With over two decades in the hospitality and real estate industries, I bring a unique blend of entrepreneurial spirit and hands-on experience to every venture. As a former owner of six successful restaurants and a key player in opening two casinos and a hotel, I've developed a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to start, run, and grow businesses in the hospitality sector.
My journey from restaurateur to real estate expert has equipped me with invaluable insights into identifying prime locations for food service businesses and evaluating properties for hospitality ventures. This expertise now fuels my role as the owner and designated broker of Barnett Realty, where I specialize in commercial and residential real estate with a particular focus on restaurant spaces.
Throughout my career, I've honed my skills in operational excellence, financial management, team leadership, and customer service optimization. I've applied this knowledge not only to my ventures in Michigan and Arizona but also to my successful short-term rental property management business, including a cleaning company catering to Arizona's vacation rental market.
As a high-producing real estate agent, I leverage my extensive background in hospitality to offer unparalleled insights to my clients. Whether you're looking to invest in a restaurant, open a new hospitality venture, manage short-term rentals, or explore other real estate opportunities, my firsthand experience ensures comprehensive, industry-informed guidance.
My approach centers on building long-term partnerships and creating win-win solutions for all stakeholders. I'm always eager to connect with fellow professionals, explore new ventures, and collaborate on exciting projects in the restaurant, hospitality, and real estate sectors. Let's discuss how my unique blend of experience can help turn your business and real estate goals into reality.
