Hi, I'm Sheldon Barnes!
I'll be by your side every step of the way — whether you're buying, selling, or just exploring your options.
I know firsthand how overwhelming buying or selling a home can feel — especially if it's your first time. I've been there myself, navigating listings, paperwork, and decisions that feel bigger than life. I don't believe you should have to do it alone.
I'm here to walk with you every step of the way — from finding homes that fit your needs and budget, to helping you connect with the right buyers, to making the paperwork feel a little less daunting.
My commitment doesn't end at the closing table. Whether it's months or years after your move, I'm always just a call or message away. I'm passionate about keeping you informed and empowered in this ever-changing market so you can make the best decisions for you and your future.
Let's make your home journey something worth remembering — I'd be honored to be a part of it.
Home is the one place that's truly yours — where love lives and memories grow.
— Sheldon Barnes
Assistant
Hi, I'm Dashaun Barnes!
I provide support throughout real estate transactions, including coordination of showings, communication management, document organization, and post-closing assistance.
My educational background includes a technology internship at Eli Lilly and Company, current law and public policy studies at Indiana University, and IT consulting work at the school.
"This work means a lot to me because I've seen how life-changing the right home can be. Whether I'm organizing details, answering questions, or just making sure things stay on track, I'm here to help you feel confident and cared for every step of the way."
My Journey
I proudly served in the armed forces, and after my service, built a successful technology career at Eli Lilly and Company, one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies.
Along the way, I also grew a thriving real estate rental business. I still remember the joy and sense of pride I felt when buying my first home — and now, with the help of an amazing team, I take on a few clients each month to help them experience that same feeling. It's personal. I would be honored to help you find not just a house, but a place to truly call home.
