Barbara Woods
REALTOR�
Barbara joined Active Adults Realty in 2013 right after moving to Delaware from Maryland's Eastern Shore. "Being in my "active 60's," there was no question in deciding which brokerage was right for me. I'm a typical "Boomer" in many ways, having worked in many fields in the Wash. D.C. area, as a bilingual legal assistant and then, as an art therapist mostly working with vets at Walter Reed."
My husband and I are so pleased with our decision to move to Delaware and are still pinching ourselves at how great it turned out! I am happy to share my knowledge of the area with you in helping you find the right home for you in the right community."

Of these Baby Boomer women, writer Mary Beth Franklin claims, "As they grow older, many will face financial challenges and some will need care... cooperative housing could help millions of single boomers improve their retirement prospects by cutting costs, stretching savings and providing companionship as they age." Given the opportunity to buy a house with like-minded individuals Read More.
