Lucy Barnes, one of the true “Natives” left in Florida. Lucy was born and raised in Citrus County, “Natures Playground”. Her Real Estate career has flourished because of the knowledge obtained from being a long time resident of this area. Her hobbies, which include; boating, fishing, hunting and camping, have also allowed her to delve into the depths of our beautiful county to find the most secluded spots available. Her glorious adventures on our waterways have also broadened her horizons about the many rivers we have. She enjoys all the nature Citrus County has to offer and would like to help you see the beauty of it through her eyes. Lucy became a Real Estate agent in 1979 and has spent the last 15 years with Re/Max Realty One in Crystal River, FL. She has achieved phenomenal success with Re/Max and has been awarded for doing so. In 2003, she reached the 8 Million Dollar mark for closed volume in a single year. This achievement alone has given her the recognition she unduly deserves. She has also obtained the Re/Max “Platinum Award” from Re/Max Regional Headquarters in Orlando, FL. 4 years running. Another award bestowed on her in 2002 was the Re/Max “Hall of Fame” award. Lucy’s achievements are plentiful in the Real Estate industry, but none of this compares to the joy she feels when spending time with her family. She has always believed that family is the “center” of her existence. She spent the beginning of her career focusing on both, family and real estate. She has three boys and has raised them with a loving heart and emotional guidance. She has been blessed with the addition of five grandchildren in the recent years. A day of relaxation for her would include anything that can be done with her family by her side. Now that her children have families of their own, she has whole’ heartedly focused on her real estate career as she has in the past years. A recent addition to her team is her husband Lex. He has joined her in this chosen profession, and has become her partner in business as well as in life. He has already become a tremendous asset to her and proves to be just as successful in the coming years. The support these two individuals provide for each other cannot be matched. Their first year together has proven to be very sucessful. They doubled their production and it moved them into the number 1 agent position with Re/Max in Citrus County.
