About Barbara Claussen

Barbara Claussen has dedicated her career to real estate since the age of 25, driven by a genuine passion for helping individuals and families find their ideal homes, including those for their beloved pets.

Originally from Kampen on the Isle of Sylt, Germany, Barbara ventured to West Berlin at 18, where she earned a degree in Business Administration with a focus on Marketing. Her career in real estate began at Engel & Völkers, where she played a pivotal role for six years in transforming the firm into Europe’s largest privately held real estate company, with a presence in 38 countries. As the first female Commercial Realtor at Engel & Völkers, Barbara achieved notable success, earning an award for the highest sales in her second year. Her connection with Sotheby’s International Realty led to her relocation to Canada in 1996, as part of an exchange program with the Nova Scotia affiliate, AA Walters Limited.

In Nova Scotia, Barbara not only improved her English but also fell in love with the region and Tony Walters, the founder of her new firm. Together, they co-owned Claussen Walters & Associates for 18 years, setting a benchmark for excellence in the local real estate market.

Beyond her professional achievements, Barbara has a deep commitment to historic preservation, having renovated several historic homes. In 2001, she received the Historic Restoration Award from the Town of Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Barbara's lifelong passion for animals is evident in her establishment of the Donkey Sanctuary of Nova Scotia and Hoofbeat, a horse rescue initiative. Together, these organizations have successfully rescued and rehomed over 120 horses and donkeys.

In 2014, Barbara and Tony relocated to the sunny foothills of North Carolina, bringing along six donkeys, five horses, five dogs, and four cats. Here, she continues her work in animal rescue and enjoys riding the CETA trails, all while renovating their new home near Columbus. Her involvement on the Board of Directors for Foothills Humane Society and CETA reflects her commitment to making a positive impact in her community.

Being close to Tony's family enriches their lives, as they enjoy visits from his five stepchildren and six grandchildren, who appreciate the beautiful landscape and warmer climate compared to their previous home in the north.

If you need to reach working real estate agents in Polk County, North Carolina, this list was built for you. Mortgage lenders, title companies, PropTech platforms, insurance providers, continuing education companies, and real estate recruiters all rely on targeted agent data to drive outreach that actually converts. Blasting a statewide list wastes budget on agents who will never work your territory — a county-level list puts your message in front of the people who matter.

This list includes {{AGENT_COUNT}} actively licensed agents with verified email addresses, plus {{CELL_COUNT}} agents who also have cell phone numbers on file. Whether you are launching a new loan product, pitching E&O insurance, promoting CE credits, or recruiting for a growing brokerage, having direct contact data for Polk County agents means you skip the gatekeepers and get straight to your audience.

Why Buy a Polk County Real Estate Agent Email List From Dr Bill

Data quality is the only thing that separates a productive campaign from a wasted one. Every record on this list is sourced directly from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission, cross-referenced for active license status, and verified for email deliverability. New emails are added weekly, the full list is cleaned monthly, and the entire database is rebuilt from the ground up twice a year. That process backs a 96% deliverability guarantee — something cheap scraped lists sold on Fiverr or generic data marketplaces simply cannot offer.

Dr Bill has been in the list business since 2005 and has sold over 31,000 lists to marketers, lenders, recruiters, and vendors across the country. That track record reflects a sourcing and verification process competitors have not matched. When you buy Polk County real estate agent email list data here, you are buying records that have been through a real quality workflow, not a one-time export sitting on a server collecting errors.

How to Use This Polk County Agent List

The most immediate use is cold email outreach. Cold-email platforms like Zap Contact (zapcontact.com) are built to handle verified B2B lists exactly like this one, giving you sending infrastructure, tracking, and deliverability tools that work with clean data. You can also use the list for direct mail campaigns, SMS outreach to the agents who have cell numbers, or LinkedIn audience matching to layer in display touchpoints alongside your emails.

Segmenting by broker versus sales agent lets you tailor your pitch — brokers often respond to different value propositions than individual agents. The list supports that kind of targeting right out of the box, so your messaging stays relevant to whoever is opening it.

Why Polk County, North Carolina Agent Data Matters

Polk County covers a focused market anchored by communities like Columbus, Tryon, Saluda, and Mill Spring. The {{AGENT_COUNT}} active licensed agents working this county are a distinct professional audience with local relationships and local clients. Reaching them with a county-specific message lands differently than being one of hundreds of emails sent to every agent in North Carolina.

No other vendor provides this list segmented down to zip code level within Polk County — that granularity lets you concentrate spend on the exact neighborhoods or corridors your business serves. Local precision beats statewide volume every time when your product or service has a geographic footprint.
