Steve Barnes

I have been a Realtor since 2003 and a member of Mark Hagan Real Estate Professionals since April of 2005. Being a member of this dynamic, high energy team provides me all the resources and support that enables me to focus on my client’s needs. I have been helping people my entire adult life. Prior to my career in Real Estate, I was a career firefighter-paramedic, retiring from the Lansing Fire Department in 2001 after 21 years in the fire service.

Working with both buyers and sellers, I have helped hundreds of folks achieve their real estate goals. My sales are in excess of $175,000,000.

As a Realtor, working to develop personal relationships with customers and clients enables me to truly understand how to be of the most helpful. Whether you are interested in selling, buying a primary home, or vacation property in the area, I will be able to find what you need. I built my home in 2006 after an exhaustive search for the right property. This experience allows me to better find clients the ideal property in which to build their dream home. I've developed relationships with many great local builders. I can help match you with the builder who is going to help you achieve your dreams on budget and on schedule.

My knowledge of the Grand Traverse/Leelanau area spans 45 years. Enjoying the lakes, streams, and trails in the Grand Traverse Region from an early age, my family had a summer home on the shores of Lake Michigan in Leelanau County. Now living on the Old Mission Peninsula, I enjoy fine wines, cooking, and indulging in the great variety of restaurants and wineries in the region. Married to my beautiful wife Kathi, we've raised three beautiful daughters who now have blessed us with four grandsons and one darling granddaughter!
