Barbara S Andrews

Opening Doors to the Shore

What do Clients Say?

Mrs. Andrews was a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable, and she responded to all my requests and questions promptly. I currently reside in Maryland and wanted to buy an investment property in North Carolina. Mrs. Andrews took the time to personally walk on and inspect several properties on my behalf before providing me with her expert feedback. Finding a realtor in which you can build a relationship with, who is attentive, knowledgeable about the area, and has a wide base of professional contacts is invaluable when buying a property unseen by the buyer. Mrs. Andrews possesses all of these qualities, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy property in the Holden Beach, NC area.

Working with Barbara allowed us to take care of other important matters....like a new construction project...while she managed all things related to the sell of our house. Barbara is the ultimate professional. She is a wonderful communicator. We like that she is equally available by phone, text, or e-mail and that she promptly responds to us. Every time, EVERY time! Someone once asked, then said, "Barbara's your agent? SHE WILL SELL YOUR HOUSE!" And she surely did! Without hesitation we highly recommend Barbara S. Andrews. She solidly has earned this FIVE-STAR review.

This was our second wonderful experience working with Barbara, and once again, she exceeded every expectation. She recently guided us through both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one—and we couldn’t be more pleased. Barbara is incredibly knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of the local market. She listens closely, communicates clearly, and always follows through. Her practical advice, strong negotiation skills, and ability to manage all the moving parts (and people!) made the process smooth and successful. She also connected us with trusted service providers, which made a big difference during both transactions. On top of all that, she has a sweet, calm disposition and was so kind and thoughtful toward our entire family throughout the process. We wholeheartedly recommend Barbara to anyone looking to buy or sell. She’s a true professional and a joy to work with.

Barbara was AMAZING to work with! She has exceptional local knowledge and remains calm when difficult situations arise. She has helped us navigate the purchase of two different homes as well as the sale of another home. Every step of the way, she knew what needed to be done and kept us informed the entire process. Both the closings for the home we were selling and buying went smoothly, mostly because Barbara was on top of all the small details. We highly recommend her and her team!

Barbara did an AMAZING job being our agent! We were buying a home from out of state and we would not have been able to do this without all of her help!! Barbara helped us with working with our Mortgage agent and also with the builders of our New Construction home. She is so knowledgeable about ALL ASPECTS of buying our home! She is a true professional as well as with personal information as far as giving us recommendations about restaurants in the area. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BARBARA!!

About Barbara

Barbara S. Andrews
Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage

Growing up on the Gulf Coast beaches of Florida, I developed a lifelong love for the water and coastal living. Summers were spent deep-sea fishing nearly every weekend, and that experience shaped not only my lifestyle but my appreciation for waterfront communities — a passion that still drives me today.

In 1976, I moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where I met my husband. We married in 1977 and soon discovered a shared interest in real estate. After attending night classes together, we both earned our Real Estate Broker licenses in 1978 and began our careers during one of the most challenging markets in history, when interest rates soared to 18–20%. Those early years taught us resilience, adaptability, and the value of hard work — lessons that have guided my 42+ year career.

In 2005, I moved to Holden Beach and joined a boutique real estate firm, where I spent nine successful years as the company’s top producer. In 2014, I made the decision to join Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage — one of the best decisions of my career. The tools, leadership, and collaborative culture have allowed me to better serve my clients while continuing to grow professionally.

I am proud to be a consistent member of the Ten Million Dollar Club, representing over $10 million in annual sales. In 2025, my Team closed more than $26.5 million in sales,  with the majority of my business centered in and around the Brunswick beaches, where I live and work every day.

Throughout my career, I have remained actively involved in the Realtor® community. I have served on the Board of Directors for our local association, chaired the Education Committee, and serve on the Professional Standards Committee. In 2018, I earned my Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist designation after completing advanced training in Washington, D.C. — a distinction held by only a select group of agents.

Most importantly, I truly love what I do. I am committed to listening carefully to my clients, understanding their goals, and guiding them patiently through every step of the process. Whether buying or selling, my clients can count on clear communication, responsiveness, and dedicated service from start to finish.

I am grateful for every opportunity to help market a home and would be honored to assist you with your real estate needs.
