Barbara Tapley has been an active part of the Straus Park community since moving here 13 years ago from the Chicago suburbs. She and husband Gordon happened upon Brevard without actually planning to relocate. Charmed by the Norman Rockwell character of our town and liking the idea of four mild seasons, they have loved the lifestyle in Brevard.
Sales, marketing, research, and analytical skills have been part of Barbara’s job history. She was a Legislative Aide to a U.S. Senator while living in Washington and served in the same capacity for the state Governor while living in Boston. During her 25 years in the Chicago area raising her family, she had a travel business specializing in luxury and adventure travel before becoming a Realtor there as well.
Barbara’s outside interests are golf, hiking, bridge, cooking and travel.
