I have known Barry since the early 1990′s. He has been a great friend as well as business colleague. I have found him to be very proactive and keen to find solutions to issues. He is always looking to work with people to provide the most sensible and profitable solutions. Above all he carries out his work with a smile on his face.

We were on opposite sides of a complex sale transaction, with Barry representing a UK financial institution that had been taken over the by the govt attempting to sell a deeply challenged office building in New York City. Within the limits of his difficult assignment, Barry was professional, well-informed, straight-forward and responsive. And a pleasure to deal with on a personal level. We are obviously biased since we were on the buy side, but I think he did very well by his client.

I had the pleasure of working with Barry Gilbertson on a complicated cross border transaction involving commercial real estate in the US. He worked closely with asset managers and the Board of Directors, of which I was a member. Although Barry’s expertise is in asset management and marketing of properties, his capabilities span a broad spectrum of client needs. He thinks strategically and has a rare combination of leadership, business acumen and people skills needed to drive successful outcomes. Barry adds immense value to his cases. He is unselfish with his time and is a terrific person to work with.
