If reputation defines success then Kevin Barnes is at his pinnacle. Ask anyone who has ever known or worked with Kevin and you will hear three words.Integrity. Passion. Reliability.

Kevin started in the real estate industry on the lending side. Recruited into the mortgage business while in his last semester of college, it only took three months and he was hooked. According to Kevin, “It’s very rewarding to be able to play a role in helping others obtain something they have worked so hard for.”

After 17 years on the mortgage side, Kevin made the exciting decision to become a Realtor and help people on the “other side of the fence”. Already making a splash in the real estate industry with his passion and drive, he is second to none. Recently accepted into Harvard’s Kennedy School of Executive Education, his commitment for continuing education and continual drive to always be evolving, makes him a priceless asset to his clients. If you match his focus, education and knowledge with his previous experience on the lending side you end up with a top-notch agent and advisor who has a full grasp of the entire home buying process.

A family man who was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Kevin is heavily involved in the community. He believes strongly that giving back to the youth of West Michigan is key to cultivating a strong community. He has spent the last seven years mentoring and teaching Bible study to college students at GVSU.

However, Kevin feels his crowning achievement was marrying the love of his life Elisea. Together they have two beautiful children. He is an avid golfer and is lucky enough to still play with his favorite golf partner, his Dad.
