Betty Byrnes is a full-time, full service REALTOR® who works for FC Tucker/Tomlinson REALTORS® in Kokomo, Indiana. She has been a licensed REALTOR® since 2002, starting her real estate career in San Diego, CA, prior to moving to Kokomo in January 2004.

Betty holds the designation Accredited Consultant in Real Estate® or ACRE®. She was the first in the state to earn this prestigious designation. As of this date, there is only one other agent in Indiana who holds the ACRE® designation.

So what does that mean to you?

Betty works with you as a consultant or advisor on real estate.

Together you design a plan of action to accomplish your goals, based on your needs and your budget. Once your plan is in place, Betty guides you through the entire process which can involve complex financial and emotional decisions.

Betty tells you what she thinks based on her experience and knowledge, but she never makes decisions for you. You are the decision maker! Betty gives good sound advice and a whole lot of attention to detail to make sure your transaction goes as smooth possible.

Regular communication is the key to your satisfaction. Betty keeps you updated from day one through closing and beyond. You won't be left wondering how things are going or what is being done on your behalf.

Betty recently became interested in marketing horse properties. She noticed that horse properties for sale in Central Indiana were not being market to the buyers who really want them. Betty is the first to admit she knows little about horse properties; but she does know marketing and how to market a horse farm. In fact, she has developed a mini-site to fill that very need – Central Indiana Horse Country.

Besides her interest in real estate, Betty is somewhat a “techie”. Over the years Betty has often said if she were to be reincarnated, she would come back to life as a “techie” – thus her interest in keeping you informed through Live In Kokomo & AtHomeInKokomo.

Betty is not only an experienced REALTOR® she is also an experienced “mover.” She has moved thirteen times in her adult life. That gives her a unique perspective of all the ups and downs of buying and selling a house, of packing and moving, putting down new roots, etc. She knows what it takes to get the job done, not only as a REALTOR® but also as a “mover.”
As mentioned above, Betty has lots of experience as a “mover.” She was born in Portland, Oregon. As an infant, her parents moved to Denver, Colorado, where she was raised.

After high school, Betty moved to Nebraska for college and with the exception of a side-trip to California, has lived in the Midwest all of her adult life.

Prior to becoming a REALTOR®, Betty was in education for many years – first as a teacher and then as a Special Education Consultant.

She has been married thirty plus years to Paul Byrnes who manages the local Culligan dealership. Since their move to Kokomo, Paul completed his Bachelor of Science degree at IU-Kokomo. For all you golfers out there… Paul is an avid golfer and has only one complaint about local golfing – WINTER!

Paul and Betty have one son, Ryan, who lives in San Diego with his lovely wife Michele. Ryan graduated from Cal State-San Diego in May 2009. He now works for the Girl Scouts of America in San Diego. Michele is also a Cal State-San Diego graduate. She works for American Specialty Health and is a part-time graduate student.

Betty would love to hear from you and help you achieve your real estate goals.
