La Famiglia Zippi-Barratt
Our family is growing and my niece Angela celebrated her 40th outside on the grounds at my home, Echo Hill Farm, a perfect covid solution.

Snowbirds Pompano Beach, FL
Celebrating 49 years as a realtor
in Pompano Beach, Florida, Serafina Martell holds the honor of Realtor Emeritus from the National Association of Realtors and most recently, Rex Hardin, Mayor &
City Commissioners of Pompano Beach proclaimed October 1, 2020 Sara Martell Day. Always exhibiting qualities of a true heart, spirit & goodness, born in Sicily & coming here at 2, she grew up in Milwaukee & earned a Master’s in Education
& started teaching special needs
children while working on her realtors license. She was a ground-breaker in real estate in the early 70’s as one of the first women in the industry who then opened her own firm. Her long & faithful service reflects a myriad of projects, efforts & activities on behalf of the Association of Realtors. Her charity, civic duty, religious beliefs make her a local community leader who selflessly invests in the lives
of others & has made Pompano Beach a place for people to call home whether year-round or winter residence or business. Look her up
if you want to know what’s happening in South Florida. (954) 946-280.
I’m proud to call her a friend & look forward to her 50th Celebration on October 1, 2021.
