FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Trust my advice! They current market as a buyer is competitive, but I have several ways of helping with that. On the selling side, follow my advice so we can maximize the effectiveness of the sale.

4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I helped the Lozada family sell their home of 14 years and buy another recently. What I loved about working with the Lozadas is that they followed my professional advice. We took time to best prepare their home for the market by having a complementary staging/design consultation and have the home pre-inspected. They used the information in the report the fix a few defects with the home. When we listed it for sale, we had more than a dozen offers by sunder and many waived the inspection. My clients were in a position to select the offer that they liked most. They selected an offer that was well over list price, waived the inspection, and gave them plenty of time to find their next home and move.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
My wife was working as a business manager for a real estate company. I liked what I saw her doing and decided to try being an agent. I started as a part-time agent for a while, but soon when full-time and never looked back!
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
I have lived in Fort Wayne my whole life, so I know the area. I connect with builders and usually see at least 60 properties per month which enables me to have a good idea of the kinds of homes and features that are available.

Warren Barnes was an outstanding realtor to work with. He was patient, flexible with his time, and always willing to go the extra mile to help me through the entire process. His professionalism showed in every interaction, and he made what couldve been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I genuinely appreciate everything he did and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable agent.

I would highly recommend contacting Warren Barnes if you are looking to buy and/or sell a home. We had some unique situations occur while we were looking for our current home and selling our previous home. Warren helped us navigate through all of it successfully. He really knows his stuff and he went above and beyond to make sure we had all of our resources lined up to keep things moving along as smoothly as they could.

Warren is THE realtor in Fort Wayne. We had a rough few months trying to sell our house and in less than two weeks Warren not only had more showings than we had had in 5 months, but also higher offers than we had ever hoped to have had. His advertisement and presentation of our home gave it the new life we had been waiting for. Warrens work ethic is unmatched, his advisement is thorough without being too suggestive or aggressive, and his professionalism is unwavering. We went from literally feeling like we would never sell our home to finally feeling relief and excitement about it for the first time in months. If you have ANY housing needs whatsoever, there is NO other person to work with other than Warren.
