"Most parents read their kids fairy tales. My dad used to read me the Real Estate section of the Sunday New York Times. I fondly recall circling his favorite ads in red crayon."

Barbara Gruson has spent nearly two decades garnering multifaceted real estate experience in the private residential and commercial sectors at top brokerage firms, providing the highest level of service and results to her customers.
