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!

Is the hyperloop making inroads? With a new entrant in the race for high-speed, underground travel and a newly formed joint venture among seven hyperloop companies, it may be closer than ever.
Toronto-based TransPod recently introduced The FluxJet, its fully electric “hybrid between an aircraft and a train,” and announced the formation of The Hyperloop Association. The partnership includes Hardt, Hyperloop One, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, Nevomo, Swisspod Technologies, and Zeleros.
The Brussels-based association will work closely with the European Commission, the European Parliament, and Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking. The European Commission will “initiate the work on the hyperloop regulatory framework, a significant milestone for the industry, not just in Europe but worldwide,” said Ben Paczek, inaugural president of The Hyperloop Association. “In the upcoming months, we expect major developments in the hyperloop space.”
TransPod unveiled the FluxJet in a scaled-down version in Toronto last summer, complete with a live demonstration of a take-off and landing. Ryan Janzen, co-founder and CTO of TransPod, called it a “milestone” and a “major leap forward,” noting that, “The FluxJet is at a nexus of scientific research, industrial development, and massive infrastructure to address passengers’ needs and reduce our dependence on fossil-fuel-heavy jets and highways.”
TransPod expects to eventually release pods every

two minutes. They’ll have an initial capacity of 54 passengers or 10 tons of cargo, with the ability to scale up by “virtual coupling.” This will allow “multiple vehicles to be dispatched simultaneously in a train-like configuration, connected through a virtual system similar to adaptive autopilot,” they said.
The FluxJet will rely on technological advancements and innovations in propulsion, clean energy, and “contactless power transmission,” so it can pull power from the existing electric grid through magnetic fields.
That means the ability to travel at more than 620 miles per hour — faster than a jet and three times what a high-speed train can do — while emitting zero emissions.
According to a feasibility study, TransPod’s ultra-high-speed transportation system will also create as many as 140,000 jobs while adding $19.2B to the GDP. The cost for passengers to travel on the FluxJet is expected to be 44% less than the cost of a plane ticket, and the system would also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 636,000 tons per year once it’s finished.
Preliminary construction has begun on the TransPod Line, which will initially connect the Canadian cities of Calgary and Edmonton. The 175-mile trip will take just 45 minutes. TransPod’s $550 million infusion from Broughton Capital Group in cooperation with China-East Resources Import & Export Co. will help fund the test track and further research and development.
Elon Musk’s The Boring Company and Hyperloop One are the two most notable names in the hyperloop world, but so far, the talk has outpaced the results. That only adds to the excitement for TransPod.
“All the hard work over the past few years has led to this milestone moment where talk is becoming a reality,” said Sebastien Gendron, co-founder and CEO of TransPod. “The technology is proven, and we have the confidence of investors, governments, and partners to continue pushing forward to redefine transportation effectively.”
