Hi. I'm Barbara.
Get to know me
I've been lucky to call some of the most beautiful places in the country home. I grew up just outside Yosemite National Park, where my parents spent decades building their real estate careers, and unknowingly sparked my own passion for it. Later, I made the move to the stunning Monterey Bay, embracing the coastal lifestyle for over 20 years.
Over time, my journey naturally led me into real estate, where I’ve combined market knowledge, lifestyle insight, and a love for connecting people with places. Today, I’m proud to merge my background with my passion for storytelling as a TV Host for The American Dream, a nationally aired, Emmy-nominated and Telly Award-winning series that showcases real estate, community, and the people who make both extraordinary.
Now based in Lake Norman, North Carolina, I continue to serve clients both locally and along the coast of California. Whether you're relocating, investing, or simply dreaming of a new lifestyle, my goal is always the same: to deliver exceptional service, build lasting relationships, and help you find more than just a home, but a place that truly fits the way you want to live.
Let’s connect and start your journey to finding a lifestyle you love.
My love for Real Estate
With over $30 million in real estate sales, I’ve helped clients coast-to-coast find more than just a home, I’ve helped them find the lifestyle they love. Whether you're buying, selling, or relocating, I bring concierge-level service, expert strategy, and a personal touch to every step of the journey.
As a host on The American Dream TV, I offer my sellers exclusive access to national media exposure. Your home doesn’t just hit the market, it hits the spotlight.
Luxury or first-time, local or cross-country, my promise is the same: white glove service, smart guidance, and a real estate experience that feels as good as the results.
Let’s make your next move effortless and unforgettable.

Aside from Real Estate...
When I’m not helping clients buy or sell their dream homes, or filming episodes for The American Dream TV, you’ll find me soaking up time with my family and our dog, ideally somewhere with sunshine, snacks, and a good playlist. I’m also passionate about giving back and proudly volunteer with Safe Alliance and the Exchange Club.
Travel is my favorite escape; whether it’s hiking through Big Sur, visiting my hometown near Yosemite, hopping on a plane to explore somewhere new, or nerding out in the Wizarding World at Universal Orlando (but really… I belong there).
I’ve run the Big Sur Marathon, completed 10 half marathons, and lost count of all the 10Ks along the way. These days, Club Pilates is also my go-to for staying strong, centered, and ready for whatever comes next, whether it's a home showing or a camera crew.
