BARB POZZI
Barb Pozzi's success is based on caring for her customers, associates, and family.
Before she will mention her own accolades, she’ll tell you the mer-its of her mentor, Jim Fetterman, or her longtime associate, Brandi Schott. She even invited them to her RealProducers photoshoot to share the spotlight.
Barb’s love of camaraderie extends far beyond her real estate career to her family and Boulder County as a whole. She’s a loving wife and mother of four (and grandmother of more), an avid walker, as well as a volunteer for many groups across the county.
Barb moved to Colorado in 1971 from Chicago, Illinois just after she married the love of her life, Rich Pozzi. They settled in Boulder where they raised four wonderful children, Brian, Megan, Maureen, and Matthew. Before entering the world of real estate, she worked as a researcher for the University of Colorado. She was involved in the Colorado Adoption Project and the MacArthur Longitudinal Twin Study, two well-known psychology studies, where she conducted intellectual and behavioral testing. While she enjoyed her work in psychology, she had no plans to get her doctorate, so she soon started searching for a new career where she could put her interpersonal skills to good use.
It was during a dinner with some friends that Barb first heard about a job opening in real estate. Her friend, Jeanne, suggested working for her husband, Jim Fetterman, who
previously was the President of the Boulder Area Realtor Association and Broker of the Year. Although she had no experience in the field, she was hired as Jim’s assistant and began learning the foundations of the real estate industry.
Barb developed a passion for real estate as she worked alongside Jim. She proved herself in the first few years and, as a natural progression, soon got her real estate license. Barb describes her career in real estate as a gradual climb, moving from a part- time assistant to a full-time associate broker working in Residential Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate and Property Management. She has always been eager to learn and develop new skills in an ever changing Industry. She credits her success to
the mentorship of Jim, who taught her a great deal about the business. “He gave me my wings,” Barb says of Jim. Their 27-year relationship is a shining example of Barb’s commitment to her friends and colleagues.
Another colleague Barb is eager to mention is her partner, Brandi Schott. Brandi was initially the listing coordinator for the Colorado Group, and Barb was excited to work with a young, talented, hard-working professional. Their complementary skill sets make them an excellent team. Barb’s relationship with Brandi is strong due to Brandi’s ethicality and long-established trust. After 10 years their team has grown with the addition of a new team member, Cauley Kim. They rely on each other for everything real estate related. Barb fosters work relationships that turn into lifelong friendships.
Barb’s steady ascent in the real estate world has culminated in an impressive adeptness when it comes to conducting complex transactions. She remembers a “quadruple domino” of transactions that relied on four separate properties closing in sequence. At the conclusion, each client’s goals were accomplished and their financial needs were met. This success demonstrates Barb’s tenacity and ability to navigate even the most challenging transactions.
