About Barbara

I’m proud to be a dedicated real estate professional serving the stunning Montezuma and Dolores areas. My journey began in Hungary, but I moved to the United States when I was just seven. This gave me the incredible opportunity to experience different landscapes and cultures, eventually leading me to discover the rugged beauty of Southwest Colorado, which I now proudly call home.
Before entering the world of real estate, I embarked on a career in healthcare. I worked in both San Francisco and Tampa as a rad tech. This experience equipped me with skills in communication, empathy, and attention to detail – qualities that have become integral to my identity as a REALTOR.
My fascination with construction led me to pursue studies in Building Construction at the University of Florida. This educational background deepened my understanding of the structural aspects of properties, proving to be immensely beneficial when evaluating homes’ potential and value. With this knowledge, I guide my clients with confidence and precision.
Through three years of hands-on experience in property management, I gained a profound insight into property dynamics, tenant relationships, and the inner workings of homeownership in our region. As a proud member of organizations such as CAR, NAR, and the Four Corners Board of Realtors, I am committed to staying ahead of industry trends, ensuring that I provide my clients with nothing less than exceptional service.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I am an active and engaged member of the Four Corners Community. I proudly serve on the board of directors for Habitat for Humanity, a commitment that perfectly aligns with my passion for helping individuals find their ideal homes and fostering a sense of belonging for all.
Whether you’re on the hunt for your dream home, looking to sell a property, or seeking guidance, I am here to offer personalized service grounded in years of experience, unwavering dedication, and a true local’s insight.
