Testimonials
"
Douglas was available either via text, phone or email. Douglas knew the pain and heartache that accompanied the sale of 317 Buford place and always kept my feelings into account. I am thankful that God placed Douglas in our life during this very difficult time. The process was smooth, no complications. I don’t think there is another realtor that could have done it any better. Douglas is top notch!!

We could not be more thankful for Doug Barnes during the busy summer selling market that involved many complicated external factors while listing our first house in Macon. Doug met with us months in advance, and listened to our specific needs and timelines, and complicated schedules prior to a military move overseas. He was pivotal in creating an aggressive (but focused) marketing plan. Doug crafted a comprehensive strategy to list, market, and effectively sell our home for the correct price and knowing what the market was also dictating based on his experience. He was also always customer focused, and accessible whenever we had questions and concerns--even working around our crazy work/travel schedules and across multiple time zones to deliver us pivotal news/concerns. He was even more pivotal in managing multiple offers, even closing our deal amid multiple buyer concerns that could have deterred other agents and had the deal fall through. He even negotiated a common ground for repairs before our sales deal was about to fall through at the final minute! In short, Doug was outstanding and delivered top-notch service and patience with us as first-time sellers the past few months. He worked hand-in-hand with us and the buyer's agent through the process, while being completely clear on all communications. We closed/moved out exactly on time and it was all due to Doug's diligence and detail-oriented, customer-focused approach where he truly acted in OUR best interest at all stages of selling the largest asset a person owns! If we move back, we will certainly be using Doug moving forward, and we couldn't have a had a better experience selling our first home!

Our realtor, Douglas Barnes was so impressive! He was personable and persistent. Working with my husband and I can be extremely challenging because we are very particular and know what we will & will not accept. He listened you our needs and adjusted his advice and recommendations accordingly. He shared a lot of good information with us regarding the area and things to take into consideration when moving from across the country. He also advocated on our behalf to ensure that we had a smooth real estate transaction.

My wife and I had a great experience working with Douglas Barnes. He knows the Vine-Ingle neighborhood, and as a resident himself at one of its addresses he is able to speak to the attractions of in-town living for potential buyers. We selected him because he sold in the area and sent out effective postcards showing the range of homes he had sold. I will recommend Douglas to anyone who is buying or selling in Macon.

Doug was very organized. He helped guide us through every step of the buying process. He made us feel like we were his only clients and was able to answer any and all questions we had. Also, he had a great knowledge of the history and architecture of the homes we visited. Doug Barnes shows a lot of professionalism and enthusiasm for what he does. He made a stressful time become a smooth and positive experience.

This was our 3rd transaction with Doug. He’s always easy to contact and follows up on loose ends. He’s very professional and patient in explaining details. We’re not planning any further real estate transactions right now, but Doug will be the person we reach out to for any future needs.

Douglas was wonderful in helping us sell our home. He was not only so genuine throughout the entire process, but very knowledgeable, readily available, and 100% supported us along the way. We can’t thank him enough.

From the moment we first sat down with Douglas around the kitchen table to review the documents and he prepared for our home, we knew we were in good hands. Doug was a special combination of prepared, professional, and personal throughout the process. He knew the market and what it would take for us to get top dollar for our home, which we were able to do. Doug helped us navigate all the many ins and outs that come with selling a home, and in our case, moving to a different state. When we needed to move before the deal was complete, Doug was our eyes and ears on the ground, meeting with vendors, looking after our property, and keeping us informed. He personally oversaw a larger repair we needed to make and went so far as to dig up a few landscaping pieces so they wouldn't be lost, and replanted them on the other side of the house. The care and attention we received from Doug was truly remarkable and I can't imagine what we would have done without him.

While looking for a house for a relative, we met Douglas. It was impressive because the value of the house wasn't high, but he was willing to show at 8pm. He also took them to another house after. A few weeks later, we needed to find a house for ourselves and changed realtors because of the interaction we had with Douglas just prior. From the start, he was available the following morning. We quickly moved on the house and were able to secure it for well under the listing price. There were a few repairs which Douglas took the lead and were addressed with no concern. We closed within the month. He also has a wealth of connections to make this process easy. Outside of the home buying process, Douglas is a great guy to just have a conversation with or pick the brain of. My wife and I would strongly suggest Douglas Barnes as your realtor.

Douglas Barnes was a huge help as we put our house on the market just before I left to spend a month overseas. I was nervous about keeping things moving while I was away, but he made it easy. He was always accessible and generous with his time as well as patient and thorough in explaining the sales process.

We're first time home buyers and the process initially seemed daunting. Once we met Douglas, we felt so comfortable with the process, and we really appreciated his approach with his military background. He was incredibly personable and genuine. He seemed to have a good understanding of the area we were looking in and what we were looking for in a home. He was able to understand both of our wants and needs, and he truly found the perfect house for us! Douglas was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond at each and every step. Even when things did not go as we had hoped or planned, he was there to straighten everything out. We know that without him, we wouldn't have gotten the home we had our hearts set on. A truly wonderful experience!

Douglas Barnes was a pleasure to work with! He is very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and didn't hesitate to reach out to his network when I needed a referral. Being new in town and not knowing anyone, this was an invaluable service and he placed me with people I could trust. Douglas was friendly, patient, listened, and more importantly, responded to my needs and requests. He is an expert in Macon's historic neighborhoods and I will gladly recommend him to my friends!

Douglas took the time to get to know me and what was most important to me regarding the sale of my home before delving into the business side of things. Once we were on the same page regarding my priorities, he made it all happen. I accepted an offer above asking price within a day of my property being listed. Douglas kept me updated throughout the process and even made it possible for me to sign my portion of closing documents on my way out of town. I would highly recommend Douglas to anyone looking for a good Realtor.

Douglas made the purchase of our historic 1870s home in InTown Macon as smooth and as pleasant as possible. He remained communicative and professional throughout and stayed on top of every moving piece without missing a beat. His knowledge of the Macon market and passion for the city's history in general was evident throughout. Highly recommend him to anyone buying in the area.

When we decided to sell our house, Douglas was my only choice. Not only does he have knowledge of and passion for the neighborhood, but he’s smart and strategic and I knew he’d sell it quickly at the best possible price. I was dreading the process of selling, but Douglas made it easy and stress-free. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Not only were we first time homebuyers, but we were also moving to Macon from out of state. Needless to say, the process of buying a home seemed a bit daunting. However, Douglas Barnes went out of his way to help us understand the process, answer our naïve questions, and help us feel at home in Macon, even before we bought a house! Douglas was instrumental in connecting us with local amenities (contractors, roofers, etc. that were needed for our historic home), and we are so thankful for his communication, perseverance, and help. I would recommend him in heartbeat, he truly loves what he does and it shows. Thank you, Douglas!
