mike & Kelly LaRosa, Home Purchasers Massapequa Park NY 11762

"I knew Larry was the realtor for us right from the beginning.

..straight forward, honest and reliable. Sold our house quickly and for a price that surprised us!"

Patty-Seller: 833 N Fulton Ave, Lindenhurst, NY

"Larry is everything you want in an agent hands down.

He knows the areas like the back of his hand, and he is always honest and straight up with you. We first met Larry in 2019 when he sold our Co-Op. He knew the complex very well, the comps, and told us what to expect and he was right on the money, and in one week we had an offer and it was sold. Then a year later we reconnected with Larry when we were ready to buy our home. And now being on the buyer end, once again, his knowledge of the island and experience of over 25 years in the business definitely shows. His patience and honesty is second to none, especially when you bombard him with a million questions at once. He takes the time to explain it all to you. And when you call or email, his response is usually very quick. We had a great experience with Larry, and we will 100% recommend him to anyone we know looking to buy or sell." Patrick & Karen Lombardo 1331 Ackerson Blvd, Bay Shore, NY 11706

"Larry came highly recommended to my wife and I by my brother who had just used him as both his buying and selling agent. Working with Larry was truly an exceptional experience. From the very first conversation, Larry was patient, knowledgeable, and completely committed to helping us find the perfect home for our family. Massapequa is a very difficult market to navigate but having Larry in our corner made us feel at ease throughout the entire search. Larry would send us houses that exactly fit our need and never pressure us into viewing anything that wasn’t what we wanted. Anytime an open house or new house would hit the market Larry was all over it and would get us in to see it immediately which is very important in this market. Larry submitted a well detailed offer that certainly helped us win the deal on our home. Even through the process of gathering the loan and to closing Larry was ontop of things and ensuring everything is moving along to closing. I cannot say enough good things about Larry and how great of an agent he is. He helped me and my family find the beautiful home we are about to move in to and we HIGHLY recommend Larry!!"

"Me and my husband were recommended to Larry by a family member and it was a great recommendation! He helped us find our first home. Larry is beyond knowledgeable, trustworthy and has great patience explaining how the process works. Once we were ready to sell our home it was a must to have him help close a chapter.

"Larry represented us as both the listing agent for our co-op and the buyer’s agent for our new home. He developed a strategy to sell our co-op quickly and efficiently, guiding us through the process with clear communication and expert advice. At the same time, he worked diligently to ensure our offer on our dream home was accepted in a highly competitive market. Larry was always responsive and professional when it came to any obstacles and concerns that presented themselves along the way, and there were many! We are forever grateful to Larry and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and results-driven real estate professional."

With my busy work schedule he went out to visit a few places for me on his own time and had all of the information on every single property I was interested in. He explains everything well and was always quick with responses. I can't imagine this process without him, especially as a first time buyer!"
