Jody Barnett has been a realtor for fifteen years and a broker for nine. He has spent his whole life in the Inland Empire, "This is where we're going to stay... and we're ready to make a splash," Jody said. Jody and Chris Barnett shared how much they love their new office, the city it's in, and the nice view of it that they have from their office suite. It's close to home, and the friendly community Barnett mentioned only makes their location that much better. Jim McNaboe from the Veterans Wall of Freedom board said, "Barnett Realty has been very generous by purchasing these plaques as well as giving the Veterans Wall of Freedom an opportunity to operate one of the concession stands for the event as a way of raising funds for the project itself. The board for the VWoF project believes that we are in a great position to bring a unique monument for veterans to the city of Grand Terrace and the Inland Empire region."
