About Barnes Real Estate Company

Originally founded in 1957, Barnes Real Estate Company has more than half a century of experience and expertise. William E. Barnes, Sr., a Marine Corps Captain, opened the firm upon his return from service in the Korean War. Currently owned and operated by the third generation, the brokerage handles commercial, land, and residential transactions in Virginia and Washington, D.C. Located in the heart of historic Old Town Alexandria, Barnes Real Estate Company is the number one choice for your real estate needs.
Born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia, William E. Barnes, Jr. (Bill) has an intimate knowledge of neighborhoods, communities, and commercial properties throughout the greater Washington metropolitan area. He began his work in the industry in 1979 as a broker for Cardinal Real Estate and, by the age of 28, had reopened his father’s original business. At this point, they had already earned membership in the Northern Virginia Association of REALTORS® Lifetime Top Producers Club.
After graduating from The University of Mississippi with a BBA in Real Estate in 2017, Bill's son, Taylor J. Barnes, joined the family business after becoming a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson. Since becoming licensed in 2017, Taylor has become a member of the NVAR Top Producers club, receiving five consecutive NVAR Top Producer awards. Taylor is very involved in the Alexandria community. He is a long time board member of Rotary Club of Alexandria, where he was named The 2024 Rotarian of The Year. Taylor was also a recipient of The Alexandria Chamber of Commerce 40 under 40 award in 2024.
In February of 2024, Taylor took over the family business, becoming the Principal Broker and Owner of the firm his grandfather started in 1957.
From the first-time condo purchaser to the large commercial customer, the belief in personalized service continues to define relationships with clients from the initial meeting to the completion of the transaction. As President and Principal Broker, Taylor Barnes focuses closely on the needs of each and every client and is intimately involved in every facet of the operation.

What My Clients Say

This was my third home purchase and the professional and communication Taylor exhibited was amazing. He was especially helpful with getting our lender on track. I know he is only 23, but his expertise rivals agents with 30 years of experience. If you buy a house in Virginia Taylor Barnes is the only agent I will use.
