Bonnie Barnes, Broker and Owner Cisco Realty

I'm proud to be the Broker/Owner of Cisco Realty, serving buyers and sellers throughout the Greater Grand Lake area. I got my real estate license in 2017 and joined Cisco Realty that same year. In 2019, I earned my broker's license and bought the business from founders Veryl and Denise Cisco, who built Cisco Realty's reputation in this community starting in 1993.

A lifetime resident of Ohio, I studied Public Relations at Bowling Green State University and spent over 15 years in marketing and communications before transitioning to real estate. That background shapes how I work — clear communication, smart marketing, and a steady hand through negotiations, whether you're buying or selling.

Today I lead a team of agents serving the Greater Grand Lake Area with a focus on making sure every client knows exactly what to expect at every step of the process. Helping you find home and feel at home isn't just a tagline to me — it's how I want every client to feel by the time we get to closing.

Outside of work, you'll find me on Grand Lake with my pontoon, at the pool hall for league night, or trying out the newest restaurant in town with my husband, Jason. I'm also the proud mom of three grown daughters.

Community has always been part of how I do business. I'm an active member of SMART (St. Marys Area Resource Team), where I run two fundraisers each year — the Chocolate Walk and Large Prize Bingo. Through Cisco Realty's Cisco Cares program, we donate $25 from every closing to a local nonprofit, because giving back to the community that built this business matters to me.

If your home dreams bring you to Auglaize, Mercer, Allen, Darke, Van Wert, or Shelby county, give me a call. Visit my Facebook page to find out more or check out my blog!
