Meet Michael Barnes
Real estate agent, The Kenna Group at Keller Williams DTC (KWDTC)
Michael Barnes is a divorce real estate agent with The Kenna Group at Keller Williams DTC who specializes in selling homes for people who are getting divorced across metro Denver. His priority is always his clients’ best interests, and in a divorce sale that means two clients with the same interest in one house: clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and the same facts to both spouses so nobody feels worked around. Real estate should be straightforward, not stressful, and a divorce listing is where that promise gets tested.
Every Kenna divorce file runs the same written way. Michael reads the decree or stipulation first, the group prepares one written market analysis for both spouses and both attorneys at the same time, reviewed by Damon L. Chavez, Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialist, and the price, showing, repair and disbursement terms are written for the stipulation before the sign goes up. Michael runs the listing from there: the agreed showing window, a log of every showing and offer to both of you, offers relayed with a net sheet within the hour, separate signings on request, and net proceeds disbursed at the title company exactly as ordered. Court-ordered sales and spousal buyouts included.
Responsive, honest and transparent is how Michael works, because someone making one of the biggest decisions of their life, in the middle of a divorce, needs a professional they can count on. Outside of real estate he is a true Colorado enthusiast: the outdoors, new restaurants and live music. Looking for a divorce realtor in Denver, Aurora, Lakewood or the south metro? Ask for Michael by name, or send the form; nobody contacts you unless you say yes.

And if you are reading this in the middle of a divorce: we know why you are here. Nobody will ask you to explain more than you want to, and nobody contacts you unless you say yes.
Part of the hardest working group in real estate. The Kenna Group operates under Keller Williams Realty DTC, LLC in the Denver Tech Center, is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, and is led by team leader and licensed broker Brian Lee Burke. Brian leads every divorce file, with Damon L. Chavez, Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialist, reviewing the valuation. Why that matters when the house is in a divorce.
How a divorce sale with Michael works
- Call or text. Tell Michael where the case is (thinking about it, filed, decree entered) and whether one of you wants to stay. Here is the whole process.
- One written market analysis to both spouses at the same time. The group prepares the Smart Pricing Report, reviewed by Damon Chavez, Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialist; both of you and both attorneys get it at the same time. Appraisal versus CMA.
- Terms the court expects. Price rules, reductions, repairs, access and where the proceeds go, written into the stipulation or order before the sign goes up. Court-ordered sales.
- Michael runs the showings and the paperwork. Separate signings if you need them, a log of every showing and offer, and nothing about the divorce in the marketing.
- Close and disburse as ordered. Proceeds go exactly where the decree or stipulation says. The $250k / $500k tax rule.
