Barbara is a Florida native, but has lived in many places including Germany, New York City, Atlanta, Charlotte, Maryland and the D.C. area before coming home to the land she loves. As an oceanfront, riverfront, and Intracoastal homeowner and investor in waterfront properties, she understands and appreciates the joys, responsibilities and "gotchas" of waterfront property. She sells what she knows and enjoys.  

Barbara organized a group of professionals in the St. Augustine area to form the St. Augustine Regional (StAR) Council in late 2010 to promote St. Augustine to individuals that are considering a move to Florida. Barbara has been on the Board of Directors for the redevelopment efforts in Vilano Beach since 1998 and has earned the name "Miss Vilano" from her fellow (and female) real estate agents.  She knows Vilano Beach's residential and commercial areas as well as anyone.
