Life is all about balance. While this is a concept I may have learned on the yoga mat, it definitely comes in handy in the world of real estate. It’s a critical component in successfully negotiating a deal, keeping the various players in balance, balancing expectations, and balancing personalities. The best transactions are of the “win-win” variety, where everyone walks away satisfied at the end of the day, a delicate balance to achieve indeed.

Hi, my name is Gladys Barbosa and I am a Realtor®, a mother, a teacher of yoga, a lover of good food & wine, an enthusiastic fan of ALL kinds of music, an eclectic antique collector, and fascinated with houses, the stories they tell, the stories they create. I am each of these things and all of them are balanced together.

I have lived on both coasts from New York and Miami to the San Francisco Bay area. Never straying too many miles from the lure of the ocean, sandy beaches, and the sound of the rolling waves. So, it should come as no surprise that I came to settle, and sell real estate, in the Ocean State. I mean, how perfect is that?

My career in real estate began in 2004 but is actually the culmination of twenty years of marketing and PR experience, from the arenas of corporate banking to international yacht racing to community fundraising, all played out against a backdrop of buying and selling antiques. Throughout the years I also bought and sold houses, for myself to live in, for investment, and fell in love with the process. With the thrill of the hunt, the art of the deal, the endless possibilities and potential each property posed, I was hooked.

So now I make my living, buying and selling properties for you. While every deal is different, my approach remains the same. Always keep your eye on the end goal, never lose your sense of humor, treat others as you would want to be treated, and if you can keep it all in balance – absolutely anything is possible.

I look forward to meeting and working together with you on the sale or purchase of your next property. until then, Namaste!

TESTIMONIALS

We wanted to send a quick note to tell you how wonderful Gladys Barbosa was to work with while we were looking for condos in Newport. Right from the start, she was energetic, followed up quickly on any questions we had, and was a pleasure to work with. We chose a townhouse that we loved almost immediately and put a bid on it, but for some reason (many reasons) the sale did not come together easily. We settled on a purchase price right away, but there were multiple problems with condo docs, the sellers travelling, the inspection, etc. Gladys pulled off this sale almost singlehandedly; I am sure without someone of her caliber, we or the sellers would have walked away from the deal-and we really loved this place. She spent a lot of time on her own searching documents, meeting with the sellers lawyer, being present for inspections – really advocating for us all the way. We were also very impressed with her knowledge base about real estate – my husband is a business/real estate lawyer in MA, so he really appreciated how knowledgeable she is. She has a lovely personality, both with us and all of the people we had to deal with, even when things got a little contentious. We are very newly into our townhouse, and love it just as much as we thought we would. I could go on and on, but will stop here – we just wanted you to know what a wonderful experience it was working with Gladys. I have already given her name to two of our friends who are thinking of looking in Newport for vacation homes.

TESTIMONIALS

It is with highest regard that we write this letter on behalf of our home buying experience with Gladys Barbosa. We first met Gladys when we were viewing a home in the neighborhood of our dreams in South Kingstown. While that home wasn’t right for us, Gladys had a clear understanding of what we were looking for and we felt a connection with her. She continued to show us homes and, sure enough, she was able to help us find and secure our dream home in that same neighborhood. We are so grateful that we met Gladys that initial day and we are equally grateful for the support and enthusiasm she provided us during our home hunting and buying experience. Gladys went above and beyond; she was with us every step of the way. Whether it was being there for the home inspection or responding to our calls and emails; her responsiveness was a welcome and calming influence. Gladys’ knowledge allowed us to secure our dream home and her emotional support made the process unforgettable. She demonstrates a calm professionalism that is easily rivaled by her kindness. She truly cares about her clients and this shows in her actions. We hold Gladys in highest regard and are happy to now call her a friend. She is, without a doubt, an exceptional Realtor® and an amazing person.

TESTIMONIALS

I have had a long-term working relationship with Gladys Barbosa, in both the purchase and sale of properties in Warwick, Wakefield and Narragansett, Rhode Island. She is an outstanding real estate professional who is friendly, gregarious, intelligent, and always my go-to person when I am considering a real estate transaction. Gladys is extremely knowledgeable about the Rhode Island real estate market and, thus, always capable of steering me towards a successful outcome. In two real estate transactions this year, she cleverly positioned me in a way that I was the highest bidder on a short sale property by providing me with an option that I did not know was even available to me. In addition, when selling my home in order to purchase the short sale, she was able to give me simple suggestions for inexpensive staging and improvements that led to a quick sale. I was a very happy seller and buyer, within a very short period of time. If you are considering any type of real estate transaction, I would highly recommend that you work with Gladys Barbosa.

TESTIMONIALS

We owe you a tremendous belated but no less heartfelt thank you. While it was a busy summer moving in we just kept marveling over and over again at how much we love our new home and how wonderful you were in making it all happen for us. Never having sold a house before, and with very little experience in purchasing one you, from the moment we met put us at ease and made us feel comfortable with every aspect of buying and selling from start to finish. Not only did you do a tremendous job for us professionally, we also enjoyed you tremendously personally. We will recommend you to everyone we know who ever plans to buy or sell a house.

TESTIMONIALS

Gladys Barbosa is a realtor who leads with her heart in the service of others. From the get-go, Gladys worked with me to articulate and understand my dreams for a home near the water as it accorded with my budget. Through it all, she was positive, creative and relentless in the way you hope a realtor will act upon your behalf because they care about bringing their best selves to what they do. Early on, as I lived some distance from the area, this took the form of going to a location and facetiming the home and neighborhood. Later on, this took the form of taking the time to process what didn’t work in a potential home. When I found the right home, Gladys went right to work in helping me to shape the best possible offer. I could not have been more pleased with how everything worked out. If you are seeking a realtor who is down to earth, genuinely friendly, kind and curious, and who always demonstrates that she has your best interests at heart, then I would urge you to reach out to Gladys.
