Barbara Harris

I have been a life-long resident of Westchester; born and raised in Scarsdale, and a Bedford resident for many years. After having graduated from The American University, I received my graduate degree from The University of Arizona. I spent many years as a middle school teacher in Yonkers Public Schools. Many years ago I began my real estate career, and have enjoyed great success. I have consistently been in the top 20% of all Westchester Realtors, and among the top tier agents within Houlihan Lawrence. I have been active in developing a Patient Navigation System at Northen Westchester Hospital's Cancer Center, and 3 term President of the Bedford Dog Owners Group. There is great delight in working with buyers and sellers of any price range. . Fellow Realtors know that working with insures the transaction closes. Most important is the transaction- and personality gets put aside. Other agents know that all parties will be treated fairly and honestly. I take pride in my follow-up, and attention to detail; providing exceptional service to both buyers and sellers.
