About Kevin Barnes - Vermont Properties Team

Professional Association

After graduating from Johnson and Wales University, I spent many years in the local hospitality industry forming strong ties to the Okemo Valley. In 2013, I joined Vermont Properties and Development, Inc. as a sales associate, bringing with me 4 years of experience in real estate sales and real estate investments. Since joining the VT Prop team, we have become William Raveis Vermont Properties. I believe my knowledge of various software and the latest technological devices gives me the experience to remain current with the latest marketing trends in real estate. Most recently, I earned my CIPS designation, providing me the knowledge and tools to work with international buyers as well as my Accredited Buyer's Agent certification to help buyers navigate the market. I enjoy being very active in my community serving as the current president-elect for Ludlow Rotary, board member of The Little Ascutney Snowmobile Club, past president of the Reading Friends and Neighbors Community Foundation, past president of Reading Recreation Commission, and past board member of Okemo Community Challenge. I am also a member of the Vermont Association of Realtors and received the 2024 local and state-wide Realtor's Good Neighbor Award. I am a native Vermonter and live in Reading with my wife. In my spare time, I enjoy all that Vermont has to offer including skiing, biking, boating, hiking, and snowmobiling - many of these with my 2 sons.
