Dennis Barnes of The Group is the perfect realtor for us. We recommend him enthusiastically without reservation for anybody seeking a home in northern Colorado. We had limited time to find and purchase a home in the Fort Collins area; thanks to Dennis, we found a house (and several excellent back-up options) that met all of our goals and submitted an offer, all within a couple of business days. Dennis suggested a creative idea about how to utilize the space (which we are implementing), and he served as a project manager for the inspection and resolution of several issues, for cleaning and preparing the home for move-in, for some modifications (including flooring), and other projects that were difficult to manage while we were still living a thousand miles away. He is a great listener who is fully committed to helping his clients with all of the transitions that occur when buying a home. We are very happy with our new home and community and could not have done it without Dennis.

Dennis is by far the best we've worked with. His diligence, planning, and communication were top-notch. If we do another real estate transaction in the area, we will absolutely be working with him again.

Dennis was a joy to work with. We always felt like we were his top priority, and our time spent with him never felt wasted. He was always very professional, polite, and made us feel like we were in good hands. In such a rapid market, he was able to keep us on top of the newest listings and book showings quickly, keeping our preferences in mind. He educated us as first time home buyers and made the entire process feel easy. Dennis also has a keen eye for discerning the quality of a listing, as he was frequently able to point out any potential issues with the various properties that we toured. We never felt pressured to shop outside of our price range, and he was able to draw advice from his colleagues whenever needed. Overall, Dennis is a wonderful person and agent, and will make your experience buying or selling a home a pleasant breeze.

This was our 4th boat purchase and it was the first used and non-local purchase (200+ miles away). Frankly I was very apprehensive about the whole transaction.  But I must give Dennis and Ozark Yacht Brokers an A+ rating on every aspect of the transaction.  From the initial meeting they were very knowledgeable about all the boats we looked at and not once did we feel any high pressure sales techniques.  During the negotiations it was clear that they were honest and upfront with us and the seller.  Upon delivery we had a complete explanation of the boat and operating lessons which was much better than any of my previous 3 NEW boat deliveries.  All issues concerning transport and pre-delivery fixes were completed on time and with continual updates.  Finally, I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to go see Ozark Yacht Brokers for your next boat purchase. 

We want to let you know how we feel about your broker, Dennis Barnes.  It has been a pleasure to have been treated over and above what would be expected of a broker.  All the kindness, extra help with phone calls, boat cleaning and even taking care of the holding tank!  What a treasure you have!  I am in sales and I know that little extra makes all the difference and Dennis is living proof that the little things do mean a lot.  We will speak of you all whenever we can and send business because we know you treat people right.  Again, our warmest thanks for helping us out of towners when you went above and beyond your job.  When it comes time for our next big boat step – Dennis will be first on our list!

Dear Dennis, Kathy and I want to thank you again for everything you did to help us complete the purchase of our boat.  Even though it ran into several month and we had many stumbling blocks along the way, you were always optimistic, able to find or create a solution, and never gave up or got discouraged. We found you and your company to be very honest and professional, especially when the boat did not turn out to be what we had all expected.  Even though the boat was 1200 miles away when we closed, we did not have any reservations or concerns because of our dealings with you.  We knew you would take care of her for us.  Now, several hurricanes later, Bob Allred from S & K Yacht Services has finally been able to deliver our boat to us in perfect condition as you both had promised.  Everything went as planned and this last Friday, December 10th, our boat got its first taste of saltwater in Fort Lauderdale.  We are very anxious to use her.  If you have time on your travels to our area, we would enjoy the chance to get together. You have truly made a dream come true.

Dennis:  We are so excited knowing that our boat will be arriving tomorrow.  Living in New Jersey, it is not easy to handle a purchase of this magnitude – but you and your team have managed to handle this purchase seamlessly with the best customer service we’ve ever received.  From our initial inquiry phone call, negotiations through delivery, your integrity and service have been impeccable.  We made many phone calls relating to your knowledge of the boat, coordination of survey, service issues, marine documentation, and you hit the mark with your knowledge of our boat and timely responses.  We knew we were in good hands – you never let us down!  Would you please give our sincere thanks to the entire team at Ozark Yacht Brokers for a job well done.  It has been a true pleasure doing business with a team of consummate professionals and we look forward to many years of boating on our 33’ Carver SS.

Over the years Dennis Barnes has been our “go to” guy for selling boats.  He has sold four different boats for us and has skillfully, professionally handled the entire process from advertising to handling inquiries to demonstrating to closing the deal.  Our lives were made easier because we put it all in Dennis’ hands and then just sat back and let it happen.We also have the unique experience of working side by side with Dennis for six straight years as we doubled the size of our church campus.  It all started with a Ministry Plan (read it and be impressed) that Dennis wrote after a year of detailed research.Then Dennis chaired the effort to fulfill that plan by building one of the most beautiful churches at the Lake of the Ozarks.  He gave up his own time and income to be there month after month, meeting after meeting, as we hired architects, contractors, fund raisers and other professionals needed to complete the job.We believe that the true evaluation of a person is how he spends his personal time and energy.  We saw the highest level of Dennis Barnes over six years.  We have no doubt that he is an asset wherever he may be.  And we encourage you to get to know him better.

I have known Dennis Barnes since February 2002 and have worked with him as both a colleague and friend while I was Senior minister of Lake Ozark Christian Church (DOC).  Dennis was an able member of our board of Directors and a Trusted member of my Pastoral Support Team.  Dennis was co-chair of the task force that led the congregation through a thorough vision and goal setting process.  This led to his being co-chair of the Building Committee that culminated in a $2,500,000 expansion of our facilities.  Dennis was trusted and respected by our entire congregation throughout this lengthy process.I regard Dennis as a trusted and valued friend and confidant.  I am certain he will serve any company with excellence and will be a credit to the company.  I cannot recommend him highly enough.
