There IS A Difference In Realtors

DEE BARRERA

Dee Barrera | Broker / Owner

Dee Barrera is the owner and managing broker of Starved Rock Realty. She’s very familiar with the real estate business from her experience as a real estate investor prior to becoming a licensed agent in 1996. She wanted to use her experience to help others—whether they wanted to invest in properties or just understand the buying and financing process. She opened Starved Rock Realty in 2000 because she knew Starved Rock and Utica were an untapped resource for real estate.

Over 3.2 million people visit this area every year, and many of those people fall in love with the area and want to move out of larger cities. She knew it was a great place to start a business, and if you feel the same, call us for support with commercial real estate!

Whether you’re selling your current home or buying a new home, land or commercial property, or looking for a vacation rental or a business, Dee and her agents can help with all of your plans!
