MLS recently ranked real estate broker Holly Fabyan of J Barrett & Co. as the top producing broker for 2008 on the North Shore.

Among her many sales, Fabyan also brokered the region’s most expensive property, Crow Island, sold this year in Manchester.

"The key to success, regardless of the state of the economy, is to develop an appropriate marketing plan," said Jon Gray, president of J Barrett & Co. "Careful and thoughtful analysis of the current market is critical and that definitely includes pricing. When you do that correctly, properties at all price points sell." 

J Barrett & Co. has four agents noted in the top listing of agents providing professional real estate services on the North Shore, the company said.
