BUYERS

When choosing an agent, Barbara strongly believes in working with a local market specialist, someone that “lives in and breathes” that community.

She gives pros and cons for every home, even for the homes her clients wind up buying! Barbara is there for her clients every step of the way to ensure they make the best and most informed decisions.

While Barbara primarily focuses on the Byram Hills school district (Armonk, Bedford and Pleasantville), having grown up in Westchester, she has a great sense of many of Westchester's award winning school districts and is happy to share her knowledge and experiences.
