Barry Barnes

Broker

Barry Barnes has been a licensed realtor since 2015, and joined our team in winter of 2018. Residing on Manitoulin for the last 18 years, he completed high school on Manitoulin, and left for Ottawa where he gained a diploma in Business Management from Algonquin College. Returning home upon completion, he was able to start his career in the insurance industry where he worked as an insurance broker for 6 years. Through these years he gained a foundation of knowledge that would be transferable to his future career as a realtor. Barry spent a few years carrying both insurance and real estate license before deciding to follow his passion for real estate in a full time capacity in 2018.

Barry appreciates spending his free time with his family and enjoys his new adventure as a father. In the summer months he plays for the local Mindemoya Brewers fastball team. He also enjoys golfing and spending time outdoors when time permits.

Barrys passion for the industry is fueled by his commitment to strong communication, relationship building with his clients and a commitment to lifelong learning.
