Wayne Barnes... Real Estate Broker Associate with Coldwell Banker Select, Realtors in Tulsa, OK Selling or buying a home is a major decision which is not to be taken lightly. As a full time Realtor, I am personally dedicated to helping you through this processes. I am in the Business of Real Estate as my full time profession. I have been helping home buyers and sellers for 25+ years. I am humbled by all of my clients who tell me how much they appreciate that I actually listen to them about their situation as I help guide them accordingly toward the best decisions for them. I am amazed at how many buyers have told me they were loyal to me because I did not try to force them to spend more than they wanted. In fact, I encourage home buyers to make sure they are comfortable with their payments. My words of advice are "You do not want to be working to only make your house payment." That makes life no fun, too stressful. The other advice I give to buyers is that if you are paying rent... Stop it! You can own your home and have less of a payment than you do for rent, plus a yard and garage! Sellers like my unique, "Total Market Analysis." Pricing a house for sale is a complicated issue and there are multiple factors to take into consideration. I use information based on the entire market so you can make the decision on pricing your house for sale.. My business philosophy is to focus on providing the highest quality service to my customers and to satisfy their concerns. I am committed to offer the highest standards of professional service to all my customers. I will be happy to assist you with any real estate questions.I believe real estate is a strong investment in your future. In my opinion, we are at the bottom of the low price trend. Your opportunity to buy at the lowest price is here now. With interest rates at record lows, it is time for you to take advantage of the current real estate market. Real estate is as much a business decistion as it is a personal decision. Contact me and we will start the discussion. Making Your Home Dreams A Reality, Four things to know about Wayne Barnes: * My favorite son is Brandon. (He is also my only child.) He has given me an amazing compliment -- he asks my opinion. * My favorite car, ever, was a 1965 Mustang Fastback 2+2, 289 V8, 225 hp, 4 barrel carburetor, 4 speed manual transmission. Alas, however, I wrecked it, T-boned. (Not good on a uni-body car, but I kept it in my garage for 5 years as I tried, in vain, to find someone who would do the repairs. I never did and finally sold it.) I really enjoyed that car, tt was very quick and had glass packs. * People really enjoy my cooking. I have some really, really good recipes and I know how to follow the directions. When I was teaching my son to cook, I told him when he could successfully fry an egg over easy, he could cook anything. * A visit to the Smithsonian Museum is on my "bucket list." I understand you can spend every day there for a week and not see it all. Then there are all the other historical sites I would like to see in the D.C. area, including Arlington National Cemetary. * ... And a bonus point would be.... my vice is movies. Westerns, World War II, drama, action. One of my favorites is a black and white movie "The Angel and the Badman" with John Wayne. I also like newer releases such as the Bourne series and television's "Jesse Stone" series with Tom Selleck, (who happens to be a spokesman for the Coldwell Banker brand).
