Barb Riggs

Barb’s Competitive nature and fervent desire to collaborate with people has earned her much success. She strives to make her clients happy and goes beyond what a “REALTOR® ’s” job description really is. When it comes to her career, she takes it VERY seriously, and loves it when she gets a referral from a previous client, knowing how happy they were with her service, whether it was selling THEIR home, or finding them the right home! Their happiness means more to her than her individual success!

Experience/Background:

Barb has been a Licensed REALTOR® since 1997. Upon graduating from Philadelphia University in 1989, she gained employment with Shaw Industries as a Commercial Sales Representative in the Carpet Industry, covering Philadelphia, Delaware, and Southern New Jersey. Her husband’s job took them to Tennessee in 1993, and from 1993-1997 Barb continued her career in Commercial Carpet Sales with Beaulieu Carpet Company. In 1997 her husband’s job brought them here to Greenville, SC. This was the perfect opportunity for Barb to pursue her dream! She had always been interested in Real Estate, so within months of moving to Greenville, she went to The Wyatt Institute of Real Estate. She has grown her business over the years to where referrals from previous clients continue to be the bulk of her business.

Strategy/Motivation:

Barb’s experience in competing in athletics has made her competitive in the Business world. She strives for nothing but the best for her clients throughout the entire process in collaborating with them!
