Want to learn even more? I knew from the start of my career in the jewelry industry that I loved having a small part in the beginning of couple’s unions. After many corporate relocations, one home in San Diego, two in Massachusetts, in 1996 we landed in Florida. I found success and my niche selling real estate where I can continue being a small part of my client’s journey of home ownership. Does that sound super cheesy? Probably. But it’s true.
Who you choose to work with makes all the difference in the results! Why? A real estate transaction is one of the biggest financial decisions you can make!

“We’d like to thank Barbara Metallo and recommend her to everyone. She dedicated, with amazing patience and resourcefulness over 2 years helping us to find the perfect Lakefront property on the Butler Chain in Windermere with acreage to build on. The owner didn’t have the property listed and without her experience, this deal would never have happened. She negotiated the right price for us, keeping in mind the existing residence would need to be torn down. In the end it was a win for us and the owner.”
Donna N.
“Where do I start, Barbara Metallo is now part of the family! She helped my son sell his first home and upgrade to a larger newly constructed home for his growing family. My son said he trusted her, she marketed his house, and negotiated with expertise and we needed to use her. Leo and I wanted to be closer to our first Grandchild, so we decided to take the leap. Barbara guided us from start to finish, was so kind and patient. She helped facilitate the sale and purchase of 4 homes without a hiccup. Even after the closing she took our calls and helped us with questions.”
Extremely grateful, Carolyn F.

She has expertise, excellent negotiating skills, very patient and responded quickly to all our questions. In addition to her impressive knowledge of real estate she took the time to listen and get to know what is important to our family. We are truly grateful Barbara is our agent and we highly recommend her."
Deanna F.
“Barbara worked hard to sell our Lakefront home, she knew what she was doing, very helpful and professional. She priced our home right for the current market. We had the house appraised and she was right. Created beautiful marketing brochures and guided us on how to present our house. She found buyers and we sold our house very quickly with no issues. Barbara kept us informed and helped us find a new home smoothly. My wife was sad to leave the home we raised our children in and didn’t want to sell it. At the closing Barbara gave us a sentimental gift, a portrait of the home we sold so my wife could always see it. You have a winner in your office, and we would and do recommend her to anyone who wants results.”
Thomas & Elly
"Barbara Metallo displayed empathy and kindness in our relocation to Florida. I mentioned in our first call before coming to Florida that my Husband was confined to a wheelchair and viewing homes would require more of her time. Barbara replied that she had all the time in the world and for me not to worry. Much to our surprise when we arrived at her office to view homes, on her own Barbara had rented a portable wheelchair ramp for easy access to view homes. She previewed all the homes we were scheduled to see to insure they were all compatible for our needs. We found our Florida dream retirement home in the Alaqua community, and we couldn’t have done this without her. She is one in a million like our new home”.
Private
"We would like to thank Barbara Metallo for helping us when work transferred us to Florida. She was the perfect match for our family. Her expertise with relocations made what could have been a very stressful time for my family easier. She was honest and informative; her knowledge of Central Florida goes beyond any realtors we have ever met. Barbara went above and beyond. Thank you for helping us when we arrived in Florida to find a home, with sadness we have been transferred yet again, Barbara Metallo continued the guidance by referring us for our relocation to a real estate person for our next home. We highly recommend Barbara Metallo to anyone. Thank you for helping and guiding us.”
