Before Darren Barnett found his passion for helping people find their dream homes, he had a diverse career history. He worked as a Group Home Supervisor, Personal Trainer/Fitness instructor, International Longshoreman, and Master of Ceremonies (Party MC). He has a deep love for his community and enjoys the convenience of living within an hour's drive of both New York City and Philadelphia. Having two small children, he appreciates the family-friendly environment, excellent school district, and variety of activities for all ages, including the Jersey Shore beaches that Howell and the surrounding area provides.
In his free time, he focuses on improving himself physically, mentally, and spiritually. He enjoys nature walks with his family, fitness and meditating to recharge his spirit.
With his outgoing personality and excellent communication skills, Darren's real estate niche is developing relationships. He understands that many people struggle to connect socially, especially in today's virtual age. He is committed to being personable, open, transparent, and authentic with his clients. He is a critical thinker, quick on his toes, and possesses what he calls the two H's - Honesty and Hustle. He genuinely cares about his clients' housing needs and strives to make the experience stress free while making them feel like they are part of his family rather than just a client.
Darren's well rounded background, and community connections have helped him develop a strong network of diverse individuals and companies, including those in the maritime shipping industry both locally and internationally. He is well-equipped to adapt to his clients' wants, needs, and personalities to help them sell or purchase a home.
Darren's favorite type of client to work with is first-time homebuyers. He believes he can have the most impact on their lives by helping them start their next chapter. Darren puts his heart into everything he does and rolls out the red carpet for his clients!
