"Personal attention you can count on for all your real estate needs", Barbara Newton, REALTOR Biography Even as a little girl I had a fascination with houses. I was chastised by my Mother more than once for peeping through windows of newly built or empty houses. Whenever I made a new friend, and first visited her home, I not only wanted to see her room (as most little girls do), but I wanted a complete tour of the house and grounds! When I became old enough to discover people could do that for a living, I knew it should be my career choice! I can now proudly say I have many years of experience in multiple facets of the real estate industry; including residential sales, sales administration, commercial property management, residential mortgage origination, and Internet education for Realtors. Prior to moving to South Carolina in 1989, I lived in Atlanta, Georgia for many years and received my first real estate license there in 1978. Assuring that the needs of my clients are met through attention to detail, honesty, and integrity, is my first priority. I pledge to deliver personal service you can count on, skillful negotiations on your behalf, and most importantly.... communication throughout the entire process. My goal is to make the process of selling or buying a home as smooth and worry free as possible for you. I've lived in the Lowcountry of South Carolina for many years now, and I think it is a wonderful place to live!! I hope I have the privilege to help you find your new home here. ________________________________________ EducationTruett McConnell College, Cleveland GAUniversity of Georgia, Athens, GA Real estate courses in SC and GACourses in residential mortgages for both origination and processing of loansVarious courses concerning new homes construction ________________________________________ Experience Residential real estate sales and listings.
