Barrett Hester came into my life around March 2024. He reached out to me in a helpful and genuine way, knowing I was interested in looking but not quite ready—unless the right deal came along that I couldn’t pass up. He checked in often and consistently kept me updated on available inventory. Anytime I requested information on a property, he responded promptly and thoroughly.

In March 2025, we closed on a townhouse that checked every box I gave him—great location near our relatives, the right price, and you honestly couldn’t get any closer to the pool! (A pool was important to me.) Barrett has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. He’ll be the first person I reach out to when it’s time to buy or sell in the future.

It’s been a great experience working with him over the past year.

When we finally got too frustrated searching on Zillow by ourselves (we live 4 hours away from the area we were interested in) I tentatively contacted Barrett Hester, who was the only realtor who had reached out to us who wasn't annoying. Have not regretted it for a minute! He knew our area well and facilitated our search. He handled our difficult closing meticulously, and was always knowledgeable and professional. We asked a lot of him, and he never made us feel like we were asking too much, but made us always feel like a priority. Seriously, he ended up feeling like family. I miss him, now that the sale is complete! Would definitely recommend him!!!!

Barrett was professional and kind from start to finish with this purchase. He patiently explained areas of the transaction that were murky to me and in the end I was confidently able to move forward with the closing. I was impressed with Barrett's knowledge of the local area and his attention to detail when it came to our checklist for property. I highly recommend working with Barrett!

Barret is truthful, polite, and caring, he is an outstanding sells person. He is very accessible and answered all my questions. He got my house up and listed in a timely manner. He is professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. His attention to detail, finding the right buyer and all the way through closing made all the difference!

Everybody I was in contact with at CENTURY 21 SUNBELT REALTY provided me with superb customer service throughout the whole process of listing and selling my house. They are very knowledgeable about the real estate market in SW Florida.

The whole process went very smoothly, and I felt perfectly taken care of from getting the house ready to be listed until closing. I can only recommend Barret Hester and Century 21 Sunbelt Realty

Barrett was always professional and went out of his way to help in anyway he could. He was always on time and had helpful follow up and suggestions. I would recommend him to anyone considering selling or buying a property in Ft. Myers and surrounding area.

Barrett was the broker selling the property that interested us. We were so happy with our interactions with him as the seller's agent that we used him for to represent us in our purchase of the condo.

We had a great interaction with Barrett and he made the entire transaction a pleasure.

We told Barrett that it was a joy to work with him on the purchase of our new home.
