Welcome to my incredible agent home page!
I'm a Cincinnati native, born and raised in the local area. My youth was filled with extra-curricular activities and organizations centered around school, church and athletics. Current hobbies of mine include spending time with the family, traveling and participating in local flower and garden clubs and creating stained glass pieces.
I grew up in the Deer Park area, so areas like Blue Ash, Kenwood, Sharonville are familiar to me. I have been married 35 years and most of those years have been east of I-275. I am located in the Mason RE/MAX office now, but was affiliated with a local competitor for 8 years in their Eastgate office covering Eastgate area as well as Anderson Twp., Amelia, Batavia, Bethel, Mt. Washington, New Richmond.

She's an Agent and a Friend - Ashley D. (Jan 06, 2009)

"Barb far exceeding my expectations as a realtor. I was a first time home buyer, but I knew what I was looking for, for the most part. She was patient and understanding.
She stayed with me ever step of the way. She had my back, just like an agent should, when things got out of hand. It was chaos the last two weeks but I felt comfortable that things would work out. I said what I wanted to happen and she was behind me making sure that we got answers.
When my loan agency dragged it's feet she was right there with me calling to push them along.
I wouldn't replace Barb with any other agent. I chose her because she has fun, pleasant to talk to, and I could tell that she was passionate about her job. When I want to buy another house or I put mine on the market I would entrust that to Barb again."
Response: "Thanks Ashley! I really appreciate you taking the time for this and I look forward to working with you and your family in the future" This review has been confirmed by the reviewer.
