Barry Gray is a Senior Partner specializing in the marketing and sale of residential architecture, historic properties and design-centric homes. He is also part of a team of Deasy Penner agents that developed the firm’s successful multi-unit division.
He has represented both buyers & sellers of architectural & historic homes designed by early twentieth century icons Arthur & Nina Zwebell, mid-century masters Richard Neutra & Raphael Soriano, classic Southern California architects Richard Dorman, Ed Fickett, Donald Wexler & Gregory Ain, and numerous contemporary architects currently working in Southern California.
His "farm" is a style of home, not a particular area, so he has sold property from the Westside of Los Angeles, to the Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz & Silver Lake, Pasadena, and even Palm Springs.
Prior to joining Deasy Penner & Partners, Barry was manager of Mossler, Deasy & Doe Realtors of Beverly Hills and created the popular architecture website, www.architectureforsale.com.
Barry transitioned into real estate from the film business, where he was involved in independent film finance, distribution and marketing. While traveling extensively around the world to attend film markets and festivals he discovered his interest in architecture. In addition to real estate, Barry is an accomplished photographer and music video director…and is even a produced screenwriter

"Barry has represented us in both the sale and purchase of our homes. Su and I both credit Barry with “getting” what we were looking for when buying and even more importantly “finding” the right buyers for what we were selling. There is a calmness about Barry’s approach to his work that creates a smooth, stress-free, experience and makes the thought of working with any other agent nearly impossible."
