About Jacob Barnes

I earned my real estate license in 2021 as soon as I could, starting my career at 18 years old with a strong drive to build something lasting. From the beginning, I've been committed to working hard, communicating clearly, and delivering real results for my clients across Vermont.

Today, I'm proud to be an ICON agent with EXP Realty, a recognition awarded to top-performing agents for production and service excellence. Being born and raised in Addison, Vermont on a dairy farm, I bring firsthand knowledge of the communities, landscapes, and lifestyles that make this region special, and I love helping both locals and newcomers find their perfect fit here. Over the past several years I have helped clients from the Canadian border all the way to the Massachusetts border and most everywhere in between.

Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or just starting to explore your options, my goal is to make the process clear, smooth, and even fun. I take pride in being proactive, responsive, technologically advanced, and fiercely committed to my clients' success, whether that means negotiating the best terms, guiding you through inspections and financing, or connecting you to the resources you need long after the sale.

Outside of real estate, you'll find me playing soccer or at the gym, hosting game nights with friends, spending time with my wife and son, and enjoying everything Vermont has to offer.

If you're looking for a real estate agent who's motivated, knowledgeable, fiercely competitive, and genuinely excited to help you achieve your goals, I'd love to connect.
