Barbara Morales, is an independent Realtor® with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Gallo Realty located in downtown Rehoboth Beach. Barbara spent 10 years as a Contract Specialist and negotiator at America Online (AOL) giving her the expertise to assist clients through the legal maze of purchasing real estate and the added benefit of understanding how technology has changed the way people do business. As a native of the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area who fled to the slower pace and beautiful beaches of Rehoboth Beach, Barbara specializes in helping those new to Delaware make sense of the Rehoboth Beach and surrounding resort real estate market.
INTERNET MARKETING:
Statistics show that about 96% of all Buyers start their search for real estate on the Internet. After spending 10 years at AOL, Barbara is intimately familiar with the power of the Internet. Upon her return to the real estate industry Barbara immediately built the award-winning website BeachByBabs.com and aggressively marketed that site on Yahoo, Google, AOL and MSN. Recognizing that the Internet is the first place Buyers look for properties, Barbara built additional websites to capture the attention of those potential Buyers. Eventually BeachByBabs was retired and replaced with our now flagship website – SellingDelawareHomes.
Your listing will be marketed on all the following proprietary websites owned by Barbara Morales Associates
SellingDelawareHomes.com – So much has changed in the world of internet advertising and keeping up is imperative to staying on top. So we have enhanced everything that has worked consistently over the years and added new features and the latest in SEO technology. SellingDelawareHomes greatly enhances the look and feel of all our listings and offers greater visibility and very important – ease of use for those potential buyers. SellingDelwareHomes.com is the most state-of –the-art and comprehensive product in the BeachByBabs company.
SellingRehobothBeach.com – This website is dedicated solely to those properties within the much coveted Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach area. Rehoboth and Dewey Beach Delaware is one of the most sought after areas in Delaware. It also commands some of the highest number of searches consumers use on the internet to find residential real estate and commercial real estate, as well as vacation rentals, entertainment information and news in Delaware. SellingRehobothBeach.com will feature our listings on the Home Page and throughout the site.
WaterfrontHomesDelaware.com – WaterfrontHomesDelaware.com features only waterfront properties and communities. The search term “waterfront” much like the search term “Rehoboth Beach” receives a significantly higher number of searches than most real estate search terms and we want to make sure that we capture those buyers for our clients. Everyone dreams of living on the water yet there is no one website dedicated solely to waterfront properties in Delaware…until now.
Your listing will also be included and shared on the following sites:

estate brokers who agree to share their listing agreements with one another to locate ready, willing and able buyers for properties more quickly than they could on their own.
Realtor.com – We purchase enhanced packages for each of our listings. Realtor.com is one of the top internet sites that people choose when beginning their search for real estate.

Trulia.com/Zillow.com – In the past few years, Zillow and Trulia have become dominant online portals for real-estate information, including home-sale listings, and they have
become by far the most visited real estate websites. We make sure that your listing is
uploaded to these sites, so that your home can be seen by buyers searching in this area. We also set up your information on Trulia/Zillow so that it will provide you a weekly traffic report that will list how many times your home has been viewed during the week.
