Joan Berg and her daughter Gretchen Berg have recently joined the Beverly office of real estate firm J. Barrett & Co.

"We are delighted that Joan and Gretchen are now part of our team," said President Jon Gray. "Their individual knowledge, ability and experience are invaluable assets to our company and for all clients who have the opportunity to work with them."

"Becoming part of the J. Barrett team is exciting," said Joan Berg, a Realtor for 14 years and a North Shore resident for 30 years. "I enjoy helping clients achieve their real estate goals. Combine that with a firm that believes in service to the client and a customized marketing plan and this is a win-win scenario."

Gretchen Berg, a former producer for NBC’s "Today" show, said she is thrilled to join the real estate business.

"The depth and breadth of skills I refined at Today translate seamlessly, where telling the story of each home, providing clear communication and being especially attentive to each and every detail are the keys to a successful home sale or purchase," said Gretchen Berg.
