Melinda Barry

About Me:

I am a licensed Real Estate Professional with ERA Suncoast Realty. I have been licensed since August 2004. My previous work experience has been mainly in the construction field and I feel that my construction knowledge is a great asset when it comes to helping a seller sell their house or a buyer buy a home. I can point out things to buyers and sellers that they may not realize is either a feature/value or requires attention.

I also believe in education! I have begun my GRI series and plan to obtain my brokers license in the near future. I attend most every educational class that I can because I feel it is very important as a Professional to keep abreast of changes to our profession and new laws that affect how we handle your real estate transaction.

I am currently a member of the National Association of Realtors, Florida Association of Realtors, and Realtors Association of Citrus County (RACC), and a consistent million dollar producing agent. I currently hold the At Home With Diversity designation, recognized by the National Association of Realtors, and I am strong supporter of diversity within our community. I have held the position of co-chair person for the Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC) for the Realtors Association of Citrus County for the past two years and although I am taking time off will remain active in my roal to support the Board in any way possible. In addition to this, I am active on the Realtors Outreach Citrus County (ROCC) Committee which focuses on many community involvement projects.

I moved to Citrus County in February 2001 and immediately fell in love with my new environement. Citrus County is a wonderful place to relocate because it offers a wide range of possiblities and appeals to most people. If its golfing, boating, nature, horse back riding, or diving with the manatees then Citrus County is the place for you. We have numerous festivals and Celebrations throughout the year to keep you entertained. Just check out the following website to see a calendar of upcoming events in our area http://www.bocc.citrus.fl.us/ .

Let me put my knowledge and expertiese to use for you and share with you the new laws that affect your real estate transaction.
