Cecile Barnhart, Realtor

About Me

After more than 25 successful & gratifying years in public & private education at all levels, I became a Licensed Realtor® in the state of louisiana in January 2020.

My broker, Frankie Crooks, and all the agents at Crest Realty in Alexandria, Louisiana, have been wonderfully supportive during my introduction to real estate. This business has offered me both the challenge of negotiations, marketing & new experiences and the opportunity to form & develop relationships with truly wonderful people. I have to say, I love real estate, and I hope I have the opportunity to work with you soon!

Home is where the heart is

Your home is so much more than a structure. It’s a place to get messy, bake cookies, plant gardens in the backyard, curl up with a book by the fireplace, watch the game in your recliner, grill burgers on the patio, or lounge by the pool on a hot summer day. Whatever it is that makes a house your home, I’m here to help you find the perfect space to write your next chapter of memories.
