Agent Profile: Amy Barrett
Amy grew up on the East Side of Providence and developed an interest in real estate at a young age, often attending Open Houses on Sundays with her father. Her love of real estate has continued to grow ever since, and now benefits buyers and sellers across Rhode Island.
After graduating from Lincoln School and earning her Bachelor’s Degree from Simmons University, Amy purchased, gutted, and redesigned her first home. Since then, she’s channeled her creative spirit and love for collaboration into a series of renovation projects. From full demolitions to staging, she enjoys partnering with architects, contractors, artists, and friends to uncover each property’s unique potential. Amy thrives on the connections she builds, believing that each relationship adds unique value to the projects she undertakes. She currently lives in the woods of Coventry in a bright and airy custom post-and-beam home once owned by her great uncle, Rhode Island artist Maxwell Mays.
Her artistic, entrepreneurial, and local roots run deep. Amy worked in the Rhode Island private school sector for over two decades as a graphic designer and creative director. She’s created her own line of textile patterns as the principal of Bat Hill Designs, named after the East Greenwich farm her mother grew up on. Additionally, she’s owned a catering and photography business, a healthy vending machine franchise, and created a fine jewelry line. Amy’s varied background, business acumen, and positive spirit combine to help her clients think creatively and dream big.
Amy has four kids, Riley (25), Wils (23), Ian (20), and Margot (12). She and her husband Justin, a musician and arts educator at Moses Brown School, are the owners of Glamp Frogmore, a private retreat on their 38-acre property named one of the 10 best glamping sites in New England by USA Today. In her free time, she enjoys raising her chickens, walking in the woods with her dogs, playing pickleball, cooking, entertaining, attending classes at The Handicraft Club, and dreaming up new inventions.
