Buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction. It’s a major life moment. It’s where family dinners happen, where kids take their first steps, and where memories begin.

As a full-time REALTOR® with Britt Barnes Realty Group, LLC, I take pride in helping folks across Leake County and beyond navigate those moments with confidence, clarity, and a steady hand.

I’m not here to push sales. I am here to build relationships.

Clear guidance

Whether you’re selling a home that’s been in your family for decades or finding that perfect first house, you deserve a Realtor who listens, explains the process in plain English, and keeps your best interests front and center.

Details matter

My background in cyber defense and forensics taught me to pay attention to details, and that skill carries over into real estate, from pricing your property accurately to negotiating contracts that protect you.

Real numbers

I also offer free Comparative Market Analyses (CMAs) to help you understand your property’s true value before making a move.

If you’re a buyer, I’ll guide you through every step, from pre-qualification to closing, so there are no surprises.

If you’re a seller, I’ll make sure your listing gets maximum exposure through professional marketing, online platforms, and local community connections that actually bring results.

Real estate is local, personal, and built on trust. That’s why I’m honored to serve my community as both a neighbor and a professional.

When you’re ready to make your next move, I’ll be here, not just to handle the paperwork, but to make sure the process feels right from start to finish.

Real feedback from clients I’ve had the privilege of working with across Central Mississippi.

Job well done!

I was looking online for a fixer upper with land in Mississippi. I filled in the spot for more information. Buddy was the 1st to call. We work through the purchase of a property and land. Thing is, it wasn’t a big dollar purchase but for Buddy it was he was 2nd to none on his professionalism and commitment to the job. In today’s world one just expects things to be bumpy at best when trying to do anything! But still impressed with this process start to finish. Thanks Buddy for great out standing job.

This is someone I’d like to do business with..

I’ve known Buddy for over 10 years after doing business at his shop. I remember his honesty mostly, and the notion that ‘this is someone I’d like to do business with’. I’ve recommend him dozens of times since, to friends and family and all have had positive experiences. He is kind, genuine and community minded and I’m grateful to call him a personal friend.

I am very grateful to say Buddy was a great realtor estate agent and got things done straightforward and was a fast process to handle. Being a homeowner at 22 is an accomplishment in my milestone and I’m very grateful to God for providing me a great realtor estate agent and the faith to keep pushing towards my goal. Buddy walked me throughout the whole process easy breezy without any confusion. He also handled any conversations that we had professionally and understandably with any question I might’ve had regarding to the homes we viewed to find the best one until we found the one that felt like home to me and we did just that. So all in all I will recommend Buddy to anyone who’s looking into buying a home especially my friends and family
