Barbara Schaefer
Douglas Elliman
Agent Profile
Barbara Schaefer is an experienced real estate professional who can serve your needs fluidly. Having lived in Rome, Italy for 12 years, she speaks fluent Italian and understands cultural diversity with all its nuances, which helps clients realize their unique investment dreams.
Barbara has sold townhouses, investment properties, development sites, co-ops and condos all over Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, as well as beautiful villas in Italy. More than a "salesperson," she is your guide. Barbara is ever informative, never pushy, and always attentive to ensure that your purchase or sale experience is enjoyable and successful.
Her keen intuition is a personal strength that enables Barbara to understand a client's needs and make warm, friendly connections. Equally important, and effective, is the patience, creativity, consistency and diligence she brings to her work. Holding a BFA from the University and an MFA from San Francisco State University, Barbara also has a seasoned eye for aesthetics and design thanks to her background as an artist. Outside of real estate, she is a talented visual artist who has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, most recently at a one-woman show at a museum in Italy.
