The people at Harbor Realty are highly trained, dedicated professionals, people who have earned the respect of their peers. Staff members are active participants in the Realty Board, having served on committees and on local, state and national Boards of Directors. Harbor Realty is the only company in the area to have had four Realty Board Presidents. The technical competence and professional skill of our staff is continually upgraded through a variety of training programs. This includes a comprehensive review of new regulations, up-to-the-minute market trends, the money market and other factors affecting real estate. The Harbor Realty team includes many brokers.

Just as important as professional achievements are the things Harbor Realty people do for their community - like serving as service club president, chamber of commerce president, church elder and supporting youth activities such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and high school booster clubs. Harbor Realty is totally involved for the betterment of the community.

We pride ourselves in the fact that we are locally owned and managed. There is a continuity in our sales staff, with not much turnover. Our image is conservative, not flashy ? we are a very solid, successful firm. We get repeat business because we have a history of producing results.
