About Kelly Barberena

I’m a real estate professional who brings a broad perspective and a genuine commitment to helping people navigate the buying and selling process with confidence. I currently live in Granger and have also called South Bend, Plymouth, Knox, and Argos home. I’ve lived all over the country and even studied abroad, which has given me a strong appreciation for how personal and important finding the right place can be.

I’ve gained experience across many areas of real estate, including residential and commercial transactions, rental properties, land sales, new builds, and even condemned properties! I have worked with first time home buyers, flippers and friends. That variety has helped me become comfortable handling unique situations and finding solutions when things aren’t straightforward.

I’m known for being responsive and straightforward. I believe in honest communication and making sure my clients understand what’s happening every step of the way. I also love learning—if I don’t already know something, I’ll dig in and find the answer—so my clients always feel informed and supported.

Outside of real estate, I’m a parent who loves spending time with my kids and making memories and just being together. I bring that same level of care and dedication into my work. Whether you’re actively buying or selling, or just starting to think about what’s next, I’m always happy to be a resource and help you take the next step when the time feels right.
