Tell Us Your Story

We chose Ficking and Company as we wanted to use Douglas Barnes as our agent.

He is highly knowledgeable of the Vineville area and on what it takes to make an offer stand out! Douglas Barnes made the transaction super easy. He is available at all times, and helped us greatly in navigating the home buying journey! Thanks for being a rockstar!

Natalie Cozart, Macon, Georgia

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.

Mary Rosher, Macon, GA

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.

Anna & Lee, Macon

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!!

After having dealt with several other Real Estate Brokers in the Macon area, Douglas was a breath of fresh air.

He was polite, knowledgable, and professional throughout the entire process. We also felt that he represented our interests in looking for our new house. I would recommend him highly to any other house prospectors.

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.

Lauren, Macon GA

Douglas understands that the key to a successful transaction (and we relied on Douglas both to help us sell our former home and buy our current home) is making sure that the client is happy with the outcome.

At every step along the way, Douglas is tuned in to the client’s needs.

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!

Britann, Juliette

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.

I could not be more pleased with the work Douglas put in to get our property sold- I was selling for an estate from out-of-state and had no worries knowing he was taking care of the entire process

Brian Williams, Greenville SC

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!

Christopher, 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.

Jonathan & Cason, Blanton Blvd

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!

Dana Ketcher & Ryan Tokarz, Tampa, FL (soon to be Macon)

Doug did a great job for us, will always be grateful!

James Stallings Macon Georgia
