He was a brilliant man. That’s too bad.

Dear friends,
My good friend Bernard (Barney) Hale Zick, one of the most influential real estate educators of our time passed on this morning. He resided in Kingwood, Texas and is survived by his wife, Karen and several children.
Let’s all pray for his family.
Thank you,

Incredible loss to the industry - Posted by John Behle

Barney was one of the few people in the real estate industry with as much education and experience. In my opinion the average IQ and creativity of the entire real estate industry just dropped with his loss.
Everyone in this industry has been influenced for the better by Barney whether they have even heard of him before. He was the educator of educators and when it comes to creative techniques, there is little new here that wasn’t taught by Barney years ago. Many of the new courses, techniques and strategies that people rave about are not new, but re-packaged ideas of Barney’s.
Barney was one of my favorite people and one of the people in this industry I most repect. I took some other courses before taking a two day seminar of Barney’s back in about 1979 - but no course before or since may have influenced me more. He literally cracked my skull open and expanded my brain creatively like no other. Barney took me to my first exchange meeting and was always one of my favorite faces to see at a convention or event.
I will dearly miss him.

I saw him speak about a year ago - he was outstanding and really cared about his students. He appeared to be a young man so I’m guessing this was something sudden and tragic that happened. My heart goes out to his family.
