Vanessa Barnes

We are writing to express our deepest gratitude for all the time and endless effort you put in to the transaction of our dream home. Vanessa you truly represented us with professionalism and class. 

You guided us through the entire process, from loan prequalification to searching for houses to making the offer and closing the deal. We credit you and your team with a smooth, stress-free home-buying experience. 

This is our second purchase of property, and never had we had such a pleasurable experience. As a real estate agent, you are savvy, personable and know the market inside and out. We never could have gotten our dream home without you. To reiterate, we are nothing but pleased with your expertise and we recommend you and The Barnes team realtors to everyone.

We just did not find a great real estate agent but found a friend. We are forever grateful and may God bless you more. Sincerely,

I would like to thank you and your team for assisting us through the home buying process. Not only did you help us find a great home, you also educated Gloria and I. We are very thankful that we had someone like you to assist us in buying our first home. If I ever come across anyone who’s looking I shall have them to call you. Once more Thanks.

After deciding we wanted to look for a Florida house near Disney World, we then needed a Florida realtor who was well-versed in short sells and could work with out-of-state buyers and their son who lived in Orlando, who would be doing the house hunting. Vanessa Barnes of Keller Williams Realty of Celebration, FL was the answer.

Vanessa immediately took such great care of us and our unusual “long distance” situation.  All of us were able to pursue/comparison-shop potential properties with Vanessa’s easy to use website (www.SimplyFloridaRealEstate.com).  She went to great lengths to give us the best information regarding some of the unique procedures and challenges with buying a short sale, and she quickly learned our tastes and expectations.

Thanks to Vanessa’s preparation and education we knew exactly what to expect and that we might be in for a long wait.  In the event our offer would not pan out for us, we continued to schedule additional outings every few weeks.  Vanessa’s cheery, upbeat personality, professionalism, and infectious passion for her work (and her clients) was impossible to ignore.  She made what could have been a very tedious process fun, light hearted, and very informative.

Vanessa called weekly without fail to keep us updated on the next steps in the short sale “waiting game” which made us feel very comfortable and informed.

When we began the inspection process, Vanessa once again demonstrated “above and beyond” service by working with our scheduling/long-distance challenges, and making sure that she was available at the property to address any issues, concerns, and surprises.  We could not have been in any better hands.
 
After seven months there was a happy ending to this story as the first house offer we made was accepted, and it is now the Salmon’s home.
Vanessa was with us from beginning to end, and without her we could not have taken such a great journey. For a perfect realtor we recommend Vanessa Barnes at Keller Williams Real Estate Offices in Celebration, FL.

Vanessa,
 
I would like to take this time to thank you so much for all of your assistance in finding a house for me.  As a first time home buyer, the process can feel very overwhelming.  You always took the time to answer my questions and follow up with any other concerns I may have had.  Your response time to emails and phone calls was always prompt.  We discussed options together and I felt very comfortable with the process in going forward.  I never felt rushed or pressured in the process of searching for a house.  You would send me different houses that you thought I might like and the visits were scheduled promptly.  Communication was always great.  You kept me up to date with the timeline and anything that I needed to have completed ahead of time.  Vanessa, you were wonderful to work with.  I will definitely recommend you to anyone I hear who is looking for a new home.  I hope you will help me find my next house a few more years down the line!
 
Thank you again for all of your assistance.

Jaime and Vanessa Barnes made the arduous task search for a home a very pleasant experience. My fiance and I searched countless houses with Jaime and with seemingly endless patience. The Barnes team lent their expertise of real estate to ensure that we not only were able to find our home, but also to make certain that we understood everything involved in the process. They were a delight to work with day to day and worked around the clock to push the process as fast as possible. By the end of the search for our home, Jaime and Vanessa seemed less like our real estate agents, and more like our friends.
