Barrows & Associates of Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s welcomes new team member Ann Cunningham

Brian and Jenn Barrows of Barrows & Associates at Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International Realty have announced the addition of a new team member, Ann Cunningham.

“Despite the downturn in the real estate market we’ve all experienced, we have been able to consistently increase our client base, listings and sales over the last five years. Since we have continued to grow and build our market share, expanding our group was the next natural step for our clients’ benefit,” said Jenn Barrows, president and Realtor with Barrows & Associates.

“We are excited to add another diverse member to our group. Ann is naturally outgoing, personable and really cares about each client individually. She fits perfectly with our Client for Life philosophy and the everyday attitude we carry with us,” said Brian Barrows, vice president and Realtor with Barrows & Associates.

Cunningham grew up in Wilmington and always loved visiting the beach area. After a 23-year stay in Albany, N.Y., she returned to her Delaware roots. A Rehoboth resident since 2003, she is very involved in her community. She can be seen every summer Tuesday volunteering for the Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market.

She is a member of the Friends of Rehoboth Beach Library Board and also sits on the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society Board. Before joining Ocean Atlantic Sotheby's International Realty, Cunningham was an oncology clinical nurse specialist. Working with cancer and hospice patients has really helped her keep things in perspective.

Over the years, Cunningham has renovated, decorated and built homes of her own. She has a great design sense and love of architecture. As co-chair of the Rehoboth Art League Cottage Tour for two years, she shares her love of Rehoboth homes with the community.

"I am very fortunate to have Ann as a Realtor here at Ocean Atlantic Sotheby's International Realty. Ann has already hit the ground running and in her first six months of sales has already participated in over $3 million dollars of real estate sales. That is quite an impressive feat for anyone, let alone a new agent," said Justin Healy, broker of OASIR. "Working alongside the Barrows’ team should help ensure that Ann becomes a very successful Realtor."

Ann chose to team with Brian and Jenn Barrows for a myriad of reasons, but one was central to her decision. She said, “The Barrows have won the coveted Five Star Realtor Award given by Delaware Today Magazine in both 2010 and 2011. They are one of the few beach area Realtors to win two consecutive years, and that speaks volumes about their professionalism and service to their clients.” The Five Star Realtor Award is chosen through surveys of actual buyers’ and sellers’ satisfaction with their Realtor from home transactions the previous year.

“Winning this award means so much to us, because it is an indication of how satisfied a client is with our overall performance from the sales or listing/marketing process through to final settlement and beyond,” said Brian Barrows. Only the top 6 percent of all Realtors in the state of Delaware have been chosen as Five Star Realtors.
