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!

Defying the universal laws of transportation, where cars drive, planes fly and boats sail, Lazzarini Design Studio has just unveiled a new flying superyacht concept that will alter everything we thought we knew about water travel. The concept vessel, named Plectrum, has been designed with hydrofoil technology, or what could be considered an underwater fin that allows the boat to lift off of the water’s surface and “fly” at top speeds (about 75 knots or 86 mph).
How does it accomplish this stunning feat, you may ask? Answer: three hydrogen-powered motors capable of 5,000 horsepower, each pushing the yacht up from underneath.
Hydrofoil technology is not new. According to the Rome-based studio, the inspiration behind the
Plectrum concept can be found in the foiling monohulls used in America’s Cup, one of the oldest international sailing yacht competitions. Said the designers in a statement: “We like to remember that in 1964, shipbuilding was already capable of similar vessel construction.”
The 246-foot, four-deck Plectrum will be equipped with plenty of splashy amenities fit to impress even the most experienced of yachtsman: a helipad, beach club, swimming pool, six guest cabins, and an owner’s suite and storage for water toys and cars.
Despite the challenges of building a hydrofoil of this size, Lazzarini Design Studio remains confident that if a buyer is found for the concept, the Plectrum could be constructed within two years. And it wouldn’t come cheap: The designers have put the cost around $86 million.
