Barbara is a native New Yorker, a 27-year resident of lower Westchester, and she has lived a life of real estate, moving many times during her childhood. She has lived and traveled extensively in the South and the West as well as in the Northeast, and she feels strongly that this moving fostered her fervent passion for real estate. It was not only the buying and selling and renting of homes that appealed to her early on--it was the negotiating and the people skills.

For the 2021-2022 markets, Barbara was asked by her manager to mentor a new agent. Barbara worked closely with this agent in addition to selling her own listings and working with her own clients. This new agent's co-selling of six homes, with a total volume of approximately $4,000,000, was a direct result of Barbara's involvement, patience, knowledge, and guidance. Please visit Barbara's website for all of her sales: Barbara Guarino Lester.

Barbara's real estate career includes a five-year stint with a top-selling agent in her office. Afterward, she began to work independently, and, for each successive year, Barbara has increased her sales, volume, and knowledge. She has listed homes in Hastings-on-Hudson, Bronxville, Chappaqua, the Bronx, Yonkers, and Irvington, while also working with buyers. Her work has broadened to include rentals as well as working with investors, closing SEVEN transactions with one investor.

Barbara stakes her reputation on excellent and attentive customer service-she is knowledgeable and responsive to ALL of her clients' needs, whether they are in the market to sell or buy a large home or a small one. In addition to serving Westchester, Barbara also represents clients in Putnam County.

Barbara has a BA in English and an MA in Comparative Literature from UCLA.
