Lisa Barr’s passion is helping people achieve their real estate goals. With over a decade of experience serving sellers and buyers throughout San Diego she brings strong negotiation skills, community knowledge, and innovative marketing that ensures sellers get top dollar and buyers get their dream home.
Lisa was born and raised in a Navy family in the bay area where she watched her parents build wealth through real estate. Lisa bought her first home at age 21 and at that moment she knew real estate and investing was in her blood. She wants her daughter Kendall to grow up experiencing the power of real estate and possibly finding a passion in it as well.
Prior to becoming a REALTOR ® , she spent 10 years in the Mortgage industry where she was able to learn the business from a completely different angle. Lisa’s past experience enabled her to become a top producer in a short amount of time. Above real estate, her clients are number one. As a real estate investor, landlord, and vacation property owner herself, she understands that every transaction and property is unique. Lisa doesn’t take an umbrella approach and treat every deal the same. Instead, she adapts to every unique client and scenario to truly make the experience as seamless as possible for anybody she represents.
“Working with Lisa was a pleasure. She was somehow able to make what easily could have been a very stressful event enjoyable. Having gone through multiple real estate transactions in the past, it was refreshing to work with someone who was always there to communicate some of the finer details about the process, as well as have a sounding board to run ideas off of as we were looking at options. Lisa was never too busy to take us out to view yet another possible home and always brought a deep level of insight on things to be aware of about the neighborhoods, the situation and condition of the homes we would preview, and even made suggestions at each home on how to best utilize space to fit our needs. I would not only recommend Lisa to anyone in my network looking to buy or sell a home, but I know she will be my REALTOR ® in the future.”

“Lisa was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in the purchase of my condo. She went out of her way to confirm that the problem issues in the inspection report were taken care of and was instrumental in achieving the quick closure that I desired. Additionally, Lisa had the condo cleaned and in excellent move-in condition.”
Teri D.
“Lisa was wonderful to work with. She was thoughtful, patient, and very knowledgeable. Throughout the process, she was communicative and listened to all opinions on what we were looking for. She had to juggle 4 adults and 2 young children on tours for multiple days and was professional and kind throughout.”
Christine S.
“I worked with Lisa and her associate Chris in selling my father’s home in Carlsbad, which was subject to probate. Their knowledge and expertise was extremely helpful in navigating this complicated sale. I would highly recommend Lisa as I felt as though I was working with a trusted friend.”
Paige S.
“While other real estate agents dismissed my request for assistance with “good luck” message, Lisa Barr took time, interest, and care to find the right 4+2 rental house for us. Lisa was also extending assistance in case we needed them, such as helping us understand the lease agreement, etc.. many thanks to Lisa!

When Pantone introduced the 2022 Color of the Year, they noted how the periwinkle Veri Peri “blended the faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red.” In what seems like a worthy evolution, Pantone has stripped out the blue, embracing the vibrancy of red this year. Introducing the 2023 Color of the Year, Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta.
A “nuanced” crimson red with a balance between warm and cool, Viva Magenta is “brave and fearless, a pulsating color whose exuberance
promotes optimism and joy,” says Pantone. They describe the color as empowering, animated, electrifying, boundaryless, audacious, witty, and perfect for “anyone and everyone with the same rebellious spirit.”
However, unlike power reds that paint a space in fiery boldness, Viva Magenta brings a softer touch. “Assertive but not aggressive, it is a carmine red that does not boldly dominate but instead takes a ‘fist in a velvet glove’ approach,” says Pantone Color Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman.
The “transformative” hue also has the ability to drive design toward “a more positive future,” with application in both the physical and virtual world. “As virtual worlds become a more prominent part of our daily lives, we look to draw inspiration from nature and what is real,” says Eiseman. To that end, Viva Magenta was inspired by the cochineal, a natural red dye derived from insects and one which Pantone says is “one of the strongest and brightest (pigments)” in the world. “Rooted in the primordial, Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta reconnects us to original matter,” she says. “Invoking the forces of nature, it galvanizes our spirit, helping us to build our inner strength.”
is, perhaps, to be expected. So, too, will be its emergence in home design.
As Architectural Digest notes, “Residential and commercial interiors (are) a natural next step,” and “kitchens (and kitchen appliances), which have long harbored a respect for red, can be imbued with ‘a touch of newness’ via Viva Magenta.”
Pantone invites us to “harness the full power of the Color of the Year as a velvet couch or lacquered wall. Or, use it in smaller doses, as a pop of color in lighting, textiles, art, or tabletop accents. “Viva Magenta packs a lot of drama in a small dose,” they say.
Pantone will showcase Viva Magenta through several partnerships: Motorola is releasing a special edition of its Edge 30 Fusion phone in the 2023 Color of the Year; Motorola parent company Lenovo will feature the color in its PC and tablet category; Spoonflower will introduce one-of-a-kind designs by six independent artists featuring a custom color palette, including Viva Magenta; and The Hydrow Wave Rower will break out of the traditional blackand-steel aesthetic of home fitness machines with new colorways including a special-edition version in Viva Magenta, “allowing for selfexpression and celebration in even the most unexpected of places.”

With a mixture of the Argentinean, Andean and Bolivian cultures, cuisine influence and traditions, Salta offers the perks of a large city while keeping the pace and comfort of a small town. Mountains and rivers, impressive museums, candlelit cafes, and vibrant peñas (folk-music clubs)... Salta has something for everyone. Subtle sophistication? Check. Unique gastronomy? Check. Plaza-side romance? Check. The most touristed spot in northwest Argentina is calling your name! Commonly known as Salta la Linda, the translation of the name says it all… “Salta the Pretty.” With a mixture of the Argentinean, Andean and Bolivian cultures, cuisine influence and traditions, Salta offers the perks of a large city while keeping the pace and comfort of a small town. Mountains and rivers, impressive museums, candlelit cafes, and vibrant peñas (folk-music clubs)... Salta has something for everyone.
In addition to the delicious foods, nature, and personality that the region is known for, Salta is also famous for their excellent quality wines, thanks to the Torrontés grape which is only found in Argentina. Torrontés has flavors of orange peel, peaches, honey, oregano, chamomile and muscat grape. The balance between acidity and fruit flavors make it appear as a sweet wine but turns out to be a magnificent dry wine. Pair your wine with delicious meals, spend a few days touring the sights of Salta, then rent a car to hit the road and explore the northwest.
