About Barbara

Business Philosophy I believe that buyers and sellers want to know what to expect during each step of the home buying or selling process. Diligent follow up and communication with my clients is first and foremost. Communicating with others involved in the transaction (attorneys, mortgage lenders, home inspectors, etc) is essential to a successful outcome. My responsibility to my buyer and seller clients is to effectively manage the transaction from beginning until the completion of that successful outcome Awards And Designations Coldwell Banker International President's Club Top 500 Realtors as seen in FORBES Magazine New Jersey Association of Realtors Circle of Excellence Awarded New Jersey Monthly Magazine Five Star Realtor for Overall Client Satisfaction Areas of Expertise Barbara's clients benefit from her 15 year background in corporate sales and management where communication, detail orientation and negotiating skills were essential to getting the job done with the best results for her team.
