Astrong negotiator, marketer
After owning and operating three successful dance and gymnastics studios in Shelton, Monroe and Seymour, Barbara Sylvester knew that she enjoyed working with people and helping families. She made the jump to becoming a Realtor in 1996 and since then has dedicated herself to helping her clients achieve the best outcome for buying, selling, or relocating.
“My background has given me great communication skills which is so important when working with buyers and sellers,” she said. “I listen to every client’s needs and am available to them 24/ 7 to answer any questions and help resolve problems.”
Sylvester also incorporates strong negotiating skills and thorough follow- through to relieve clients of any stress involved in their transaction.
“Buying or selling can be an emotional and overwhelming experience,” Sylvester says. “I guide them through the process and help them achieve a seamless transaction.”
She prides herself in maintaining the highest level of service while being fair and honest.
“Being in the field for 22 years, I understand all aspects of this business,” she said. “I make sure my buyers understand every part of the purchase process, with sellers, I make them aware of any problems that might occur and address these issues before listing the home to make sure that everything goes smoothly.”
Sylvester utilizes exceptional marketing materials provided by William Raveis, along with digital and print advertising and social media marketing. She also takes advantage of Raveis’ extensive continuing education and training programs to keep in tune with market trends and technology, as well as leveraging the resources of their relocation department for her clients moving out of state.
A consistent multi- million- dollar sales producer, Sylvester has earned the Raveis Top Producer, Circle of Excellence and President’s Awards and has been lauded as a Five Star Real Estate Professional by Connecticut Magazine.
