About Maureen (Moe)
MAUREEN BARBER, Realtor Associate
RE/MAX Northern Palm Beaches
Specialiizing in all of Northern Palm Beach County!
I have been working the Northern Palm Beaches in residential real estate sales for 10 years.
I was raised in the Detroit Michigan suburb of Allen Park whose claim to fame is Bob Seger (who played at the local high school dances before making it big). I moved to South Florida in 1973 with my family when I was in the 10th grade.I am proud of my mid-western upbringing and still feel that, even after being gone for 35 years, my strong mid-western values, that were instilled in my at a very early age, define the person that I am today. I still visit my friends and family back in Michigan as often as I can. I have a group of 7 girlfriends that I travel to Michigan often to see, we all met in the 7th grade, we hung out together then and still do today. My future goal is to one day be a "Florida Snow Bird" and have a second home in Northern Michigan, an incredibly beautiful area that I consider a "well kept secret"..
I attended college late in life with a goal of becoming a general contractor; I had worked for builders and developers for many years and really loved building and design. Somewhere along the way, while interviewing for a position in the contracting field, I was convinced by a local Real Estate developer that I should combine my strong sales background and my knowledge of building and design and sell Real Estate. He offered me a position with his company once I got my license. With a little nudge to change paths, I have since been grateful for his advice.That was 10 years ago and I have never looked back; even in the toughest markets. I found that as a Real Estate agent I do so much more than just "SELL". My job requires me to wear many different hats. My work involves creative marketing, mortgages, title work, advertising and design, graphic design, personal consulting, hand holding, negotiating, psychology and a good old fashioned people pleasing personality. This career has been so personally rewarding to me over the years, it is such a wonderful feeling to find a family the perfect home and take them rom the "search" to "contract" to "closing" to "seeing the finished product" once they have settled in. At the end of every transaction I want to know that I have been the best I could be and have earned another loyal client who will always feel comfortable referring me to others. The majority of my business has always been based on referrals from past clients, friends and family. Some of my closest friends today, I first met as clients, another very rewarding aspect of my business.
MY PHILOSOPHY: I have taken my "old fashioned" mid-western upbringing and incorporated it into my Real Estate business. In this "super-sized" world I approach all of my clients with a "MOM and POP" business attitude. I go the extra mile to make all my buyer's and seller's feel as if they are my only clients.I believe in earning my income the old fashioned way, I work for it! I am not an "assembly line listing agent" just looking to close another deal and collect a paycheck. I have a very strong work ethic, at the end of each deal I want to feel that I have earned my paycheck.
MY WEBSITE: I have put a great deal of time and effort into designing my website with much more in mind than just bringing in new business. My goal is for this site to be a resource tool that you will keep coming back to. My resources page offers loads of local information. On my site you can find anything from local school information to shopping and dining to "Maureen's recommendations". this is my way of referring those who I feel have earned my trust. I have listed everything from my favorite handyman to my favorite restaurant. Please spend some time roaming around this site, and do save it in your favorites. I guarantee you will find it to be helpful.
MY PASSION: Other than family, friendships and work, anything Mother Nature has to offer has always been my passion. I am an avid animal and nature lover. I have recently created an amazing wildlife sanctuary in my back yard. My home backs to a preserve where I now have several different species of birds feeding at the multiple feeders, gopher tortoises that often stop by to nibble on the cracked corn that I leave out for them and a raccoon that has gotten so comfortable that she now lies down on her belly while enjoying peanuts and sunflower seeds. I have 2 dogs, (an 11 ½ year old Weimerainer (Max Barber) and a Basset Hound (Annabelle) who are both rescues.They have gotten used to my backyard preserve and now just enjoy the scenery as I do.
As a RE/MAX agent I give back to the community by participating in the Re/Max sponsored CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK and the SUSAN G. KOMEN for the CURE.Independently I am dedicated to many causes, particularly those that focus on animal rescue and anything nature.
