“Barbara was fantastic! She walked us through every step and made each one easy to understand. She listened to us and found us a home that we are totally in love with!”
Gary Nathan | Broker
My wife, Shari, and I have lived in Hayward since 1980. We owned and operated funeral homes in Hayward and Spooner until 1997 when we had the opportunity to make a change in lifestyle. Woodland Developments & Realty was started in 1999 in our home on Grindstone Lake. In 2003, the need for an office in town prompted the development of the Woodland Court office complex on Railroad Street. Our personal service to families through the funeral homes and my community involvement laid the groundwork that has carried over into my current real estate career. I am blessed to have a wonderful support team and work with clients who I truly consider friends. My experiences as an owner of several different businesses and having worked in corporate development and acquisitions, as well as real estate development and sales, gives me added knowledge and expertise. Whether you're looking to sell or buy, I will work hard to make it happen.

I have enjoyed living in the Hayward area since 1998 with my husband Jim and three furry kids. I am an accomplished professional Realtor at Woodland Developments & Realty since 2003 as an Accredited Buyer Representative, and I bring a wealth of experience. My prior 25 years working for Naegele Outdoor Advertising as a Certified Professional Secretary for the Naegele family helped strengthen my organization and communication skills to become a highly motivated, committed individual with an excellent work ethic and an enthusiastic approach to all I do which ensures successful results. I look forward to assisting you in selling or buying your property.
I believe in giving to the Hayward Community: celebrating 10 years at The Park Center as a co-chair volunteer; organizing a monthly Girls Night Out for the area women to socialize and network; and volunteering at the Northwoods Humane Society and Habitat for Humanity. I attend Hayward United Methodist Church, enjoy going to movies, gourmet dinner groups, walking, kayaking & snowshoeing with the Women of the Woods & Water, plus road trips to visit our five grandchildren.
Jim Dahlby | Broker Associate
My name is Jim Dahlby and here's a bit of background on me. Originally from the Hudson, Wisconsin area, I moved to Hayward in 2000. Having vacationed in Hayward for many years, I thought that one day I would want to live here. After a couple years of hesitation, I made the move. Selling real estate full time in Hudson since 1984, I thought it would be a smooth transition. However, the two markets are completely different, and I had to make some adjustments, you could say. Well, I caught on and have enjoyed it ever since. It's been the best move I ever made. Meeting my wife and enjoying all the Northwoods has to offer, I am truly blessed. My 31 years of experience as a full time real estate agent and the fact that I live and work in this fantastic vacationland enable me to provide you with excellent service. I look forward to talking with you about buying or selling real estate in Wisconsin's favorite vacation destination.
