An adage says that if you follow your passion, you'll never "work" a day in your life. Because Licensed Real Estate Salesperson Shaka Barnes has been following his passions for all of his life, he makes the work of successful real estate appear easy. An accomplished chef, Barnes seasons his clients with expertise and bastes them with unparalleled attention to detail.
Born in Brooklyn and raised in East Orange, NJ, Barnes attended Essex County College before studying culinary arts at New York Restaurant School and quickly rose through the ranks until he opened his own business a catering conglomerate that listed among its clients Senator (then Mayor) Cory Booker, Rev. AL Sharpton and famed playwright/movie director Tyler Perry ! Barnes said, "I was always interested in real estate. The same level of attention to detail that I offered my catering clients is what I have brought to my real estate clients."
Whatever it was, it is working! His clients rave about the way Barnes takes time to listen, really listen to them. When they present Barnes with very specific needs, he rises to the challenge the same way his souffle surpasses the top of the baking dish. With knowledge of the whole city but particular awareness of Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill & Brooklyn Heights waterfront scene, Shaka Barnes is ready to serve his clients with dedication and determination-but with his smile, he will make it look as though it's all play.

With Shaka's help, I was able to acquire an apartment that suited my needs. His relentless work ethic and integrity are characteristics he possesses, which make the stressful process of finding an apartment easy with his help. I would highly recommend his services.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Shaka Barnes.I worked with him during the time my daughter looked for an apartment in NYC. Shaka was detailed, professional and very thoughtful and made sure my daughter had everything she needed to find an apartment which was a great relief to me.If my daughter's plans change i would not hesitate contacting him again.

Shaka went above and beyond for me. He asked lots of questions about what I wanted and showed me two apartments. I fell in love with one and he helped me secure it with the landlord. He was friendly, very respectful, kind and patience. And he is a really cool guy! I would recommend him to anyone!
