Barbara Corletto is fluent in four languages – German, Italian, English and Spanish – and she specializes in relocating international clients to Houston.
"I remember how lost I felt when I first arrived in Houston, so I am very passionate about helping newcomers find just the right place," she says. "By helping their families adjust to the Houston environment, I can give them back a feeling of security."
Her most important tip for an ex-pat? "Don't let those charming Texas accents throw you!"
Barbara studied languages in Vicenza, Italy and moved to Germany shortly after completing her schooling. She has served as an interpreter in the international marketing community. She still maintains her cross-cultural connections and often helps ex-pats relocate to Europe. She is active in the Italian Cultural Community Center where she teaches adults Italian and volunteers at the Italian Festival each October.
Barbara is married and lives in southwest Houston with her husband, a contractor, and their three cats. She loves traveling, the arts, entertaining, and yoga. For the record, her favorite Italian restaurants here in Houston are DaMarco's, Sorrento's, Giacomo's, Amalfi and Bollo (where she enjoys their homestyle pizzas)!
