She is Woman...Hear Her Roar

 

And the woman is ActiveRain Member Barbara Todaro.

 

Barbara Todaro Franklin MA Real Estate

 

Barbara lives, works and promotes real estate in the Franklin MA area.  Real estate has served her well as a successful listing agent with a focus on land and new construction.  With nearly 40 years in this industry, she is now marketing for The Todaro Team with her daughter Tammy Todaro as its leader.  

 

Barbara Todaro provides both online and offline marketing for the team members and if you follow her you know she believes that you must “market like you mean it”.   Her “the eye buys” philosophy is evident in the extensive exposure she provides for her team and their listings.    

 

She has an impressive record of success underscored by the listing and closing of 40 subdivisions.  Her desire to be on top of her business and be truly-in-the-know led her to obtaining the Massachusetts Construction Supervisor’s License.  

 

She is vigilant in making sure her team and their listings get full exposure by consistently “getting out the word”.  Her modus operandi  is so  consistent, I have have used the phrase “Rinse...Repeat” often when commenting on her marketing posts.   Like clockwork, Barbara is committed to success and she has an amazing ability to share her winning ways.   This "back to basics" philosophy is more than just words.  It is not brain surgery...it’s simple...and achievable...when it is put into action. You know...Rinse...Repeat.  

 

While I have never met or even spoken to Barbara, I feel as if I know her through her words and what she shares.   Virtually her voice speaks to me clearly and concisely.  If you don’t follow her --- and I can’t believe there is anyone reading this who doesn’t - you should do so.   Now.  

 

I could continue with many Barbara-cittisms but I suggest you go over to her posts and fill up on a generous dose of common sense, hard work and yes...consistency.   In words...and in action.   

 

She is close to her family including new great grandbaby and New England Patriot fan Caleb.

 

Barbara Todaro Is Fit

 

Barbara has shared with us the story of perhaps her most life altering experience.  And she has made getting and staying fit yet another consistent part of her life.   Yeah, see how that word consistent keeps showing up?   

 

Lynn B. Friedman, as part of the Official 2017 Blog Jumpstart Challenge - Enhance Your Personal Best suggests we profile an ActiveRain Member. There were many I could have chosen as this forum is an incredible place and I believe Barbara ranks among the best of the best quite well.

Michael- I call her the marketing guru and were I starting out in real estate or needed help in getting my marketing up and running, I would follow what she does.  Barbara Todaro is one-of-a-kind!!

there's nothing I like more than to get someone up and running with marketing..... actually, I'm meeting a new marketing agent for one of the agents in the office, and we're going through every type of marketing that I do... it will probably take a few months of meeting for her to get it all together....


and thanks, Kathy Streib

Michael what a fantastic Feature of our friend Barbara Todaro  I remember a while back a fellow agent in my company was looking for a referral. I reached out to her and amazingly instead of just offering her Team she submitted a list of six or eight agents with their track records to choose from... Most of the time something like that is unheard of. Loved her from that moment....Endre

p.s.: I never followed up as the what came of it...but we have been friends ever since...

One of the greatest qualities of my "Grammy" Barbara Todaro, is her ability to balance a successful career with a thriving and growing family. She is the "go to" person in the family if anyone is stuck in a bad situation or maybe just needs advice on how to get ahead in life or in their career. As an Officer in Law enforcement with a thriving career, her tips and advise have helped me to advance and will lead me to my ultimate goal. One of the biggest lessons that she has taught me is that EVERYTHING in life and in your career is a give and take. You need both of those elements to advance and build the connections and relationships needed to be successful. I Love my grandmother! Such a nice blog.

It is great to see the comments of praise of the effort put forth in this forum by Barbara Todaro.  Her contributions to ActiveRain are truly as amazing as they are abundant.

My favorite comment was the one by Ryan Tvelia.  Through his words he provides an additional insight about Barbara and those words underscore an even greater contribution.    She along with Ryan's mom Tammy Todaro have obviously put their priorities in the right place by leading by example.

Ryan, be and stay safe.  Thank you for your service to the community and thank you once as well to Barbara and Tammy for  showing us once again - Moms Rule!  And Grandmothers and Great-Grandmothers too.

Michael Jacobs - Yes! there are women that roar and then there's John Lennon. Here's a couple of quotes by John to keep you pondering!

“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans”

 

“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.”

“When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.”

Have a Lennon of a day filled with music, song, and interesting ideas!

I wish you well!

Patricia

Michael Jacobs - I imagine GREAT possibilities for you! Sometimes, you just have to tune into some good old muscians who could write songs and make an impact on people. Here's one of my favorite photos from Montana to give you hope and inspiration.

Joan Cox - I  think fondly of Barbara Todaro often and I find myself going through the archived posts from her ActiveRain library I may have missed over the years - there is so much good reading/learning/educational material there.  It was good to see this post as well as the comments left.  Thank you for commenting.
