Making a discernible difference in the way things are done. Caring enough to put in the extra effort to make sure an experience is positive. Seeking change. These are all goals Barbara Brundige aims for daily with her “can-do” attitude. She always looks for ways to help others. Then she does what she can to make the world a little better. Making small differences—one by one—can lead to great accomplishments.
Working as Partners is a Winning Combination
Barbara believes the key to successful results is teamwork. She is open to suggestions. This applies to any situation—running a successful household, competing in athletics, operating a large business. Barbara has successfully demonstrated her partnership approach at home when raising her four sons, on the court during her days as a tennis standout, and as owner and executive director of North Shore Day School and Camp in Glen Cove.
Barbara and her husband, James, bought this facility from her mother in 1972. She rose to the challenge of increasing the school enrollment from 50 children to 200. She also was responsible for overseeing 125 employees, writing programs, ordering supplies, handling payroll and paying the bills.
Barbara's Efficiency Benefits Others
This efficiency and success at juggling multiple tasks at once isn’t an easy feat for someone less organized than Barbara. What she realized was that the input of those around her is crucial to the success of any operation. “Teamwork is what holds it all together,” Barbara says. After 20 years managing North Shore Day School, she decided to take her business know-how and expertise to a new vocation and became a real estate professional. It was a natural transition.
Sensitivity to Relocation : Buyers
Born and raised on Long Island’s North Shore, Barbara is an expert on the market’s homes, estates and farms. She has watched the area’s changes, trends and growth for decades. Barbara knows the communities—where the best neighborhoods, recreation, entertainment and shopping are located. If you’re moving here, she can quickly find the property that fits your personal style and financial goals because she is so familiar with the houses available. You can’t go wrong with Barbara directing your search, always involving you in selecting houses to preview so no time is wasted viewing properties that don’t meet your needs.
Service Beyond the Ordinary : Sellers
Barbara also understands that selling a home is not always convenient. She offers a property-management service that is not usually offered. For instance, if an attorney asks Barbara to handle an estate sale and the property is empty and in need of repairs, she takes care of all the details. “As part of my service, I will manage a home which may include scheduling workers to touch up problem areas and putting in a temporary tenant if necessary,” Barbara says. She also supervises lawn services and snow plowing.
More important than going the extra mile for you is her approach to your transaction. Barbara works with you—you just tell her your needs and specifications. She listens closely, then goes to work mapping out a plan that is tailored specifically to your requests while serving as a counselor, informing you of all your options so you can make educated decisions.
