After much success as a broker Barbara dissolved Kivi Realty and joined Talerico DiPofi Realtors. In 1996 Barbara became an associate broker with HUNT Real Estate where she has spent the majority of the last 31 years, spending only a brief hiatus with MJ Peterson.
Barbara had had many accomplishments during her illustrious career.
1983- Developed her own local real estate newspaper called the Real Estate Review. It was printed in Niagara Falls Canada and delivered every other week. This helped develop a relationship between all of the local real estate agencies in our local community. The front and back pages were rotated between the companies equally ensuring that no one company would dominate the paper. This paper ceased publication on 1989 when the affordable printer was lost.
1990- Barbara Anne Kivi was fortunate enough to serve as the Board President of the NFABOR.
