Honest, detailed, and with unflinching dedication, Barbara Bro is a seasoned real estate professional who elevates the selling and buying experience. She connects with her clients, armed with a wealth of knowledge to make the real estate process one that is seamless.

Originally from Chicago and a Seattle homeowner since 2000, Barbara launched her real estate career in Highland Park, Illinois, following positions as an interior designer and project manager for an international architectural firm in Chicago and as a project manager and move coordinator for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. She continued her professional real estate path in Washington, moving to Mercer Island where she raised her family. Her two decades of experience, love of the Pacific Northwest, and her unique relocation experience allow her to
guide her clients through varied real estate journeys, with astute skills and determination that ensure she will exceed expectation.


When aligning with Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty, Barbara saw a brokerage of like-minded real estate advisors that value education and teamwork as an advantage for buyers and sellers alike. The collaboration of the brokerage and the network of real estate advisors around the globe position her clients for wherever they want their next home to be, no matter where they’re coming from. Alongside the award-winning marketing of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty, Barbara ensures each client is set up for a successful listing or homebuying process.
